Name: Maggie

Species: Canine

Breed: Schnauzer, Standard/Retriever

Color: Black/Gray

Gender: Female

Age: 7 years

Maggie is a 6 year old Schnauzer-mix looking for a home where she can retire. She’s friendly and playful for a middle-aged gal, but she would like nothing better than a quiet human-only home where she can get plenty of attention, have a few nice walks and then have time to take a nice nap on a cozy bed. Despite her maturity, if left alone in a yard, Maggie has been known to dig holes or find a gap in the fence and wander the neighborhood. Maggie will shed little, but she will need regular professional grooming to keep her looking her best. Please keep this added expense in mind if you are considering adding her to your family. Due to her age, Maggie will need a home with adults only or kids over the age of 16 years.
