Hi, My name is Maggie, and I am incredibly gentle, sweet, and calm! Quick Facts: Breed: Great Pyrenees mix Gender: Female, spayed Age: 4 years old Size: 55 pounds Good with… Dogs? Dogs? Yes Cats? Yes! Kids? Calm and mature. History I was owned by some folks in rural KY who kept me outside 24/7. They never spent any time with me, I was out there by myself all the time, it was very sad. With nothing to do, I would dig holes in the dirt to entertain myself (and also to lay in when it was hot). They didn’t like me doing that, and when they took me to the local high-kill shelter to leave me forever, they told the staff that they were tired of filling in the holes I dug, so they were getting rid of me. Sad story, and I was quite scared at the shelter,…

Yes, see below Background: I came in as a stray to a very overcrowded, high-kill shelter in Tennessee, where I was going to be put to sleep because I had heartworms.

Personality: If you’re looking for a perfectly mellow, gentlemanly dog, look no further than me. I am a…

Barks and growls at them, not a good sign… Good with kids? Yes! Background: I come all the way from KY, where I was originally in a high-kill, very crowded shelter, and it’s a pretty amazing thing that I am alive right now. The shelter needed to make some space, so called their veterinarian to come and put to sleep those of us who had been there for a little while, but when the vet met me, she just couldn’t do it. I was too sweet, she thought, and far too friendly. So she called…
