Maggie is a Scottish terrier and was adopted last year at age 7 in June 2007 after being rescued from a puppy mill.  Imagine living your entire life in a cage.  Needless to say Maggie did not respond to any commands, she did not understand what I was saying - from cookie, to come outside, just two little black eyes staring back wondering what I was saying.  She was shy and scared of sounds, grass, stairs, even of me.  I decided then to treat her as a puppy so that her learning process would be gradual.

We worked hard at learning to go up and down the stairs and getting to know each other.  That was a great achievement for her.

The whole neighbourhood loves her.  She reacts to squirrels but not to cats.  With Maggie every new thing she does is a gift.  She lets me brush her teeth, lets me groom her and she never retaliates. 

Maggie made me lose 30 pounds in one year from walking her twice a day.  In short, I am good to her but most important she is good to me.

Thanks to the staff at the centre for caring for these little friends in need.  We wish you the best.
