Maggie - Female Rhodesian RidgebackWhippet Mix

Hello everyone. I m Maggie a very sweet and smart 10 year old lady weighing about 45 lbs. You can call me Mags for short. I was found as a stray in Chilliwack when I was a puppy so my lineage is unknown. My owner thinks I am a mix of Ridgeback Whippet and possibly German Shepherd mix I was adopted from the SPCA in 2006 when I was a little under a year old. I have a low to moderate energy level and fairly minimal exercise needs. I love to run (although I get tired pretty quickly) but I also love to chill and lounge around just as much (who doesn t ). I am great and very gentle with kids cats and other dogs. I can be a little standoffish around new people especially men but that s only until I get to know them. After that my normal sweet self comes back.I ve been a regular visitor to the dog park since I was adopted and have never acted aggressively towards any other creature - not even squirrels I hardly ever bark only when a strange dog is walking past the house. One of my favorite activities is going for a walk usually without the need for a leash and exploring my surroundings. I don t really do the whole fetch thing but I love running alongside dogs that do. Honestly I am just happy being with my family and doing whatever they re doing.For the same reason I really don t like being left on my own. I have some separation anxiety that shows up when my owners leave. Because of this I d love to be with a family who will rarely leave me alone. Another dog might help me feel more at ease when our humans are away. Whether it is going for walks puttering around in the garden or just chilling on the coach I am the perfect companion.Because of my age I ve had some trouble in my left knee joint. Usually after I ve had a long walk or run it can flare up and cause me some discomfort. I also have some food sensitivity to beef which tends to make me itchy. I am currently fed a salmon-based diet which keeps my food sensitivity in check.I am a very smart girl who knows my commands and wants nothing more than to please my person. I am spayed tattooed and all my medical records can be found at the Bakersview Animal Hospital in Abbotsford. My adoption fee is 100.... More Info
