Maggie is one very sweet, Yorkie girl, who is 9 years old and weighs about 8#. Maggie spent all of her 9 years in a small cage, and is still showing many of the effects of that. Her muscle tone is not strong, and she sometimes wobbles a bit when she walks. She’s getting stronger all the time though, and loves to run in the yard. Maggie is very food oriented and dances at meal time (or if she even THINKS it might be meal time). Maggie also loves attention. She will roll over to have her tummy petted and likes to be carried, but only upside down like a baby. The more individual attention Maggie receives, the happier she is. She does however, do very well with other dogs, so she does not need to be an only baby. The open crate is still sometimes her comfort zone, but lately she has been spending more time out in the open, curled up in a bed.


Maggie has no major medical problems that the vet could find. However, she will probably never be completely over her time in a cage. Over time, her muscle tone should improve, but she will always have a tendency to circle and lean. She is spayed, negative for any worms, including heartworms, and up-to-date on all her vaccinations. During her dental, Maggie lost the last few of her teeth, so her cute little tongue hangs out. This does not affect her eating at all, though hard treats would frustrate her.


Maggie is a very smart girl and learned about the doggie door within a day or two. She normally uses it, but will occasionally have an accident. Usually when someone else does and she gets confused. When the weather is bad (usually too hot), Maggie just prefers to stay inside and wear her panties.


If you have a quiet, patient, loving home for a beautiful Yorkie girl, please email her foster Mom at texascrew@satx.rr.com with any questions.
