Adopted April 6, 2007

Maggie came from a family that loved her very much, but didn't have the time to socialize her as much as needed. She was left alone and in the basement a lot and that was not fair. Maggie was very protective of her home and barked at people when she was on her leash. Now, Maggie plays with the other Shepherds and is a doll. She knows Sit, Down, Stay and is very responsive.
