Maggie
was surrendered to Furever After Small Dog Rescue by her owners at
the age of two because she was not a good fit for their lifestyle.
She was not receiving the time and attention that she needed and she
was being confined to a crate most of the time. We
agreed to accept Maggie into our care in order to ensure that her
next home would be a permanent one and that she would be spayed
prior to adoption. Miniature Dachshunds are currently a
favorite choice of puppy millers and backyard breeders and
we didn't want
Maggie to fall prey to an unscrupulous breeder.
When Maggie came into our
care, she was suffering from several anxiety related behavior
issues, including separation anxiety. After spending some time
in a loving foster home, Maggie became more confident, her anxiety
diminished and most of
her behavior issues resolved. While in our care, Maggie was
spayed, tattooed, micro-chipped, updated on her vaccinations and her
teeth were buffed and polished.
Maggie was adopted by a
wonderful young couple in Vancouver who love her dearly.
Maggie's mom works mostly from home and she is able to take Maggie
with her almost everywhere she goes.

***An
update from Maggie’s
family:
"Maggie won 1st prize in the Best Trick Contest at the 16th Annual
Dachshund Picnic & Race!!! Her trick is called 'Maggie in
the Baggie' - she runs and leaps into her bag which I use to take
her to my office and shopping. The crowd loved it and
shouted for an encore performance!
We are
so proud of her! ;-) "
 
"Maggie
recently celebrated her 3rd birthday by having a party at our
cabin. It's hard to remember the small, sheltered dog that
we first met. Maggie has become our fearless adventure guide
and enjoys riding on the jet-ski, hiking in the mountains and
rollerblading. (I hate to admit that I got her a dog
stroller so that she can come rollerblading on the seawall!)
She still loves to travel in her 'baggie' and accompanies us when
shopping, going to movies and even meetings. Maggie has
joined a dachshund social group that meets once a month and she
loves regular walks with her neighbor dachshund friends, Willie
and Oscar. She is quite attached to these two dogs and
screams with delight when she sees them.
We can't
imagine our lives without Maggie and feel so blessed to have such an
amazing and adorable dog. She has brought so much fun and
happiness into our home and we love her to bits."
