Some say the second time's the charm, and I truly believe it! Hi, I'm Maggie, a sweet 1.5-year-old, 70 lb Lab mix who's ready for my true forever home. My journey started with The Cantu Foundation before, and after a little detour, I'm back, more ready than ever to find my perfect family. I'm a big softie with a heart full of love, just waiting to share it all with you. I'm a true "Velcro dog" who bonds quickly and completely to my people, always eager to be right by your side, whether you're relaxing or moving around the house. Give me a toy, and I can entertain myself for ages! I adore playing and have a blast with my foster pup sister, showing off my playful, goofy side. I'm completely comfortable and content in my crate, seeing it as my safe den, and I'm a pro at being fully potty trained, always knowing exactly where to do my business. The world outside my home can sometimes feel a bit big and new, but with your help and reassurance, I'm learning that new experiences aren't so scary after all.
Ideal Home
My loving nature truly shines in a comfortable home environment. While I adore being close to my humans and will look to you for guidance and reassurance, exploring the great outdoors is still a journey we're working on together. Because I didn't get much early exposure to different environments, I can sometimes feel a bit overwhelmed on walks, benefiting from slow introductions to new sights and sounds. I tend to feel most comfortable pottying in a home with a yard, but we are making great progress every day in building my confidence in various outdoor settings. I grew up with small children and was told I was very gentle and loving with them, so I could be a wonderful family dog.

We are making great progress every day in building my confidence in various outdoor settings.
