Description:
Meet Magpie, the sweetest soul you’ll encounter! Magpie came from a ruff past but has since been able to adapt to a brighter life. She’s an extremely smart dog; she knows sit, stay, shake, lay down, good on a leash (look at this video), fully potty trained, kennel trained and much more. This girl LOVES to snuggle and be by her fosters; no matter what’s going on she loves to be involved. She does great in all settings she’s been in so far which consists of some loud noises, a lot of people, kids, other dogs — as long as she’s involved she doesn’t care what’s going on around her. She also does well in calm environments; she’ll certainly take the opportunity to nap if it arises (can’t blame her). At night she snuggles in her own bed in her foster’s room and does great out of the kennel at night. She’s not much of a barker but on occasion she’ll help to let the house know someone has arrived (this is mostly when her foster brother starts the barking). Magpie is from a local impound. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application. An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract. To learn more about Ruff Start’s adoption process and the care our foster animals receive, please visit our How to Adopt page. If you are unable to adopt but want to help this animal and others in our care, you can donate to support the medical and veterinary needs of all Ruff Start Rescue animals.
