I'll have to ring Ruth & then bring all 7 of us to kennels & see if she's ok with my 2 pooches. Our whippet still a puppy & desperately tries to instigate play.....all the time. Is Maggie from a home with another dog? I think she is. I'm home all day too so I can help with toileting issue if she still has. How is she around children? Hx She's been on my mind a bit, lovely girl x

Ditto Jess. Just wanted to add that she was pretty good at recall too with lots of treats. I've added a video of her playing with Socks at Elmdon on the Perry Barr Greyhound Trust Facebook page.

I have just picked up the beautiful Maggie from the vets where she has had a full dental resulting in a couple of teeth coming out. She is very sleepy but she has settled down straight away and hopefully will be the perky little girl we know by tomorrow morning :-)

Maggie is a very pretty girl. I hope she gets a home soon.

Maggie has arrived back today. Her owner's comments are below but she is good with children - just not good with cats!
Friday 08 Feb 15:29
Very sad to read this as I know there owners adored them both must have been a difficult decision for them lets hope she gets picked soon x x

Lovely Maggie sounds quite a character. Very sorry to hear her owner can no longer keep her. xxx

We need to find the adorable Maggie a new home...... the following is what her existing owner has written for us to help her find a new home. Her owner is happy to keep her until this comes along x Maggie has been with her current family for a couple of years.
________________________________________________________
As with all greyhounds, Maggie loves nothing better than sleeping and eating. As I am at home all day, Maggie is a pleasure to have around, as she is not demanding and sleeps curled up on the settee, until I call them to go outside, or offer a treat.
Maggie does not bark or rush to the door when the bell rings. She waits at the door for me quite patiently when I return to the house, greeting me with a bounce and a waggy tail. She is not a “jumper”. She loves greeting visitors, once they are in the house, but can be a little bouncy and soon settles down. She will share her sofa, although she expects you give her lots of fuss and cuddles. She is fine with children. Guests have to be reminded of how big she is, if they have food, as she will attempt to take any in sight.
She will fetch her toy if you throw is in the garden, but prefers to chase after a treat. She stands quietly upon returning from her walks, awaiting the treat she is given after her lead and muzzle are removed.
She is very inquisitive and will find any food that is about. She has a history of eating chocolate and will attempt to steal any food within her reach. She loves carrots as a treat and enjoys an occasional chicken or fish dinner. She has chewed other items, such as shoes, if they were left within her reach, including a pack of balloons.
Maggie is not always clean in the house. If you are around she will come and let you know she needs to go out, but if no-one is in the room, she sometimes wets in the living room. During the night, she will sometimes bark to alert you that she needs to go out, but it is just as likely to let you know it’s too late.
On the lead, she generally walks well on a coupler lead with our other dog, although she is always on the lookout for any cat that she can chase. Walking the dogs without encountering cats is virtually impossible where we live, so it has become a battle of wills to try and maintain control of them, once a furry comes into view. As with most greyhounds, Maggie is very strong and has slipped her lead and muzzle and chased a cat on two separate walks. The last time she almost pulled me into the road and I hurt my back and pulled my elbow. A harness did offer some deterrent, but she still lunges and encourages our other dog to follow her.
She gets on with our other greyhound, although they both like their own space. She has not had any close contact with other breeds, but does not display any aggression to any we pass whilst walking – merely curiosity.
The only reason for having to make this decision to seek another home for Maggie is that my back condition is chronic and it I am unable to safely walk the dogs together and feel that Maggie would blossom in a home where she can enjoy the long leisurely walks that I am sure would benefit her.

Hi Ruth. The girls have settled in and eaten well. they've explored the garden and had fun with one of Jack's toys. A beautiful sight. Molly has settled on the bed, but Maggie has decided that she will keep Melvyn company on the sofa. I'll send a couple of photos to your email later. Thank you so much for offering the chance to share our home with these two lovely girls. I hope that they are as happy here as Jack was. I know they'll get as much love as he did from us and all our family and friends. Now fingers crossed that they stay downstairs tonight. If not, we'll need a stair gate again. I'll bring them to visit soon.
