Maggie has gone to her furever home:-)
This beautiful tan, short-coat Chihuahua was surrendered to CCRT by her owner who was no longer able to keep her. Maggie is four years old, weighs 5.4 pounds and is sweet as can be.
Maggie is a very affectionate, needy little girl who is always wagging her tail and hoping to curl up in your arms so she can be close to you and give you kisses. She loves to do her happy dance to let you know she is thrilled to see you, or to remind you that it is mealtime. She bonds very closely with her humans and is a joy to live with.
During the pandemic, it has not been possible to socialize Maggie by introducing her to new people and places, so she is quite timid with strangers and fearful of leaving home. With a little time, love and patience, Maggie will reward her adopter with unconditional love.
Maggie is definitely a lap dog who needs to be with her human as much as possible. Her favourite activities are eating, sunbathing, exploring her backyard, getting tummy rubs, and lounging in her dog bed under her blanket. Dog toys hold no interest for Maggie; she would rather act silly and play games with her human.
CCRT’s vet has given Maggie a wellness exam, vaccinated, spayed and microchipped her. Maggie has bilateral grade 2 luxating patellas which do not bother her at this time, although she will often hop for a few minutes if she gets too rambunctious when playing zoom-doggie.
The forever home Maggie is waiting for is in a house where her main caregiver is able to be with her most of the time, such as a retiree or someone who permanently works at home. A securely fenced, private yard is also a must for Maggie to get her exercise and do her business because she has not yet learned to walk on leash. She is house-trained and uses pee pads only for emergencies.
Because of Maggie’s petite size, any children in her forever home must be at least 10 years of age. Maggie eats prescription dog food because she has food allergies and possibly IBD. Due to her very strict diet, she must be the only dog in her forever home in order to prevent her from eating any food or treats meant for other dogs. We have not had the opportunity to see how Maggie reacts to cats.
If you fit this description of Maggie’s ideal forever home and are interested in adopting her, please fill out an adoption application. You can also purchase a sweater and/or blanket for her or any of our foster dogs. Please consider becoming a CCRT Sponsorship Angel for any of our foster dogs by making a cash donation towards their care.

We already have a small part chi dog that has special dietary needs, so another one would not be an issue. We areboth retired, so are home most of the time. We would love to adopt Maggie.
Maggie would love it if you submitted an adoption application for her, you can do so using our online adoption application.
Hi there,
We are SO smitten and interested in Maggie. We are already owners of another Chihuahua who absolutely adores and loves other chihuahuas like her! We are currently looking to adopt a sweet, little dog and Maggie sounds like the perfect fit. We are caring and loving dog owners and would love to meet her!
Please contact me by email (removed) or by cell phone at (removed)
Thank you kindly,
Meaghan

How can one view the chihuahua in their home during the pandemic due to Ontario being in full lockdown and I am in Alberta
The pandemic has certainly challenged the adoption process for not only out-of-town adoptions but ones even in the same city! Your adoption application will still be considered even if you and your future furry family member live far apart. A “meet and greet” is mandatory and you will be responsible for all costs associated with getting to that meeting (i.e., gas, flights, hotels, meals, etc.) in the city where the foster dog is being cared for. If your application is approved and the dog must be transported to your home, you are fully responsible for all logistics and costs associated with that transport. If the transport involves flying the dog, the dog must fly in cabin (no cargo) in an airline-approved soft-sided carrier accompanied by the adopter. However, all public health regulations must be followed and in some cases, that will prevent out of town/out of province adoptions during lockdowns.
All the best to little Maggie!!
My chi Ollie has luxating patellas…and so far no issues..she even runs on 3 legs when excited..again no issues..just a behavior.
Have a great life Maggie x
Hello, I submitted an inquiry/interest about Maggie via petfinder.
I do feel like my environment and experience with these little dogs would be a wonderful fit, I understand there is a run on dogs right now due to the pandemic, and adoption is a more affordable way for people to secure a dog so I am sure you are absolutely inundated with requests for her! I want to be clear that I am in a position to purchase a purebred Chihuahua from a CKC breeder as finances are not an issue here, but my existing dog is the same size and also eats a special diet and I am home all day long everyday and would have NO issue with Maggies care needs, I have never really considered a rescue before but something about this wee one just told me she may be our other half
Maggie is thrilled to know so many want to bring her into their family! Please be sure to submit an online adoption application for her as well, if you haven’t already.
I have submitted an application, just covering the bases as I was informed my last application didn’t go through, just making someone aware 😉 thanks so much have a super day!!!!
I have submitted an application for Maggie and received a call from your organization. My vet has been informed that you may call them for references. I would love to hear if my husband and I are being considered as we have already fallen in love with Maggie.
Thanks
I am interested in adopting maggie

I have a 16 year old, senior chihuahua male with a very sensitive stomach so we are very strict with his needs and cook him fresh food to accompany his special diet kibble. We also make his dental cookies instead of buying any treats and is not fed food from our plates. Having another Chi with a food restriction would not be an issue, it would be easier for us to track. We would so very much like another chi to keep our senior company and to socialize and bond.
