OK.  If you are in the market for a companion and have not asked about this girl......you are missing the boat!!!  Maxine aka Penny is a fantastic girl looking for a loving home.  She really has no bad habits that we have seen.  Now that we have been able to open the windows here and there we have noticed that she does not like motorcycles!!  She will bark and run to the window when she hears one go by.  So, unless you are part of a motorcycle gang........she would be great in your home!!  She always has a tail wag when you enter the room.....even if she is sound asleep! She has gotten along with all the dogs that have come in and out of our home and loves people of any size, shape and gender!!  She loves walks and loves to be petted.  She has not tried to get on our beds but she does like a soft couch or dog bed!!!  My husband put her on the bed one night and she was right up against my body acting like she was scared.  So we asked her to jump down, which she did and then headed for the couch! 

If you would like to talk, please contact RAGOM!  I would love to sing the praises of this sweet girl!!!

Just a quick update on Maxine/aka Penny.  She was turned over to RAGOM by a shelter in Iowa after her owners were found but didn't want her back.  The shelter indicated that her previous home had just been deemed "unlivable for humans" so maybe running away (if in fact that is what happened) was a good move on her part.  She is doing so well in our home.  She gets along with the dogs good...other than our male Chow mix.  She seems to have some issues with him getting too close to her or us.  She just growls a little when he gets too close to her or if he is getting "the love" and she is not.  We have not had any fights so I think she is just letting him know a thing or two. She is the most affectionate foster that we have ever had.  She needs someone who is willing to give her lots of attention.  She will be under your feet as she loves to be near you but will go lay down if you are firm with her.  She loves to roll on her back on the couch and be silly!!  She sleeps all night on our couch in the living room with no problem. I think she would love to sleep in the bedroom with us but our 14 year old golden always gets the dog bed first!!! Not sure if she got regular meals in the past so food is a big thing for her. Counters need to be cleared off if you are going to be gone or out of the room.  I have not seen her around kids but I cannot imagine she would have a problem.  My grandson will be here at Christmas so that will be a good test. If you are looking for a loving companion who takes very little care, this is your girl!!  She walks nice on a leash and is happy to do her "business" on a tie out.  She doesn't need much.....just a loving touch and a healthy home!  Please, if you would like to talk to me, contact RAGOM!!!  She is going to make someone very happy!!!
