Maggie May is a beautiful tri-colour beagle looking for a loving new home with someone who understands the breed and can give her the reassurance and companionship she needs.
She is a gentle, affectionate girl who enjoys being close to her people and loves anything food-related—as most beagles do!
Maggie is microchipped, wormed, and generally in good health for her age. She has a couple of harmless fatty lumps that have been checked by the vet.
About Maggie
Maggie is a sweet and loving dog who forms strong bonds with her owner. She enjoys a calm home life, loves attention, and is happiest when near her people.
- Housetrained
- Crate trained
- Travels well and is getting more confident in the car
- Sleeps happily in her own bed in the bedroom
She enjoys toys like tug ropes, lick mats, and puzzle games, especially when treats are involved.
Exercise & Lead Behaviour
Maggie enjoys her walks and settles nicely after an initial little pull on the lead.
- Can be scent-driven and scavenges if given the chance
- Recall training had started but she has not regularly been off lead
- Occasionally lunges towards other dogs out of excitement, not aggression
She has never shown aggression towards other dogs.
Important Considerations
Separation Anxiety:
Maggie struggles being left alone and can become distressed:
- Becomes anxious and worked up if left
- Can become destructive when stressed
- Would suit a home where someone is around most of the time
Resource Guarding:
If Maggie has something she shouldn’t have, she may growl or snarl when it is taken away. This is manageable with understanding and careful handling.
Social Behaviour
- Generally good with other dogs
- Could potentially live with another calm dog after proper introductions
- Could live with cats with time and adjustment
Food & Feeding
Maggie is very food-motivated and enjoys:
- Lick mats
- Puzzle feeders
- Treat games
- Butcher’s grain-free food with tripe
As a typical beagle, she loves scavenging and will look for food opportunities whenever possible.
Ideal Home
Maggie would thrive in:
- A calm, understanding home
- Someone experienced with beagles or scent hounds
- Owners who are around most of the day
- A home willing to continue building her confidence when left alone
Another friendly dog may help her settle and feel more secure.
Final Thoughts
Maggie is a loving, loyal, and affectionate older girl who still has plenty of life and love to give. In the right home, with patience and understanding, she will make a devoted and rewarding companion.
