Named after the beautiful white flower Magnolia is...

​

• Very affectionate

• Nuzzler

• Calm

• Quiet

• Gentle soul

• Great companion

• Docile

• Easy to take care of

• Gets along well with other dogs and is not alpha but being the only dog would make her happiest where she can be the center of your love

• Initially timid of new people

• Has not been seen to play with other dogs in her foster home---she's oriented towards the people she loves

• Crate trained and is quiet in her crate 

• Knows "sit"

• Okay with being alone but of course would prefer to be with her family if given the choice

• Treat motivated 

• Will not eat plain kibble for dinner

• Loves to lie behind her foster mom on her chair with her as she works on the computer

• Walks great on a leash with no pulling

• Rides great in the car

• Magnolia would thrive in a quiet home and one with not a lot of new people coming & going

• Has not been with cats under our care so we don't know how she is with them but based on her personality and breed we think she'd be fine

• Lives in a home with a Cockatoo, Amazon and a cockatiel and doesn't pay attention to any of them when they're nearby

• We do not know her breed mix for sure.  The shelter we got her from said she was a Maltipoo/Spaniel mix but we do not see any Maltipoo in her since her coat isn't curly.  She is white like a Maltese, although she has a orange spot on her side and dashes of orange in her ears.  She also doesn't have the curly tail of a Maltese but instead a docked tail.  Her coat is silky soft and she does not require regular grooming.  Her ears in their fluffiness resemble more a Spaniel's. We do not believe she's hypoallergenic but she may be low shedding. Regardless, she's beautiful inside and out. 

• Housetrained.  Can hold her bladder 8 hours overnight when left out in her foster's family room. 

• 4 years old

• 16 lbs

• Microchipped

• Shots up to date

• Healthy

• Has pearly white teeth since we just got her teeth cleaned by a vet

• All medical paperwork provided

• Respectful quiet children 12 and up

• San Diego residents only

• Adoption fee $325
