We were sold, even despite her worrisome limp. We adopted her on the spot.” Maggie had no experience on a leash, and on short walks, she was scared of everything — bikes, cars, garbage cans, “even tall men in hats,” Roseman recalled. Maggie’s limp turned out to be a torn ACL and Hospice of the Valley and the Arizona Humane Society worked closely to figure out how to help finance her surgery and rehab. Eventually, Maggie was well enough to begin 18 months of obedience training. She “sailed through the testing” with Alliance of Therapy Dogs, Roseman said proudly and became a credentialed therapy dog this summer.
