About Magnolia

Click apply to start the adoption process. Magnolia is a gentle and resilient hound girl with a heart full of love. She thrives in calm, patient homes and seeks affection and genuine connection. True to her hound nature, Magnolia isn't shy about expressing herself—her beautiful voice often makes an appearance when she's excited or has something to share. She gets along with most polite dogs but prefers to steer clear of overly pushy companions. When it comes to cats, Magnolia has a playful streak and may chase them, so a cat-free environment or one with very calm, dog-savvy cats is best. Her past, which includes being abandoned in a warehouse, has left her with both physical and emotional scars, making her cautious around new people. However, Magnolia remains loyal and affectionate, finding joy in movie nights, following her humans, and chasing her favorite toys—especially a ball! Magnolia is hoping for a forever family willing to give her the time, patience, and unconditional love she deserves. In exchange, she'll offer you steadfast loyalty, boundless affection, and the reward of seeing a once-lost soul truly blossom. If you believe Magnolia could be a perfect match, she's waiting for you with her heart wide open. Fun fact: With an October 10th birthday, Magnolia is a Libra—she loves harmony and seeks balance in her home environment. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
