Magdalena is a survivor with a deep well of spirit. At five years old, this golden Labrador mix has already lived through more than most dogs. She lost a leg and her puppies due to a tragic human-caused accident, yet she pushed through the grief and pain with remarkable determination. Now healed, she’s looking for a home where she’s not just a pet, but a cherished family member. Despite everything, Magdalena adores people. She’s gentle, loving, and playful—always ready for belly rubs or a walk in the neighborhood. There’s an unmistakable happiness in her face when she’s around those she trusts. Magdalena prefers to be the only dog in the house and will thrive in a place where her humans are generous with their affection. Couch cuddles, backyard adventures, or quiet nights in—she’s happy as long as she’s included. If you want to make a real difference and give a loving, lively dog the fresh start she deserves, Magdalena is waiting in New Brighton, MN. She’s ready for someone who sees beyond her past and values her resilience and warmth. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
