About Margie

Margie showed up in rough shape: tick-ridden, shaken, thin, and withdrawn. She’s about five years old, weighs in the high 30s, and looks every bit a Black Mouth Cur mix with her expressive markings. Since those first hard days, Margie has found her appetite for life again. Now she plays with other dogs, something unimaginable at first, and will gently take treats from your hand if you ask her nicely. Her bark is finally coming out, and she talks to the people she trusts. Give her a toy or a bone, and she’s set—she loves rolling in the grass, the simple things. Margie still needs a steady home with another easygoing, similar-sized dog to help her navigate new experiences. She’d rather avoid chaos, so kids should be gentle and over eight. Any new canine or human siblings will need a proper introduction. Margie’s the kind of girl who rewards patience and understanding. Cat testing is possible if needed. Ready to fall in love?
