About Maggie

Maggie is a delightful young pup seeking her forever home. At just over a year old and weighing 11 pounds, this charming Chihuahua/Maltese mix has a playful yet sometimes shy demeanor, preferring to be around her furry friends. After being surrendered when her previous owner could no longer keep her, Maggie is ready for a fresh start. She’s leash trained, loves car rides, and makes for a wonderful companion. Although she might need a little help with house training as she adjusts, she is already vaccinated, microchipped, flea treated, and dewormed. Maggie is also scheduled to be spayed soon. This sweet girl is looking for someone to provide her with the love she deserves after all the uncertainty she’s faced. If you think you can give Maggie the home she’s been waiting for, don't hesitate to reach out. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
