About Margo

Margo is a delightful 9-year-old, 50-pound Pit Bull Terrier who adores music. Her foster family reports she can spend hours happily watching them play instruments, occasionally joining in with her squeaky toy. A true people-lover, Margo would likely enjoy anything from jigsaw puzzles to simply accompanying you around the house. Surrendered due to her family's housing loss, Margo came to us needing assistance with her skin, which is sensitive like many pitties. She thrives on a hypoallergenic diet and takes Apoquel to manage her allergies effectively. Margo also has arthritis in her knees, but that doesn't slow her down much. With the help of Carprofen, she enjoys long walks and short jogs while maintaining her active lifestyle. It's essential for Margo to continue with her food, medications, and regular vet check-ups. She’s incredibly friendly with everyone, including kids, and loves to share long eye contact along with sneaky face kisses. When she's not snuggling, Margo finds entertainment in dissecting her stuffies. She's crate trained, leash trained, and house trained. Margo gets along well with several dogs but prefers laid-back companions. Due to her occasional disagreements over her space, she might be a bit selective with her dog friends and is not recommended for dog parks. She's indifferent to cats she’s met, making her a versatile addition to the right home. Heartworm negative and up to date on her flea and heartworm preventatives, Margo is ready for her forever home. If you want a loyal companion to adore you while you pursue your hobbies or simply hang out, Margo is eager to be your biggest fan. Click apply to start the adoption process.
