About Maggie

Maggie is a delightful and playful girl, full of affection and charm. At around 10 lbs now, she is expected to grow to about 15-20 lbs. This almost 8-month-old pup brings joy with her happy-go-lucky attitude and a zest for life. She loves playing with toys and knows how to kick back and relax, especially with other dogs, making her quite sociable. Currently, Maggie is flourishing in her foster home where she loves being with her humans but is capable of entertaining herself too. She is great on a leash and fully house trained. Whether it’s running around in the yard or enjoying car rides to the vet, she handles it all with ease. Maggie will thrive as an adventure buddy for walks, hikes, or just some fun at the park. Maggie has been spayed, is up to date on vaccinations, and microchipped. Importantly, she will need a groomer to maintain her lovely medium coat, so we are seeking an adopter who can meet that requirement. Ready to make Maggie a part of your family?
