About Maggie

Meet Maggie. Maggie is a 9-year-old Yellow Labrador Retriever whose life took a sudden turn. After spending her whole life in a loving home, she was recently surrendered as her owner could no longer care for her due to health issues. It’s a heartbreaking transition for both. Despite her age and slightly weaker back legs, Maggie is incredibly sweet, happy, and full of love. She’s gentle, affectionate, and thrives on the company of people. Always wagging her tail, she also gets along well with children and other dogs. Though she hasn't lived with cats, she showed curiosity during her shelter assessment, and we can arrange further testing for potential adopters with feline friends. Right now, Maggie needs a soft place to call home, surrounded by a loving family. If you’re searching for a loyal companion ready to give and receive love, Maggie is eager to meet you. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
