About Maggie

Maggie is a lively, friendly dog with a playful spirit. At just about 8-10 months old and weighing around 12 pounds, she’s a bundle of joy who thrives on attention. Maggie loves to play with other dogs and enjoys exploring her surroundings, making her an ideal companion for playdates and outdoor adventures. She was rescued from a high-kill shelter and is now ready for her forever home. In her foster setting, she demonstrates great potty habits and adapts well to crate life. Maggie edges towards quiet independence, but she also loves being with her foster family. Her energy is age-appropriate, keeping her active yet manageable. She’s not just a beauty with her black, apricot, and cream coloring but is also spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and microchipped. Maggie has some grooming needs, so we’re seeking an adopter with an established groomer. Who knows? She might become the perfect hiking partner or couch companion. What are you waiting for?
