About Maggie

Maggie is a delightful and friendly young girl, full of charm and playfulness. At about 8-10 months old, she weighs around 12 lbs and has a lovely medium coat that adds to her appeal. Maggie thrives on affection and enjoys spending time with her foster family but can entertain herself when necessary. She gets along wonderfully with other dogs, making her a great playmate for canine companions. This sweet girl was found as a stray and now enjoys the comforts of rescue. She's well on her way to becoming a fantastic walking and adventure buddy, thanks to her energetic spirit and great leash manners. Maggie is already potty trained in her foster home, does well in her gated area and in her crate, and behaves nicely during grooming and baths. Plus, she handles car rides like a champ, making trips to the vet a breeze. Maggie is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, dewormed, microchipped, and on flea and tick preventative. However, she will need routine grooming, so we're looking for an adopter with an established groomer. Don’t miss this wonderful opportunity to bring Maggie into your family!
