About Margo

Meet Margo! This charming Chihuahua mix has big ears and kind eyes, and her smile is becoming more frequent as she blossoms in her new environment. Margo is around 3 years old and weighs 18 pounds. She was found as a stray, which made her understandably nervous when she first arrived at Sam’s Place. Margo came in with some irritated skin and itchy ears, but after a special spa day, she's feeling much better. It's heartwarming to see her relax and let her personality shine through. That once-timid smile? It’s now a regular sight! Margo loves being around people and can easily envision herself nestled next to her human on the couch. She needs a family prepared to give her time to adapt and grow. We're still learning how she interacts with other dogs and will assess her behavior with cats soon. Her future family is in for a treat as they discover the sweet girl we’ve come to know! Click apply to start the adoption process.
