Margo

My story

ADOPT MARGO! Pittie/Boxer mix, 3 year old spayed female, 50 lbs, special sponsorship towards adoption fee! Housebroken & crate trained Adores people Fostered with other dogs Vetted, heartworm negative, vaccinated Likely great family dog, undergoing kid-testing This brindle beauty is a pittie/possible Boxer mix, around 3 years old, who is looking for that perfect home. Found stray, she was picked up by animal control clearly being overbred and then discarded after having her most recent litter. We recently had her spayed, and finally put an end to that sad cycle! The first few weeks in foster care Margo was uncomfortable with the dogs in her new home but after spending time decompressing she turned a corner & is discovering the joy of playtime with other dogs large & small! Affectionate as all get-out, she absolutely adores people - we're talking a complete lap dog. She loves hanging out in the yard with her foster parents sunning herself. She's not currently fostered with kids, however, her foster parents are about to start kid-testing. She is bouncy and happy so likely kids 8 & up would be best just due to her possibly knocking over little ones. Housebroken and well-mannered, she would likely do just fine hanging out at home while you're at work. Or, if you're home by day, she'd love to be your little shadow. She sleeps well throughout the night, and loves carrying around toys and bringing them to her favorite people. A fenced yard would be great. At 50 pounds, she is full grown, and fully vetted. She is spayed, heartworm negative and on heartworm/flea/tick prevention, has her rabies, distemper/parvo, & bordetella vaccines, and is microchipped. She is a beautiful chestnut brown and dark chocolate brindle color, with beautiful expressive eyes. She has special sponsorship from a generous donor to offer a reduced adoption fee of $200. This former mommy dog really is deserving of a home where she can finally be somebody's baby instead of having to take care of litters of them. Could that be you?
