Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Maggie had a hard life before she came into foster care. She was an outside dog in the heat of New Orleans. She was dumped at a kill shelter and tested heart worm positive. My vet says she is about 5 years of age. Maggie was skin and bones when we got her but has now put on a few pounds. She is totally in love with her dog food and would eat until she was waddling if allowed to free feed. She is not food aggressive at all but worried she will not see her next meal. Maggie runs to the kitchen when it is meal time and stares up at the food container, when it is time she starts dancing and barking as if to say "it's here again". She is a really sweet little girl and just wants to be loved. When her heart-worms are better under control she will need a dental,which will be taken care of before she is adopted. She has a murmur because of the heart worms but is tolerating the treatment well. She is great with the 4 yr old granddaughter here and seems to like everyone. Maggie’s adoption fee is $225, and heer foster home is in Sicklerville, NJ. For more information about her, please call Julie at 609-868-0875 or email jeire@comcast.net .
