Maggie's Info...

Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less Sex: Female ID#: 54214
Maggie's Story...

This is sweet Maggie.  She had been seen on a 50 mile an hour road 4 different times and one day her foster mom was finally able to catch her.  She was stinky and had a bad case of fleas and was brown instead of white.  Her foster mom took her in as a very scared little dog, and living in the home and being clean and healthy Maggie has evolved into the sweetest and most appreciative dog ever.

She is just soaking up all the love and attention.  She really loves to cuddle and sleep on the couch next to you during the day.  At night she sleeps in her bed on the floor next to her foster mom.  Maggie doesn't bark or cry.  She wined once on her first night and I told her "no" and I never heard another peep out of her.  She seems to be a very happy little girl and full of life.  She would love to be someone's best friend and go with you where ever you go.

She weighs 19 lbs, and we believe she may be a pure breed Shih Tzu, even though she is a little bigger than normal.  She is about 2 to 3 years old.

She will be getting spayed next week and will be ready for adoption on Valentine's day.  

For more information on Maggie, please call her foster mom Lorrie at 360-894-4581, or e-mail her at lorrie.wittig@gmail.com

Rescue Group Info...

About Our Rescue Group...
Second Chance Dogs was founded by a group of 3 determined women who, for years, independently helped "in need" dogs transform their current situations. In July, 2009, they joined forces and started Second Chance Dogs, a non-profit organization in an effort to help more dogs in more ways. Each member brings to the organization their own special gift, and when combined, allows Second Chance Dogs to offer a variety of services to help rehabilitate and find loving homes from these dogs.

Why Adoption is a Great Option

Maggie, a Roy Shih Tzu dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Shih Tzu for sale in Roy, or seeking a Shih Tzu dog from a breeder in Roy.

  1. Rescues and shelter volunteers in Roy already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
  2. On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Roy breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
  3. You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Shih Tzu breeders who help with Shih Tzu rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Roy paves the way for another one to be saved.
