Here's what the humans have to say about me:
MARGO –SWEETIE
Oh how we love Margo! That is what we named her when she came into our rescue and gave birth 3 days later to 12 beautiful snuggly pups! She was a wonderful mom. She was surrendered to a local kill shelter because her home would not keep her and some of her other fur siblings in the yard. Animal Control forced her to give them up. We found out later that she was a house dog, potty trained and went by the name Sweetie! Believe it or not the first day I call out “Sweetie” those ears perked up and she came running lol………so I have reverted back to Sweetie but all her medical records are in the name of Margo. She was treated for heartworms and is now clear and super healthy. She is current on all her vaccines, rabies, spay and has been given ProHeart 12 which is a Heartworm prevention shot. She is a Terrier mix and is very social. She loves to walk, hike and play with other dogs. She lives openly with 6 other dogs of varied breed and we have zero issues. She is not food aggressive or toy aggressive. She is fine with children but does not like cats at all. She is good with smaller dogs as well as she has lived with several litters of puppies in her kennel play area. They love her as well…….they will run up to her and nip her back leg then throw themselves at her feet for play. It is the sweetest thing. Margo-Sweeties is 5.5 years old approximately and weighs around 53 lbs. She is darling and so beautiful. We always get so many compliments on her beauty and cute little nose when we go places. If you would like more info about Margo-Sweetie just let me know.

Adoption details:
In some instances, a meet and greet is not possible before adoption unless we have a foster home in New England available. Available for a Meeting confirms the dog is in a NE Foster home and available for a meeting in the city state provided. Most times our dogs get adopted before a foster home becomes available - and if so, they go straight to adopters home. Foster parents talk to adopters and feel confident that this will be a match before our dogs are transported up. Also if by some chance it is not a match we have a safety net in place as we ask that adopters to let us know that it is not a match and we direct you to take the dog to a foster home or boarding kennel once that is arranged. If necessary, we will ask you to foster the dog until a foster home can be arranged.
Transport details:Rescue Road Trips (rescueroadtrips.com), Pets LLC (petsllc.net) or CAFA Transport will deliver our precious pups on commercial rescue animal transport to designated locations. The fee is 225.00 which IS INCLUDED in your adoption fee already.**Rescue Road Trips, was featured on The Today Show - view it at http://www.today.com/video/today/55034556#55034556
