My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Marge the magnificent loves hugs and kisses and tries her very best to make you happy. How could you not love a baby with a smile as wide as her sweet face? Marge looks you straight in the eye and searches your face to see exactly how she can make you happy. She is working on sitting, staying, and lying down. Marge is so smart!

Marge and her sister, Lisa, were abandoned on the side of the road with her sister Lisa. The temperatures were in the high 90's and these girls had neither food nor water!

Someone just left them on the side of the road to die a harsh death. We tried our darndest to ignore their plight but when I drove by a second time and saw how terrified and hungry they were, we had to help. We brought them food and water in buckets and prayed they would be friendly (since I had heard all the stories about pit bulls). I admit they were leery of us too but as soon as they had a few bites they became our best buddies. Marge was so thin, and something had caused some serious cuts and abrasions, but she has never even paused in her outpouring of love and gratitude. What a precious girl.

Marge is especially intelligent and gentle and loves nothing more than sitting beside you, knowing you are near.

Marge loves kisses and belly rubs, running wide open, and treats. She will make a devoted fur baby to a family that does not have cats or chickens. I do not know about other dogs, but it would be better to err on the cautious side.

Available dogs are met by pre-approved adopters ONLY after a match is made.
