My story

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

Meet Margo — The Soft Butch of Your Dreams
Joined: May 28, 2025
Age: 2.5 years
Breed: American Staffordshire Terrier
Status: Thicc, silly, and ready to snuggle

About Me:
Hi ladies. I’m Margo — your future copilot in the Subaru Outback of life.
I’m a laid-back, goofy girl who lives for slow mornings, flannel weather,
and rolling in the grass like it’s my job. I’m part couch potato, part
comedian, and 100% sweetheart. I adore women and kids, and I’m looking
for a calm, loving home with patient humans who understand that I’m not
into men — at all. (No hard feelings, guys — it’s just not my vibe.) Around
here it’s queens only, no kings.

My Interests:
Camping trips with cozy campfires
Subaru rides with the windows down
Watching women’s sports (or at least pretending to)
Long naps and snack breaks
Rolling in fresh grass after a good stretch

Dealbreakers:
No Men. Sorry fellas.
Cats are fine — I’ve got a low prey drive.

Looking For:
A couple of outdoorsy gals or a single woman with great taste in flannel
and snacks. If you’re the type who brings homemade granola to the dog park,
we’ll get along just fine.
Let’s make our next road trip one for the books — just you, me, and our
perfectly packed Subaru.
