My story

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

Maggie is an American Field Bred (English) Pointer-- not a German Shorthaired Pointer mix. I only added GSP to get her more exposure for potential adopters. Pointers are a little different than their GSP cousins in many ways-- but as far as Maggie is concerned, we are looking for a loving pet home where she can snuggle on the couch with her new family.

August 2025: I was contacted about 2 Pointers that were in need of help in the Benton, Illinois area. I was told they were saved from being killed by a hunting preserve. The whole story is rather vague and I heard there were actually 4 dogs. Maggie is a sweet, affectionate Pointer about 5-7 years old. She's been bred A LOT, and is a typically loving dog with people. She came to us with a lot of bit wounds but she is healing well. While her first tick panel was negative, Maggie was anemic and that is a symptom of possible Lyme disease. Thankfully our vet supports treating her just in case titers for infection just haven't shown up. Maggie needs a home with at least a 5 foot fenced in yard. We have no idea about her hunting skills so we are only looking for a pet home at this time. We are hopeful to find a new loving home for Maggie soon- she certainly deserves it!!
