My story

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

Meet Margaret! 🐾❤️
Margaret is an 8-year-old German Shepherd mix with a heart as strong as her spirit. When she was found abandoned and alone — skinny, tired, and clearly having weathered some tough times — it was obvious she hadn’t been given the care she deserved. But despite everything she’s been through, Margaret’s light still shines bright.
She is incredibly sweet, affectionate, and full of life. Margaret hasn’t let her past dim her joy — she still loves to play, especially a good game of fetch! Watching her chase after a ball with her tail wagging and a big, happy grin is a reminder of how resilient and hopeful dogs can be.
Margaret is looking for a forever home where she’ll finally get the love, comfort, and security she’s always deserved. She’s ready to trade her difficult past for cozy naps, gentle pets, and endless games of fetch in the yard.
This special girl has waited long enough — could you be the one to show Margaret what it means to be truly home? 🏡💛
