Meet Maggie & Jax – A Sweet Senior Duo Looking for Their Forever
Maggie and Jax are a devoted, bonded pair with a story that tugs at the heart. These two were found as strays, huddled together under a picnic table at a remote campground in northern Missouri. Luckily, a kind-hearted couple who are full-time RVers noticed them while passing through. They took Maggie and Jax in, bathed them, treated them for fleas, kept them warm, and gave them the love and safety they so desperately needed. While searching for help, they found our rescue—where Maggie and Jax could receive proper care and, most importantly, a chance at a forever home.
Our veterinarian estimates Maggie to be about 9 years old and Jax about 10 years old. Both have since been spayed/neutered, microchipped, and are fully up to date on vaccinations. Due to neglect in their earlier years, each has only a few teeth left—but don’t let that fool you! These two are enthusiastic eaters and have absolutely no trouble enjoying their meals.
Jax appears to be mostly Chihuahua, while tiny Maggie (just 9 pounds) likely has some Yorkie in her lineage. They currently live peacefully with their seven dachshund foster siblings and get along wonderfully. They are housebroken with regular potty breaks, have learned to use a doggy door, and will also use potty pads when needed. Maggie and Jax sleep comfortably in their crate overnight and do well crated for short periods when their foster parents are away.
These two must be adopted together—they are truly inseparable. Jax takes his role as Maggie’s loyal protector very seriously, and the bond they share is both touching and unmistakable.
Maggie and Jax are being fostered near St. Clair, MO. Their adoption fee is $300 for the pair.
If you’re looking for a gentle, loving senior duo who will bring warmth, gratitude, and companionship into your life, Maggie and Jax may be the perfect match.
Please submit your application to give these deserving sweethearts the forever home they’ve been waiting for. ❤️

Additional adoption info
We want to make this easy and we want to be sure that the dog you are interested in is a fit for you. Finding a dog or pup that works with your schedule and lifestyle is key to our placement. The questions on the application help us know if the dog you choose will do well in your home. Number of hours your dog is home alone, fenced yard, exercise plan, other family members – pets included; those are important things we want to discuss with you and your chosen canine. We do require a vet reference.
The application is on our website: Istodaymydayrescue.org. Complete and send. You can expect a reply within 24-48 hours. As all of our dogs are in foster care, we will then contact the foster home and arrange a meeting. The foster home might want to do a home visit or you might meet at a convenient location. If it is a good fit, some adoptions can be completed at that time of the meeting.
All of our dogs are spayed or neutered prior to adoption. All of our dogs are micro chipped, wormed, heartworm tested if over 6 months, on heartworm preventative, treated for fleas, and have age appropriate vaccines. Pups under 16 weeks require ongoing vaccines every 2 to 3 weeks.

More about this rescue
“Is today my day?” That is what every shelter dog asks. “Is today the day that I find a home, get a family, discover that I am a best friend”? We want to tell those dogs: “Yes, it is!”
We are a foster based rescue who aims to serve south central Missouri, an area with a low human population and a high canine population. Our mission is to help dogs from this area find homes in the St. Louis area through adoptions and transfers. After covering spay/neuter costs, 20% of each adoption fee goes to our emergency medical fund so we can help canine accident victims, pay for emergency C-sections, and other health needs. The remainder of the adoption fee goes to the dogs.
We are foster based and do not have a facility. Moms and pups are our focus, but we will help any dog we can. We are only able to accept a dog when a foster home is available. All dogs and pups are current on vaccines, micro-chipped, heartworm tested, wormed, and treated for fleas and ticks. All dogs over 12 weeks have been altered; if too young for this procedure, a spay/neuter reimbursement is provided when the procedure is done.
