Story
We are looking for a home for Maggie Mae… she’s a red and white husky, 1-2 years old, current on all vaccinations, flea & tick, & heart worm. She is currently being treated for Lyme disease. She microchipped and her lifetime registration for microchipping is paid for. She also has QR code tags. She is also spayed. She has had many homes in her short life and we suspect she’s experienced abuse. She was been in a car accident that led to her beautiful tail being amputated. She’s sweet and loves people. She will do best in a home where she is the only animal and the yard is fenced. Please slack me directly if you know anyone who might be interested. Need to find her a home asap! She's currently located near Hagerstown, MD.
