🐾💗 **MEET MAGNOLIA, AKA MAGGIE! YOUR NEXT ADVENTURE BUDDY!** 💗🐾Looking for a dog with energy, curiosity, and a whole lot of love to give? Meet **Magnolia, affectionately known as Maggie!** 🌸🐶At just **1 year and 6 months old**, this German Shepherd/Pit Bull mix is still figuring out the world around her. She's energetic, curious, and sometimes a little timid, but underneath that uncertainty is a girl who absolutely LOVES hugs! 🥹❤️🌸 **A LITTLE ABOUT MAGGIE:**🐶 1 year and 6 months old🐾 German Shepherd/Pit Bull mix⚡ Energetic and curious💕 Loves hugs and affection🥹 Still a little timid as she gains confidence🛏️ Sleeps in a crate🚗 May whine during car rides🗑️ Has a talent for investigating trash cans! 😂Maggie is at that fun age where everything is interesting, every new smell deserves investigation, and the world is one big adventure waiting to happen! 🌎🐾She's still building her confidence, so she'll benefit from a patient, loving family willing to help her feel safe and secure as she continues to grow. Give her time to settle in, encouragement to explore, and plenty of those hugs she loves so much, and you may just become her favorite person! 💗Maggie is carrying a little extra weight, too, so a healthy diet, regular exercise, and fun activities will help her work toward a healthier shape. Think walks, playtime, sniffing adventures, and bonding with her new family! 🐕‍🦺💕🍗 **A NOTE ABOUT HER DIET:** Maggie may have a sensitivity or allergy to chicken, so her adopters should be mindful of her food and treats.
