Story
Hi, I’m Margot!
I am a true survivor—I made a life-saving journey from a Texas kill shelter all the way to Illinois, and despite facing heartworm, I’ve bounced back stronger than ever! Now, I’m on the hunt for my forever family, and trust me, you’ll want to be part of my next chapter.
Why You’ll Love Me:
I’m the ultimate mix of playful, mellow, laidback, and affectionate. Whether it’s morning zoomies in the yard or snuggling up on the couch, I bring love and joy into every moment. The second you walk through the door, I’ll be there to greet you like you’re the most important person in the world—because to me, you are!
My Favorite Things:
*Chew toys (a must-have for my entertainment!)
*Food/snacks (yours and mine—I’m not picky!)
*Close cuddles/snuggles (the closer, the better!)
*Head & ear scratches (I’ll melt into your hand and snooze)
*Zoomies in the backyard (A house with a fenced in backyard would be a huge plus for me!)
*Cozy couch naps (I’m an expert at this one)
*Being around my people (your attention is my favorite thing)
My Social Side:
*People & kids: I currently live with three adults and two small children, and I love them all, including the little ones. I just ask for them to be gentle and respect my personal space.
*Dogs/Cats: I’ve lived with two big dogs (male and female) and did great! I wouldn’t mind a sibling, but I do best with slow introductions. I have not been in contact with any cats but may do better without.
My House Manners:
*Potty trained (as long as I get regular potty breaks!)
*Crate training (not my favorite, but a nudge & treats help!)
*Leash skills (I walk well and don’t tend to pull—though my favorite part of the walk is coming home!)
*Barking habits (I’ll sound the alarm if I see someone outside, but otherwise, I’m a quiet girl.)
*Commands: I’m working on “sit,” “drop it,” and “off” and picking things up quickly (especially when treats are involved!)
If you’re looking for a best friend who will brighten your days, make you smile with her playful spirit, and melt into your arms for the sweetest snuggles, then I might be the perfect match for you. I’ll be your most loyal companion, your happiest welcome home, and your coziest cuddle buddy. I can’t wait to meet you and fill your life with love!
