About Margo

Margo Pittie/Boxer mix 3 year old 50 pound, spayed female, special sponsorship towards adoption fee! This brindle beauty is a pittie/possible Boxer mix, around 3 years old, who is looking for that perfect home. Found stray, she was picked up by animal control clearly being overbred and then discarded after having her most recent litter. We recently had her spayed, and finally put an end to that sad cycle! Although she tested well with large dogs at animal control, in foster care she has was initially uncomfortable with the resident dogs. It may have been because they are smaller than her, or perhaps she'd just prefer to not share her space. Given her past, can you blame her? Accordingly her foster parents are thinking that the perfect, most stress free fit would be a home without other dogs where she can be the only princess and feel safe or with a family who are experienced with slow (multi-day) introductions Affectionate as all get-out, she absolutely adores people - we're talking a complete lap dog. She loves hanging out in the yard with her foster parents sunning herself. She's not currently fostered with kids, however, her foster parents are about to start kid-testing. She is bouncy and happy so likely kids 8 & up would be best just due to her possibly knocking over little ones. Housebroken and well-mannered, she would likely do just fine hanging out at home while you're at work. Or, if you're home by day, she'd love to be your little shadow. She sleeps well throughout the night, and loves carrying around toys and bringing them to her favorite people. A fenced yard would be great. At 60 pounds, she is full grown, and fully vetted. She is spayed, heartworm negative and on heartworm/flea/tick prevention, has her rabies, distemper/parvo, & bordetella vaccines, and is microchipped. She is a beautiful chestnut brown and dark chocolate brindle color, with beautiful expressive eyes. She has special sponsorship from a generous donor to offer a reduced adoption fee of $200. This former mommy dog really is deserving of a home where she can finally be somebody's baby instead of having to take care of litters of them. Could that be you?
