My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION AND REQUIREMENTS FOR ADOPTION.. MARGARITA is currently in foster care in Houston, Texas and the adoption fee includes her transportation with Mighty Mutt Shipping
if interested there is an application on our website
https:/www.houstonshaggydogrescue.org/apply/


This is MARGARITA
She is approx 5 years and 65 lbs - she needs a diet!

she was thrown away in a field with just a few bushes for shelter and found by a lady that contacted us to rescue her, she looks like a mini lab mix, she is full of personality, she does like to run and play with her rescue buddies and loves people,

however , she does not like to share her food with the other dogs, not people, and will growl at any of them that go near when she is eating or has a treat, so we feed her apart from the others, she loves to chase squirrels and ill sit in the yard for ages waiting for one to appear... she would be great for someone that likes to hike or jog, as she loves to eat and could do to lose a few lbs.. she does need a fully fenced in and secure yard, she seems to be well house trained and does well on a leash

she tested positive for heart worms when we took her in and has been treated with the recommended heart worm treatment by the American Heartworm Society, we find that the dogs usually test negative in 4-6 months after treatment,
