My story

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

Meet Margo!

Margo was brought in as a stray to Moreno Valley Animal Services, and when she was not claimed, she soon became at risk of being euthanized. We scooped her up to become a Frosted Face on January 17th. She is 8 years old, weighs 45 lbs., and is very sweet and gentle.

It's sadly evident that Margo has not had an easy life, and we are looking for a special family that is willing to provide the loving care she needs for her remaining years. Simple things bring her joy - she does an adorable little dance when you bring out her leash! - and Margo deserves every kindness and comfort.

Margo has weakness in her back legs that would make a home without stairs preferrable, unless she can be carried up and down. Hardwood floors can be slippery for her, but a path of rugs or mats are an make it possible for her to get around. Margo would love her future home to have a yard to walk around and explore.

Margo currently lives in a Foster home, for which we are very thankful. She is so much more comfortable in a home environment. Her Foster Mom shared this heartwarming update:

"Margo is doing amazing!! She had a few bumps in the road in the beginning but she is doing amazing now. She hasn't had any seizures at all, so thankfully, the meds she is on must be doing the trick. Margo is eating everything we offer, and she is slowly gaining weight.

This girl is so friendly with people! She is friends with our neighbors and put herself right in the middle of the family BBQ. In the mornings, Margo loves to do walk-bys for scratches and gives little head bumps as a reminder if I am distracted. While I have coffee, she walks around the coffee table and leans up against me as she passes. I didn't know she came with a self petting feature!

Margo and our dog are buddies. They follow each other around the house and will sleep on the same bed together.

We went for an early morning walk at Balboa Park before it got too hot, and Margo walked most of the way and only rode in her buggy towards the end. I listen for her to start dragging her toe nails, and that is when I know she is getting tired. She then goes in the buggy for a little rest, while still seeing different scenery.

When it is not so hot, Margo likes to do a ton of walking in the morning and evening in addition to her neighborhood walks. Margo walks around the house and around the yard, even after a walk. It seems like she is putting on a little muscle on her hips and legs, so I am thankful that she moves as much as she does.

Margo loves being home with her humans, and her dream is a quiet house with maybe one or two other mellow dogs. She would make a great addition to a home where the vibes are mellow and there are fluffy blanket beds all around."

Margo is thriving in her Foster home, but we would love for her to have a forever home. Might it be with you?
