My story

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

Meet Marvelous Miss MARGO!

Margo is a sweet girl who loves to explore the world. She did great on the trails with me today, getting in ALL the good sniffs! She is moderate to high energy, and would definitely do better with a home that has an either a fenced in backyard or a family that is willing to take her on daily walks. I can see her being a great couch potato when she gets her physical activity and exercise for the day. Margo didn't bark or whine one single time we were together, and rides great in the car (jumps right in!). We passed several dogs on the trail and she did not react negatively by pulling or running, giving me the suspicion that she may be a good candidate to pair with another dog in her new home. She already knows "sit and is treat motivated, which is going to make training her much easier. Margo just needs a consistent person to help her learn new tricks!

Margo is a REALLY great dog, and has been waiting WAY too long for her forever family to come find her.
