Story
Meet Margie — your loyal little lamb
Margie is a 9-year-old wire-haired Dachshund with a heart as soft as her now-lush coat. Her ideal weight is 13 pounds (she’s currently 15 pounds), and she happily enjoys walks that help keep her feeling her best.
Margie is perfectly content being crated when you’re away, but when you’re home, she wants to be right by your side—and yes, that means sleeping next to you. She’s a true companion dog who thrives on closeness and routine.
When Margie arrived, she was in rough shape, suffering from severe flea allergy dermatitis. Most of her fur was gone, her skin was sore and infected, and her ears were badly infected as well. Despite all of that, she remained incredibly sweet, gentle, and cooperative, even for medications and medicated baths. Today, her coat is full and beautiful, her ears are healthy, and she’s feeling so much better.
She’s a quiet girl (not barky), does well in the car, and would be fine with kids. With other dogs, she’s generally okay with dogs her size or smaller, though she can get a bit jealous if another dog tries to steal her lap, and she may politely (or not so politely) tell others to scram from her food bowl. She’s not a big fan of large dogs. With cats, she may chase if they run, but otherwise coexists just fine.
Margie is truly a doll—a devoted, affectionate little soul who has come so far and is ready to be someone’s constant companion. If you’re looking for a snuggly, loyal best friend who will keep you company through everything, Margie is your girl.
