Pet Of The Week – Maggie

Please meet Maggie! Maggie is an absolutely darling Beagle mix who is only 5 years old.  Before coming to Green Hills Animal Shelter, Maggie had a home of her own where she was very, very loved. Sadly, Maggie’s owner recently passed away, and with no one to care for her, Maggie was surrendered to the shelter.

Despite losing her person and her home, Maggie quickly charmed shelter staff and volunteers with her sweet, affectionate personality. When you first meet Maggie she may seem a little shy, but that’s only because her whole world was recently turned upside down; once Maggie gets to know you she is affectionate, friendly, and very loving. Maggie is very laid back and she gets along well with both adults and children. She does well with cats and enjoys being around other dogs, seeming to find comfort in the companionship of her fur friends.

If Maggie could describe her perfect Forever Home, she would ask for a home where she could be an indoor dog with a family who would shower her with love. She would very much enjoy going on long, leashed walks and then coming home and curling up on the couch with her family. Maggie would be happy in a home with children and she would also be quite content to share her home with a cat or dog that she could be friends with. (Since Maggie has the gift of a Beagle’s nose, she will need a securely fenced yard so that she doesn’t accidentally let her nose take her on any grand adventures without her family along for the fun.)

Maggie will go to her Forever Home spayed, dewormed, heartworm tested, and up to date on all vaccinations including rabies. She is a sweet girl who wants nothing more than to be back in a home all her own; could you make her wish come true?

For more information on Maggie, or any of the pets waiting for their homes at Green Hills Animal Shelter, please phone the shelter at 660-359-2700 or stop by during open business hours.  Maggie and her fur-friends will be waiting to meet you!
