Maggie ♥

Maggie is a 3-4 year old boxer/staffie mix just waiting for her big break in life! This sweetheart was seized by animal cruelty agents due to unsanitary conditions. She waited at the shelter for 4 months until the case was resolved and she could go up for adoption.


Unfortunately, the problems didn’t stop there. At the shelter, Maggie developed a skin condition – a bad rash on her belly and her feet became so raw, sore, swollen and bloody that she couldn’t even walk!

It was originally thought her skin issues were due to severe allergies to the kennel disinfectant; the shelter sent out a plea and we responded. As soon as we met Maggie we loaded her in the car and were on our way – WHAT A SWEETHEART! She is an amazing, friendly, sweet doll of a dog.


In combination with the allergic reaction to the disinfectant, our vet determined Maggie also has demodex mange on her feet. She is now on treatment for both and is well on her way to recovery.

This angel is currently staying at our veterinary hospital and is looking for a warm foster or forever home for recovery. After all this, she deserves to be pampered! She is both dog and cat friendly and is a very easygoing girl.
