PLEASE READ COMPLETE BIO TO BE SURE YOU HAVE ALL INFORMATION & NEXT STEPS.

MARGIE  is spayed, rabies, core vaccines, de-wormed, heartworm & tick-disease tested Negative and micro-chipped, she weighs around 82.50 pounds and has an estimated date of birth of 15 June 2010.

Although MARGIE weighs a good weight of around 82 pounds, she still could gain a good amount of pounds. It is clear this poor gently lady has been neglected and abused. She has hair-loss on her back, thinning hair everywhere else, bad flea/fly bits all over the tips of her ears and scabs over her body. She is getting fed raw honey, coconut oil, colostrum powder, raw eggs, vitamin c tablets and fish oil to help her on her recovery.

When she arrived at rescue, we had our sponsors groomer to give her a bath and she absolutely loved it, groaning with pleasure when her ears were being cleaned out and after her medicated bath, the way she carried herself was much better. Who knows if this poor girl has ever had a bath in her life.

MARGIE is great with other dogs and when we first brought her to the rescue, she couldn't wait to get amongst them. She is happy lying around in the sun, no doubt de-compressing from the horrendous life that she has now left behind. She keeps herself to herself and is not interested in playing, that doesn't mean to say as she continues to feel better and gain weight she might start feeling youthful again.

MARGIE walks ok on the leash, she likes to plod along and is happy on our pack walk around the back-play-area to walk close by. 

MARGIE would like a family that has the financial commitment to be able to take her for comprehensive annual vet checks, and be able to give her anything that she might need as she gets older. She would like a nice comfy home where she can relax with her humans and enjoy her senior years sharing in the love and comfort that this poor girl deserves.

We do not have cats at the rescue, but I do not imagine her being interested at all, but that would be something to watch as she starts to feel better and her body revitalizes.

MARGIE is going to need a wonderfully special family who can give this precious girl a wonderful life, it will not take long for her hair to grow back and gain the weight she needs and she will be the true beauty on the outside that she is on the inside.

MARGIE is available for adoption through Give a Dog a Home, German Shepherd Dog Rescue for an adoption fee of $450. This fee is not negotiable and is used to cover the rescue costs of pulling, vetting, health certificate, transport from Texas to Maine, monthly preventatives, supplements, food and anything else that is needed.

We post in various states along the east coast and Canada where we have had lots of successful adoptions to enable more exposure for these beautiful saved souls. Families will need to be prepared to travel to the rescue to meet and take home their new best friend. There is a local hotel in Dover-Foxcroft that is pet-friendly (approx 6 miles) and several in Bangor (approx 45 miles). There are also lots of wonderful camp-sites for the more adventurous families and what a great way to get to know your new best friend.
