Maggie – ID# 22053 – Kennel 317 – Arrived as a stray on August 25th, 2026 – Terrier mix – black and grey – Female – 10 years old – 14.6875 lbs – Due to her age, spaying would need to be arranged with your own vet if you choose to do so, as it isn't performed at the shelter – Up to date on vaccines – Heartworm negative

Maggie is a sweet, gentle soul with a scruffy black and grey coat and warm brown eyes. She came to the shelter as a stray on August 25th, 2026, and her good manners suggest she's spent time as someone's cherished companion before.

Maggie's behavior speaks for itself — she sits nicely when asked and walks beautifully on a leash, the kind of polished manners that come from patience and a loving hand. It's hard not to wonder about the home she once had, and even harder to accept that a girl this well-mannered ended up without one.

She does have some minor hair loss, possibly related to fleas, but a course of medicated baths and flea treatment should help her coat bounce back — her vet team will keep an eye on her progress and guide next steps.

At 10 years old, Maggie deserves a soft place to land after a lifetime of good behavior. Senior dogs like her are so often overlooked, but they bring a steadiness and gratitude that's hard to match. Maggie is ready to spend her golden years being someone's best friend again.
