Meet MARGO!

MARGO was saved from a high-kill shelter in Texas and arrived at Give a Dog a Home Rescue in Sebec, Maine on Friday, February 14th, 2025. We post our available dogs across the East Coast and Canada to reach as many people as possible in hopes of finding them the perfect homes and families. We do not transport dogs—families must come to the rescue in Sebec, Maine, to meet and, hopefully, take their new companion home.

MARGO’s Personality

MARGO is a joyful, affectionate, and energetic girl who absolutely loves people and is great with kids. She's friendly, smart, and eager to please — a wonderful companion for an active family.
Very good with kids
Friendly and social with people and other dogs
High energy, jumpy, playful, and eager to engage
Seems to be house trained
Knows “sit” and “shake”
Rides great in the car — alone or with another dog
‍♀️ Loves swimming — hops into deep sections and swims confidently
Loves playing with the hose — jumps and chases the water stream
Follows her foster dad around and is very human-focused
Lives with a 9-year-old shepherd mix foster brother (Wallie) and is very respectful of his space
Gives kisses as she walks past Wallie, and leaves him alone when he doesn't want to play
Listens well when told “no”
Handled a bath well at a self-wash grooming station
Broke out of a crate once but did no damage and settled once free
MARGO was originally adopted from a Texas shelter as a young pup in June 2023, but sadly ended up back in the same high-kill shelter in December 2024. Despite this, she remained sweet and trusting. She was selected to participate in the shelter’s Doggy Day Out Program due to her excellent behavior, further proving her wonderful temperament.
