Description:
Um…hi…..I am…..Maggie….
I was brought to Apollo after I was being surrendered to a shelter near the Rio Grande to be euthanized. A Good Samaritan stepped in to save me and asked for Apollo Support & Rescue’s help.  Apollo took me to the vet and they found out that I was shot multiple times with a shotgun. I have recovered pretty well, but I do have permanent nerve damage in my back end which causes incontinence of the bladder and bowels ( I want to hold my pee and poop but my body just doesnt let me). I am a very sweet girl, who is super dog friendly, playful, but also gentle. I get along with cats, only because they scare me. I am a volunteer favorite at the rescue and I often requests tummy rubs! Right now, I am in a foster home with seven other dogs and three cats.  It’s crazy here!!  It is a little much for me, I am shy, submissive and I prefer you to give me all your attention.  I am not able to go on long walks, my hips start hurting and it looks like I am doing the pee-pee dance.  I tend to hold a leg up to release the pressure of my legs, but I am very loving, timid, and I am scared you are going to be angry with me.  I almost lost my life twice and I just want a loving home to call my own. Hit me up! She was born in March 2021 and is located in a foster home.
