Grand Slam Maggie - Flat Coated Retriever and Black Labrador Retriever Dog for Adoption in New Orleans, Louisiana

Meet Grand Slam Maggie! A Little Fluff Ball With a Major-League Heart!
Batter up! The Sandlot Kids have another all-star ready to steal the show, and this time, it's a little girl with a whole lot of charm!
Introducing Grand Slam Maggie, one of eight precious puppies in Take Paws Rescue's Sandlot Kids litter, inspired by the beloved movie The Sandlot! Born on August 28, 2026, Maggie and her seven siblings had a "ruff" start when their mama, Ruthie, delivered them under a trailer. But these little rookies are getting their chance to shine, and Maggie is already a home-run hit!
This adorable girl is a little black fluff ball with the sweetest white markings on her chin and chest. She looks like a tiny teddy bear dressed for the big game, and we dare you to look at that fluffy little face without falling head over heels!
Maggie's personality is just as lovable as her looks. She's friendly, affectionate, and always ready to make a new friend. Whether she's enjoying some attention, soaking up affection, or simply being her irresistibly adorable self, Maggie has a way of making everyone around her smile.
She's still a little puppy with a whole world to discover, and she's looking for a family who will help her learn the ropes, cheer her on as she grows, and remind her every day just how loved she is. From puppy playtime to cozy couch cuddles, Maggie is ready for all the wonderful things her future holds!
Her beginning may have been less than ideal, but this little girl deserves a life filled with love, safety, and all the belly rubs her heart desires. And with a name like Grand Slam Maggie, we have a feeling she's going to be a real winner!
Ready to make Maggie your MVP? Step up to the plate and let this little fluff ball hit a grand slam right into your heart!

Maggie will be vaccinated, microchipped and spayed, all covered by her adoption fee.
