This dog has been spayed/neutered, is up to date on shots, on heartworm preventative and is microchipped.

Sweet Maggie Simp is pure sunshine wrapped in a sleek black coat — a joyful, spirited little girl who runs and plays with her whole heart. She practically glows with affection, kissing any lucky face that gets close. Highly expressive and wonderfully affectionate, Maggie bounds across the yard with her tongue out and then melts into your arms the moment you scoop her up. Maggie has a bright, curious mind and loves exploring, meeting new people, and turning everyday moments into little adventures. Indoors, she’s cuddly and charming; outdoors, she’s a spry, athletic pup who moves around like she’s discovering the world for the very first time. She’s calm in the car, clean/quiet in her crate, and already working on housetraining and leash skills.

Maggie and her brother Homer came from a rural property where the two puppies had been abandoned. Despite that rough start, both pups have shown nothing but confidence, resilience, and a natural trust in people. They’ve been raised in a typical foster home with adults, kids, and other dogs, giving them a strong foundation in social skills and daily routine. As young puppies, they’ll need a family ready to guide them through the basics — housetraining, crate time, leash walking, and manners — but they have the temperament, intelligence, and eagerness that will make training them a joy. Come say hello to the Simps!

An adoption donation is required for each adoption; please see HERE for more information about this.

We get to know each of our dogs as an individual and do our best to describe and place them based on personality not breed label. Some dogs may not yet be in New England, nor ready for immediate adoption. There may be additional vetting, quarantine, waiting periods and/or fees depending upon your state of residence. If you have questions or concerns on any of this, you can discuss this with your Adoption Counselor.
