Weighing only 45 lbs, Margaret is packed with nothing but pure love. A true companion, she is happiest snuggled up beside you, following you around like your own personal assistant. Never meeting a stranger, this happy, unflappable girl would be a fantastic adventure buddy, handling crowded public settings with ease. Potty-trained and a quick learner, she just wants to make you happy however she can. This lovely lady is ready to steal your shoes AND your heart. (Don’t worry, she’ll at least return the shoes!) -Happy, affectionate, responsive, petite sweetheart -Potty-trained -Best as a single dog where she can get all of your love, but also would be suited for a dog companion who has a calm, unbothered, more submissive type personality.
