There is a pet overpopulation problem here in East Texas. Shelters in our area seem to consistently be near capacity with a lot of dogs and cats that are simply looking for a family to call their own. This week's pet of the week is no different.

Maggie is just over a year old. She is a terrier mix and has a beautiful butterscotch-golden-white coat and stunning golden eyes. Being just a year old, Maggie is full of energy.

Pets Fur People's executive director Gayle Helms describes Maggie as being kind with a gentle personality. She loves human companionship, cuddling, and exercising by going on walks and running and playing. Maggie is somewhat of a one-owner dog because she's not too fond of other dogs or even livestock.

Sweet Maggie is fully vetted and will go home with a starter kit of food, a big fluffy dog bed, a collar, and a leash.

For additional information on adopting Maggie call 903.597.2471 or check the Humane Society’s Pets Fur People website. Pets Fur People requires a completed adoption application before arranging a meet and greet. Check out the animals that are available for adoption.
