This week, Madzia Tysler donated her services to give new mom Maggie a spa day, complete with a luxurious bath and full groom haircut 🐾 Doodle Maggie just finished nursing, so our wonderful Groomer Maggie cleaned her up, gave her a trim, and helped get her ready for adoption! She and her sweet puppies will be available for adoption soon. Thank you for your generosity, Maggie!

We owe a big shout out to Maggie from Tails and Ales for making our own Maggie feel and look amazing! 🙌🐾

Maggie the doodle just finished nursing a litter of absolutely adorable puppies. As you can imagine, this girl needed a good spa day after officially being separated from her litter of messy furballs! She was quite scruffy and unkept. Fast forward to doodle Maggie's time with groomer Maggie, and she's a whole new dog. 😍 She's getting ready for adoption and should be available very, very soon. Her puppies will be available soon as well. Keep an eye on the website (catawbahumane.org) for those kiddos! 🐕

Maggie is about 50 pounds, housebroken, people and kid friendly, calm and loves a good couch/bed but still enjoys her walks, crate trained, and food motivated. She also gets along with other dogs without issue! Cats, on the other hand... she will be best without them in a home. 😅 If Maggie sounds like the one for you, stop by or fill out an application at catawbahumane.org to start the adoption process!

And thank you again to groomer Maggie at Tails and Ales for making her gorgeous again 😍 ❤️
