My name is Margie, and I am 8 years old and weigh 20 pounds. I need a new home because my previous owner could no longer care for me. I am being fostered in Ames, Iowa.<br/><br/> My foster family says I have the sweetest soul. I'm a patient, gentle girl who is just discovering how fun life can be. I'm learning that toys can be exciting and treats are actually pretty delicious! Every day brings something new, and I'm becoming a little more curious and confident.<br/><br/>A long time ago, I lost one of my eyes because of an infection, but don't worry—I don't let that slow me down one bit! I still love exploring my surroundings and keeping up with everyone. I especially love following my foster parent wherever they go because I just like being close to my people.<br/><br/>I absolutely love snuggling into a big, comfy bed, soaking up the sunshine, and curling up with my foster brother for a nap or a little playtime. I get along well with other dogs and don't mind cats at all.
