UPDATE: It looks like Margo was rescued from euthanasia by a local rescue, but we are not sure which one. I think I found the rescue and the person who agreed to foster her, and just waiting to hear back from them. Lemmy’s own [@CreativeShotgun@lemmy.world](https://lemmy.world/u/CreativeShotgun) wants to adopt Margo - and I will keep you all posted on the resolution

ABOUT MARGO:

Margo is a 1-year-6-month-old Chihuahua mix who is extremely stressed in the shelter. She is fearful, snapping at the leash, and showing defensive behaviors, but she is not aggressive. With a quiet, patient, rescue or foster home, she can decompress, gain confidence, and thrive.

IMPORTANT NOTES

Dogs like Margo are at high risk in the shelter due to stress and fear-based behavior. She needs a calm, experienced foster or rescue to step in immediately for safety and socialization.

Margo does not deserve to die in the shelter for being scared. She needs ONE RESCUE OR FOSTER TO STEP UP to save her life.
