Magnolia Shorty needs a foster home!
Magnolia Shorty just joined rescue. She was living under an abandoned house in the 8th Ward with her 6 adorable puppies. She appears to have been abandoned recently, as she is definitely not feral -- she's a lover who is very sweet and affectionate with people. She is great with other dogs, too, but wants to chase cats. Shorty is a real lover and a medium-sized girl at only 45lbs. She is young, but is heartworm positive. She will be treated for that soon and then will be totally healthy.
