Some good news about one of the four-legged (and three-legged) residents of Abington that have been looking for a home.
Maggie Mae (pictured above) has been adopted.
“Maggie Mae was adopted by a family who spent many weeks visiting her and she began to bond with them,” according to an update provided to Ms. Katie Nagy, Humane Educator at the Montgomery County SPCA. “She’s been in her new home for [more than]…2 weeks now.”
There are still several other Abington residents looking for a home:
