History: Marge is a super beautiful girl who was recently welcomed to rescue and will warm your heart. She is working on her trust and confidence and is hoping to find a patient family of her very own soon!

A Note from the Foster: Marge has made steady progress over the last 5 months! I think the biggest thing her forever home will need to know is that she will make progress over months and not days. But other than the fact that she doesn't like being touched, she is a sassy girl who loves life and romping around the backyard - even in the snow! She like to be on neighborhood watch and bark at the neighborhood dogs and her favorite snack is a fried egg. She'll throw her head and bark at me if I'm too slow chopping it up with scissors - apparently I am always too slow for her liking :)

She used to have about a 6 foot bubble of distance she'd always keep between her and I and now it's about 1 foot. Marge will now take food out of my hand after working on it consistently for about 2 months. She is doing better with simple commands like "come inside" and she just recently started spending time on the couch with my resident dog and I! She is on anti anxiety meds currently and we're not sure if they're as effective as we'd hope for them to be so we might try a new one in the new year.

She has a huge personality and has been so fun to get to know. I'm confident that with consistency, she will continue to make progress!

Adoption Fee: $560 + tax

Adoption Status: Is this dog available? Submitting an application is the best first step to learning if a dog is still available. There is a chance this dog could have a pending adoption when your application is submitted, however our team will offer approved applicants to be put on a waiting list for that dog. Additionally, we can make recommendations on other dogs that may be a match. Pending adoptions do not mean the adoption is finalized. Why did we implement this change? We implemented this update because, unfortunately, dogs were pending for applicants for several weeks and then the applicant would change their mind. This happens more often with puppies, as applications are submitted impulsivly more often for them. Our process is great because it takes a little time, so impulsive decisions fade. However it was unfortunate for the dogs, and the foster homes, as then the process needed to be re-started. By securing a wait-list we are able to move forward more quickly if a pending adoption falls through. This is a new process for us, so your feedback along the way is helpful! Thank you for supporting rescue and adoption!
