A Note from the Foster: Hi! My name is Marsha but my foster family usually just calls me “pretty pittie” because have you seen my gorgeous stripes and sweet heart nose? 🥰
I am young, athletic, smart, energetic, and loving. A human with a lot of those same qualities would be my perfect match! I am already crate trained, housetrained, and know some commands - I learn really fast because I love food and am super smart. I also love people! So much that sometimes I don’t understand why I can’t say hello to everyone I see and jump on them because I get SO excited! 😆
I live with two teenage boys and love them a lot. I am strong though and since I am still learning how to contain all that love, I might be too much for little kids that are smaller than me.
I also live with 2 other dogs - both girls like me! It took a while for me to trust them but we hang out with each other now. I still don’t want to play with them though. I’d probably get along best with a boy dog who just wants to chill. Or I would be fine being your one and only pet!
Here are things I like to do:
🏃♀️ I am an honorary member of my mom’s run club! I’d love to be your running buddy.
Hike - I am always up for an adventure!
Walk - I like to go for walks every day to check out the neighborhood
🧩- I like doing puzzles to keep my 🧠 busy
Learn! I really like to learn new tricks and commands - I would be the valedictorian of any class!
Curling up in front of the fire and taking naps
Here are things I need to work on:
Loose leash walking
Staying calm in exciting situations - like passing by people or 🐕 on a walk or seeing a 🐿️ !!
My perfect pet parent would be:
Active and willing to exercise me every day
Dedicated to training me and helping me learn how to contain all my excitement and strength in a constructive way
Experienced working with energetic dogs like me or willing to partner with a trainer to learn how
Willing to invest in my training - I would be a great candidate for a Board and Train program to set me up for success!
I am so sweet and have so much potential to be a wonderful, loyal companion. I just need to find someone who loves me and appreciates me 😊 Could that be you?
Adoption Fee: $510 + 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!
