It's time for April's Furry Friends sponsored by The Powell Legacy Group of Coldwell Banker Realty
Sweet, petite, and full of personality, Marie is a pint-sized pocket sweetheart looking for her furever home! At 4 years old, she already has some of the basics down—she’s house trained, crate trained, and knows basic commands.
Marie’s story is heartbreaking but inspiring. She came to us severely underweight after being starved and neglected. She was immediately placed in a foster home where she safely regained weight and learned what it means to be loved.
A few of Marie’s favorite things:
• Lounging on the sofa
• Exploring on walks and outdoor adventures (she could make a great hiking buddy!)
• Tennis balls—the more, the better!
• Hearing her name called: “MAAAARIEEEE!”
• Bursts of playful energy
• Music and dancing
Marie is lovable, entertaining, and always keeps life interesting. During playtime she can be a little mouthy, but it’s all part of her goofy charm. When it comes to people, Marie likes to take her time. Think of it as a brief interview process—bring snacks and you’ll quickly earn her approval! Once you’ve passed the test, she’ll happily spend the day cuddling by your side.
Because Marie can be cautious with new people, she would do best in a quieter home without a constant stream of visitors. An apartment setting or frequently busy household is not the best fit for her. Marie has done well with children, cats, and women. Men may need to give her a little extra time to warm up, but once she feels comfortable, she does very well.
One thing that will likely always be important to Marie is food. After experiencing severe hunger in her past, meal times remain a very big deal to her.
Marie is learning, growing, and becoming more confident every day. She’s a joyful, animated girl who will brighten your life, make you laugh, and maybe even inspire you to dance.
Marie has waited long enough for her furever family. Could that family be yours? Please give Marie the love she deserves!
