Meet the utterly delightful Marie! 🎉 This little gem is quite possibly the cutest, sweetest, and most adorable creature the universe has ever blessed us with! 😍 After spending over 8 years in her prior home, Marie arrived with a heavy heart and a few too many tales of woe. She didn’t just come in feeling a bit confused; this gentle soul was heartbroken. 💔 When she was surrendered to the rescue, she bore signs of neglect: thin, nails grown into curls like her own personal corkscrew, itchy, inflamed skin, and a coat so sparse it looked like it was waving goodbye from her hind end and tail. To top it off, her poor teeth weren’t just discolored; they were rotted away, causing painful issues that had been festering for far too long. 🌧️ This isn’t just a sad story – it’s a true testament to resilience. But wait, there’s a silver lining! 🌈 Marie is finally receiving the medical care she has always deserved, and she’s settling in like a queen with her loving foster family. She hit the floor running, quickly engaging in a thorough inspection of her new palace (we can all agree that’s crucial business!). After that big meal, you’d find her nestled by the fire in her very own fluffy Lamb Chop bed, stealing hearts left and right. 🛏️ This sweet angel enjoys frolicking with her foster brothers and is a total star during her medicated baths! The girl even has a knack for expressing her thoughts – oh yes, she has opinions! With a touch of sass and a wave of her tail, she can deliver quite the emotional thesis! 🗣️ Though she has some vision loss, don’t let that fool you; Marie maneuvers through her world like a pro! She might be toothless and sport a few oral-nasal fistulas, but she certainly doesn’t let anything slow her down. Her bark? Well, let’s just say it’s a surprising low and raspy sound that could catch anyone off guard - a genuine “jump scare” moment for sure! 🎶 When it’s time for her foster family to head out, Marie is perfectly cozy on her own. But when they return? WATCH OUT! She greets them with enough enthusiasm to launch a thousand ships – wagging tail and all! 🐾 With a 10/10 rating for pee pads, she’s practically a potty-training pro and even helps her foster brother Brody with his own stealth tactics! What a mentor! 👩‍🏫 Marie will eat absolutely anything you dang well offer her, showing her impeccable scavenging skills, rivaling that of a Roomba! She prefers to keep her humans close, patrolling the territory, and making sure everyone’s okay. Think of her as your emotional support AND surveillance expert! 📸 This comedic, cuddly love bug is ready to bring endless joy to your life. Are you ready for some giggles and sweet cuddles?
