Meet Marcus, a four-year-old male Shepherd/Terrier mix who is as resilient as he is heartwarming! 🌟 This fella arrived at the rescue as a stray on December 3rd, 2025, carrying not just his 60-pound frame but the weight of past trauma. Can you believe it? 🥺 After facing some tough times, he quickly found himself in the caring hands of a dedicated veterinary team. They worked their magic, neutering him and providing the antibiotics he needed to heal.
