About Marcella

Meet the delightful Marcella! This fabulous lady is a 7-year-old mix of English Setter and Labrador Retriever. Weighing in at 65 pounds, she has faced difficulties, having been abandoned with 14 hunting companions. Can you imagine? Now, let's talk about this gentle soul. While she may be a little shy at first, once Marcella feels that warm energy from you, she really starts to bloom. She’s sweet, gentle, and surprisingly playful! With a submissive nature around other dogs, she would thrive in a peaceful home, especially one with a confident furry companion to show her kindness. If you have kids who've graduated from the “screaming and running everywhere” phase, they’d be a perfect match for her! And guess what? She's totally cool with cats too! Just know that a fenced yard is essential for her. What Marcella dreams of is a cozy spot to lounge and enjoy the world, with her very own waitstaff (that’s you!) bringing her some delicious snacks from time to time. With some patience and kindness, Marcella is ready to leave her troubled past behind for a soft bed, gentle hands, and a loving forever home. You could be her hero!
