Marina and her sister Madonna were left behind in a rural neighborhood and spent their early days running loose and nervously keeping their distance from strangers. At first, both were skittish and wary, always watching people from afar. A kind local took the time to earn their trust with daily meals, which eventually allowed them to safely come to the shelter. Since arriving, Marina has come a long way—she’s learning to walk on a leash and starting to settle in. She and Madonna have grown close, but both can be adopted separately. Marina would thrive with someone patient willing to continue building her confidence. She just needs someone ready to show her how good a home can be.
