22Jun25 **Meet Marina** **Background** Marina was rescued after being found abandoned in a local Memphis parking lot with her puppy. The Good Samaritan who found them is keeping the puppy, but due to her male dog's less-than-friendly attitude toward Marina, she's been separated while fostering. This amazing foster is making it work despite the challenges, knowing that the shelter is over capacity and that every little bit helps. **Personality** Marina is super sweet and affectionate, with a lovable spirit that makes her a great companion. She adores kids, making her an excellent choice for families! She's also cat-friendly, fitting easily into a multi-pet household to spread her charm all around! While she enjoys playtime, she's not the most rambunctious dog; she doesn't require someone to run her miles a day. Marina has met a few dogs that aren't her rude male foster sibling and has been good with them so far! She's a very patient mama and a good sport as her puppy has entered the "tornado phase." Marina is easygoing and adaptable, making her a wonderful first-time dog for any new pet owner. **Fun Fact** Marina is named after the artist Marina Abramovic, reflecting her creative spirit and unique personality! She embodies a laid-back and fun vibe. With her winning personality, she'll be the life of the party, even if she has to teach a few other pets how to share the spotlight! "I'm ready to love and be loved!" **Looking for** A loving forever home where she can thrive and bring joy to her new family!
