Meet Mari: 9 Pounds of Sass, Speed, and Snuggles Mari is a tiny Cairn Terrier mix (under 10 pounds!) with a BIG personality packed into a very portable body. At about 8 months old, she’s basically a fun-sized athlete with a soft side. Her résumé includes: * Professional zoomie expert * Certified dog’s-dog (she loves other pups—currently besties with a Lab mix) * Crate trained * House trained * Fully vaccinated * Future spa day booked (spay + microchip on 5/15) Mari can be a little “who are you and why are you looking at me?” when she first meets new people—but give her a minute, and she’ll upgrade you to “my person” status faster than you’d expect. Her dream home: A yard to zoom in, another playful dog to wrestle with, and humans who understand that tiny dogs can still have big energy. She’s an active puppy and needs daily exercise—this is not a couch potato situation. A quick reality check (because Mari insisted on honesty): * She’s small and a bit delicate, so homes with small children aren’t the best fit * Probably not ideal for low-energy households or seniors looking for a super chill companion Mari will be heading back with her current foster crew soon, so she’s ready to find her real forever home ASAP. If you’re looking for a loyal sidekick who will make you laugh, keep you moving, and occasionally judge you from across the room like a tiny queen—Mari is your girl. Mari is currently being fostered in Texas but available to transport to approved adopter in the Midwest, Northeast and Canada. $400 Adoption fee includes vaccinations, Spay/Neuter, microchip, deworming, $300 fee for Transport and vet/documentation requirements in preparation for transport.
