Marshmallow was brought to Dakin as a stray from a nearby town, so we don't know much about her. What we do know is that she is easy going and gentle, and that she adapted quickly in her foster home. She loves pets, especially under her chin. She is relaxed and welcoming to strangers. If her food bowl is empty, she'll let you know with a loud cry until you fill it. Her foster describes her a "friendly but not overbearing." We don't know how she would be with children or other animals, but a slow introduction is always best. Need some sweetness in your home? Marshmallow might be just the right ingredient. Ready to Adopt? You have two options: #1- VISIT IN PERSON Come during our open adoption hours: Tuesday - Saturday,12:30 - 3:00pm.
