About Marcia

Meet Marcia, the definition of a lovable English Bulldog. Born in April 2021 (Taurus, by the way—stubborn but charming, it fits!), she’s confident, squishy, and more than a bit silly. Marcia is always ready to cuddle or show off her hilarious stubborn side, especially mid-walk if she decides she’s done. She adores children and gives kisses like it’s her mission. She gets along with dogs, cats, and even chickens, and she’s unfailingly kind and affectionate to everyone she meets. Walks are a highlight for her, but she’s a shadow too—lowkey following you around, then melting into your lap for a snuggle. Marcia’s playful and quick-thinking, motivated by praise and play over treats. She loves wrestling with her foster brother and finds entertainment in exploring every corner. Her bark, especially when she wants out of her crate, is as unique as her zoomies—more comedic than speedy. She’s mostly house trained, getting the hang of her leash manners, and working on crate life. This girl thrives on attention and will need someone with the confidence to guide her when she locks onto something interesting. Marcia is spayed, vaccinated, healthy, and fostered in Richmond, VA. She’ll bring joy, strong loyalty, and plenty of laughs into any home willing to keep up with her antics. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
