About Mari

Meet princess Mari! This resilient young dog has a unique story; she was found after being tossed over a junkyard fence. With great teamwork from the employees, Mari was rescued despite her initial fears and leg injury. She had a difficult start, dealing with a broken elbow and an injured eyelid, but she's shown remarkable spirit. After receiving care at the vet, she's on the path to recovery, although she will need some patient, loving guidance along the way. Mari is a small girl at just 24 pounds, sporting a lovely red and chestnut coat. She adores everyone, but it takes her some time to warm up. Thankfully, she gets along well with cats, dogs, and even children, making her a great addition to the right family. Mari will thrive in a home that understands her journey, and she will need a fenced yard to feel safe.
