About Marci

Meet Marci! Marci is a 5-year-old terrier mix weighing about 13 lbs. This gentle and affectionate girl is learning, day by day, that the world can be a safe place. She was discovered in a garbage bag alongside three puppies, two of whom sadly didn’t survive. Now in a loving foster home with her surviving puppy, Inky, both are ready for their forever homes. Marci explores her surroundings, plays with toys, and greets her people with a joyful little dance. Each day is a new beginning for her. With trust, she becomes a loyal companion, loving to cuddle, give kisses, and sleep next to her person. She’s smart and observant, quickly picking up routines and even watching TV. Treats motivate her, making her a promising candidate for training. Potty training is a breeze for Marci; she quickly adapted to outdoor grass pads without any accidents. This easygoing girl doesn’t chew household items or beg at the table. She enjoys her meals calmly, naps peacefully when left alone, and seems unfazed by outside distractions like sirens and barking dogs. Despite her sweet nature, Marci is still working through some fears. Quick movements, raised voices, and certain gestures can unsettle her. She may bark at the sound of indoor doorbells or passing traffic but calms down with soothing reassurance. Marci feels safest when her person is nearby, so her family should be mindful of her comfort. Marci needs a calm, predictable home with someone who understands her fears and will allow her to explore at her own pace. She would thrive in a quieter setting, free from frequent large gatherings. Gentle, positive-reinforcement training will be essential as she continues to blossom. With continuous love and care, Marci will grow into the confident companion she’s destined to be. She’s charming, intelligent, and still learning to trust the world around her. Marci will be spayed, vaccinated, and chipped. Ready to meet her? What are you waiting for? Apply today!
