About Marisa

Marisa, fondly called "Moo-risa" or "Moo" for her charming black-and-white cow markings, is a delightful companion with a joyful and sociable nature. She's friendly to everyone, whether they are familiar faces or strangers, offering warm tail wags even to delivery drivers. Marisa thrives in the presence of people of all ages, showcasing a gentle demeanor towards children and elderly individuals, including one who uses a walker. Living with other dogs suits her well; her foster dog sibling is a bit shy, but Marisa has patiently allowed her to adjust, and now they're sharing affectionate moments and playtime. Marisa enjoys being part of family activities and needs a home where she can maintain that bond. She arrived in foster care with some interest in chewing, so regular walks, playtime, and durable toys will help channel her energy positively. At 3 years old and coming from a high-intake shelter, Marisa is looking for a family ready to embrace her lovable spirit. Her adoption fee is $250, which covers her vaccinations, microchip, testing, and spay. While she is working on housetraining, she has shown promise. Although not tested with cats, she has done well with dogs and children. We encourage you to meet Marisa and see if she’s the right fit for your family. Your journey to adoption begins by completing an application on our website. Good luck as you consider bringing this wonderful girl home!
