About Mari

Meet Mari, a gentle soul who spent eight long years tied up, and now she’s ready for her next chapter! After her difficult past, she deserves a loving home where she can feel safe and cherished. At around eight years old, Mari is sweet, quiet, and timid but has a lot of love to give. She has learned to be crate trained and keeps her space clean; however, ongoing schedules for outdoor time will be necessary to strengthen her routine. Though Mari can be shy with new faces, she slowly warms up and appreciates gentle affection. A home with a fenced yard is crucial, as she can get frightened by sudden movements and loud noises. Ideally, she would thrive in an environment with older children or with other calm, senior dogs, as she enjoys their company without pushing for playtime. Located in Mississippi, Mari is ready to find her forever family. Virtual meetings are available for approved adopters, and there are no transport fees when finding her the perfect match. Could you be the one to help Mari soar into her new life?
