About Marni

Meet Marni! At around 10 weeks old, Marni weighs in at 4.5 pounds and is a tiny Chihuahua mix with a big personality. This sweet girl is fun, bouncy, and outgoing, showcasing a more adventurous spirit than her sister. Everything is an adventure for her, and she’s ready to investigate any toy that crosses her path. Marni's energy is contagious; she loves playing with toys, racing around the yard, and wrestling with her former housemates. She's growing more confident meeting new people and has already mastered climbing onto the couch. With her friendly nature, she gets along with dogs, cats, and children. Raising a puppy is both fun and demanding. Marni will need a patient family who can offer structure, consistency, and training. A fenced-in yard and another dog to play with would enrich her life. As she’s still little, she’ll need help navigating stairs for now. Marni is up-to-date on vaccinations but will need her final round of core vaccines and spaying when the time is right. A balanced puppy diet is essential as she grows. If you’re looking for a fun companion to fill your days with laughter and adventures, Marni could be the perfect fit for you! Your new best friend is just one click away.
