About Marcie

Marcie is a four-year-old cream-colored Cairn Terrier mix, weighing about 40 pounds. Initially shy, it may take her some time to feel at ease, but once she warms up, you’ll discover a truly sweet companion. Her gentle nature is evident; she’s not one to demand attention but rather cherishes each affectionate moment you share. This lovely girl was found wandering with another dog, and they seemed to have a strong bond. Unfortunately, the overwhelming shelter environment caused her anxiety, which led to her being placed on the euthanasia list, a situation that no dog should have to face. Luckily, Home Fur Good gave Marcie a second chance. At the rescue, Marcie has shown her softer side and is cooperative with handling. She thrives on trust and would be happiest with a canine sibling to help her settle in. Her adoption fee includes spaying, vaccinations, microchipping, and a wellness visit at Phoenix Mountain Animal Hospital. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
