Marci's story...
Meet Marci. She was dropped off at one of the rural shelters where I volunteer. The lady who owned her was a senior lady who said Marci was just too energetic for her. The shelter called me right away and told me about this lovely girl.

I went down immediately and brought Marci back home with me. I had to take her straight to my vet first thing to have her toenails trimmed (they looked like bird claws!) and get her first DHPP (Distemper/Parvo) vaccination.

Since she has come to live here, Marci is thriving. She used to be a fluffy 14 pounds, but now she is a svelte, fit 14 pounds! Marci loves all the male dogs here in her foster home. She plays hard and fast with them all, kind of like a TomBoy! But she can be a little bossy with the other females, so we suggest she go to a home with a male canine companion.

As for cats, I don’t think Marci would harm them, but she might aggravate them to death!

Marci is VERY affectionate and loves to sleep in the bed with you right up next to your shoulder. Her beautiful blonde coat is very slick and soft and easy to maintain. However, since she doesn’t have much fur, Marci will get cold in the winter. We will require that she be an indoor dog and recommend purchasing her some warm winter clothing to help retain her body heat during the winter months.

We believe Marci to be about 9 months old. She is very social and loves everyone she meets. Marci is not housetrained, but she is leashtrained. Marci is also super well behaved in the car and loves to go for car rides. She has already been spayed, heartworm tested (negative), vaccinated for Rabies, Distemper/Parvo, and Bordetella (Kennel Cough).

If you are interested in Marci, please email me at heart4rescue@wmconnect.com. We are requiring a home with a fenced yard and at least one other canine companion. A vet reference, home visit, and adoption contract are required. This dog is located in Spartanburg, SC.

About Our Rescue Group...
The Out of Harm's Way mission is to improve the lives of homeless, abandoned, neglected, and abused dogs through our rescue, rehabilitation, and re-homing efforts. We endeavor to remove them from harm‘s way by pulling them from kill shelters, taking them in through owner surrenders, providing for their immediate medical needs, evaluating their behavioral and social needs, then finding suitable placements for them so that they may live out the remainder of their lives happy, healthy, and well loved. We seek to show all these animals the love and respect they deserve that comes through humane care, heartfelt compassion, and the touch of human kindness.

When our dogs are placed, Out of Harm's Way requires an adoption contract to be signed by the adoptive family. We hold this as a legal and binding contract between the rescue and the adoptive family insuring the future well being of their new family member.

Out of Harm's Way also requires an adoption fee with each adoption so that our rescue may cover the inevitable costs involved in pulling, vetting, maintaining, and placing these needy dogs. Each new rescue dog requires a hefty financial outlay. Adoption fees enable us to continue our rescue efforts by supporting ongoing expenses and provide reimbursement for the cost of the spay/neuter, microchipping, and any veterinary care required prior to placement, and in most instances, even travel costs.

In all cases, the expenses related to a particular dog will be covered by the set adoption fee. While the adoption fees may seem higher for some dogs, please remember that our rescue has invested tons of time, effort, and money into all these dogs. We simply must recoup this investment in order to continue rescuing needy animals. You may also consider that if a higher adoption fee is beyond your means, you may need to consider a pet which does not require as much care and expense as a dog. However, keep in mind, the normal care and upkeep of any pet requires an ongoing financial outlay.
