My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Marsala is a lovely and independent girl who is ready to find her perfect match! 💖

She is SUCH a lovebug, always wanting pets and affection. She'll even gently paw at you until you give her attention. Marsala is sure to keep you smiling with her funny antics and quirkiness.

She may be a little picky when it comes to her doggy friends—especially with female dogs—but with the right introduction and plenty of love, she’ll make a wonderful companion.

While Marsala isn't overly high-energy, she absolutely loves to explore and roll around in the grass. A yard would be ideal for her to sniff around and enjoy her outdoor time, but it’s not a deal-breaker if you don’t have one. Marsala loves her walks and has a curious nature, always wanting to check out the world around her.

Marsala is looking for a home with someone who has previous dog experience, as she thrives with structure, routine, and training. Her previous foster mentioned that maintaining her training was a challenge without the right experience, so her new family should be ready to continue helping her build on what she already knows.

Marsala will do best in a home with a calm, confident leader who can provide the guidance and consistency she needs. If you think Marsala is a good fit for your family and you have the experience to offer her the stability she craves, she’s sure to bring lots of love and joy to your life!
