My name is Marie in TN - Such a Smart Cookie!!

Can this little girl be any cuter? Marie is definitely in the running for the cutest pup of the month! This 'lil girl is the bestest girl and always on her best behavior - she is hoping that being a good girl means she will get fast-tracked to her furever home! Marie is such a smart cookie that she figured out the potty routine in no time, how amazing is that? These days, her daily schedule goes like this: eat, potty, play, nap, and repeat. If you ask her, Marie will tell you that playtime is definitely the best time of the day, especially if it means she can play with her brother and other foster siblings. Toys are a great substitution, especially chew toys so she can gnaw her little heart out during down times. Marie has such a lovely, easy-going pyrsonality that we are pawsitive she has all the pawtential to be your best friend furever. This little girl will also need an older male sibling to guide her along the way, and be her most trusted companion, as well as a secure fenced yard, in her furever home.

NYS Registered Rescue # RR102

Our goal is to assess every application on its own merits. Key considerations are: 1) the experience of the applicant with large breed dogs 2) children in the household or regularly visiting the household are ready for a large-breed dog who is a guardian by nature and 3) the sex of other dogs currently residing in the household to avoid same-sex aggression issues. For puppies under six months old, the applicant’s ability to socialize the puppy with older dogs is a priority.
