Mardi!
This very special lady is the one and only Mardi.
Mardi, which means Tuesday in French, got her name as she came to our rescue at the end of Mardi Gras season and was a birthday pull for one of our rescue members. That birthday happened to fall on a Tuesday.
Mardi has been with us, in foster care, for about 4 weeks and her life has done a 360 in that time. Mardi arrived at a local shelter as a suspected cruelty case. She was very underweight, scoring 1/9 on the dog body condition scale, dehydrated and covered in bite wounds and punctures on her neck, some of which were infected. We immediately took her into our care and got her the proper vet care, some good quality food and lots of TLC and she has just started to shine. Thankfully Mardi is a sweet soul who does not hold any of her former treatment against people.
Mardi's foster mom has only the best things to say about her but wanted to share a few of her favorite Mardi qualities:
- LOVES people. Everyone. She does not think personal space is really a thing (or maybe it's just that your personal space is also hers)
- She gives the best hugs. She manages to somehow shape her body to yours
- She snorts, particularly when she is happy. No suprise, she also snores
- She loves car rides and is an angel in the car
- She loves the yard at her foster home and happily goes outside to potty and roll in the grass on a nice day. She however thinks she shouldn't have to go out in the rain or snow
- She is also an angel in the tub for baths and is even cooperative for nail trims
Mardi tested well with a lower key dog at the shelter, however she is a bit excited and focused on other dogs so far and given her condition we would like to place her as the only dog for the moment. This may continue to improve over time.
Mardi is great in a crate and making progress with housebreaking, however she does have accidents if left too long. She should be crated when not supervised as she definitely is a trash hound and will look for any crumb of food and is fine with knocking everything off a shelf or table to find it.
She is an approx 2-3 yr old american bulldog and/or boxer mix and is around 56 lbs now. We are so impressed with how far Mardi has come in the short month she has been in our care. She has gained more than 20% of her body weight in that time and still gets fed several small meals a day on a schedule. Her most recent bloodwork looks good and her xrays show some arthritis in her knees that we are managing with quality food, supplements and regular exercise and she has more pep in her step every day.
Mardi's adoption fee includes her spay, vaccinations to date and microchipping. She also tested heartworm negative and is up to date on preventatives. She has had basic adult canine bloodwork and regular vet care as she has recovered.
