Why I need a new home

Relocating

My story

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


Age: 14 years

Meet Marilyn, most commonly referred to as ‘Mimi’! Marilyn is a spunky, energetic, and independent girl. Behind her scruffy exterior is a little dog with a lot of life left. She has some preexisting issues. She was diagnosed with IVDD, but it doesn’t affected her daily life too much. Sometimes she runs funny due to arthritis in her hips but she never expresses any pain. She has two benign tumors on her belly. They do not cause her pain or disable her in any way. Marilyn does well around children but she doesn’t like their company. She would do best in a house with adults. Marilyn would THRIVE on a farm. She has been raised around chickens and cats. She enjoys car rides (so much so that if you say the word “ride”, you will have to take her with you), is leash trained and loves going on walks. She is a quiet dog. She loves to lay in a spot where she can see you. It makes her comfortable and puts her at ease.
