Story
Meet Mari! Mari is a female Cairn Terrier mix who can’t wait to find her new forever home. Weighing a petite18 lbs, Mari is gentle, sweet, and loving. She is approximately 5 years old. She is spayed, and up to date on her shots. Cairn Terriers are known for their charming, spirited, and bold personalities. Mari is both playful and affectionate. She is a good fit if you appreciate liveliness and snuggling. She has plenty of energy and loves to play, making her a joy for families and active individuals. Cairn Terriers are intelligent and can seem stubborn. She is smart and learns quickly. She can also be a bit independent-minded. Consistent training is key! What makes Mari wonderful is her curious and adventurous attitude. Her inquisitive nature makes her a natural explorer. Mari is loyal and she likes to form strong bonds with her family. She likes to stay close and always knows where home is. One of Mari’s favorite pastimes is a good snooze on cozy dog beds or comfy blankets. She doesn’t mind sleeping with little disturbances in her own space. She can happily sleep in her own room and prefers her own bed. Mari enjoys a good brushing, and it relaxes her instantly. Despite Mari’s small size, she has a big, fearless attitude which is common in Cairn Terriers. Mari is brave and confident. She often thinks of herself as much larger than she is. She’s good with other dogs in the dog park. However, she is known to dominate other dogs who look like her. She also enjoys some time in front of the mirror and appreciates her reflection. Because of Mari’s dominant nature, she is leash reactive. She is fine with other dogs when her leash is not attached but will become more assertive if she is near another dog while on her leash. Her leash reactivity needs work and she needs a competent handler who is motivated to help her learn. Mari loves tasty treats and will hold off on her scheduled meals in hopes of something worthy of her palate. Mari does not have accidents inside. However, be watchful for the first five nights as she is sorting out her surroundings. Mari is perfect for someone who enjoys an energetic, snuggly, and entertaining companion. Mari is not suitable for a home with smaller children. She likes her space at times and prefers a more calm setting. She is not suited for a home with cats or other small critters. Her adoption fee is $450 We cover the medical to prepare the pet for adoption and the adopt donations go directly to cover those costs and range from $295-$495.
