About

Meet Marina

She was seen out in the city for about three weeks; I suspect she was abandoned out there. Miraculously, this tender gal kept herself alive for three weeks and evaded capture. She would occasionally link up with folks walking their dogs, but she'd peel off and disappear again when someone tried to get a leash on her. Some eyewitnesses even reported they spotted her playing with coyotes! Finally, exhausted, she allowed one of our ACOs to apprehend her last week and she's been at our shelter since. No one has come looking for her.Despite being underweight and deeply exhausted, this dog has been an absolute doll. I named her Marina, since she came from the ocean. Marina is a very gentle dog with a soft temperament, and she really adores people. She is affectionate and sweet, and she's eagerly catching up on lost meals and some decent sleep. Marina did well meeting other dogs on her dog/dog testing here, and seems like a pretty easy keeper as far as Malligators go. She's a bit timid still, and certainly recovering from her time out in the wild, but she's eager to connect and a quick study with training. She doesn't seem particularly drivey, but she may also still be bouncing back from her ordeal. No resource guarding. Very quiet in her kennel too, and a tidy lass to boot.
