About

Meet Marnie - Fairfield

Marnie’s adoption donation is $425 and she is being fostered in Central Ohio.  She has been spayed, microchipped, received her rabies, distemper/parvo, bivalent canine influenza and Bordetella vaccines, tested negative for heartworms and started on prevention, as well as flea prevention.  She has also had a dental cleaning.   Marnie came into rescue from a local shelter as a stray, where she wasn't doing well in the shelter environment.  She is a very sweet and lovable little lady who is doing very well in her foster home.  We believe she was most likely a pampered pupster in her previous home because she LOVES the attention of her people.  Marnie gets along with the resident dog and has great potty skills if kept on a schedule.  She is leash trained but will not potty on leash.  She is not a big walker, much preferring to hang out with her human peeps.  Her most endearing characteristic is her high pitched voice when she can't find her humans or is left alone, so not apartment or condo appropriate.  She would much prefer sleeping with her humans, we believe, but in her foster home she shares a gated area with the resident dog.  Her ideal forever home would be with an older couple with no children and who has lots of time to spend with her and treat her like the princess she is and deserves.  Marnie doesn't require a fenced yard but because she doesn't reliably potty on leash, a fenced area would be helpful.  Marnie would also benefit greatly with a family that has experience with her breed as she tends to be protective of her people sometimes.  

Adoption Process
Applicant submits an online (or paper) application. We thoroughly check references including personal, vet, and groomer--landlord if applicable. Once references check out, we then conduct a home visit to ensure home and family would best suit the dog. We do not adopt on a first come, first served basis--we go with the home that is the best fit for the dog.
