Laika (Mara)'s Story

Sex: Female<br/><br/>Breed: Boxer x<br/><br/>Estimated Date of Birth : 09/14/2022<br/><br/>Sometimes 2nd chances don't work out the way you want them to and sometimes dogs can no longer stay in their adopted homes. But dogs like Laika are resilient and they will bond again they just need their chance to meet new humans to care for. Laika has so much love to give. She lives for human companionship. She thrives in a home setting so adjusting to our ranch environment has been a little hard for her. Thankfully her time in doggie daycare while adopted has given her the positive social skills she needed to live with dozens of other dogs in our rescue ranch setting but still Laika wants her own home. <br/><br/>Laika started her journey with us in 2022 as a tiny 6 week old underage puppy. She and her littermates were all almost identical in looks and had all been dumped when a Good Samaritan brought them into the shelter. We pulled the whole litter and they all quickly came down with parvo. Every puppy was a fighter and every puppy survived under the medical care of our vets. Laika finally found an adoptive family at 4 months old. That family sadly a year later had their own medical complications and Laika came back into our care. <br/><br/>This sweet girl has been through a lot but she's ready to start over and find a new home. During her time with us we have discovered that she suffers from a seizure disorder. Thankfully seizures in dogs are easily controlled with medication and our vet has gotten her started on the meds she will now take for life. Laika has so much love to give we are hopeful her disorder doesn't deter future adopters. It really is so easy to treat and Laika deserves to have a family to love imperfections and all. If they're looking for a dog friendly walking buddy who's great on leash, if you're looking for a super affectionate girl who has some house skills from her time adopted Laika just might be the dog for you. Please give her the chance to fall in love with a family again. If you are interested in adopting a Marley's Mutts please fill out an application at http://marleysmutts.org/adoptionprocess/

Marley's Mutts Dog Rescue's Adoption Policy
Every dog that comes through Marley's Mutts lives in our facility where people can visit and meet multiple dogs. Each dog will be introduced on our Facebook page when it arrives and will then have his or her own profile created and put up on our website. The length of time between when the dog arrives and when it is put up on the website varies. Puppies are not typically listed on the website until a few weeks prior to adoption (8 weeks of age). All our dogs will also be spayed or neutered prior to being adopted. They will be micro-chipped and up to date on their shots. Dogs that have behavior or health issues may not be listed on the website for an extended period of time. Healthy, well-behaved dogs typically will be put on the website within one week of arriving at the ranch or foster home. During that week we are constantly assessing the dog's temperament. We need time to be able to determine the dog's quirks and what type of permanent home will be ideal for the dog. Each of our dogs will have his or her own application to complete. Please refrain from applying for a dog and intending the application for another dog not yet listed. When the dog that you are interested in has a bio posted on this website, please fill out the application thoroughly. Answer any and all applicable questions and tell us why your home would be the best place for this pup to go. Once your application has been submitted, please be patient. You will receive an automated email confirming it was received. If your application was selected as a potential adopter, we will notify you and begin the approval process. We will talk to your family over the phone, get clarification on any questions we may have and will also answer any of your questions. Not all dogs have the same needs, so we don't have a generalized "standard home" in mind. We highly recommend bringing residents dogs for a meet and greet. We do not ship or transport our dogs without observing an introduction. Adopters from out of town are absolutely encouraged to adopt from us but will need to make the road trip to California to meet the dog, and most likely take it back home with you that same day, if all goes well. If you're not sure which dog would be the best fit, email us and we can help guide you in the right direction. If your application is not selected, we don't think any less of you or your home. Most likely we had eight out of ten amazing options and yours just unfortunately wasn't the one we picked. Please stay in touch with us and let us help you find the perfect addition to your family. We will notify you if the dog is currently pending adoption and then again when the dog is adopted. You can also follow our Facebook page for updates on the dog you're interested in. Once that pup has joined your family don't ever hesitate to reach out to us. Training questions, medication questions and anything in between are encouraged. We thank you for coming to Marley's Mutts to adopt your next dog. We think very highly of our dogs and enjoy sharing them with the world. For specific questions, please contact Marsha Gebhart, our Adoption Coordinator: mgebhart@marleysmutts.org
