Marie

Meet Marie! Marie is quite possibly the cutest, sweetest, most adorable little creature ever created. <br/><br/>After more than 8 years in her home, Marie didn’t just arrive confused…she arrived distraught. She was surrendered to us in sorry shape: thin, with nails grown so long they curl, itchy, inflamed skin, and a coat so sparse it barely exists on her hind end and tail. And her teeth didn’t just fall out - they rotted away, leaving open holes from her gums up into her nasal cavity. This is severe dental disease that traps foot in her sinuses, causing horrific and painful infection. This doesn’t happen overnight. <br/><br/>Marie is finally getting the medical care she so desperately needs, and making herself right at home with her foster family. She immediately got to work doing a full house inspection (very important business), had a big meal, and curled up in front of the fire in her very own Lamb Chop bed. She adores cuddling with her foster brothers and is an absolute angel for her medicated baths. She is also very comfortable voicing her opinions, commentary, and emotional thesis statements. <br/><br/>Marie has some vision loss, but don’t let that fool you ~ she gets around just fine. She’s toothless but has a few oral–nasal fistulas, and absolutely does not let any of that slow her down. She hears well, is incredibly cuddly, and sweet as can be. And her bark? Low, raspy, and so unexpected it sounds like it’s coming from someone else entirely. Truly a jump scare every time.<br/><br/>While Marie loves cudding, she doesn't mind staying home while her foster family is out. When they return, she meets them with a wagging tail and happy greetings. She is perfect with pee pads (10/10 potty professionalism), and has even taught her foster brother Brody an advanced maneuver: hiding behind foster mom’s back when she leans forward. A true mentor.<br/><br/>Marie will eat anything you offer and scavenges food more efficiently than a Roomba. She prefers to keep tabs on foster mom at all times ~ following her room to room, or crying dramatically if temporarily stranded on the couch. Emotional support AND surveillance, she stands ready to offer. M<br/><br/>Marie is ready to be your love bug, funny-noise specialist, and portable joy machine. Apply to meet her today!<br/><br/>Marie is approximately 11 years old and 8 lbs. More details as we get to know her better. <br/><br/>Fostered in Charles Town, WV<br/>Please apply at Mirishaven.org
