Marsha's Story

Marsha is a beautiful senior girl with a gentle heart and a quiet resilience that's impossible not to admire. Life hasn't always been kind to her. After being abandoned, she found herself at an emergency veterinary hospital fighting an infection and understandably unsure if she could trust the people around her.<br/><br/>Today, we're so happy to say that Marsha is making a full recovery, and with every passing day, she continues to show us just how much love she still has to give.<br/><br/>As she's settled into rescue, Marsha has become increasingly interested in the new people in her life. She greets familiar faces with warmth and is beginning to build trust with new ones. We believe Marsha was once someone's beloved family dog, and she deserves nothing less than to feel that sense of belonging again.<br/><br/>Because of everything she's been through, Marsha would thrive with an adopter who understands that trust is something earned, not rushed. We'd love to see her with an experienced dog owner - especially someone familiar with German Shepherds or other intelligent, loyal breeds - who can appreciate her sensitive nature and continue helping her feel safe and confident.<br/><br/>Visits are by appointment only, exclusively for approved applicants only.<br/>STREET TAILS ANIMAL RESCUE<br/>1030 N 2ND STREET SUITE 401<br/>PHILADELPHIA, PA 19123<br/>KENNEL 07205<br/><br/>Submit an application: STREETTAILS.ORG/ADOPT

Street Tails Animal Rescue's Adoption Policy
THE PROCESS The first step in the adoption process is to fill out an application. Applications are processed on a first come/ best-fit basis and generally take 48-72 business hours to approve. Incomplete applications will not be processed, so please make sure to fill out the entire form. Dogs Upon approval, a STAR staff member will contact you to set up a time for you to get to know the dog of your choice. If you currently have any dogs in your home, you will need to bring the animal(s) to the meet. Dog meets ONLY take place after an application has been processed and approved. Dogs need to decompress when coming into a new environment. They often need time to get the hang of their new routine and get comfortable with their new family. Because of these reasons, our adoptions begin with a two-week trial period. We created this policy to help ensure that each dog we place would find what will truly be their forever home. We also want you to be happy with your new family member. The two-week trial period will allow you to make sure that you’re prepared to be a pet parent and that you’ve found the dog that’s right for you. During the two-week trial, if (for whatever reason) you feel that your home is not the right fit, bring the dog back and we will refund the adoption fee. We will keep your application on file and work with you going forward to find the right dog for you. Final adoption approval is at the discretion of staff.
