Mary Alice's Story
-ESTIMATE WEIGHT FULL GROWN: 50 lbs <br/><br/>-ESTIMATED AGE: 2 years<br/><br/>-KNOWN WITH DOGS: Mary Alice can be selective with her dog friends. <br/><br/>-KNOWN WITH CATS: Mary has met cats at the farm and done well. She was interested in them when they ran but showed no prey drive.<br/><br/>-KNOWN WITH KIDS: Mary Alice can be nervous with younger kids so we recommend children 12+ <br/><br/>-KNOWN CUES: Sit, Paw, Come<br/><br/>-KNOWN HOUSEBREAKING AND/OR CRATING: Mary Alice settles nicely in her crate once used to her environment.<br/><br/>-KNOWN LIKES: Snuggles with trusted people.<br/><br/>-KNOWN DISLIKES: Unknown<br/><br/><br/>BACKGROUND: Mary Alice - or just "Mary" to her friends - came to us after being found wandering by one of our rural shelter partners with a devastating gunshot injury to her face. Thankfully, she was found quickly and rushed in for emergency care. She is still continuing her recovery journey, and our team is happy to talk more about what that looks like and how we'll support her every step of the way.<br/><br/>While it's unfortunate that Mary has been with us longer than she deserves, we've been lucky enough to really get to know the sweet soul behind those gentle eyes. Mary is an incredibly loving, soft-hearted pittie girl who just wants to feel safe and loved. She's gentle, affectionate once she's comfortable with you, and gets along well with other well-mannered pups. She absolutely adores soft treats - honestly, treats are the fastest way to this girl's heart.<br/><br/>One of the most amazing things about Mary is how resilient she is. Despite everything she's been through, the long-term management of her injury is actually very simple. She just needs soft food and treats and for her people to generally keep an eye on things, but otherwise her care is surprisingly easy to manage.<br/><br/>Mary is a total ham bone sweetheart who deserves a home where she can finally relax, cuddle up, and be cherished the way she's always deserved. Anyone would be lucky to have this resilient, loving girl by their side.<br/><br/>Because of her recent trauma, we are still learning more about Mary Alice, but she has been amazing with our staff, who already adores her pint-size and adorable squishy face.<br/><br/>If you are interested in adopting this dog, please fill out our dog adoption questionnaire and e-mail any questions to: trailshomefarm@homewardtrails.org<br/><br/>PLEASE VISIT THIS WEBSITE TO FIND THE ADOPTION QUESTIONNAIRE:<br/><br/>http://www.homewardtrails.org/adopt-a-pet/adoption-forms/<br/><br/>HOW TO MEET THIS ANIMAL: Fill out the application and we will follow up with you! <br/><br/>LOCATION: Foster Home<br/><br/>ADOPTION COORDINATOR: Trails Home Farm<br/><br/>ADOPTION FEE: WAIVED!
