Mary (Reduced Rover)

THERE'S DEFINITELY SOMETHING ABOUT MARY <br/><br/>(And science may never recover.)<br/><br/>Some dogs enter your life quietly.<br/>Mary does not.<br/><br/>Mary arrives in your universe like a soft-eyed revelation, the kind of creature who gazes at you with such heartfelt awe that you start questioning your entire resume. Did I really just give her a cracker? Did I... unlock her kennel door? And did that make me... a sorcerer?<br/><br/>Her eyes say yes.<br/>Her tail says OH MY GOD YES.<br/>Her whole body wiggles like she just heard the pizza guy knock five minutes early and she personally orchestrated the miracle.<br/><br/>Before she was "Mary," she was a nameless mom raising puppies like a legend-pure grit, pure heart, pure resilience, no fan club, no soft bed, no gentle hand. But now? Oh, she's main-character energy. She's "ear rubs should be a constitutional right" energy. She's "if loving nose-boops is wrong, she refuses to be right" energy.<br/><br/>Mary is a 62-pound poem about second chances.<br/>Her hobbies include:<br/> Staring at you like you wrote the soundtrack to her life<br/> Slow, luxurious sniff-walks where she investigates each blade of grass<br/> Melting into her bed like warm butter on a biscuit after accomplishing... essentially nothing<br/> Auditioning for lead soprano any time you sing "Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary" (and yes, she accepts roses)<br/><br/>House trained? Of course.<br/>Leash trained? Obviously.<br/>Low-maintenance? Darling, this girl is practically a houseplant with feelings.<br/><br/>Dogs? Sure-after a proper polite introduction.<br/>Cats? Ah. The jury is still out, deliberating, eating snacks.<br/><br/>Fresh off heartworm treatment and spay surgery, she's healthy, healed, hopeful, and about 3 years into becoming the greatest thing that will ever happen to your living room.<br/><br/>You don't adopt Mary.<br/>Mary chooses you.<br/>And when she does, you'll finally understand why everyone who meets her walks away whispering:<br/><br/>"There's just... something about Mary."<br/><br/>Come meet her.<br/>Let her rewrite your whole story.<br/><br/>PLEASE READ BELOW:<br/><br/>If you are interested in meeting and/or adopting, the first step is to complete an application and read all of our FAQs: <br/><br/>https://www.takepawsrescue.org/adopt<br/><br/>Please note: Information to determine if you might be a match for one of our animals can only be found on our application. <br/>*An inquiry, questions or introduction through Petfinder is NOT an application* <br/>All known details about our animals are posted on their profile and updated daily. Other info will be discussed in detail with the foster during the application review process. Due to the high volume of introductions/questions received we ask you to submit an application (that application can be used for any dog with Take Paws Rescue).<br/><br/>The adoption fee for adult dogs covers age appropriate vaccinations, microchip, spay/neuter if not yet performed, heartworm test & appropriate heartworm treatment by the rescue's vet. All dogs in our care are also kept up-to-date on HW/Flea Prevention.<br/>For more on this, or for additional information, including the adoption process and our adoption fee scale for all our adoptable pets (including an explanation about Benefactor Dogs), please see our FAQs page: <br/><br/>https://www.takepawsrescue.org/faq<br/><br/>Any breed labels used by Take Paws Rescue, its employees/volunteers, or on vet records provided cannot be guaranteed. Breed labels are given based on information obtained during intake and/or best guesses based on appearance and/or temperament of the dogs and Take Paws Rescue gives no assurance to the accuracy of these labels. Labels are necessary for postings to many animal networking sites, such as our website, Chewy, Pet Finder, and others. These are in no way a guarantee. Additionally, exact age and potential size cannot be guaranteed.<br/><br/>***Take Paws Rescue saves dogs from high-kill shelters across the South, owner surrenders, and discarded dogs with uncertain futures. All of our animals live in foster homes where they are socialized, and well cared for. An application will be required to make sure it's the perfect match!

THERE'S DEFINITELY SOMETHING ABOUT MARY

(And science may never recover.)

Some dogs enter your life quietly.
Mary does not.

Mary arrives in your universe like a soft-eyed revelation, the kind of creature who gazes at you with such heartfelt awe that you start questioning your entire resume. Did I really just give her a cracker? Did I... unlock her kennel door? And did that make me... a sorcerer?

Her eyes say yes.
Her tail says OH MY GOD YES.
Her whole body wiggles like she just heard the pizza guy knock five minutes early and she personally orchestrated the miracle.

Before she was "Mary," she was a nameless mom raising puppies like a legend-pure grit, pure heart, pure resilience, no fan club, no soft bed, no gentle hand. But now? Oh, she's main-character energy. She's "ear rubs should be a constitutional right" energy. She's "if loving nose-boops is wrong, she refuses to be right" energy.

Mary is a 62-pound poem about second chances.
Her hobbies include:

Mary is a 62-pound poem about second chances.
Her hobbies include:
Staring at you like you wrote the soundtrack to her life
Slow, luxurious sniff-walks where she investigates each blade of grass
Melting into her bed like warm butter on a biscuit after accomplishing... essentially nothing
Auditioning for lead soprano any time you sing "Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary" (and yes, she accepts roses)

House trained? Of course.
