FOSTER UPDATE 7/20/2010
Marsey moved to a new foster home because her first foster mom had to move out of state.  The first few days she was sad but then she started to open up and join in with the pack...4 other dogs living at my house.  She is a gentle soul and all have accepted her with no issues at all.  She loves to try out different sleeping spots as I have several dog beds around and two open crates.  She was hesitant at first but learned to use the foot stool to crawl up on the people bed and was she ever proud of herself.  She rooted all over the bed with joy and then snuggled in next to me.  She gets very excited at breakfast and dinner and barks while I'm dishing the kibble up.  She also will give a very low "ruff" to tell you she wants something.  You can't help being happy around Marsey because the corners of her mouth turn up slightly in a Mona Lisa smile.  Everyone that visits just loves her and can't stop petting her.  Of course she soaks that up!  She'll be a wonderful addition to some lucky family.

FOSTER UPDATE 5/26/2010
Marsey's personality has really started to emerge. She loves watching her smaller foster sisters play and wrestle, and she even joins in now and then. She's so gentle with them, but loves to play pounce and then join in chasing around the house. We've had ducks in the front yard a couple of times, and Marsey gets very interested in them; she does her yodel-whine that always comes out when she is excited. She had been a little wary of meeting her MAGRR friends who live up the street, but now that they've been walking together regularly, she loves greeting the other dogs, and gets excited when she knows she is going to see them. This sweet girl has really become a happy, goofy, affectionate creature who lets you know just how much she loves you.

FOSTER UPDATE 4/22/2010
This sweet girl wants nothing more than a comfy house, a human of her own, and to be included in someone's life. Marsey is so happy since she has been at her foster home. She loves being loved, going for walks, riding in the car, chewing Nylabones and getting treats. She is so calm and well-behaved. Her eyes just sparkle and shine with her happiness at having a home. Marsey has met some Golden friends the last couple of weeks and was a little overwhelmed, but with a proper introduction and some acclimation time, she will do great with a furry companion. Her foster sisters just love her, and vice-versa. I moved her bed over next to mine, and you can see how happy she is to be close to me. And really, that's what Marsey wants most: a family to be close too.

FOSTER UPDATE 3/24/2010
Marsey arrived a week and a half ago to her foster home, and it has been like watching a sunbeam break through the gray clouds. This precious girl was so sad, sober, and shut off when she arrived that she usually went to a room by herself, and stayed there except for bathroom breaks. She didn't want to eat, although she was always ready for some Pupperoni, and her expression just broke my heart. But now Marsey is a new dog: she wags her tail and comes to greet me at the door, she loves pushing her head under my hand for pets, or to lay under my foot for some rubs. She sleeps on a blanket in the bedroom at night, has conquered her fear of the dog door, and can't wait for breakfast and dinner time. This weekend I got her to "say" please for her dinner, and last night I got a kiss from Marsey when I arrived home - both were firsts. She has met the neighborhood kids, and absolutely loved the attention and being rubbed. Marsey has changed so much; I sometimes can't believe she's the same dog. Marsey is still skittish around sudden movement, but she is a sweet, quiet, lovable girl who will bring her forever family so much love. She likes treats and Nylabones, is very well behaved, and gets along great with her smaller foster sister dogs. She would love to go for walks, but she has to stay quiet until her heartworm treatment is over. Marsey is one wonderful girl, who deserves a wonderful home.

Intake Report 3/4/2010
Marsey was found and the poor older girl taken to a very high kill shelter.  There she became very depressed and lost all hope.  Her eyes were pleading for redemption and along came the nice man from MAGRR and decided to give this girl a chance.  She was in terrible condition and very stoic but hopeful.  She went to our clinic and her new life began right away with a good bath, good food and good medical care.  She was treated for those nasty heartworms that someone allowed her to get when they are so easily prevented.  She is so much relieved that she has a second chance for a good life.  She goes to her foster home for more love and attention on 3/12/2010.  Watch for her to blossom.
