Marcie, our 2 year old 11 pound Chiweenie, was found by the side of a busy road. She was limping, so the shelter staff worried Marcie had been hit by a car. Since helping injured dogs is our passion (in case we haven't made that clear), we happily took her in. Great news, the limp quickly resolved. She wasn't badly injured after all! Less good news? Our Marcie was pregnant.
Marcie did a fantastic job raising her puppies, and the Refreshment Litter have all found their homes. Since it takes 8 weeks to raise puppies, we've had a lot of time to get to know Marcie. It's not an exaggeration to say she's an A+ breed-standard Chiweenie. Now that Marcie is healed from her spay, it's time to find her a home too.
If you've ever known a Chiweenie, you know that they love their people. Marcie is happiest around humans and befriends everyone easily (even kids!). She is cuddly, playful, gentle and is up for doing whatever her humans are doing. In fact, Marcie may insist on being included.
At home, Marcie is crate and potty trained. She is good with other dogs and cats. Marcie's interests include squeaky toys, sunbathing, snacks and squirrel contemplation. Out and about, Marcie is working on her leash manners. She excitedly barks at other dogs that she wants to meet. Since Marcie is smart and very food motivated, we suspect she'll quickly learn how to be more subtle about wanting to make friends.
Marcie is heartworm negative and current on her flea and heartworm preventatives. We cleaned her teeth when we spayed her so they are as pearly white as the designer spot on her chest.
