Marcie - Pit Bull Terrier and Hound Dog for Adoption in Plainfield, Illinois

Meet Marcie, a 10-12 week old Pitt/ Hound mix, currently weighing in at 24#. Marcie hitched a ride on the freedom van just in time before being pulled for euthanasia. She has been adjusting to life in a home and learning how to be a dog. Marcie has been in a foster home with kids age aged 12 - 15 years old, a 100# dog, 2 cats and a guinea pig. Marcie is a social butterfly and loves humans of all ages. She also thrives on the companionship and direction of another dog and is learning how to play appropriately during her teething era. She is pleasantly curious about cats, but has been respectful and takes their cues. As a puppy, Marcie has been doing great with potty training and is slowly adjusting to a crate, which will need to be continued in her forever home. We are also working on her learning to use her inner voice instead of barking when she wants something. This has been improving with exercise outdoors, enrichment toys and working with her on practicing patience! If you are ready for all things puppy, then Marcie is your gal!

The adoption fee of $500 will include spay/neuter, microchip, age-appropriate/required vaccinations, treatment for heartworm, and any other necessary medical treatment to ensure a healthy new pup for your family. IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Although we do our best to describe the breed, since our pups all come from shelters, we can not and will not make any guarantee on breed or size. We can tell you that they are 100% RESCUED! And that is the BEST breed!

*Please note that we are a foster home-based rescue and we do home visits as part of the adoption process - we are unable to adopt to families who live outside of the Chicago and surrounding suburbs. Thank you for your understanding.
