Check out our sister brand, Kinship, for vet chat, a nutrition calculator, basic obedience training, and (much) more. So you're never flying solo in this pet parenting thing.
Marcie is about 12 weeks old and currently weighs about 3 pounds, with an expected adult size of about 7 pounds. Extremely tiny and fragile. Her coat looks Havanese, straight white with some black spots, long and soft. She was matted and has been shaved down, but she still has hair on her head and will be absolutely gorgeous when her hair grows out. She is adorable!
Marcie is sight-impaired. Both eyes cloudy, but one eye is clearer than the other. She has some vision now, but may eventually be blind. She needs to see a veterinary ophthalmologist for an assessment. She's just a baby and is very dependent on her human. She is most comfortable and relaxed when being held but will stay in her crate without complaining. She uses potty pads currently in a large, corralled area which is attached to a large, covered crate with bedding. We also take her out to potty regularly so she can learn to potty outside, but she is a puppy, and a bit young yet to expect potty training success. We have a heated pad we turn on at night to keep her warm. She is so fragile and, without any hair currently, she gets cold easily. We put t-shirts on her to keep her warm, but she seems to slither out of them because she is so small.
Because of her size she is fearful of many dogs, especially those larger than her (which is pretty much all of them), however she is playing nicely with another puppy here at the moment. She has not been tested around cats. Marcie will require focused attention in her new home since she is a baby and so fragile. This could be a great match for a therapy situation, or a home-bound or handicapped person who wants the companionship of a gentle lap dog. She may be problematic for seniors as she tends to go towards their feet to be picked up and, since she is so tiny and vision-impaired, she could be stepped on or tripped over. For these reasons, we also do not recommend a home with young children.
Marcie is not yet spayed, and her adopter will be contractually responsible for her spay when she is old enough. Only applicants within driving distance from Roseville will be considered.
If you are interested in meeting and possibly adopting Marcie, the first step is to submit an adoption application. Please go to our website; www.k9bestfriendsforever.com and click on "Adopt" which will take you to our online application form.

More about this rescue
Our goal is to rescue at-risk dogs and place them in stable, loving, and permanent homes.
Through no fault of their own, these dogs find themselves in shelters or with guardians who can no longer care for them. We believe each dog is special and deserves to be cherished and protected. We are dedicated to helping find these loyal companions a permanent home and a second chance at life.
K9BFF is supported solely by donations from you. If you would like to sponsor this pet and provide for its food, accessories, and supplies for one month (approx. $40) please visit Paypal.com and send your tax-deductible donation to k9bff@hotmail.com.
We are also registered with Mission Fish (on Ebay).
Ebay sellers can donate a percentage of their sales to K9BFF at listing time and Ebay will keep track of the donations and payments for them.
