* * Adopted! * *
Marcy is a very gentle and affectionate girl who has probably never known what it feels like to have a caring human love her, that is until she came into rescue. Marcy needs someone with big heart and the patience to show her what love is and help her put her sad past behind her. She is one of 4 Beagles who joined the Safe Hounds rescue family after being removed from a neglectful backyard breeder by the NJSPCA. She is about 5 yrs. old and has probably spent most of those years living outdoors in a raised pen that resembled a rabbit hutch.
Marcy a bit shy, but enjoys attention and loves to be petted. Her favorite toy is a rope bone which she likes to carry with her wherever she goes. She enjoys chewing Nylabones and playing with "squeeky" toys as well. We've begun teaching Marcy the basics and although she is crate-trained she will need reinforcement with housebreaking.
Marcy's health had been neglected for several years and unfortunately she was infected with heartworms when she came into rescue. She was treated in Feb. '07. With the care she has been receiving, we are confident she will make a complete recovery. Marcy has epilepsy (idiopathic) and requires daily medication, which has been very effective in managing her "petit mal" seizures. Her medication costs about $10 month.
Marcy is now up-to-date on routine vaccinations, already spayed, microchipped and also had a much needed dental cleaning.
