Story
Meet Marionette! DOB: 06/30/2023Weight: 26lbs.Disposition: Happy, resilient, and affectionate dog who has embraced life as a tripod with confidence. She is friendly, adaptable, and gentle, enjoying being around people and forming close bonds. Despite everything she has been through, she maintains a positive outlook and approaches life with a calm, easygoing nature.History: Marionette arrived at Soi Dog Foundation’s shelter on April 24, 2025, following a road traffic accident. Upon arrival, she was found to have a severe open fracture with necrotic tissue in her left forelimb, which required amputation to relieve pain and improve her quality of life.In July 2025, Marionette developed a corneal ulcer in her left eye, which healed fully with treatment. She also tested positive for canine distemper virus (CDV) but made a full recovery after intensive care and quarantine, with no lasting clinical signs. Additionally, she was treated for a yeast skin infection, which resolved with medication and medicated baths.At present day she is healthy, with normal blood work, and moves comfortably on her three legs without pain. She was brought to TBL in February 2026 to find her forever home.Best Home :Marionette would do best in a loving home with a couple, individual or family with kids that understands the needs of a tripod dog. Maintaining a healthy weight will be important to support her mobility, and adopters should be attentive to any signs of discomfort as she ages. A home that can provide regular veterinary care, good hygiene, and a comfortable environment will help her continue to thrive.She would do well with adopters who can offer patience, care, and plenty of love—whether in a calm home or a moderately active one that matches her abilities. Most importantly, Marionette is looking for a family who will cherish her for the incredible, resilient dog she is. Amazing Qualities: Brave, strong, inspiring Marionette’s resilience truly sets her apart. She has overcome significant challenges and continues to thrive as a confident tripod who doesn’t let her past slow her down. Her loving and gentle personality makes her a wonderful companion, and her ability to bounce back from hardship shows just how special she is. Marionette is the kind of dog who will form a deep bond with her family and bring joy to those around her.If you're interested in meeting this dog, please visit our website to fill out an adoption application: www.thebarkinglot.net/adoptOur dogs are located in San Diego County, CA.
