Story
Marcel is a 2.5-year-old standard poodle who weighs 45 pounds. Born and raised in an Amish puppy mill, Marcel's early life was far from ideal. He spent his formative months in a confined, stressful environment where his primary role was to be used for breeding. Despite these tough beginnings, Marcel's gentle nature has always shone through.
Marcel is naturally skittish, a trait shaped by his limited exposure to the outside world and human interaction. Loud noises and sudden movements can easily startle him, but beneath this nervous exterior lies a sweet and loving soul. With a soft touch and kind words, Marcel quickly warms up, showing his gentle disposition.
Now, Marcel is making significant strides in his new life outside the mill. He is adapting well to crate training, finding a sense of security in his own space. This small, safe haven helps him feel more comfortable as he learns about the world around him.
Every day, Marcel shows progress. With patience and care, he is slowly discovering the joys of being a cherished pet rather than a breeding dog. His journey is one of resilience and hope, as he learns to trust, love, and be loved in return.
Marcel is currently being fostered in the Cincinnati, OH area. His adoption fee is $450.00.
To adopt this animal, please visit https://www.louieslegacy.org/adopt
All of our animals come spayed or neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, are microchipped, heartworm negative, current on flea/tick and heartworm prevention, dewormed, and treated for any ailments found upon veterinary examination. The adoption fee covers a portion of these services, and makes it possible for us to continue rescuing animals.
For more information on the adoption fees and the adoption process, please complete our adoption application here: https://www.louieslegacy.org/adopt - an application allows us to get to know your family better so we can assess whether the animal you are interested in is a good match for your home. An application does not obligate you to adopt. Please understand that due to the volume of applications some animals receive, we are unable to contact all applicants. If your application is considered a good fit for the animal you are interested in, or even a different pet, a volunteer will give you a call as soon as possible.
We are a foster based rescue and do not have a shelter location where animals can be seen during the week. Please see our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/LouiesLegacy for our weekly adoption album if you are interested in meeting an animal in person. Not all animals attend every adoption event, please check our Facebook page for animal event times and locations before you make a trip to meet a specific animal.
