Name: Moonlight MarvaAge: 6 years of age approxWeight: 11 lbsBackground:Meet Moonlight Marva, a resilient and joyful pup with a heart full of love! Marva was found as a stray in rural Tennessee, bravely dragging herself around despite her severe condition.

However, this courageous girl wasn’t using her legs anyway, so they were removed, and she has adapted wonderfully.Personality:Marva is a true testament to resilience. Despite her past, she’s a bundle of joy and adorable. Her cheerful disposition is contagious, and she’s always happy to be alive and surrounded by loving people.Special Care:Marva does require some assistance due to her special needs:Urinating: She needs help with urination, which involves expressing her bladder. This is a simple task, especially given her small size.Bowel Movements: While Marva can defecate on her own, she lacks control. However, maintaining a regular schedule and a high-quality diet makes this easy to manage.Why Marva is Special:Don’t let her special needs deter you. Marva can do almost everything other dogs can do; she needs a little extra help. She’s a shining example of perseverance and will bring immense joy to any home willing to give her the love and care she deserves.Considerations:Marva’s condition requires a compassionate and dedicated owner who can commit to her care routine. In return, you’ll get a loyal and loving companion who will fill your life with joy and gratitude.Adopt Moonlight Marva:If you’re looking for a dog who embodies the spirit of overcoming adversity and can offer endless love, look no further than Moonlight Marva.
