Four years ago, there was a little pup that fought for her life all alone on the side of the road while humans all around her evacuated due to Hurricane Ida. A passerby saw her and scooped her up, which surely saved her life. Having been a long time volunteer in animal rescue, her rescuer brought her home to CO and then reached out to MHCR for help. It didn’t take long for sweet, little, Roo’s dreams to come true. A wonderful family adopted her.
Unfortunately, during the last couple of years, Roo, now known as Mara, began to not enjoy living with the other dog in the home. Now. Right before the holidays, she found herself without her family, and without her home.
Mara is now around 4.5-5 years old. She’s in need of a foster or adoptive home as the only dog. Until then, she awaits her forever in a boarding facility. Mara is overweight, but once she sheds a few lbs she will fit into the medium/large category size. She’s house trained, crate trained, and trustworthy free roam.
Here’s what her family said about her, and undoubtedly what she misses the most: “Mara loves cuddling more than anything. She mostly enjoys cuddling on the couch in your “pocket” (in between your legs). She will bury her head underneath pillows and blankets, and if she is able to sleep in the bed, then she will bury herself under the covers and snuggle up next to you in the cold months. She loves playing frisbee, tug of war, fetch with balls and sticks, and catching snowballs!”
The cold months are upon us. Can you help us warm Mara’s heart?
Apply to adopt or foster!
