Mardi

My story

Proud recipient of the Most Smooshable, Kissable, Squeezable, Outrageously Cute Face in the World award and puppy dog eye perfector, Mardi, is currently accepting applications and scheduling interviews to determine which home will have the great privilege and honor of being her family. Her appearance suggests Boxer and Terrier breeds in her lineage, but Mardi's beautiful, expressive, award-winning pouty punum has a mysterious past. A young teenager of a pup, estimated only to be 10-12 months old, she was running the busy streets of Chicago alone. Found as a stray and taken in by a good samaritan on Mardi Gras and never claimed, this lovely puppy exudes a vibrant, joyful, live life to the fullest energy that embodies the spirit of the festival and celebration that commenced the day of her rescue. There was no name for this girl other than Miss Mardi Gras, the absolute life of the puppy party. Mardi is a highly affectionate, social, playful, cheerful, and sweet dog who wants nothing more than her own family. An active, engaging, and fun-loving household looking to welcome a new member into the family will find no better friend and sidekick than Mardi. She is housebroken and seemingly had some minimal training in the past and came to us knowing a few simple commands. She has a solid foundation, however, she is still a very young, high-energy, occasionally mischevious adolescent dog who is best matched with humans who are prepared, equipped, and committed to continuing Mardi's training and providing the exercise, guidance, structure, consistency, and boundaries all young dogs need to develop into mature canine good citizens. Mardi is extremely intelligent, and her curious, inquisitive, eager to learn and please nature make training sessions a breeze and working with her a lot of fun. She is being fostered with several other dogs and enjoys the company of her fellow canines. She'll make an excellent playmate for an existing dog with a similar energy level and full-contact play style. She craves an abundant amount of exercise and playtime throughout the day, but once she's had a chance to burn off some energy, Mardi loves nothing more than a good snuggle cuddle party on the couch with her humans. Miss Mardi is eagerly waiting to meet her new best friend and would love to meet you today!
