My story

Meet Marianne – A Gentle Soul Ready to Bloom Breed: Shepherd MixAge: 7 MonthsSex: Female (Spayed)Location: PNW foster home (rescued from Roswell, NM)Adoption Fee: $500Trial Offered: 20-day foster-to-adopt trial to ensure the right fit Marianne is a quiet, soulful puppy with a heart full of love — she just needs a little time and patience to show it. This 7-month-old shepherd mix is incredibly sweet and mellow, but she’s also shy and still learning how to trust, especially around men. Her ideal home will give her the gentle reassurance and space she needs to feel safe. Why we’re offering a 20-day trial:Marianne is worth the wait. Her journey has left her cautious, but once she begins to feel secure, her soft and loving personality shines. We want to give her — and you — the chance to ease into the relationship with support and patience. Marianne must go to a home with another dog — this is not just a preference, but a need. Having a friendly, calm dog by her side gives her the confidence she needs to explore the world and build trust with people. She blossoms in the presence of a canine companion. Her Ideal Home: A calm, low-pressure environment A resident dog to help her feel safe, confident, and connected A cat? That’s fine — she’s respectful and keeps her distance Men in the home? Yes — with time, patience, and soft interactions A kind human willing to go at her pace and celebrate her quiet victories Marianne is potty trained, improving on leash, and loves quietly collecting her toys like little treasures. She doesn’t seek attention — but her calm, gentle presence is incredibly comforting, and her loyalty is deeply rewarding once earned. If you’re the kind of person who finds joy in helping a shy dog grow into her full, beautiful self — and if you have a resident dog to help lead the way — Marianne may be your perfect match. She won’t rush into your arms, but one day, she’ll lay her head on your shoulder — and in that moment, you’ll know she chose you. Apply at: www.northwestwagrescue.org $500 Adoption fee www.northwestwagrescue.org ##2397650##

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Marianne, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
