About Marci

My name is Marci. I am an 18-month old Labrador Retriever/Swiss Shepherd-mix. I am at my target weight (about 70 pounds), and my foster family calls me a 'long-legged beauty.' I am looking for a quiet life with someone I can give my loyal and loving heart to forever. I'm a sweet and affectionate girl, sensitive and a bit serious and shy. I have a silly side - when I wake up in the morning, I'll chase my tail until I'm staggering, and I do somersaults off the sofa (not always intentionally!). For some reason, I'm fascinated by the shower, and would willingly climb in with you. My bright eyes dance when I can entice you into playing keep-away, catch, or tug-a-war with me. I love all other dogs, especially little ones, and they like me, too - I have excellent doggy manners. I can take a little more time to warm up to humans and am suspicious of strangers. A few minutes after I meet someone new, I will start bringing them my toys, and we will be fast friends. I am a favorite at doggy daycare. I also get along fine with indoor cats. I am told that I'm absolutely perfect in the house, with no bad habits. I quickly learned to jingle a bell on the back door when I want to go outside. I love running around in the backyard and keeping it free from squirrels. I bark to alert my family to strangers, but then calm down quickly. I love walks on wooded trails or the beach; busy city neighborhoods aren't for me. Riding in the car is great! I can stay home alone for a couple of hours; it's not my favorite thing, but I don't carry on or tear anything up. I am agile and playful and love my toys. A raw bone or stuffed Kong are my favorite treats. I'm a fast learner and have been going to basic obedience classes with my foster family. After just a few lessons, I learned sit, down, wait, stay, and come. My ideal family would have at least one other dog (or regular dog visitors), and live a quiet life in a suburb or the country, with a large, fenced yard where I can frolic and do squirrel patrol. The gender of my human or humans doesn't matter. I haven't been around kids, but I think I'd be fine if properly introduced. I do well with a routine; I like to know what to expect. My energy level is adaptable, but I'm still a puppy and need some exercise or playtime daily. At night, I'd like a cozy sofa to snuggle up on next to you.
