About Marcy rsta014910
Meet Marcy, a beautiful lady who has spent much of her life fending for herself on the streets, where every day was about survival. Understandably, Marcy is still a little hesitant when meeting new people or finding herself in unfamiliar surroundings. She's learning that life doesn't have to be so tough and that humans can offer kindness, comfort and, best of all, a lovely soft couch! She just needs a little time and patience to feel safe enough to let her gorgeous personality shine.
Since moving into foster care, Marcy has made wonderful progress. On her first day, she was quick to let her foster carers know they were approaching a little too fast, but once she realised she was safe, her affectionate side began to blossom. She's now quite the smoochy girl, happily giving headbutts for attention, enjoying a cuddle on the couch and even settling in for a lovely lap session. Marcy loves spending time relaxing beside her favourite humans and is discovering just how wonderful home life can be. She does prefer to keep all four paws on the ground, though, and isn't a fan of being picked up or handled unnecessarily.
Marcy's ideal forever home will be quiet, calm and predictable, with just one or two people and no children or other pets. She needs someone who understands that settling into a new home will take a little time and that she might be a little vocal while finding her feet. A gentle approach, plenty of patience and a comfortable couch with a welcoming lap will go a long way towards winning her heart.
Marcy has come such a long way from her days on the streets, and now it's her turn to experience the security and love of a forever home. If you're looking for a sweet, affectionate companion who enjoys quiet company, couch cuddles and plenty of lap time, Marcy could be your perfect match. Give her the time to trust, and she'll reward you with headbutts, smooches and a whole lot of love!
