Are you Marcy's "ideal adopter"?

Marcy's ideal new home has the following characteristics:

- Is willing to appreciate that special enthusiasm, energy and curiosity that comes with a puppy (and is willing to provide the appropriate levels of supervision and crating that come with that).

- Is not going to leave Marcy alone for more than 3 hours a day. If Marcy has another dog in the home, this would not be an issue. But she'd be miserable being totally alone more than 3 hours a day.

- If there are children in the home, they are over 5 years old. This is because (1) puppies and younger children often play like two puppies, which results in the child getting nipped, (2) if Marcy jumped up on a toddler, the toddler could fall down and be upset. An upset toddler results in an upset parent. Children under five are not a good idea with a puppy.

- Has a household where leaving doors open (allowing dogs to run outside without permission) is not a factor. If there are multiple kids coming and going, doors will inevitably be left open, and this dog may well get out and become lost.

- Is willing to continue her crate training. Crate training is for more than just housetraining-- having a crate-trained dog allows you to take your dog with on vacation, and is essential in the event of a serious disaster like an earthquate, fire, etc.

- Would be open to continuing her obedience training, preferably using a class and instructor that uses positive reinforcement methods (clicker training!). This dog does not ever need a choke chain or a prong collar.

If you fit this profile and would like to meet Marcy, we'd like to hear from you! If you know someone else who fits this profile who is interested in having a dog, please, tell them about Marcy! Thank you!
