Timeline:

September: Marcy was picked up as a stray at the Carson Animal Shelter. She was held for a few days to give her owners a chance to get her, and during that time she caught "kennel cough", a very contagious infection that is rampant in shelters. She was tagged to be euthanized because it takes about 2 weeks to recover from it, and they could not put her up for adoption with it. Cathy Rubin of Rover Rescue stepped in and worked with the shelter to rescue Marcy, and paid to have her boarded while she recovered from the kennel cough. Marcy was described as a "terrier mix" at the shelter, but upon further examination I believe she is a Glen of Imaal Terrier, an Irish dog that was added to the AKC's list of dog breeds in 2005.

October: On October 4th, Marcy was spayed. She was cared for by Foster Mom #1, and recovered beautifully from her surgery. Not realizing how young Marcy is, her foster mom had some difficulty with her housetraining. Her stitches were removed on Oct. 22nd and that same day she was transfered to Foster Mom #2 (me) because I have a dog training background and could work on her housetraining and socialize her with other dogs.

Marcy's doing great. For details on her, see the other posts.

Marcy is available through Rover Rescue, at
