In the shelter’s words

Adoption Donation $399 Located: New England Age: approx 7-9 years old Weight: 11 lbs. Mark Anthony and his siblings were rescued from a breeder, where they spent years living in crates and never had the opportunity to experience the love, comfort, and security of a real family. Because of his difficult past, Mark Anthony is still learning what it means to feel safe and loved—but the progress he has made in such a short amount of time has been truly incredible. Mark would do best in a home as an only dog or with another submissive. He is exhibiting some resource guarding. No young children. He is working on leash walking and housetraining. He will sometimes use pee pads, but accidents should be expected as he continues to learn this new skill. He can still be very timid and is considered a flight risk until you get to know each other. He should be kept securely on a leash or in a safely fenced yard. More than anything, Mark Anthony loves the simple comforts he is discovering for the first time. He enjoys relaxing in his bed, playing with toys and, when he feels comfortable, snuggling up beside his person on the couch. Watching him slowly learn to enjoy these little moments is incredibly rewarding. He has recently been diagnosed with hypothyroid and will need a small dose of an inexpensive medication daily for the rest of his life. Mark Anthony also has skin allergies and needs either regular meds or shots to keep his licking and itching at bay. Mark Anthony needs a patient, compassionate, and understanding home willing to let him progress at his own pace. He has already come so far in such a short time, and we can only imagine how much more he will blossom once he knows he is home. With time, patience, consistency, and lots of love, Mark Anthony has the potential to discover just how wonderful life as a cherished family member can be.

Because we save lives from various locations through out the United States, some dogs may not be in New England yet, nor ready for immediate adoption. ​
