Background:
Meet Moonlight Marva, a resilient and joyful pup with a heart full of love! Marva was found as a stray in rural Tennessee, bravely dragging herself around despite her severe condition. After X-rays revealed severe bone infections spreading to her hips, it was clear her legs couldn’t be saved. However, this courageous girl wasn’t using her legs anyway, so they were removed, and she has adapted wonderfully.
Personality:
Marva is a true testament to resilience. Despite her past, she’s a bundle of joy and adorable. Her cheerful disposition is contagious, and she’s always happy to be alive and surrounded by loving people.
Special Care:
Marva does require some assistance due to her special needs:
Urinating: She needs help with urination, which involves expressing her bladder. This is a simple task, especially given her small size.
Bowel Movements: While Marva can defecate on her own, she lacks control. However, maintaining a regular schedule and a high-quality diet makes this easy to manage.
Why Marva is Special:
Don’t let her special needs deter you. Marva can do almost everything other dogs can do; she needs a little extra help. She’s a shining example of perseverance and will bring immense joy to any home willing to give her the love and care she deserves.
Considerations:
Marva’s condition requires a compassionate and dedicated owner who can commit to her care routine. In return, you’ll get a loyal and loving companion who will fill your life with joy and gratitude.
Adopt Moonlight Marva:
If you’re looking for a dog who embodies the spirit of overcoming adversity and can offer endless love, look no further than Moonlight Marva. Give this special girl the forever home she deserves; she’ll reward you with unconditional love and happiness.
