Marnie is an 11.5-year-old Lhasa/Apso mix with plenty of years under her fur and the wisdom to prove it. She first came to SCCR as a sprightly 5-year-old stray, and now, after the passing of her elderly owner, this little old lady is back with us, looking for her next forever home.

Like any sophisticated senior, Marnie thrives on a well-timed routine and prefers to keep things slow and steady. Stairs? Not for this golden girl—her knees aren’t what they used to be. Crates? Please, she’s no spring chicken and will voice her disapproval with a chorus of barks. She’s also hearing impaired, so sometimes she needs a little extra patience, but give her the freedom to roam the house at her own pace, and she’ll be as content as a grandma in a rocking chair.

Marnie enjoys her slow strolls around the block, or better yet, meandering through the yard, taking her sweet time like any little old lady window-shopping on Main Street. She's always by your side, ready to lend a comforting presence during your cozy nights in with a good book. She’s great with grown children, though we’re not quite sure how she feels about little ones or cats—they might interrupt her beauty rest!

With Marnie, you'll have a lap warmer, a seasoned companion, and a lovely little lady who brings a touch of grace and those signature 3-inch lashes. Adopt this golden gal, and your days will be filled with slow walks, warm snuggles, and the sweet silence of her gentle companionship.

We love our dogs. We want happy lives for all of them and are looking for the home that provides the best fit for each dog’s individual needs. Please understand that there may be multiple families interested in this dog. Come to the show to find out if this dog is the right fit for you — it's helpful to bring all family members and current dogs.

Also, please know that the breed mix listed is simply a guess. In most cases, we don’t know their background. We encourage you to base your decision on individual personality and pet qualities instead of relying on our guess.

Please understand, we only adopt our animals out near the Chicagoland area. Questions? Email us at adoptions@sccrescue.org. Hope to see you become part of the SCCR family!
