Miss Marpel

SOS Forgotten Paws e.V.

Hello world! My name is Miss Marpel, I was born in November 2024, and at 50 cm tall, I'm a delicate, gentle creature with light, short fur and soft, spotted floppy ears. I escaped the kill shelter, but my past is still in my bones – deep down, I'm a genuinely friendly soul, but I often react to new things with fear and reserve. Having dogs around me gives me a great sense of security; I get along well with them, and cats are also welcome in my new home, provided the introduction is calm, thoughtful, and patient. Since I often still react fearfully, my new family should ideally include teenagers who respect my pace and treat me with calmness and understanding. Anyone who gives a home to a dog like me takes on a very special role: You're not just giving a dog a place, but showing an insecure creature, step by step, that the world can be a safe place. An anxious dog needs, above all, rock-solid structure, calm, and people from its family who expect nothing but are simply there and offer guidance. To master this path together, you should internalize the 3-3-3 rule. Patience is paramount, as a complete settling-in period is not linear but often takes many weeks. It's perfectly normal for minor setbacks to occur after great progress, and for skittishness to reappear. We'll also learn the basics of dog training – from relaxed leash walking and housebreaking to the first commands – entirely without pressure and at my own pace. If you are ready to take this path of small steps with me, I will thank you with deep loyalty and trust. May I come and find peace with you? I am being rehomed through the animal welfare organization SOS Forgotten Paws e.V. with a protection contract and for a protection fee of €570. I am, of course, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, and neutered. I am also already registered with Tasso. A suitable and new safety harness with leash must be purchased through our club. This starter kit ensures that I feel safe, secure, and well cared for from the very beginning.
