Give a warm welcome to our newest little puppy, Marci! ​​​​​​Marci is 4 months old and weighs about four pounds. She was surrendered to FBRN by her breeder when she started to exhibit developmental issues. Marci will be visiting our vet very soon so we can learn more about her health and what special needs she might have.

While she may have special needs, it doesn’t stop her from being a fun loving, silly little Frenchie puppy. She loves to run around the yard at her foster home and rolls around in the grass like any other puppy. She has a healthy appetite and spends her time tossing her toys around in her puppy pen. She is eager to meet the other dogs in her foster home and will be slowly introduced to them once she has settled in more.

While we are still waiting for an official diagnosis from our vet, what we can currently observe is that Marci’s back legs appear to splay out like frog legs more so than the average puppy and she is a bit wobbly on them. Marci is also small for her age and was the runt of her litter. Additionally, she has an expanded belly and is not gaining weight as she should be.

Marci will most likely be in foster care for a bit since we need to determine how to best support her development so she can live her best life. If you would like to sponsor little Marci and help us cover the cost of her care, please click on the link next her photo at the top of this page. She sends you puppy kisses and lots of love!
