This week, we introduced Stella, a brave Frenchie mama found in dire condition by a kind-hearted Good Samaritan. Despite her rough start, she safely delivered one tiny, precious puppy—Marlon.
From the moment he arrived, teeny Marlon was deeply loved. His foster mom provided round-the-clock care, bottle-feeding him every two hours and giving him all the warmth and affection he could possibly receive. Unfortunately, Stella developed an infection shortly after giving birth and was unable to care for him. Though his foster mom fought tirelessly to help him grow strong, Marlon’s little body just wasn’t able to keep up. At just over two weeks old, he crossed the rainbow bridge.

Though his time with us was heartbreakingly short, Marlon knew love every single day of his life. Run free, sweet boy.
