Do you have a window? Can you see birds or squirrels outside of said window? Then meet Mariska - aka Mari! Mari is a sweet, silly, snuggley and social girl who loves to watch reality tv out the window! She loves a game of tug and loves to take out all the toys to check out each one and have them easily accessible to play throughout the day! Mari is a social butterfly with people, loving meeting people outside on walks or inside her foster home - bonus points if they give her lots of scritches and treats. Mari is a foodie at heart - and does not discriminate if offered a treat (and she'll even catch it mid-air if thrown to her). Mari is an independent queen, who also wants to be where the action is - she often wants to be as close as possible to her people (especially if that's on the couch or on the bed that gives her a good view to be on squirrel watch out the window), but happily does her own thing in her crate or on the couch when her social battery runs low. Mari loves long walks where she can take her time sniffing, practicing obedience tricks and exploring the world, but she’s also a cozy girl at heart. She's a smart cookie and loves enrichment toys, and easily puts herself in her crate when her foster mom needs to leave the home. After an adventure, she’s happiest curled up for a nap, snuggled under a fuzzy blanket right by your side (or on top of your legs). Now that the weather's getting nice, Mari's happy to have a long walk in the park or a nap on the couch with a good book. On a warm day, Mariska has discovered her love of a garden hose - playing with the water while doormen hose down the sidewalks or water plants, she loves to take a drink or play with the water - but she'll settle for the water from the faucet in the bath or shower (and sometimes prefers it).
