Hey everyone! I'm Marcella! I'm named after Marcella Hayes. I am a six month old, spayed shepherd girl. I'm extremely cute and silly and when I get older I will be a very beautiful and majestic grownup shepherd. I'm super brave already and I go toward the things that scare me, instead of running away. I have thick wavy luxurious hair down my back and could be a supermodel. Also I am very humble. I am really smart, sweet, and love to cuddle! I am a typical active working breed puppy; I play hard and would like another dog to play with who doesn't mind roughhousing. My foster dog family taught me how to play with a ball, and I love playing fetch! It's a good way to burn my puppy energy. I like to chase kitties but I don't try to hurt them, even though they are very sneaky. There I am, doing my important puppy stuff, not bothering anybody, when suddenly a cat has been sitting there the whole time! Scares the daylights out of me! They sleep on the people bed with me at night and we all get along fine. I love to snooze on the bed and cuddle! Because I am so smart and shepherdy, my ideal family will be active, firm, and fair and not let me get away with bad behaviors. I am still learning my manners and that people don't like to be chewed on like toys. I am also working on potty training, so I'll need to have a proactive family who takes me out before I really need to go. I am learning to tell people when I need to go. At night I can usually wait the whole night until around 6am. I am also getting the hang of my crate, but I don't love it, especially when everyone disappears from view! I like to be around my family at all times to make sure they're safe. The most important thing for you to know about me is that I love eating gingersnap cookies. And all the other food. Every food is what I love. I am being fostered near Raleigh, NC. If you need a very adorable and silly and brave puppy to protect you and take you for walks, please talk to your adoption coordinator.
