This is Marcy. A friend of mine's neighbor got this puppy for their kids( 5 and 7) and left her in a crate in a dark garage all night crying because they didn't want her in the house doing what puppies do-chew up everything. My friend couldn't stand listening to her cry all night long and went over one morning and said "Give me the dog" Since she had just chewed up their cable connection they gave her up. She was 7 months old at the time, had none of her shots or anything. She barely reacted to her name. This is her 2 1/2 years later.
