Gimme’ Shelter: Marie at the Providence Animal Control Center

Hi! I’m Marie, a very sweet, affectionate and gentle dog. I was someone’s someone even though I came to PAC as a stray. I may be a bit timid/shy in new situations until I warm up but then I’m all yours. I also think I’m dog friendly because I say hi to all my neighbors. I sniffed multiple dogs through kennel doors with loose and wiggly body language, so, go me! I am a very polite girl when approaching my people, I don’t jump or mouth. I do know some basic cues such as sit which I offer on my own, I’m so cool! What’s better than a well adjusted middle-aged doggo? Nothing that I can think of! I am about 5 or 6 years old 🙂

About the Providence Animal Control Division

The Providence Animal Control Division protects the health and safety of our residents and their pets with progressive leadership and education, and continues to engage the hearts and minds of the community to help all animals.

As of November 2015, the Animal Control Division has adopted a “low risk euthanasia” philosophy of healthy adoptable animals and will continue to improve the live release rate of shelter animals via adoptions, returning strays to their owners, transferring animals to rescues, TNR, programs/services and treating medical cases. We believe that with progressive programs, we can have a more humane City. Through our Gimme Shelter program, PAC is spaying and neutering owned and feral cats for Providence residents. To participate please send a message through our Facebook page at Providence Animal Care Center.
