It is hard to believe how Marcella could have endured her miserable existence for 7 years, especially as she obviously suffered greatly from the noise and stress levels of where she was. Not daring to meet our gaze, she tries to hide in a dilapidated dog house. Marcella is an extremely sensitive but traumatized dog. The male, Matus, suffers from joint pain, and we really wanted to enable him to live out the rest of his life in safety and comfort (TROPFEN, Spring 2023). Welcome to our Doris Zinn sanctuary.
