The four-year-old dog, named Marikaki, has spent more than two years in foster care, watching other dogs come and go while her own happy ending remains out of reach.‌But despite being overlooked for so long, Marikaki has remained a sweet, loving and gentle girl who is simply waiting for someone to give her a place to call home. Now, her rescuers are hoping her heartbreaking wait can finally come to an end. The Kokoni mix weighs around 12kg, making her a lovely small-to-medium-sized companion - and she already has many of the qualities adopters are looking for.‌She is fully house-trained, travels well in the car and gets along brilliantly with other dogs, cats and people. Her rescuers describe her as exceptionally sweet, gentle, loving and reliable - and say she is completely ready to become someone's devoted companion.‌Marikaki, who is up for adoption with Greek Stray ResQ, is also fully vetted, vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed, and has everything she needs to prepare for her journey to a new home. She is even eligible to travel to the UK.She deserves her own sofa, her own routine and, most importantly, a family who will love her for the rest of her life.‌Commenting on her rehoming post, one user said: "She just needs to find her human!
