A dog with writing on her was rescued by a shelter and is now looking for her forever home.

According to Ross County Humane Society in Chillicothe, Ohio, the dog was abandoned in a nearby park and was covered in phrases written in permanent marker.

"Free," "Good home only" and "I am a gift from God" can be seen scribbled on her side and face.

The pup is a lab mix that is about 5 to 6 months old, humane society workers told ABC affiliate WSYX.

Workers named the puppy "Marvella," which means miracle.

The shelter was able to get a majority of the permanent marker off the Marvella's fur.

She will be up for adoption on Wednesday.
