Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Marley 2yr 10 months old Maltese Bichon Male
Marley came to us via a young couple who were walking their dog in San Diego and this bedraggled heavily matted flea/tick ridden little dog followed them. That was New Year’s Eve, 2016, he has been in foster care since.
Marley loves to play, and really LOVES his toys, if you come to visit Marley and want to be his best friend, just bring him a squeaky toy, he will love you. He is crate trained, and walks very nicely on the leash, is not destructive in the home and is housebroken.
Marley likes to always see you approaching him, when picking him up he likes the gentle touch, although he has greatly improved, he just needs to trust. We have no idea of what Marley has been through. He does know his come, sit and stay. He will shine if given the opportunity to be signed up for further training in obedience classes.
Marley has been around older children, and is fine with guidance from adults who have pack leadership qualities, needs to be in a home with no toddlers or small children and possibly with someone who is works part-time. Marley needs to be the ONLY DOG in the home, (even though he can with a lot of guidance and patience get along with another small female dog), and NO CATS.
If you would like to meet Marley and feel you are qualified, he will be happy to interview you. Marley is being fostered in Gilroy.
