Marley is a 4 yr old, large handsome boy who is well trained and easy going. He is a genuinely a medium energy dog who does well with a few walks a day or a gentle jog. He'd prefer a mellow lifestyle as he loves to cuddle, nap on the couch (or on a dog bed), and hang out with his humans. He has no separation anxiety so if you need to leave him he's relaxed and happy in a crate. He's also fine not crated (has never destroyed anything) and uses a dog door.
Marley is fully house trained, great in the car, and walks well on leash. As with many shepherds and herding breeds he has a strong prey drive, so a home without small children, small dogs or cats is best. He is well trained, but will need consistency and additional training to ensure that when his prey drive kicks in (squirrel on the path!) he takes his cues from you. His prey drive also surfaces when bicycles zoom past and he has a minor bite incident due to this. It wasn't aggression, just his deeply ingrained prey drive coming to the surface. This is a trait that can be suppressed through consistent training.
Marley's foster told us that he is a love bug and knows the commands sit, down, off, up, stay, shake, hold, drop, and his heel release command is 'free.' They also felt that Marley would do great as an only dog or with a gentle female.
If you love them big, loving, loyal, and eager to please then Marley is your boy! Come visit him at our facility, he's available for foster or adoption.

More about this rescue
The Milo Foundation is an established 501(c)(3) nonprofit, no-kill organization providing an alternative for homeless pets throughout California, through education, adoption services, and providing sanctuary for animals until permanent homes can be found.
Founded in August of 1994, The Milo Foundation Sanctuary is located on two hundred and eighty-three acres in Mendocino County - offering lots of room for the animals to run and play. The Milo Sanctuary animals typically (but not exclusively) are harder to adopt animals and those needing more rural type homes, such as dogs with social or behavioural challenges, feral cats, horses and other farm animals. The Milo Point Richmond Adoption Center is where the majority of our new rescue intake takes place, typically friendly, adoptable cats and dogs, puppies and kittens rescued from shelters where they were facing euthanasia. The Sanctuary is where highly active or reactive dogs can go and have plenty of space, other canine companions (if they are dog friendly) and live in a stress free environment until such time as the right adoption match can be found.
The Milo Sanctuary is what enables Milo to be a No-Kill organization. Milo brings dogs back and forth from the Adoption Center (MPR) to the Sanctuary to give dogs a break from the stresses of the kennel environment and back to MPR later to try again at being adopted. Potential adopters also do come up to the Sanctuary to adopt, by appointment.
