My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Marlo (A137246) is a 1-year-3-month-old shepherd mix who weighed just over 50 lbs at intake!

02/03/25 Update from foster: Marlo aka Miss Marls Barkley is doing FABULOUS in foster! She was said to be super sweet and has done great with the other animals in her foster home (including dogs of all sizes and cats)! She is very curious and has some escape artist tendencies. She has objected strongly to being kenneled and has busted out. She has also been eying up the fence. Her foster did feel that enrolling in her a basic obedience class would do her wonders for her training! They also felt she would love being a skijor buddy or somebody's running partner to help get some of her energy out. Even though she can be like an energy bunny at times, she also has a sweet and cuddly side and enjoys giving kisses! A funny quirk they also found was that she loves to sleep under the bed! If you are interested in meeting this goofball and feel that you live an active lifestyle that can meet her needs, please let us know!

01/18/25 This sweet girl is Marlo! Marlo was brought to the shelter because her previous owners had too many dogs and were struggling to keep her contained. When Marlo gets loose outside, she likes to run! She has also been known to get into the neighbors' trash when she is loose. She is looking for a home that will keep her contained either in a fence yard or on a leash or tie out when she goes outside. Marlo was said to love playing outside; she just needs someone to help her be on her best behavior when she does. Marlo was said to be a shy but friendly girl who will bark at strangers but gets along with kids and other dogs. She does not have history with other types of animals. Please make sure all introductions are done in a safe and controlled manner. She was said to ride well in the car and has been known to be rough and gentle when playing, depending on the situation. She does need some help getting over naughty habits like jumping on counters, but she was said to be housebroken and will go to the door when she has to go. Miss Marlo was described as being a very sweet and loving dog who just needs some time to warm up to strangers. If you are interested in meeting Miss Marlo, please give us a call!February 3, 2025, 6:17 pm
