My story

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

Marilyn is a delightfully chonky girl who believes love should be given freely…especially in the form of kisses. This affectionate lady is all about making friends, leaning in for pets, and reminding you how special you are with lots of smooches.
She’s a big fan of treats (who isn’t?), and she’s happily equal-opportunity when it comes to her snacks - fruits, veggies, and classic goodies all earn her enthusiastic approval. Marilyn also enjoys getting out for walks, where she proudly struts her stuff like the queen she is.
Friendly, loving, and full of charm, Marilyn is the kind of dog who will make your house feel like home the moment she waddles in. If you’re looking for a sweet, affectionate companion with endless love (and kisses) to give, Marilyn is ready to steal your heart!

This pet qualifies for our Sponsored by Simba Program, Pets for Veterans: There is no adoption fee for any military veteran adopting a pet 1 year old +.

More about this shelter

Founded in 1929, the Brandywine Valley SPCA is the first open admission shelter in Pennsylvania to achieve No Kill status and serves as the only open admission shelter in both Chester and Delaware Counties. In 2015, the BVSPCA opened its first Animal Health Center in Malvern, Pennsylvania, making veterinary care more accessible to local residents. In 2016, the BVSPCA took on a five-year contract with the Delaware Office of Animal Welfare to provide state-wide animal services, and expanded its reach further into the tri-state area by opening both a second shelter and a second Animal Health Center in New Castle County, Delaware. Shortly after, a PetSmart Everyday Adoption Center was opened in Dover, Delaware. Its mission is to put the “human” back in humane animal treatment and to advocate on their behalf. Each year, the BVSPCA cares for more than 10,000 stray, owner-surrendered, wayward owned, and abused and neglected animals.
