Story
ABOUT ME... Hi! I'm Marley, a 2-year-old pup who has spent my whole life outside. I can be a bit anxious when I first meet new people, but I warm up quickly! I haven't had much attention before, so I absolutely love pets, cuddles, and treats! I recently discovered fetch, and I have a blast playing it with my foster mom in the backyard. I also enjoy our walks together, especially since she gives me treats along the way! Chewing on bones or having a toy nearby to play with makes me really happy. I am big bundle of love and energy! I AM GREAT WITH... Potty training and sleeping in my crate at night! I listen well to directions when I'm on my leash and I am very motivated by treats. I know basic commands like sit, lay down, eat, and go potty. Plus, I get along well with everyone, regardless of gender! I AM STILL WORKING ON... Not leading on walks because I can get a bit anxious if I see another dog or a new person. My foster mom stops to help me calm down with a treat, and that really helps! I am also learning about boundaries with both humans and other dogs, as I am still figuring out how to interact with them. I haven't had exposure to cats or children yet, so I'm not sure how I would react to them. I AM NOT GOOD WITH... Unfamiliar environments! I need some time to get comfortable in a new space before I can relax. I also struggle with "staying and can get easily spooked. I think this comes from spending my whole life outside and needing to protect myself. With a bit of time and patience, I'm confident I can overcome these challenges. **All animals in our care are spayed/neutered, microchipped, heartworm tested (age 1 & up), given preventatives, and provided with initial vaccinations AT MINIMUM.
