Story
Marlie is a sweet and spunky 4-year-old Maltese-Yorkie mix (Morkie) who is full of love and energy! She’s the kind of dog who brings joy to every moment. Marlie adores her walks, playtime, and especially her toys—her absolute favorite being "Foxy Brown," a squeaky toy she’ll fetch on command.
This smart little girl knows lots of commands, including sit, down, paw, “get your toy,” and of course, “Where’s Foxy Brown?” She’s potty trained to use a pad indoors, but she’s clever enough to learn outdoor potty habits, too, if that’s what her new family prefers. One of Marlie’s most adorable traits is her love for getting dressed up! She has her own little wardrobe of outfits to choose from, and she’ll stand very still to make sure her outfit looks just right. Seeing her strut her stuff in her stylish attire will melt your heart! Marlie also loves going for car rides and thrives on adventure! She gets so excited to see every view out of every window, so she’ll need a doggy seatbelt to keep her safe while she takes it all in.
She’s a curious little companion who enjoys following you around the house, almost as if she’s trying to learn everything you do. If you really want to see her light up with joy, just ask, “Do you want to go for a walk?” But be sure you mean it because once you say it, she’ll hold you to it and expect you to follow through with her favorite activity!
Marlie is familiar with a crate and will willingly spend time in it. With consistent training, she could easily become fully crate trained if that’s what her new family prefers.
Marlie loves being pampered with back, neck, and belly scratches. And if you’re up for a game of tug-of-war, she’ll happily oblige. She’s great at letting you know what she needs—whether it’s with a few gentle pats or by bringing you a toy when she’s ready to play. She’s good with kids over 10 (we haven’t had the chance to see her with younger ones) and currently lives harmoniously with another dog. They love to zoom around the house and yard together! Speaking of zoomies, get ready for a joyous welcome when you come home because Marlie loves to show her excitement with happy zoomies around the room.
Marlie isn’t big on human food but does enjoy the occasional plain cracker or a nibble of turkey. She’s a loving companion who thrives on connection and playfulness.
Rehoming Marlie is a heart-wrenching decision for us. Due to my mobility challenges, my daughter assists in my care, and while Marlie adores her most of the time, she becomes protective of me during moments when I’m vulnerable. This has led to some challenges and my daughter being bit. For everyone’s safety and well-being, we’ve decided to find Marlie a forever home where she can flourish with a family who can give her the love and attention she deserves.
Marlie is truly a wonderful dog who will bring endless love, laughter, curiosity, and style to her new family. We’re hoping to find her a home where she can continue to thrive and brighten her new family’s life.
