My story

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

Hi! My name is Marley. I am a Border Collie Mix and am about 65 lbs. My foster mom says I am all fluff though! I have been with my foster mom for a little over a week now, and have had so much fun! She has this nice size yard with lots of squirrels and birds that I can chase along the fence line. I love to run through her bushes, and smell all the scents! She said that I need to go to a home with a hard fence at least 4.5 ft tall so that I don’t accidentally leave the yard when I am exploring. I tend to get distracted when I smell something and I cannot hear her calling for me. The fence would make me happy though because then I know my property, and can patrol my space!
I love my foster mom, and her mom and boyfriend. I just love people and want to be by them at all times. I don’t give kisses because that is just gross, but I love to lay in my foster mom’s lap and put my head on her lap. When she pets me I relax, and take a nap. My foster mom loves to cook, and I can’t help myself but jump on the counter at times to smell what she is making. I still don’t understand why I cannot do that, but I am getting better at staying down. My foster mom says I am super smart, and that I would do really well as a therapy dog or doing obedience work. I love to run, and would like if my new home would take me for walks or hikes so I can smell everything!
I hope you will consider adopting me. Please reach out to my foster , Chris with any questions
