True the the guardian breed in her, Beautiful Marmalade is suspicious of strangers and loyal and loving to her humans. Once she knows you she is your best friend.
She loves to run and daily exercise is a must. Marmalade needs a home with a 6 foot privacy fence to keep her safe and call her own.
Marmalade enjoys the company of well behaved kids and has previously lived with cats. She aims to please and is great on her basic obedience. She has great house manners and she is crate trained.
Marmalade was initially placed in a home when she was around a year old. For a year she lived happily with the other dog in the home. Then her owners brought home a third dag (a Great Dane), where intros were not done correctly and the 3 dogs did not get along. Instead of reaching out for help, they allowed the dogs to fight it out. Which of course is a very dangerous mindset or belief to have. Eventually there was a final fight that left the original dog severely injured (she recovered) and needing to be hospitalized and Marmalade mentally broken and once again without a home.
Unfortunately, the lasting psychological damage has left a deep wound in Marmalade's psyche and she is now very fearful of other dogs in close proximity. Meaning she is not comfortable once another dog enters her personal space and goes on the defensive. It is possible that time may still heal those psychological scars, but as of a year out from those events, that has yet to happen.
Due to these circumstances, Marmalade must be the only dog in the home.
A home with Guardian Breed experience is preferred.
Marmalade's adoption fee is $450.00 and she is up to date on and fully vetted.
