My story

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

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Marco’s adoption donation is $475 and he is being fostered in Central Ohio. He has been neutered, microchipped, received his rabies, distemper/parvo, bivalent canine influenza and Bordetella vaccines, tested negative for heartworms and started on prevention, as well as flea prevention. He has also had a dental cleaning. Marco does require a companion dog of similar size. We do recommend a secure, physically fenced yard but he does walk on a leash nicely.

Marco came into rescue through no fault of his own when his owner could no longer care for him. He is an adorable little guy who has made incredible progress in rescue. Marco is shy and does take some time to warm up to people but loves, loves, loves other dogs and really looks to them for cues. He definitely prefers women and warms up much more quickly to them. Marco is quite the cuddle bug once he's settled in. He does well on housetraining if kept on a schedule. He is an active little guy and loves to play so an active home with a dog of similar size and energy is needed. Marco can be a nervous guy and he takes an inexpensive medication to help with digestion prior to his meals. Marco needs a patient, understanding home with another dog to help him acclimate and live his best life.
