Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Sitter needed: 12/21/25 - 12/28/25
Meet Marsala — Your Fun, Loyal, Snuggly Sidekick!
Marsala is a bright, affectionate girl who’s ready to find the person or family she can truly bond with. She LOVES her people and shows it in the sweetest ways, from gentle paw taps for more pets to happily trotting over for snuggle time. Her quirky antics, curious nature, and playful spirit make her an absolute joy to have around.
This smart cookie has completed TOP Dog training and knows “sit,” “shake,” “down,” “stay,” “place,” and “look at me.” She’s fully house-trained, sleeps soundly in her crate at night, and does great roaming freely at home during the day.
Marsala enjoys exploring outside, rolling in the grass, going for walks, and hopping in the car for an adventure. She’s the perfect mix of playful and laid-back, happy to romp around and just as happy to curl up at your side afterward.
Marsala thrives with structure and someone who enjoys reinforcing her training. She bonds deeply and does best with an adopter who can provide guidance and consistency. She would thrive in a home with adults who live in a low traffic house or apartment, and has the potential to live with a well-matched dog companion after thoughtful introductions.
If you’re looking for a loving, playful, and endlessly entertaining companion, Marsala could be the perfect match. Come meet her and see why everyone who knows her can’t help but adore her!
