Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Marley! This little princess was surrendered to Joyrides when her mom could no longer care for her.
Marley is about 4-5 years old and weighs 7 lbs. She has lived in a foster home with several other dogs and loves to play with them. She also lives with a cat who she does great with! She has lived in a home with kids of various ages and done well. Her favorite activity is cuddling on your lap and she is a big fan of big, soft pillows! Typical of her breed, Marley can be skiddish with people she doesn't know - on walks and in the home - so she would do best with someone who has experience with this behavior/breed. Marley LOVES giving kisses - it's just the sweetest! She is fairly low energy and barks on occasion - at squirrels outside, at a dog doing zoomies, when her family gets home and she's still in her crate - but would be suitable for apartment life, especially with someone who is home quite a bit. She has the quirkiest wirey hair that makes her very unique and goofie - it's just adorable! Marley came to us pee pad trained (and it's very difficult to "untrain" this) so she does about 1/2 of her potty outside and 1/2 inside on her pee pad.
If you think this cutie might be the dog for you, email info@joyrides.org to request an app!
Marley is being fostered in Jersey City, NJ. She is available throughout the NE if you can meet half-way.
Weight: 7 lbs.

Kids? older kids with small dog experience ok
Cats? ok
Dogs? ok but if they are bigger they need to be gentle, tolerant and have a history of living with a small dog
Needs a yard? no
OK for apartment life? yes
Other considerations: Marley will need a home that is ok with keeping pee pads down for her
