My story

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

Hi there, I'm Marmaduke, a sweet and gentle 3-year-old pup ready to shower you with love and companionship! I’m a big boy with an even bigger heart, I can't wait to show you just how much love I have to give! I absolutely adore going on walks and exploring the world with my favorite humans. I'm quite the expert at sniffing out all the interesting scents along the way. Plus, I walk pretty well, though sometimes I might get a little excited and pull a bit – I'm just eager to take in everything around me!

Now, I have a little something to share – I'm heartworm positive. But not to worry, I'm undergoing treatment, and all I need is a bit of calm and tender care to help me through it. I promise to be a good patient and appreciate all the extra cuddles and love during this time. Here's the scoop – while I'm a lover through and through, I'm not too fond of other dogs. I prefer to be the star of the show and would thrive best in a home where I can be the one and only furry friend. But hey, who needs other dogs when you have all the love and attention to yourself, right?

So, if you're looking for a gentle giant who will stick by your side through thick and thin, look no further – I'm your guy, Marmaduke!

*Just a heads up, the way I behave here at the shelter might not be exactly how I'll act in a home environment. Dog behavior can change once they find their forever family. These are just the observations from my time at the SPCA of SWMI.*

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Adopting an animal is a long term commitment and is therefore a serious decision which should be given ample consideration. A furry companion is a delight, but make sure that you understand the obligation of ownership as well.

Do you know how much yearly vet visits cost - and food, and toys? The ASPCA estimates the annual cost of a large dog to be $780, and a cat is $575. Of course the monetary commitment fluctuates somewhat depending on an animal's size and specific medical needs, but we can guarantee that you will be spending a significant amount on him each year. Do you have time to exercise with your pet? Some dogs have more energy than others, but most would benefit from daily walks. Even cats are better off when their owners are able to set aside daily time for play. Make sure you can give a pet the attention he craves and deserves.
