Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Pending adoption
(Transport trip set for 5/11/24 to NorCal and OR. Transport costs will be divided between all adopting families. We would love to add Marley to our trip!)
Meet Marley! He is a 2 1/2 year old purebred shih tzu. He weighs 11.5 lbs and yes, he is at a healthy weight and full grown. He is neutered, microchipped, current on all vaccines, had a recent nail trim, ear cleaning, dental cleaning, and wellness exam with our vet whome has cleared him to find a home all his own.
He is crate trained; and currently sleeps in the crate at night peacefully. He is house trained and will go outside every couple hours when asked to if he needs to. He is leash trained; and loves walks around the neighborhood. He loves to take it all in when he goes for walks; and will have you enjoying the small things by watching how much he lights up over a flower, or even a butterfly 🦋
He is wonderful with all dogs, big or small. He wants to be everyone's friend. He was even introduced to cats and didn't mind them one bit. He is wonderful with men, women, and children alike. He is NOT a barker, but will "talk to you," or whimper when he needs something such as to go outside to potty. He is an overall very easy going, laid back, happy dog content just being in the presence of his human ☺️
He is not high maintenance whatsoever; and will simply nap 😴 if you are busy doing other things, or find something to entertain himself while he waits for you to finish whatever it may be keeping you from him! He loves to play, but equally loves to be in your lap and will choose lap time over play time in a heartbeat. He is your true companion dog. Loves road trips, so if you are looking to vacation with your little friend he will make the absolute best friend 😊
He loves his spa day too with the groomer too!
Don't pass up this sweet, kind hearted, loving, affectionate, serene tempered, beautiful little guy!!!

All that's left to do is simply take over loving him ❤️
