Marbles is available for our foster-to-adopt program!
Marbles is a 1.5 year old, 15-pound female terrier mix from Tijuana, Mexico! Marbles is a loving, sweet, and affectionate pup.
She has adjusted well during her time in the suburbs of Norwalk, CT. Marbles enjoys getting belly rubs, playing fetch with a squeaky toy inside, and recently learned the joys of walks in her suburban neighborhood. Marbles was timid when she first joined our family but has since trusted her foster mom and actively seeks her out for walks, play, and pets.
Marbles will sit for treats and her food but will need her new family to help her learn other commands! She is very willing to please and seems to be food motivated.
During her time with her foster family, she is almost completely housetrained with only a few accidents. We are training her to go exclusively outside and have not used pee pads with her.
Marbles feels very comfortable going on walks in her quiet suburban neighborhood and is very eager to walk and smell everything around her. She likes to walk quickly and pays particular attention to all of her rabbit and squirrel friends on walks so her new family will have to continue to reinforce her leash skills. Marbles takes daily walks with her two foster-fur-siblings.
Marbles’ forever family will need to continue working with her to reinforce and advance the progress she has been making.
Marbles has access to a crate but chooses to sleep on her dog bed or on the couch (who wouldn’t!). With the exception of the occasional accident, she is completely fine when left alone at home when we are at work.
Marbles loves to be cozy with her foster mom. While it took some time for Marbles to trust her, they have created a very fun and loving bond that we feel can be replicated with her forever family as well.
Marbles is looking for a medium-activity level family. She appreciates downtime but as we get to know Marbles more, she has shown us her fun and spunky side too. She would be fine living with or without another pup in the house. She currently resides with 2 other dogs who are low / medium energy although she hasn’t really romped around with them yet, they just peacefully coexist at this time. We would recommend that Marbles go to a home with older children who will be respectful of the time it takes Marbles to open up but think older children would be very fun for her since she does love to play fetch inside and is eager to go on walks.
Vaccinated for rabies, DA2PP, and bordetella. Neutered, heartworm negative, and microchipped. Current on flea, tick, and heartworm prevention.

It is important to fill out an application as soon as possible for consideration, and we require a complete application for you to meet an animal. We are currently unable to respond to general email inquiries as an all-volunteer run rescue. If the dog is on our website, they are still available.
