My story

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

Marlyn's adoption fee is waived!

Meet Marlyn, the sweetest boy with a heart full of love! Marlyn is a brave boy who has been through a lot, but despite his challenges, he’s ready to bring love and joy to his forever home. He was found with a prolapse, and after receiving the medical care he needed, Marlyn is now healthy and eager to find a family who will give him the love he truly deserves. He’s been at Gateway for 79 days but is still holding out hope for someone to offer him the life he’s been dreaming of.

This gentle, dog-friendly guy will melt you with his soft tail wags and warm, affectionate greetings. If you’re looking for a loyal survivor who’s as sweet as can be, Marlyn is ready to be your new best friend!

If you are interested in a meet and greet for adoption for Marlyn, please fill out an application on our website at www.gatewaypets.org/adopt. If you are interested in learning more about Marlyn or the adoption process at GPG, please email placement@gatewaypets.org

All of our dogs and cats will be microchipped, spayed or neutered, and up-to-date on vaccinations at the time of adoption. For more photos of Marlyn, follow us on Facebook Gateway Pet Guardians and Instagram @gatewaypets ... #gpgMarlyn.

Gateway Pet Guardians is proud to offer a variety of mixed breed dogs available for adoption. However, please keep in mind that we rarely know the genetic background of the animals we rescue and, as such, we cannot guarantee the exact breed combinations found within this dog. However, we do not know his/her actual genetic makeup. Just know that this dog is probably a variety of several different breeds that have combined to create one very amazing and unique animal.
