My story

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

💙 Meet Marco – The Squish King 💙
Who wouldn’t want to wake up to the most handsome, mushy-faced boy staring lovingly down at them? Marco is a 2-year-old mixed breed with the kind of good looks and soft heart that make him impossible to resist.

Marco is equal parts wiggle-butt and cuddle-bug. He lives for belly rubs, will happily squish himself into your lap, and has perfected the art of giving you “those eyes” until you melt. He’s the kind of dog who makes you wonder how you ever lived without him.

A true social butterfly, Marco loves people of all ages (especially kids) and enjoys making new dog friends, too. He’d be thrilled to have a playful canine buddy at home, though he’s also perfectly happy soaking up all the attention himself.

Some highlights of Marco’s résumé:
🐾 Champion snuggler and professional lap-warmer
🐾 Excellent manners on field trips
🐾 Happy-go-lucky, easy-to-love personality
🐾 The mushiest, squishiest face in the business

Marco is ready to trade his shelter days for forever love. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who’s as snuggly as he is handsome, this squishy boy is waiting to meet you.

More about this rescue

Dogs Deserve Better is a 501c3 nonprofit organization dedicated to freeing the chained or penned dog and bringing our best friend into the home and family.

Our mission is to provide a better life for abused, neglected and abandoned canines; especially those which are chained or penned without human companionship. We strive to accomplish this through advocating for humane legislation; promoting spay and neuter; educating communities on animal welfare; and rescuing and finding loving inside homes for canines.
