My personality

My story

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

MEET "MARLO" TEXAS, HOUSTON

LOCATION: HOUSTON TEXAS AREA

CONTACT BigPawsK9FosterHouse@gmail.com

Meet Marlo – From the Streets to Snuggles, She's Ready for Her Happy Ending
Breed: German Shepherd
Age: ~1 year
Weight: 60 lbs
Spayed Female
Up to date on vaccinations and preventatives
Heartworm positive – thriving on slow-kill treatment

Marlo’s journey is one of incredible resilience. Pulled from the harsh streets of Cleveland just before the January snowstorm, she was in heartbreaking condition—riddled with infection, covered in puncture wounds, and suffering from a severe case of demodex mange. Without rescue, she wouldn’t have survived the storm.

Despite all she’s endured, Marlo is one of the sweetest souls you’ll ever meet. She loves people and embraces life with a calm, affectionate nature. While she enjoys the company of other dogs, she does best with dogs her own size or larger.

Marlo is a rockstar in public settings and loves car rides—lucky for her, her foster dad is a pool guy, so she gets to tag along on his daily adventures. While she often carries herself with a mature grace well beyond her age, don’t be surprised when she sneaks in a burst of silly puppy playfulness!

Marlo is spayed, fully vetted, and on monthly preventatives. She is heartworm positive, but she's responding beautifully to our slow-kill treatment and continues to thrive.

If you're looking for a gentle, loyal, and loving companion with a dash of spunk, Marlo might just be your perfect match.

More about this rescue

Our mission at Big Paws K9 Foster House is to establish a secure and nurturing haven for Anatolian Shepherds, Kangal, Great Pyrenees, Akbash and their mixes rescued from shelters, the streets, or unfortunate circumstances. Our dedicated team ensures a transitional environment either at the facility or within a foster home for these dogs until suitable forever homes can be identified for adoption. Throughout their stay with us, we prioritize the well-being of the dogs by affording them dedicated decompression time, compassionate care, and expert guidance. Our commitment extends to active engagement through structured work/play sessions, allowing us to comprehensively evaluate each dog's unique characteristics.
This thorough evaluation process enables us to provide detailed insights to our fosters, adopters, and our partnering rescue organizations. By offering a nuanced understanding of each dog's temperament, behavior, and needs, we aim to facilitate informed decision-making in placing these dogs into loving and appropriate homes.
Committed to education, we also promote spaying/neutering and work to make affordable vetting accessible within our community, championing responsible pet ownership for all.
