My name is Marilyn!

Sex: Female

Breed: Labrador Retriever/German Shepherd x

Estimated Date of Birth : 11/12/2024

Dark colored medium and large breeds are some of the most euthanized in public shelters nationwide. Dogs like Marilyn overlooked simply because of color, breed and size. Frequently these dogs are never given the chance they deserve or even the opportunity to learn the skills they need to interest adopters. They just want their chance. A chance to gain skills and knowledge. A chance to be wanted and loved. Marilyn is finally getting her chance.

Marilyn didn’t deserve the death sentence her former family gave her. Her life before has left her with the insecurities we see in so many of these discarded pups. Nervous but wanting that positive interaction so much. Bouncy but trying extra hard to learn the basics of good dog manners. Super needy because no one has ever made her feel she mattered. To matter….that’s all she wants more than anything else in the world. Marilyn is going to do so much with her chance and we hope find her perfect home. She deserves nothing less than that!

Now that she’s at our rescue ranch we’re working on building up Marilyn’s confidence. She’s excited to be around people and excited to see other dogs. No reactivity she simply doesn’t know what to do with all the excited energy she feels. With time and consistency that excited energy will fade and Marilyn will understand. Understand our expectations, understand what gets her positive feedback. She wants so much to please and is already making lots of progress. Want to be a part of Marilyn’s journey to belong? She’d love to belong to you! Fill out her application and we’ll schedule a time for you to meet and hopefully fall in love.
