Marley is an adorable pup thatll steal your heart! Shes a Boston Terrier mix and based on moms size, we dont think shell end up over 40 pounds. Marley and her brother Farley were born on 2/24/25. They recently started potty and crate training. Mom's temperament is wonderful and we expect these pups to grow up to be just as sweet! Marley has completed the majority of her vet care but will still need one more round of vaccines towards the end of May. Our puppy adoption fee is $300. If you're interested in adopting, please submit an application at savedbyfate.org and we'll be in touch ASAP!
