Story
Meet Marmaduke! Bday: December 2025. Color: Silvery Brown, white feet with spots. Energy Level: Medium but tires quickly then likes to nap. SUCH A SMART BOY!! will neuter b4 adoptionFound on the side of the road during a storm at the beginning of June 2026, and haven't been able to find his fam. He was skittish at first but warmed up to my dogs quickly. He is (mostly) housetrained, sleeps great in his kennel and will stay in there with a good bone for as long as you'll let him. He likes to talk and will bark from the kennel to let you know he has to potty- but will go back in happily/quietly afterwards. I have a small yard and we don't really go for walks and he is still tired out after maybe an hour of wrestling my dog. Then he likes to lay around and nap or chew on toys. He could use a young friend or semi active owners. Pls msg for more info! He really is the best boy and I would keep him if I had the funds.
