Marley needs a loving home. Sweet and loving 11 month old boy. Shepherd mix. Will make a perfect and excellent watch dog. Loves to play!! House broken. Crate trained. Fixed, chipped and vaccinated. Vet record provided. I will give you all the food and treats I have left. He craves your love and company. I am fostering Marley. I wanted to rescue him from being put down. I have had Marley for over 10 weeks now, but I have to relocate and also, he does not get along with my cat. Or the cat will not get along with him! He has a crate that they delivered with him. Please consider adding this beautiful dog to your family! Thanks so much!!

Story
We got Winnie during the pandemic. We have three kids and surprised our kids by driving to a Boston terrier breeder and picking a family dog. Winnie is a loving dog and our kids adore her. She started out extremely shy, but has taken to everyone in our family. A couple of years ago we got a cat and they are hilarious together. They play fight all the time and get along well. As our kids have gotten older, we find ourselves driving around every night taking our kids to and from activities. My wife and I both work full-time jobs and between all of our kids' activities, we just don't have the time to take of a dog and give her the attention she needs. We have thought about finding her a new home for a while, and finally came to the decision that she would be better off with new dog owners
