Story
Meet Marley, a resilient and loving boy who embodies the spirit of survival! His story speaks to his strength; he was found in the rural areas of Arkansas, having endured a traumatic incident where he was shot in neck with the bullet existing his muzzle. Injured and in pain, Marley found the courage to approach people for help. After having surgery, he shows no lasting problems besides a cute snore when he sleeps. Sadly, he also has scars from being hit with shotgun pellets, so it’s understandable he’s terrified by gunshots.
Marley is around two years old, weighs 50lb and probably is a lab and hound mix. He’s an extremely smart, happy boy with lots of character. He does the cutest head tilt and wrinkles his brow when figuring something out. Once you gain his trust, he becomes your best friend and the perfect snuggle buddy. He can be a sensitive soul who would do best in a quieter home with someone who works from home or home more than gone. He does require a house with a fenced-in yard and ideally another playful dog, his size or larger since he loves nothing more than a good game of chase and wrestling.
Marley is very food motivated, highly intelligent, and a quick learner. As this bio is being written he know sit, lay, stay, shake, wave, spin, touch, target, go around, and bow. By the time you meet him he will have learned many more. He loves to pounce after a tennis balls and a good game of tug of war. He would be fine in a home with older, calm children with dog experienced. He does need a home with no cats or small dogs because he is so playful.
If you are looking for a loyal snuggle buddy, who will brighten your life, Marley might be the perfect match.
