Story
Okay but listen… you are not ready for Marcus Bear. Big, blocky head? Check. Squishy, kissable cheeks? Absolutely. Heart of solid gold? Without question. He’s the total package: gentle, steady, incredibly tolerant, and so patient it almost feels unreal. This boy is so easygoing you could put him in the most ridiculous dress-up props imaginable and he would just sit there like, “Is this what we’re doing? Okay.” Hats? Fine. Bandanas? Sure. Tiny sunglasses? Why not. He’s that tolerant. The kind of dog who just wants to be included and loved. And that face. The classic Rottie squish. The kind you just want to cup in your hands and smooch. Marcus Bear isn’t just a good dog, he’s the kind of dog families dream about. Loyal. Loving. Dog friendly. Kid approved. Ridiculously tolerant. Built like a tank. Soft like a marshmallow. And there is so much more! Watch his video and fall in love: https://youtu.be/XS81f3NYdmw?si=9Cy71AcyMRhVFW1X Marcus Bear is believed to be a Rottweiler mix approximately 1 year old and currently weighs 78 lbs. He is a rescue dog and with any rescue, it's always a mystery and we cannot guarantee breed or age. Marcus the perfect combination of affection while also being independent. He’s not overly needy with his love nor does he ever over do it. If you’re someone that works from home, he’ll be a great work from home buddy because he’s not going to be constantly begging you for attention or getting into things he shouldn’t be (he has wonderful house manners I might add). He’s the type that will come up to you when the time is right for a little ear/nose scratch almost as if he knew you needed a 5 min break from work. As for the rest of the time, he’s a window watcher and loves looking out windows or he’ll be playing with a toy. While Marcus waits for his forever family, he is being spoiled by his foster family and they absolutely adore him and rave about him. He is currently fostered in a multi-kid household with some being as young a 3 years old, and Marcus has been nothing but sweet perfection around the kids in his foster home. They have the best time playing together, snuggling, and he loves being a part of a family dynamic. Marcus is very tolerant with all of the kids in the home and just loves them to pieces. He has no issues when the kids are playing with his toys, running around, and is frequently found giving them the gentlest kisses. It’s the sweetest thing! If you have kids and are looking for a bestie for your kiddos, Marcus is definitely your guy. Not only is Marcus great with kids, he is also very dog friendly and has done great with all the dogs we have introduced him to and is also fostered in a home with an 8 month old playful pittie mix. Marcus has been around dogs all with different personalities and has done great with every single one. Marcus is wonderful about meeting new dogs and will either play with them or will go off and do his own thing. That’s what is so great about him, the way he is able to adapt to the dogs around him. He can run around, have a good time and he also just as happy going off and doing his own thing while the other dogs are being wild. Marcus would love to have a dog sibling in the home, but if you don’t have one, that’s okay too. He does not need the company of another dog to satisfy his energy needs or to help him open up. Marcus would love to be in a home with a backyard where he can sunbathe anytime he wants, roll in the grass, and explore all the fun smells. He would make a great companion while you garden and relax on the patio enjoying the fresh air. He’ll enjoy going on neighborhood walks, mini adventures and then will happily lay next to you for cozy time. Marcus is such a good boy, a 10/10. Now, he just needs a family to call his own. We are willing to test Marcus Bear with anything you need in order to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make anything happen! Just let us know. Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?

Story
Strong, smart, a little silly, and very enthusiastic about a game of fetch… this is Ohlee! She has a cool,calm confidence but still lights up when the fun begins. A Rottweiler with a playful side, a friendly nature and a big ol’ heart, how could anyone resist? Want to see this fetch-loving beauty in action? Head over to YouTube and then come right back to learn more about the girl who ran away with out heart. Ohlee is estimated to be about 3 years old and weighs 74 lbs. She appears to be a Rottweiler through and through, just a slightly more petite version of the classic look. As always with rescue, breed and birthday are our best guess. During her assessment, Ohlee made an impression right away. She greeted people with friendly curiosity and has a relaxed confidence that makes everyone smile and makes her easy company. When it was time to show-off what she knows, she showed that she has great basic leash skills and is happy to engage with her handler. Smart girl energy all the way. And then there’s the fetch. Ohlee absolutely understands the assignment. Toss the ball and she’s off with joyful purpose, bringing it right back with a gentle mouth and zero toy possessiveness. It’s the kind of easy, cooperative play that makes backyard time extra fun. With other dogs, Ohlee was an absolute star. Calm, confident, friendly… and also perfectly content doing her own thing. She greeted every dog politely and then often wandered off to sniff the yard like a happy little explorer. She initiated play a couple of times, but she seems more like a “short play session and then back to sniffing” kind of girl. Overall she gives off that wonderful medium-to-low energy vibe that makes her easy company for people and dogs. Ohlee is fostered in a loving home with a wide variety of dogs and her foster family praises her for being house and crate trained with great house manners. She is calm, respectful, and learns quickly. Ohlee has shown that living with cats isn’t the right match for her, so she’ll need a feline-free home moving forward. Otherwise, Ohlee is the kind of dog who fits into many lifestyles. With her steady temperament and moderate energy level, she could even thrive in an apartment environment as long as the building allows larger breeds and she gets her daily walks and the occasional game of fetch. If you’ve been dreaming of a loyal companion who mixes classic Rottie charm with a playful spirit and easygoing presence, Ohlee is your girl! Apply today to meet Ohlee! https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/69a5ec43d120e3239602df6b Please email kristin@threelittlepittiesrescue.org with any questions.
