Story
Marmaduke is a sweet and friendly boy who would make a great dog for almost any home. He loves dogs, people and kids and is pretty well potty trained. He would love a home with a dog, but may do well as an only dog, too. He`s a senior dog, so no very young children, but older children are fine. He is still very playful and enjoys chasing his foster brother around. He is very social with the other dogs and humans in the house. He`s probably not a dog that would do well spending most of his time alone so he needs a human that`s home often or another dog for companionship. Check back for more pictures after his haircut!
