8/12/2014  Marley is a black and tan 4.5 year old 75 lb. spayed female with a sweet and mellow nature. Marley has been living with her foster mom and dad for a month now, and was surrendered with a pretty complete and positive history. What we know: Marley does not get along with small dogs or cats and is learning how to get along with larger dogs. She clearly has obedience training and will sit, come, lay down, go to her crate, and take her pillow to bed. She cares little about other dogs when out for a jog and should only take repetition of “heel” and a firm tug to get her walking nicely on the leash (she walks well for her foster mom who has been working with her specifically on staying by our side). She is a easily startled by loud noises but doesn’t cower long until she figures out what the fuss is about.

Toys and Food: she doesn’t really appear to be toy driven and turns a tail to fetch with anything. She has a pillow and a few softer items she seems to gravitate to which she carries around with great pride. She isn’t food driven for training unless you have her favorite treat: Cadet Duck Breast strips.
