MARLEY

My story

Meet Marley – A True Little Hero5 Months Old • Sweet • Snuggly • Smart • Full of HeartSome dogs are just special, and Marley is one of them. At only 5 months old, he’s already shown more courage and strength than most dogs will in a lifetime.When he was just 7–8 weeks old, Marley suffered an accident that left him facing euthanasia. But thanks to the kindness of his foster and the donations of many, he underwent life-saving hip and femur surgery (FHO). After weeks in the hospital and long crate rest, this brave little pup is finally doing what he was meant to do—being a puppy. He walks, runs, and plays with pure joy, as if he knows every moment is a gift.Despite everything he’s been through, Marley is as sweet as they come. He loves kids, adores snuggles, and is as cute as he is loving. He’s dog-friendly and, while he hasn’t lived with cats, he’d likely do just fine. He’s nearly potty trained, is food-motivated, and is catching on to obedience training incredibly fast—he really is a blank slate ready to learn.But this boy deserves more than just a home—he deserves the right home. He needs a family who will be truly committed, someone who will never let him down after all he’s been through. His vet says he has “a lot of heart,” and it’s true—he’s the kind of dog who will love you with everything he has.If you’re ready to give your heart to a puppy who’s already proven he’ll give you his, Marley is waiting for you. Whoever adopts him won’t just be getting a dog—they’ll be gaining a little survivor, a loyal friend, and a daily reminder of what courage and love look like.
