Description:

Meet Marley!

Marley was turned in to a high kill shelter by her owner and it looks like she has not been taken care of for some time.  She was groomed and now she's feeling gorgeous again!


Marley is good with big dogs. She may be a touch uppity with small dogs.  She has not been around cats in the house but has barked at the barn cats and would chase them if they are in the yard.

Marley is housetrained and has a free reign of the house even when her humans are gone.  She is also crate-trained and tolerates it well. She is likely to be ok if left alone during a full work day.  Marley does not need a lot of exercise, would enjoy a walk here and there. She plays with toys a little bit but is not too active of a dog.

Marley is good on a leash, knows basic commands and rides well in the car.  She barks when reasonable - for example, when someone is at the door. 
At night, Marley sleeps in her own bed at night and is real good at going to bed when you do.

To maintain Marley's cute appearance, it would be important to groom her regularly.

Marley is a wonderful little dog, she's cute and loves to lay by you on the couch.


Medical Note: Our veterinarian suspects that she may have  intervetebral disc disease (IVDD). Marley has been started on Carprofen(Rimadyl) for a month trial and will need her bloodwork re-evaluated before continuing on it. Overall she has been doing well, stumbles a little when walking, but her legs seem to be getting stronger.. She is a trooper though and just keeps on cruising around .   Marley is also taking medication to prevent seizures.   She is doing well
and enjoying life!

When you adopt a pet from Midwest Animal Rescue and Services, your adoption fee covers: Microchip and registration, Core Vaccines including Rabies, Distemper and bordetella, age appropriate heartworm testing or FeLV-FIV testing, sterilization, heartworm/flea-tick prevention and deworming while in foster care. 

Long Distance Adoptions: Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption. We require a meet of the pet prior to adoption, which means coming to MARS.  We do not transport to potential adopters.

How to learn more about a pet: Complete the application (click on the button above) to start our process for adopting or fostering a MARS Pet.

Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks.

Post Adoption: Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. We highly recommend Pet Insurance.  Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance.

Pet Breeds: The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility or Shelter partner. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed.

If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess without knowing a pet’s full history.
