Marley

“A Diamond In The Rough” is how you would probably describe me.  At thirty-five pounds, I am a gorgeous golden retriever in a petite body.  I am definitely a mama’s boy and I love being where she is.  I enjoy our long walks and runs along the rural paths near our home.  I am a polite leash walker and even stay by foster mom’s side when I am off leash.  There are two teenage boys at my foster home who keep me busy playing fetch and basketball, but it takes more than a few walks and ball playing to wear out this ever ready bunny!  I am a little too spirited to live with a moppet and prefer interacting with the older variety of human children.  My fur brother is a senior and isn’t interested in my overtures to play, which is implausible to me.  I would prefer to have another dog in my forever home to share my exuberance and be a mentor to me.  If there is any activity in the house, I am right there trying to be part of it!   Besides playing ball games with my human siblings, I treasure the stuffed hippo I came into rescue with and enjoy chewing on a rope toy that I found when I arrived at my foster home.

I am a high energy teenager who has never had the benefit of obedience training and learning boundaries. Taking classes together will teach you to communicate with me to build a relationship of trust and respect and help me become a beloved member of your pack.  Foster mom says I am a smart friendly little doll and finds my puppy kisses very endearing.  I just need a little patient encouragement to smooth the rough edges.  Let’s get to work!
