ankfully, a kind-hearted Good Samaritan stepped up to help her, and because of her compassion, Marley is now safe, thriving in foster care, and ready to start a brand-new chapter. Still a young pup, Marley has proven to be incredibly adaptable and naturally social. She’s been fostered with dogs of all sizes and ages - large, small, young, and senior -and she’s been a total rockstar with everyone. Her current foster home includes three other dogs, and the introduction was seamless. Foster mom Sarah shared: “Initially, Marley was slightly timid, but within 30 minutes she warmed up and was trying to play. Her energy level is pretty moderate. She has a playful side but isn’t overbearing.” This sweet girl absolutely adores people. At a recent brewery outing, she charmed everyone she met, including a whole baseball team of 8 to 10-year-olds. She soaked up all the attention and was gentle with every child who came her way. Marley is: ✔️ House-trained ✔️ Crate-trained ✔️ Doing well on leash (though she gets excited and may pull a bit) She loves water, enjoys hiking, and makes a great golf cart co-pilot. According to her foster mom, “Marley is silly, outgoing, and affectionate, but not ‘in your face.’ She’s very submissive with other dogs and was even intimidated by our neighbor’s Pomeranian! She’s also a huge fan of toys, though she may sneak off with a shoe if left unsupervised (we're working on that!).” Marley is affectionate, fun, and full of heart. She’d thrive with a doggy playmate or as a beloved only pup, as long as she has people to love and share adventures with. If you think Marley could be your perfect match, apply today to learn more!" *** Available for foster-to-adopt for the right family fit*** BREED ESTIMATE: Staffordshire Terrier Mix GENDER: Female APPROXIMATE WEIGHT: 54 lbs APPROXIMATE AGE: ~ 1-2 years old COAT TYPE: short coat ADOPTION FEE: $425 VET INFO: utd on shots/spayed/microchipped LOCATION: Charlotte, NC - FOR MORE INFO OR TO ADOPT: Please go to adopt.worthydog and complete the application.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
