Meet Marlee: The World-Class Companion (No Hiking Required) If your version of a "big adventure" is moving from the desk to the couch, Marlee is the girl you’ve been waiting for. Marlee is a gentle, senior soul who has mastered the art of being near you. She doesn’t need a palace or a marathon; she just needs to know where your feet are so she can lay on top of them. Marlee is a distinguished lady with good manners. She is fully house-trained and has a unique way of communicating—if she needs to go out while you’re napping, she’ll gently grab your foot and give it a gentle nudge to let you know. She isn't a furniture jumper; she’s perfectly content with her paws on the floor and her head in your lap for her favorite thing in the world: head scratches. Her Ideal Retirement Home: Because Marlee is a "vintage" model, she has a few specific requests for her forever home: No or not many stairs. Marlee’s hips aren't as young as they used to be, so a home with very few steps (or a ramp) is a must, as even two steps can be a struggle for her. We are having her hips looked and have her on a diet to improve the stress on her joints. Rug Enthusiasts Welcome: Hardwood and tile can be slippery for her. She does best in a home with carpeting or plenty of area rugs to help her find her footing. Only-Dog Energy: Marlee prefers to be the queen of her castle. She doesn't care for the high energy of other female dogs and would be happiest as your one-and-only. It is possible she could be ok with a low energy male dog. Early Risers: Marlee is a 5:00 AM girl! If you’re already up for coffee at dawn, she’s the perfect partner to watch the sunrise with. Health & Happiness: Marlee is currently on a "get-fit" journey! She’s a bit curvy and enjoys her specialized diet twice a day to help take the pressure off her joints. While she moves slowly, she still loves a "perimeter check" of the yard to make sure everything is safe. On her very best days, she’ll even break out her favorite Christmas toy for a little celebratory play. Marlee is looking for a quiet home with someone who is around often—a retiree or a work-from-home professional would be her absolute dream. Marlee deserves to spend her golden years in a loving home that is committed to her until the end. She has a lot of love to give.
