MARLEY - GREAT PYRENEES (LONG COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Great Pyrenees (long coat). Marley’s Story – From Working Dog to Warrior Marley’s life has been anything but easy. For the first 4½ years, he worked as a dedicated sheep herder in Polson, MT. In January 2025, his world changed—he arrived at Polson Animal Clinic very sick and unable to walk. After several tests, the diagnosis came: diabetes. His owner, unable to provide the care he needed, made the heartbreaking decision to leave Marley in the loving hands of the PAC team. There, he finally received the treatment he deserved. Slowly but surely, Marley got back on his feet—and before long, he was bouncing around like a puppy again. As a retired working dog, Marley is still learning the joys of being a house dog. During four months in a foster home, he discovered that it’s perfectly fine to stretch out on a cool floor during a hot summer day. And when winter comes? He’s in his element—Marley absolutely loves the snow and would happily spend the entire day outside. Because of his diabetes, Marley is losing his eyesight. This can make him cautious and sometimes reactive when meeting new people. But if you give him a little time, speak gently as you approach, and offer plenty of belly rubs, he’ll warm up and show you his loyal, loving side. Marley is still currently at Polson Animal Clinic, but transport can be arranged for the right foster or forever home. He’s ready for his next chapter—and for someone who will see past his challenges to the devoted friend he is.
