MARLEY - HUSKY / GERMAN SHEPHERD DOG / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Husky / German Shepherd Dog / Mixed. Meet Marley!! Marley is an 11 year old Husky/German Shepherd mix. At 78 lbs, this very lightly toasted marshmellow has a stunning mostly-white coat and gentle eyes. He is neutered, up to date on his vaccines, microchipped, pottytrained and ready to spend the rest of his life receving as much love as he gives. Marley is a well socialized, affectionate dog. When taken to Paws for a Beer for adoption events, he will stroll over to new people, politely sit next to them, and graciously accept pets. Marley gets along great with children and other dogs who understand he is a calm, gentle soul. Marley would prefer a lower-energy but overall active home. He is not looking for a running partner, but he loves a good stroll around the neighborhood or park. Marley does not necessarily need a home with a fenced backyard, but he wouldn't say no to one! He lives in an apartment with his foster sister and does very well! He is definitely a Husky in that he will escape if he feels like needing to run! Marley is a smart boy who needs mental enrichment such as training, puzzle toys, hide-n-seek with treats, and especially discovering new sniffs. Marley wouldn't mind living with other dogs so long as they understand he doesn't like playing rough. He may be able to live with cats who are more confident and do not pounce on him or like to be chased. Health wise, Marley has arthritis which can irritate his hips after lots of walking. He takes medication for this, and he is good at communicating when he needs space if his arthritis is flaring up. He is missing his two upper canine teeth, but this has no impact on his ability to eat. In fact, he would love to take treats gently from your hand all day long if you let him. He also has mild allergies that we believe are environmental. Does not tolerate food with chicken but loves salmon kibble.
