MARBLE - MOUNTAIN CUR / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Mountain Cur / Mixed (short coat). Meet Marble! A 3 year old, fully vetted, 46 lbs sidekick. She is currently being fostered by a vet student in KY until she comes to NJ on Nov 2. Here is a lot of great info about Marble from her foster. Marble is the sweetest girl. All she wants to do is feel loved and cuddle up next to you. She is extremely loving right from the start and will be attached to you your every move. She is very good with going to the bathroom outside, never had any accidents inside. If she really needs to go out, she lets me know by pawing at door. When I received her from the shelter, I was told she was a flight risk. We have been working at not darting at the door when it is opening. Now that she has been more comfortable in the home, she does not feel the need to run out. She will come to the door wanting to greet me rather than escape. Marble absolute loves going on walks. I think she now is associating going outside with being a positive thing. She is very good on walks, never pulls on her leash. She is also very good with adapting to your lifestyle. She knows when it’s time to potty, when she needs to calm down while I’m working, etc.. Marble is also great in the crate. She doesn’t like going in but she never puts up a fight and she goes in for a treat. When I leave the house, I normally do not crate her. She is good on her own, I watched her on the camera and all she does is nap on the couch. She is also VERY food motivated. She takes her food perfectly, sits and waits for me to put her bowl down. This girl loves her treats. She is super good around visitors and just wants someone to give her some scratches and love. Once this girl gets comfortable and feels safe, she really starts to show her personality. She’ll always need to rest her paw on me if we’re sitting on the couch together. She really is a perfect girl. To adopt Marble fill out an application at .peace4paws/adoption-application on a laptop or computer.
