This big fluffy ball of sunshine is young Marley, and he is turning out to be the bestest boy ever! Marley is full of life, and his enthusiasm for enjoying every single moment is contagious. Take one look at his pretty face and you cannot help but smile. If you allow him to cuddle with you and give him a belly rub, all your worries will no longer exist. Marley had OCD surgery a few months ago, but he has since recovered nicely and is doing fabulous overall. We would strongly recommend his furever people keep up with a multi-modal plan to keep him mobile, healthy, and active. During the day, Marley likes to hang out by your side as you go about doing your chores, and he is always happy to lend a helping paw when needed :) When it comes to training, this intelligent boy picks up cues with ease and is eager to please. In fact, he makes all training sessions fun and he is an excellent partner to show off your training skills. We have no doubt Marley will thrive in a loving home where his people will involve him in everyday activities, shower him with affection, and continue to enjoy all the best things life has to offer. This wonderful boy may just be the missing piece of your family - what are you waiting for?

NYS Registered Rescue # RR102

Our goal is to assess every application on its own merits. Key considerations are: 1) the experience of the applicant with large breed dogs 2) children in the household or regularly visiting the household are ready for a large-breed dog who is a guardian by nature and 3) the sex of other dogs currently residing in the household to avoid same-sex aggression issues. For puppies under six months old, the applicant’s ability to socialize the puppy with older dogs is a priority.
