About 38551 - Marley

Marley is an adorable, shy Beagle who is looking for a special and gentle person. She is 4yrs old and would do best in an adult home.  Marley wants to be friendly towards people but she is cautious first. If you are calm and gentle, she will come over to sniff and greet you. It is when she sees a hand coming at her that she remembers something that makes her cower.

Marley needs to find a very patient person who has time to sit with her and just pet her. She needs someone to show her that she can trust you and does not have to be afraid. Loud voices, upset people and yelling make her unsure. Quick movements with your hands make her unsure. If you are so slow and gentle, she will melt under your touch and roll over for a belly rub. This is the sign that you are doing well showing her she can trust you.

If you have another dog at home, it would be recommended to bring them by to meet Marley. She has done well around at least one dog so far. This sweet girl deserves the chance to learn that people are good and she does not have to be afraid or to defend herself. It appears she may not be a dog that will do well in social settings with other people. She will need a slow introduction and will need you to help her feel safe. She just breaks our hearts to see her worried of hands. Basic training will help raise her confidence too.

To start the adoption process for this pet, visit the shelter during our animal viewing hours. After having a visit with them, you can fill out an adoption application at our facility.
