Meet him today to squeeze that face :)))My foster writes: This sweet pup is basically a walking cuddle with four legs. Always gentle, always well-mannered, and always ready to love, he follows the rules like a pro and steal hearts without even trying. Whether it's a soft nuzzle, a wagging tail, or calmly sitting by your side, this dog's superpower is spreading warmth and happiness everywhere they go. Truly the goodest, snuggliest soul around.Meet Marley!Marley was found roaming the streets and brought to us by police officers, who described him as friendly and easygoing on arrival. He's a social, affectionate boy who seeks out human attention and enjoys pets and snuggles. Shelter life has been a big adjustment, and while he's enthusiastic and wiggly, he's also gentle and eager to connect with people who give him a little guidance.My Ideal HomeMarley would do best with an adopter who enjoys an active routine and is excited to help him build some basic manners. He's still learning how to channel his enthusiasm, so consistency, positive-reinforcement training, and daily mental and physical enrichment will help him thrive. A calm, structured environment will support his continued progress as he gains confidence and strength.Good with Kids?Best with older, dog-savvy kids. Due to his excitable greetings and jumpy behavior, a home without very young children is recommended.Good with Other Pets?Marley has limited history with other animals. In the shelter, he has shown difficulty during close dog greetings and may react strongly at first. He may do best as the only dog, or with slow, carefully managed introductions guided by an experienced adopter or trainer.Leash MannersWalks with moderate pulling and lots of curiosity. He benefits from guidance, treats, and practice to help him stay focused and polite while out and about.Overall HealthArrived significantly underweight and is currently on a refeeding plan. Otherwise healthy and expected to continue improving with proper nutrition and care.Behavior DeterminationLevel 1. Marley is friendly and social but lacks basic manners and impulse control. He will benefit from training focused on calm greetings, attention, and basic cues using force-free, reward-based methods.Other Fun Facts• Big fan of snuggles and human attention• Highly social and loves being near his people• Enjoys toys and treats and is motivated to learn• Ready for a fresh start with someone who'll help him shine Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: Black Weight: 41 Age: 4yrs 2mths 0wks
