History: Marlys is a super sweet boy who arrived to rescue in desperate need of a second chance. He is such a handsome and striking boy who is ready to meet his forever home soon!
A Note from the Foster: Marlys, who we call Marly, is a calm, sweet nearly 3-year-old handsome miniature male poodle who has the cutest black markings on his soft gray coat. He has made great progress in many areas since entering foster care. Marly is learning to do his business outside, having had only one accident to date while we establish a routine. He is also learning to navigate stairs inside and outside the home. Marly enjoys the companionship of our much larger resident standard poodle and follows him everywhere. He has learned to steer clear when the big guy does his zoomies! Marly dearly loves to be outside exploring or just hanging out. When that's not possible, a favorite spot is at a low window. He is curious about everything and enjoys lap time and lots of petting and ear rubs. Loud noises and sudden movements can still startle him, though he quickly recovers. He eats well and enjoys trying new snacks. Marly keeps his crate very clean, using it for overnights without complaint and sometimes voluntarily for rest during the day. We have no cats or children in the home so his responses are unknown in those areas. Marly is discovering just how awesome it is to be in a loving home with couch privileges and he is looking forward to being your furever friend.

Adoption Status: Is this dog available? Submitting an application is the best first step to learning if a dog is still available. There is a chance this dog could have a pending adoption when your application is submitted, however our team will offer approved applicants to be put on a waiting list for that dog. Additionally, we can make recommendations on other dogs that may be a match. Pending adoptions do not mean the adoption is finalized. Why did we implement this change? We implemented this update because, unfortunately, dogs were pending for applicants for several weeks and then the applicant would change their mind. This happens more often with puppies, as applications are submitted impulsivly more often for them. Our process is great because it takes a little time, so impulsive decisions fade. However it was unfortunate for the dogs, and the foster homes, as then the process needed to be re-started. By securing a wait-list we are able to move forward more quickly if a pending adoption falls through. This is a new process for us, so your feedback along the way is helpful! Thank you for supporting rescue and adoption!
