Boxer / Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (Short Coat)

Description:

Marley Girl (my foster dog up for adoption): Marley's body is still catching up to the size of her head. I suspect her head is bigger then her body because she's overloaded with brains and personality. If Marley was human she would be the type of person that screams "Bingo" even though she doesn't have bingo...just to be extra silly. Marley has been with me for approximately 3 months and has mastered being crate trained and housebroken. Marley has successfully completed professional training through a reputable daycare/board/training facility. She is trained off-leash, e-collar, transitional leash and basic commands. A fan favorite in her training program, she socializes well with other dogs and is established in their system if you need a place for her to stay when away. In the home environment with proper introductions Marley will enjoy the company of a dog sibling but she's also quite happy without one as well. No cats or birds. Marley loves to play hard but understands relaxation time and crate rest. She thrives for her own human(s). Her adoption fee is being covered and training will be provided for her new owner(s) at no cost. While Marley enjoys her walks she enjoys the freedom of a fenced in yard. She takes her job seriously of keeping squirrels out of the yard. She is up to date on vaccines, spayed, weighing in at a lean/muscular 53 lbs, approaching 2 years old and having the most unique coat; Marleys beauty is appreciated more in person as photos don't do her justice. Her head is pitch black, body smokey grey, black stripe down her back, 4 white paws and smidgen of white on her chest. Her face is Boxer and Lab with a hint of "Pitty". And we say yes she has Pitty in her....its a "pitty" she was surrendered to a shelter, and its a "pitty" she doesn't have a person to call her own. Reason for surrender was family moving and unable to take her with them. Marley does not care for the sound of a vacuum or leaf blower so we crate her and she's content. Crying babies are not music to her ears either. Older children are acceptable humans in her mind. She travels well in a car. I have trained her to be tethered and rest in her bed during outings. Excitement goes from zero to 10 with water - she loves the hose, sprinklers and kiddie pool we have for her. Visits to the lake where she can romp is an activity she relishes, too. There is an adoption application process through the respective organization I'm fostering for as well as reference checks (veterinarian checks if applicable). If you're interested in meeting Marley, her foster can be reached at 973 420 4633. Feel free to share her story! Thank you for taking the time to read another story of a sweet dog searching for a furever home!
