Meet Marley — a 1-year-old, 40-pound mixed-breed heartthrob with a tan coat, soulful brown eyes, and irresistibly pointy ears. He’s not just adorable, he’s unforgettable.

A Rough Start, a Second Chance

Marley’s journey began when he was found as a stray in Dallas in June 2024 at just four months old. He was brought to Dallas Animal Services but was lucky enough to be adopted the very next day. Since then, he’s been living with a loving family who has helped him grow into the sweet, well-mannered boy he is today.

Personality & Playtime

Marley is the perfect blend of play and chill. He enjoys walks, chasing balls, and spending time outdoors with his toys. But he’s just as happy snuggling up on the couch for a quiet movie night—especially if it’s a dog movie!

With a medium energy level and loyal heart, Marley is a wonderful companion who thrives on affection and attention. He’s protective of his family, loves kids, and will be your biggest fan and most dedicated shadow.

Best as an Only Dog

While Marley currently lives with two other dogs, he prefers to be the center of attention and would do best as the only pet in his future home. He’s not aggressive—he just loves having his humans all to himself. For the right person or family, Marley will be the most devoted companion you could ask for.

Training & Behavior

This clever boy is house-trained, crate-trained, and walks well on leash. He’s neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. Marley knows several commands—including “go to sleep!”—and when he hears it, he happily trots over to his bed, ready for dreamland. He’s a quick learner and eager to please.

Ready for His Forever

Marley has so much love to give, and he’s ready to share his whole heart with a family who will do the same for him. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate, and well-behaved companion who’ll always be excited to see you, Marley just might be your perfect match.
