Marlene - Catahoula Leopard Dog and Labrador Retriever Dog for Adoption in Monticello, Iowa

Meet Marlene! Those sad eyes? They are the mark of a dog who has spent far too much time in a shelter.

Marlene has been waiting for her chance, and we knew she deserved more. So, we brought her all the way to Iowa in hopes of finding the forever family she has been waiting for.

Underneath those shelter-sad eyes is a happy, playful, curious, energetic, and sweet girl. Marlene has stubby legs, floppy ears, and a personality that is ready to blossom with a family of her own. She knows sit, takes treats nicely, walks on a leash, and is ready to join you for daily adventures.

Marlene gets along with others, keeps her kennel clean, and is crate-trained. She is good with kids ages 7 and up and would do best with a family who can provide structure, routine, daily exercise, and plenty of encouragement as she settles into her new life.

Marlene has spent enough time waiting. Now, she needs someone who will look past the sadness in her eyes and show her that her best days are still ahead.

Could you be the forever family she has been waiting for? Come meet Marlene and help give this sweet girl the happy ending she deserves!
