Marley - Golden Retriever and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption

Meet Marley!

Marley is a 75-lb, 3-year-old Golden Retriever mix with a heart every bit as big as he is. This sweet, friendly boy loves people and is always happy to soak up attention. Start petting him, and he'll likely roll right over to show off his belly and ask for rubs. Despite his size, Marley is surprisingly easy to walk on leash and may just need a brush up on his leash skills. He has been wonderful with children, and doesn't jump up on people. He's the kind of dog who is content to be part of the family and spend time with his favorite humans.

Marley enjoys a good game of fetch and loves chewing on bully sticks. Like many Golden mixes, he is very food-motivated and has an impressive appetite. If there's food around, Marley will do his best to investigate, so keeping snacks and leftovers secure is a must! He is both potty trained and crate trained, making him an easy companion to welcome into a new home.

If you're looking for a gentle giant who is affectionate, family-friendly, and always ready for belly rubs, Marley could be the perfect match. If you meet this lovable boy-you might just fall in love! Marley is being fostered in Staten Island, NY and his adoption fee is $500.

"To adopt this animal, please visit https://www.louieslegacy.org/adopt

All of our animals come spayed or neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, are microchipped, heartworm negative, current on flea/tick and heartworm prevention, dewormed, and treated for any ailments found upon veterinary examination. The adoption fee covers a portion of these services, and makes it possible for us to continue rescuing animals.

For more information on the adoption fees and the adoption process, please complete our adoption application here: https://www.louieslegacy.org/adopt - an application allows us to get to know your family better so we can assess whether the animal you are interested in is a good match for your home. An application does not obligate you to adopt. Please understand that due to the volume of applications some animals receive, we are unable to contact all applicants. If your application is considered a good fit for the animal you are interested in, or even a different pet, a volunteer will give you a call as soon as possible.

We are a foster based rescue and do not have a shelter location where animals can be seen during the week. Please see our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/LouiesLegacy for our weekly adoption album if you are interested in meeting an animal in person. Not all animals attend every adoption event, please check our Facebook page for animal event times and locations before you make a trip to meet a specific animal."

The Golden Retriever is a friendly, intelligent, and gentle dog breed known for its golden colored, water repellent coat. They are highly sociable and great with families, children, and other pets, making them popular as therapy and service dogs. With a love for outdoor activities and water, Golden Retrievers excel in various dog sports like agility and obedience. They require regular exercise, mental stimulation, and grooming to maintain their health and happiness. Overall, the Golden Retriever is a versatile and beloved companion dog breed.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
