Marlena - Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Canal Winchester, Ohio

Hi, my name is Marlena! I'm a bubbly, energetic puppy seeking an active family of my own! As with any puppy, I will need patience and understanding as I navigate and learn about the world around me! I'll benefit from reward-based training as I learn about potty training and foundation manners.

I will likely grow to be a small-medium sized dog as an adult and have moderate to high energy levels. I'll also benefit from continued socialization with other dogs, people, sights, and sounds! I am approximately 8 weeks old and weigh between 7-8 pounds.

Marlena is named after a character from the play Water for Elephants that will be showing at the Ohio Theater June 9-14 via CAPA!

Gigi's offers Training and Puppy Classes, as well as Private Behavior sessions and Veterinary Behavioral options to help get families and their new furry family members off on the right paw! Check out: https://gigisbehavior.org

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.
