There are SO many great things we can say about Marky Mark. He is a big ole goofy goober that is always so happy. No matter what is going on around him, he is always so happy and up for anything you throw at him. Instantly when you meet him you catch yourself saying, “man that is a really cool dog,” and it’s true! The obsession with Marky Mark is almost immediate and it’s pretty much become a recurring theme with everyone that meets him. He is a total lover boy with people and with dogs, he is a happy medium of playful and snuggly, and let’s not forget to mention he’s incredibly good looking as well. So go ahead and get prepared for your camera roll to be taken over by Marky Mark and buy some more storage space on your phone because you’re going to need it.
Watch his video and you'll love him just as much as we do: https://youtu.be/Mq5kwdPMB7M?si=cIAOglXKClBUxxU9
Marky Mark is a pittie mix approximately 1 year old and currently weighs 56 lbs. He’s one of those dogs that has the perfect amount of squish wrinkles and muscle. Just enough chunk for those irresistible squish moments and just the right amount of muscle to keep up with an adventurous lifestyle. He is a rescue dog and with any rescue, it’s always a mystery and we cannot guarantee breed or age.
Marky is a social butterfly that loves people and loves adventures. He’s the perfect companion to take with you on hikes, trips to the beach, or even if you’re wanting a dog to take with you to meet up with friends at your local brewery or park, he’ll be a great boy to have around. We can also see him being a friendly co-host if you’re someone that likes to have friends and family over for BBQ cookouts in the backyard. Marky is also a boy that appreciates downtime as well. He can be a super social guy but does enjoy quiet time too. He really is one of those dogs that can do both. So if you’re looking for a fun social butterfly and also a cuddle buddy at the end of the day, Marky is your guy!
Marky is such a phenomenal dog and he is very dog friendly! He loves to play with his buddies but is also respectful of the dogs that don’t want to play with him. He does try to encourage play at first and as soon as he realizes the other dogs aren’t interested in playing he’s off trying to find a new playmate, doing his own thing, exploring all the smells or he’s getting spoiled with affection. Marky has also shown us that he is is great with puppies too and easily earns the "favorite fun uncle" title. He is the perfect mix of playful and calm, a happy medium. In a home, he would be best placed with another dog that can do both, play and also chill. Marky also isn’t the type of dog that needs another dog in the home to help him feel comfortable or to satisfy his energy needs. He is a confident, happy guy by nature and knows how to match whatever energy you need from him. When it comes to kitties, Marky would be best placed in a home without a cat friend.
We know, he already sounds perfect and that’s because he is, but wait there’s more! Marky is a smart pants too, loves treats, and is eager to please. He already knows how to sit, responds well to corrections from his handlers, and is fairly easy to walk on a leash. He does pull initially out of excitement because he loves to go on walks, but a simple leash correction is all it takes to remind this hunk that he needs to walk like a gentleman on leash. Marky is also crate trained, potty trained, and has shown to have great house manners as well. His eagerness to please and willingness to learn means that any additional training you want to do with him will be a breeze and enjoyable for you both.
Marky loves to be outside exploring all the smells, zooming around, and sunbathing in the sun. We believe he would be his happiest self in a home that has a backyard where he can do all of his favorite things, one being playing with toys. He loves toys, especially plushy ones with squeakers, and will happily bring them back to you as well. Marky truly is the total package. He is handsome, playful, affectionate, and full of personality. The kind of dog who wins people over instantly and then keeps them smiling every single day after. We have not seen Marky with kids just yet and we can certainly arrange for him to meet some kiddos upon request. Based off what we already know about him, we do believe he would make a great companion for a family with kids. If you’ve been waiting for that fun-loving best friend who will happily join you for adventures and then cuddle up when the day is done, Marky is ready to fill that role perfectly.
We are willing to test Marky Mark with anything you need in order to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make anything happen! Just let us know.

https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about creating lasting matches between dog and family for long term success, and take the time to ensure each adoption is a fit through our matchmaking process.
At our 2 acre Texas based property, we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group training and socialization play groups helping them stay confident, well rounded, and adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers are dedicated to each dog’s growth and we enjoy seeing their progress!
We go above and beyond to ensure every animal receives exceptional care. Veterinarians consistently praise our medical standards. From routine care to advanced treatments, each dog receives personalized attention. Hard costs for a healthy dog range from $804-$920; heartworm-positive dogs or those needing specialized care can exceed $2,000+. Adoption fees help cover a portion of these expenses, but without government funding, we rely on fundraising to bridge the gap—ranging from $100–$1,000+ per dog.
Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.
