Meet Marley

Marley is a stunning little brown pup with caramel markings and the most beautiful blue eyes you've ever seen. At just 5 pounds, she may be small, but she's full of sweetness and charm. Crate trained and progressing impressively with potty training, Marley follows a steady routine and handles it like a champ.

She adores cuddles, especially with her foster's grandson, and happily welcomes new people with a loving spirit. Marley rides quietly in her travel crate and can be left alone for several hours without issue. She's social, affectionate, and loves being part of the family's daily life.

While she's still in her puppy-chewing phase, she hasn't shown any destructive behaviors beyond normal teething curiosity. Marley is a gentle, people-loving little girl who is off to a wonderful start and ready to find a forever home where she can continue to grow, snuggle, and shine.
