Marley

Female (Altered) — Date of Birth: 06/27/2009 (16 years old (Senior))

Great Dane / Shepherd Mix

Marley is a very sweet, well-behaved Great Dane/German Shepard mix so please don't hold her name against her! She is between a year and two years old, 55 pounds, completely housebroken, and spayed. When she came to our home, she already knew basic commands and was housebroken. She definitely was someone's pet before ending up at the shelter and clearly had her world rocked before being rescued by AFH. She would be the perfect dog for someone who wants that extremely loyal companion who doesn't need a lot of exercise and will always be lying at your feet, leaning on your leg, or very nearby throwing her Kong or stuffed animal up in the air and chasing it! She currently is living with two dogs and a cat but is still adapting to the cat (she does not try and hurt the cat but will not leave it alone!). Marley has very many traits of the Great Dane breed. She is easy going and very mild mannered with people, is slightly wary of strangers at first, but warms up quickly (especially with a treat!). She has a very deep Great Dane voice and will alert when she hears an unusual sound outside. Like the Great Dane, she is dominant and pushy with other dogs so would be best in a home with a dog that is submissive. She also would be perfectly fine as an only dog but would not do well being left for long periods of time. The good news is she does not slobber and drool like the Great Dane! Marley really is an absolute sweetheart. If you have room in your home and heart for Marley, please contact AFH.
