About Marlow

Marlow is a lively 15-month-old border collie and Labrador mix who's full of personality. She brings joy to every day, often doing somersaults on her toys and being the life of the party. At 75 pounds, she's definitely not a couch potato—playtime is her favorite, and she thrives on energy and exercise. This friendly girl is great with kids, dogs, and even cats. She loves having canine companions, although she does prefer to keep all the toys to herself, so sharing may be an issue with other pups. Marlow can be food protective around other dogs during mealtimes, so she eats in her crate. However, she is very affectionate and loves to greet everyone with enthusiasm when they come home. Her energy level hits a solid "10" as she'd play all day if allowed. She enjoys fetch, tug-of-war, and keep-away games, but she also knows how to relax and can scale back her energy. Marlow learns quickly and responds well to commands such as Sit, Lay Down, and Go to Bed. She communicates her need to go outside by ringing the bells on the door. Marlow has a penchant for annihilating her toys, so having tough playthings and supervision is crucial. Despite her playful antics, she sleeps well in her crate and is house-trained. If you’re ready for a playful companion who can keep you on your toes and loves to be part of the family, Marlow might just be the perfect fit. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
