Marlow is five years old and has both loving and protective traits. He’s house trained and crate trained—he’ll respond to the command “Go to jail” with a treat and settles in calmly. Marlow does well with small dogs and is gentle when playing with them, but he can be reactive and bark at larger dogs, especially through fences. He guards his food and needs to eat separately, though he’ll join other dogs for treats when his name is called. New people in the home make him uneasy, so he’s typically kept in another room when visitors are around. He doesn’t counter surf or dig in the trash, enjoys walks, and rides quietly in the car. Marlow sleeps beside the bed and prefers to stay near his people. He likes toys, chew bones, hugs, and kisses on his head. He’s currently working on managing his barking at dogs next door. Marlow’s best match is someone who appreciates his loyalty and gives him a structured routine. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
