About Marlo
Marlo is around four and a half years old, believed to be a Saint Bernard and Pit Bull mix. She’s a striking dog built with muscle and topped off with big, goofy, affectionate eyes. Marlo has called the shelter home for more than three years, winning over every staff member with her sweet nature and love of cuddles. She bursts with energy and thrives on activity, especially long walks—she does well in a harness—and time in fenced yards to run and play with every kind of ball she can find. She’s an absolute soccer enthusiast when it comes to toys, chasing anything from tennis balls to oversized bouncy ones. Marlo sometimes gets a little too enthusiastic during play, attempting to grab the toy at the same moment you do. She’s known to jump up for kisses or sneak onto your lap for snuggles. This is a dog that wants both adventure and affection from her people. Marlo needs a strong and active adopter who can help guide her with consistent structure. She requires a home where she’s the only pet, and older kids would be best because of her size and energy. If you’re up for a lively companion with heart and stamina, Marlo might be a perfect match. She’s ready for her next chapter after waiting far too long. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
