About Marlena

Marlena is a spayed female dog weighing around 50 lbs, bursting with energy and happiness. Approximately three years old, she boasts velvety black fur that feels as soft as a rabbit's coat. While she has a unique smile due to a slight misalignment in her jaw, this only adds to her charm and does not affect her health. Affectionate and cuddly, Marlena loves being close to her person—more like a lap dog than anything else. She enjoys greeting other dogs with her playful energy, though not every dog appreciates her enthusiastic approach. Marlena thrives with puppies and young dogs but has a high prey drive and does not get along with cats. She is house trained, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. Plus, she's ready for her forever home after spending several years with the rescue. Marlena is waiting for someone who can give her the love she deserves. She can be transported to various New England cities with an adoption fee of $300, which includes travel. Let’s help this lovable girl find her new family!
