About Maren

Meet Maren! At about 4 and a half years old, this medium-sized Cur mix has already won over the shelter volunteers—she knows how to charm just about anyone. Maren gives her full attention when she's with you, always ready for belly rubs, hanging out, or some goofball fun. She’s the master of enjoying a kiddie pool when the Florida heat kicks in, and she’ll never pass up a good walk. This girl is house broken, crate trained, and energetic, but she does pull a bit on leash, so she’ll need someone willing to work on that with her. While Maren has done well with some dogs at the shelter, she’s happiest as the only dog in her home. She does not do well with cats, so a feline-free space is a must. She’s fantastic with people, meeting new friends with a happy, social energy, and she especially loves kids ages 8 and up. In her ideal home, you’ll have a secure 6-foot fence to help her burn off some of that energy safely. Born July 1st, Maren is a Cancer—people say that gives her extra love for family, and with her, you’ll definitely notice that. Ready to give Maren the home she deserves? What are you waiting for?
