Meet Marilyn Mon-Woof! At 5 months old and 17 lbs, this velvet-black beauty has officially entered her "chaos gremlin turned cuddle queen" era. Marilyn had a tough start in life, rescued along with her brave mama, Lucille Pawll, from a neglectful breeding environment. After spending her first fragile weeks fighting to survive, she has emerged a total champion-healthy, thriving, and ready for her true forever fans. Marilyn treats life like a high-octane action movie, mastering puppy parkour off the furniture and greeting every human and dog like an A-list celebrity. But don't let the zoomies fool you! She is crushing her crate and potty training, and she's learning that sitting politely gets her the most treats. The second she powers down, she transforms into a world-class, velcro lap snuggler. She is fully caught up on all puppy vaccinations & microchipped a scheduled to be spayed next month (included in adoption) so her days of being treated as a profit machine are officially over. If you're looking for a resilient, hilarious goofball who melts into a sweetheart the second she slows down, Marilyn is your leading lady PLEASE READ BELOW: If you are interested in meeting and/or adopting, the first step is to complete an application and read all of our FAQs: https://www.takepawsrescue.org/adopt Please note: Information to determine if you might be a match for one of our animals can only be found on our application. *An inquiry, questions or introduction through Petfinder is NOT an application* All known details about our animals are posted on their profile and updated daily. Other info will be discussed in detail with the foster during the application review process. Due to the high volume of introductions/questions received we ask you to submit an application (that application can be used for any dog with Take Paws Rescue). The adoption fee for adult dogs covers age appropriate vaccinations, microchip, spay/neuter if not yet performed, heartworm test & appropriate heartworm treatment by the rescue's vet. All dogs in our care are also kept up-to-date on HW/Flea Prevention.

Breed labels are given based on information obtained during intake and/or best guesses based on appearance and/or temperament of the dogs and Take Paws Rescue gives no assurance to the accuracy of these labels. Labels are necessary for postings to many animal networking sites, such as our website, Chewy, Pet Finder, and others. These are in no way a guarantee. Additionally, exact age and potential size cannot be guaranteed. ***Take Paws Rescue, based in New Orleans, saves dogs from high-kill shelters across the South, owner surrenders, and discarded dogs with uncertain futures.
