About Marlee

Marlee stands out for her giant, expressive ears and her boundless puppy energy. At just over five months old, she already tips the scales at about 40 pounds and looks ready to fill out into a sturdy, athletic dog. Marlee thrives with an active lifestyle and will be happiest with a family who’s always on the move. She has a big heart for people, especially kids, and gets along well with other dogs. With cats, she’s a bit too interested for comfort—you might want to supervise those interactions—but chickens are definitely not a good match for her. Her curiosity around small animals makes her better suited for a barn-free life. Her beginnings are as unique as her ears: found crying behind hay bales in a horse barn, rescued by a kind couple, and nurtured until she made her way to the rescue. The best guess is she’s a Belgian Shepherd and Carolina Dog mix, bringing together a smart, loyal, and energetic personality. She’s ready to be the heart of your home, just waiting for her next adventure. Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
