About Marli

Sweet, fun-loving Marli is a four-year-old Dachshund who brings puppy energy to everything she does. She thrives on long walks, loves to fetch, and will curl up next to you when it's time to rest. Marli is an affectionate dog who bonds closely with her person, yet greets new people with a warm curiosity. She does best with dogs her own size and really needs a furry playmate who enjoys running, wrestling, and playtime just as much as she does. A fenced yard is a must for Marli—apartments, condos, or townhomes aren’t suitable for this quick-moving girl. She’s cat friendly and would be fine with older children, ideally 12 or up. Marli’s leash manners are still a work in progress, and she’s known to bolt through doors if the chance comes up, so her home should prioritize structure and perhaps invest in some additional training. Full of personality, Marli has a knack for lighting up every space she enters and never fails to make an impression. Marli is ready for a home where activity and love go hand in paw. Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
