About Marlo

Marlo landed at the rescue after his previous owner surrendered him for reasons that weren’t his fault. He’s taken it all in stride and is now looking for a permanent spot in someone’s home—and ideally their heart. Marlo needs little: a soft bed, good meals, a nice walk, some couch time with you, and, above all, steady affection. He’s a five-year-old, curly-coated Poodle mix with vaccinations current, microchipped, heartworm negative, and neutered. Marlo is not yet house trained, so expect some ongoing work there. Right now, he’s waiting at the Atlas location in Queens. Click apply to start the adoption process.
