About Marigold

Marigold is a sunny little puppy with a mix of Chihuahua, Beagle, and Pug in her background, and her disposition matches her name. She’s happy and loving once she trusts you and has a big playful streak, content to entertain herself quietly with toys until she’s ready to cuddle up at bedtime. Still, she’s shy around new people or quick movements, and can be startled easily—she’s one of those sensitive dogs who needs people who will let her approach first. Submissive peeing can happen if someone reaches for her before she’s ready, but with patience and steady kindness, her trust and confidence are building day by day. Still working on housetraining, Marigold is smart and doing well with stairs for her age, but like any puppy, she’ll need routine and gentle guidance going forward. Because she’s still so cautious, a home with adults or much older children will suit her best; younger kids’ sudden movements may overwhelm her right now. She also gets along well with other dogs. Marigold came in as a stray, so there’s not much background on her, but she’s now spayed and ready for her next chapter in Mukwonago, WI. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
