About Marilyn

Meet Marilyn, a friendly mixed breed Terrier who weighs around 19 lbs. Originally found as a pregnant stray, she raised her puppies before getting spayed. Now she's ready to find a forever home! Marilyn is making her way from Texas to Northern Virginia soon. She’s still young and shows a playful and affectionate personality. While she may not be house trained yet, she gets along well with both dogs and children, making her a great addition to any family. The adoption fee is $400, which covers her routine vet care. Just a reminder, this fee doesn't include spay/neuter costs — adopters will need to have this done and will receive a $100 refund upon proof of sterilization.
