About Marley & Cocoa

Marley & Cocoa recently joined the rescue after their dad passed away. They were taken in by his daughter, but her two German Shepherds weren't friendly with them, leading to a heartbreaking decision to rehome these affectionate pups. This brother-sister pair is very bonded, and Cocoa won’t go anywhere without Marley. Both are 5-year-old Doxie/Corgi mixes with short coats, boasting beautiful red, chestnut, and white markings. Although they've been through a lot, they possess the sweetest, gentlest demeanor. Marley & Cocoa get along well with other dogs and children, though they may be a bit shy initially. For their well-being, they need to be adopted together. If you’d like to give these loving companions a forever home, please fill out an application online.
