About Marigold

Meet Marigold, a delightful Australian Cattle Dog mix with a sunny disposition! At 1 year old and around 45 lbs, she’s an energetic girl whose playful spirit will warm any heart. Currently in Mooresville, NC, she can be transported to an approved adopter out of state. Marigold loves to have a good time, whether it’s chasing balls, wrestling with her dog companions, or simply stopping by for a hug. Her enthusiasm is infectious and will remind you to embrace the joy in everyday moments. She plays well with dogs weighing between 19 to 50 pounds and is always eager to meet new pals on walks, greeting them with a wagging tail and lively antics. Though she gets excited, her energy is matched by her affectionate side—she loves giving hugs to her human friends. This playful pup is fully house-trained and does well in her crate for up to eight hours. She's also a fan of car rides! However, she prefers to enjoy her meals and long-lasting chews alone, requiring separate feeding from other dogs. While she shares regular toys well, be cautious with stuffed toys since she likes to shred them. Marigold is on the lookout for a patient, active family who will appreciate both her frolicsome nature and sensitive personality. If you want a companion who lights up your days with charm and joy, Marigold is ready to make your heart sing. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
