About Marley

Marley, also known as Mar Mar, is a delightful little Shih Tzu puppy who's ready to bring joy to a loving family. At just 9 weeks old and 4.3 lbs, he’s an irresistibly fluffy bundle of energy and charm. This playful pup loves zooming around, playing with his toys, and showing off his antics. When he’s not on the go, Marley enjoys curling up in your lap, proving to be the perfect snuggle buddy. His background story is a testament to his resilience; he was the last puppy left when a caring volunteer rescued him from a worrying situation near the South Texas/Mexico border. Marley is dog-friendly, cat-friendly, and great with children, making him a wonderful family pet. However, being a small puppy, he's likely to need supervision around very young kids. As he adjusts, he’ll thrive in a home that’s ready for the playful puppy phase. With proper training and plenty of love, he’ll learn the ropes and grow into a lovable companion. His fluffy coat will require regular grooming to keep it looking its best, but that’s a small price to pay for this adorable face. If you’re ready for adventures filled with laughter, cuddles, and puppy mischief, Marley is eager to find a forever home where he can flourish. How about giving Mar Mar the loving family life he deserves? Think you are the one? Submit an application!
