About Marmalade

Marmalade is a sweet six-week-old puppy looking for her forever home. As a mix of Labrador Retriever and Shepherd, she brings the best of both breeds. Currently weighing about 6.5 lbs, she's in the prime of her socialization window, which means she is eager to interact with other dogs, kids, and even cats, provided there's patience and training involved. Living in a foster home in the DC area, Marmalade is full of puppy energy and loves to play. She dreams of a home where she can burn off that energy with toy playtime, puppy zoomies, and cozy snuggles. Future neighborhood walks and making doggie friends excite her as well. Remember, puppies can’t hold their bladders as long, so take that into account if you work a standard 8-hour day. Regular potty breaks are essential. With her youthful spirit and charm, Marmalade is also keen on obedience training to become the well-mannered dog she's destined to be. Although she is not yet spayed, the adoption contract requires that this is handled by her new owner by March 2027. Adopting this playful pup means committing to her health and training. Get ready for some fun and companionship! What are you waiting for? Apply today!
