Meet Marley, the bravest little heart you'll ever love. Marley is a soft spirit with a story that shows just how resilient dogs can be. When she first arrived at the shelter, her nails were so overgrown they curled into her feet. A sign that she hadn't known proper care or comfort for far too long. It's believed she experienced some trauma or neglect in her past, and she carries a bit of understandable caution because of it. Despite all of this, Marley has blossomed and continues to do so.

Marley gets along beautifully with other dogs and would be happy to share a home with a canine friend who can show her the ropes and offer extra confidence.
