Marley Mae the Brindle Belle Beauty

With her gorgeous brindle coat, human-like eyes, and the prettiest ember coloring, Marley Mae is the kind of dog that stops you in your tracks. Add in her happy personality and incredibly loving nature, and you've got a girl who doesn't just catch your attention... she keeps your heart. She's happy, loving, and full of sweet personality, with the cutest little bursts of playful energy mixed in with her cozy, homebody charm.

Marley Mae will take a moment to warm up in new environments or with new people, but once she knows you, she lights up in the most special way. Her tail starts wagging, her goofy side comes out, and suddenly you've gained the most devoted, affectionate companion who just wants to be near you. She tends to open up especially quickly with women, and once you're in her circle, her love is easy, genuine, and completely heart-melting.

Marley Mae is believed to be a pittie mix approximately 4 years old and currently weighs 58 lbs. She is a rescue dog and with any rescue, it's always a mystery and we cannot guarantee breed or age.

Marley really does teach you how to slow down in life and appreciate everything around you. She loves laying out in the backyard, belly up and just soaking it all in like there's no care in the world. She's just a sweet cuddly homebody that thrives in a slower paced environment with people that have the exact same mindset as she does. She loves a good snuggle and can be very affectionate towards the person she bonds with. Marley promises to never pull your arm off looking for love from a stranger. She will take a moment to get to know you before professing her love, but... psst...don't tell her we told you this, but Marleys heart is easily won with patience, gentle voices, and trust. Once you're in her corner, its game over! You'll forever be her favorite person and gain the sweetest little shadow.

The same can be said about Marley when she is meeting new people. She will take a moment to get to know them but as long as she is with the people that she knows, loves, and trusts, she quickly realizes your guests are an extension of her favorite people and she'll be resting her head on their lap and snuggling with them in no time. Marley has been around kids as young as 5 years old and did wonderful around the little girl she met. Keeping her initial shyness in mind, she did have some moments where she got spooked by a loud noise or fast movement she wasn't expecting. Even with that, Marley kept going back to the little girl, was so gentle with her, and it was really sweet watching the two of them sit together and look out the window. Based on her interactions with the little girl she met, we do believe that Marley would make a great addition to a family with 1-2 kids. All she needs is just time to get adjusted in her new environment.

Not only is Marley your next best friend but she will also be your dog's next best friend! She has been introduced to so many different types of dogs and thrives around other dogs. Marley is currently fostered with multiple dogs in the home, and she gets along great with all of them. She is great about matching energies with other dogs, from romping, bouncing, wrestling gently, and throwing paws with dogs who enjoy that style. When play is done, shell calmly walk away and enjoy the fresh air. Marley is shy when she first meets new dogs and will do best in a home with a doggy friend that will allow her to get the lay of the land, feel comfortable, etc. and then the rest is history. Marley is good about sharing treats, affection, couch time, and toys with her dog friends too. We do believe that Marley would also do best in a home with at least one other dog in the home.

Marley also met our house cat Biggie and met him appropriately and was very respectful around him. She did not chase Biggie, nor was she bothered by Biggie jumping or doing what cats do. Biggie also felt comfortable around her as well. We do not know if she has ever lived in a home before with a cat and this was our first time seeing her with one. If you have a cat in the home, we can arrange for her to have a sleepover with a cat upon request. Just let us know!

Marley would do best in a home with a backyard in a more residential area rather than in the heart of the city with all the noises that come with city life. She also just loves spending time outside, sunbathing, and playing with her dog friends. She has fantastic house manners too and her foster says that she is not destructive, has no accidents in the house, and is crate trained as well. Her foster has also shared that she is a wonderful car rider and does great in the car even for longer road trips too. She has been the perfect little passenger princess for rides upwards of 3 hours. No matter how long the car ride is, she is just happy to go along for the adventure. She likes the water too! If you're looking for a sweet, happy dog with personality, affection, and the perfect balance of playful energy and cozy companionship, Marley is ready to bring all of that and more into your life.

We are willing to test Marley Mae with anything you need in order to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make anything happen! Just let us know.

At our 2-acre Texas based property, we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group training and socialization play groups helping them stay confident, well rounded, and adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers are dedicated to each dogs growth and we enjoy seeing their progress!

We go above and beyond to ensure every animal receives exceptional care. Veterinarians consistently praise our medical standards. From routine care to advanced treatments, each dog receives personalized attention. Hard costs for a healthy dog range from $804-$920; heartworm-positive dogs or those needing specialized care can exceed $2,000+. Adoption fees help cover a portion of these expenses, but without government funding, we rely on fundraising to bridge the gap-ranging from $100-$1,000+ per dog.

Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.
