This week we’re highlighting MARLEY.
Age: 8 years 3 months
Adoption fee: $250
About
Miss Marley is an affectionate eight-year-old female chocolate Labrador mix that would make a great companion for a retired couple or person.
Whether it’s riding in the car – her all-time favourite activity – watching TV, gardening or going for walks, Marley is happy to be wherever her human is.
Still a puppy at heart, she has a great zest for life and just loves people.
Upon arrival at her new foster home, she went investigating – everywhere, inside and out – and once satisfied, she turned her attention to her human company.
They obviously got the tick of approval because there was lots of tail-wagging, plenty of kisses and pats and then she planted herself on her foster mum’s foot, as if to say, “this’ll do me”.
Marley has been a much-loved family pet and lived contentedly with another dog.
However, given her age, size and strength, a proper introduction is absolutely essential.
There are some dogs she simply doesn’t like.
She is untested with cats.
Although she is good with children, we consider her too big and strong to suit little ones.
She walks well on a lead and weighs about 30.5kg.
Marley is desexed, vaccinated and microchipped and her adoption fee is $250.
Preference will be given to homes where someone is around most of the time and the children, if any, are 10+.
As always, good fencing is essential.
If you are interested in meeting her, please complete the online adoption application at southerndownsark.com.au/apply-to-adopt/ and one of our volunteers will be in touch.
She lives in Warwick, Queensland.
