At 15 pounds, this sweet boy proves that you don't need sight to see love – his joyful personality and enthusiasm for life shine through in everything he does. A professional blanket burrower and champion snuggler, Marley brings happiness to everyone he meets. Environment Marley is looking for a home with a fenced yard where he can safely explore and adventure. While he's blind, he doesn't let that slow him down – he just needs a little extra patience while learning new spaces. He uses his crate as a safe home base and would benefit from consistent routines to help him navigate his environment. He's very content being left to his own devices, making him an adaptable companion for working families. Pets & People This social butterfly has done wonderfully with the other dogs in his foster home and loves to play! He's excellent with people, though he may do a quick head turn if surprised by a sudden touch – just his way of saying "Oh, hello there!" He's good with strangers and warms up quickly to new friends. Marley is quite the enthusiastic eater – he loves his food and eats very quickly, but has mastered the art of using a slow-feeder bowl to keep his mealtimes happy and controlled. Health Marley is in good health, taking just a joint supplement to keep him comfortable. While his blindness requires some special considerations, he's adapted beautifully and navigates life with remarkable confidence. He may need some extra support during car rides, preferring to be held or safely secured in a crate. Location Marley is available for adoption from Richmond, Virginia. Please email [email protected] with any questions or complete an adoption application at the button above.
