Are you right for Marley?
Marley is a young, lively boy aged 1 year and 8 months who is looking for a patient and understanding adult-only home. He is a friendly lad who can sometimes come across as a little rude or pushy when meeting new people, often getting overexcited and jumping up. His training is already underway, and he’s learning to keep all four paws on the floor, so he’ll need adopters who are committed to continuing this positive training. Marley can become overstimulated, which may lead to grabby or mouthy behaviours, so it’s important his new family can recognise these moments and help him regulate with calm, consistent guidance. He’ll need to remain on lead in public places for now while he builds his focus and manners. Marley would benefit from a home where his adopters can visit him multiple times at the centre, working closely with the Training and Behaviour team to support a smooth transition and set him up for success.
Is Marley right for you?
Marley could be the perfect companion if you’re looking for a playful, affectionate dog with a zest for life. He loves to play, especially a good game of fetch with his favourite tennis ball, and enjoys engaging with his humans. He is confident around other dogs when out on walks, though he’ll need continued support to manage his excitement. Marley cannot live with cats, other dogs, or small furries, and will thrive best as the only pet in the home. He has a medium energy level, so he’ll enjoy regular exercise balanced with downtime. Marley can be left alone for short periods (1–4 hours), but this will need to be built up gradually, as he can become worried when left by himself. With love, patience, and the right guidance, Marley has all the potential to grow into a wonderfully well-mannered and loyal companion.

Some of the dogs in our care will need to meet potential owners several times to get to know one another. This lets us see you’re compatible and gives you the chance to build a bond before making a commitment to give them a new home. By taking some time at the beginning to make sure everyone’s comfortable, an adoption is more likely to be successful.
We may also arrange a home visit with you, to see how your house will be set up and check that the garden (if you have one) is secure. This may not be necessary, though, especially if you’ve adopted from us before. Where you already have dogs, we may accept a reference from your vet as an alternative.

If we haven’t found the right match, we’ll continue the search together
If we haven’t found the right dog for you within three months, we’ll let you know your application is closed. We’ll invite you to apply again so we have up-to-date information about you, and we’ll keep looking.
