"Marley was adopted about 10 years ago. He was a very anxious little guy . When he first came to us, he was a runner. We had to be extremely careful coming and going because he would bolt out the door. He was always on edge. Well what a wonderful dog he is now. With a lot of patience and trust building, he is the best little guy ever. He is very smart and will even try to talk to us. He makes us laugh and brings us joy everyday. He will check on his elderly blind sister and then steal her food at any opportunity. He loves to make a pillow fort.  He is the most lovable and loyal dog. He stays by my side everywhere I go, whether I like it or not. He truly is a part of our family in every way."
