About Marley

Marley is now looking for his forever home. Here is his foster-mum’s write-up…

“Marley is a typical 7-month-old labrador……into everything and goes at 100mph……then collapses into a heap and sleeps!

Marley is crate trained and sleeps well from about 10pm until 6.30/7am. His breakfast is served between 7 and 8am and is currently Baker’s puppy food, which he came with and which could do with changing over now.

He likes his cuddles first thing in the morning and will gladly plonk himself on you for a full belly rub.

Morning walks usually between 8 and 9am for an hour and then another long walk at teatime.

We have been working hard on his jumping up on his walks when he sees other dogs and people as he just wants to play. Great positive interactions. We walk him on the extension lead and his command “wait” will be met with him sitting and waiting. I then feed him kibble as a distraction, which has been going great. He walks ok on the lead considering he is a baby but will pull if he gets excited or when out with my grandaughter as he just wants to keep up with her .

Ongoing training is a must. He will mouth so needs to be taught boundaries. He will also chew anything that isnt puppy proofed…..oh and is very excited by cushions!!!

He likes nothing more then lying in front of the log burner in the evening after a long day causing havoc lol!

Due to his high levels of energy, he needs an active home who can offer full stimulation and ongoing training. You will be rewarded trust me. He is easy to train and very very clever.

Due to his high energy levels he needs to be homed with kids 12+ .

Marley hasnt been cat tested.

I personally think he could do with being with another dog for play , learning and social enrichment. He is also happy to be by himself as long as he gets interaction when out on walks.

Marley hasnt been let off the lead so recall training will needs to be continued”.

Marley is fully vaccinated, but will need to stay local to the rescue to be neutered when he is old enough (ideally around 18 months old).

He can be adopted close to Derby, Nottingham, Alfreton, Chesterfield, Newark, Stoke or Burton-on-Trent.

Marley is in foster in Swadlincote.
