It’s tough in the rescue world right now. Dozens and dozens of dogs with no hope of ever making it out alive and then what makes it even harder is the condition these dogs arrive at the shelter in. Horrible condition! Do we as humans just not care any more? Are we so blind to suffering we simply allow it to happen? In what world is hair loss and skin infections on a baby acceptable? Why wouldn’t this pups humans treat the issue when it 1st started? Nope treatment was never given and instead this tiny baby, and so many others just like her, are unceremoniously dumped to be someone else’s problem. In what world is this considered acceptable?
So here we go again, picking up the pieces. Picking up the remnants of someone else’s disposable mindset. But this isn’t trash and it’s beyond time we treat each of these lives with the value they deserve! We are determined to ensure from this point forward Phyllis’ life is nothing short of amazing! It’s not often you find a Great Pyrenees puppy in rescue. Our guess is that her previous family couldn’t be bothered with her skin condition so they just dumped her at the shelter instead. Mange is very easy to treat if they had just gotten her the medical care and medication she needed her skin would never have gotten so bad.
Phyllis is currently recovering in foster care. She has no idea she looks a little funny and is missing patches of fur. She’s a happy, bouncy goofy puppy. She loves other fun dogs and every human she meets. True to her breed we expect she’ll be very large full grown and like all puppies will need a solid training foundation to grow into an amazing adult dog. Her ideal home world have large dog experience, understand the needs of a guardian breed and have the ability to provide her with the structure and routine she needs as she grows.

Each adoptable pet will be introduced on Facebook
Each pet will have its own profile here on the website
All pets will be spayed or neutered
All pets will be micro-chipped and shots will be up-to-date
Each pet has their own application to complete—make sure you use the right one (linked from their bio)
It’s important to us that each pet goes not just to a great home but to the “right” home. Our foster parents work with each pet to get to know them and their needs.
We try hard to list all of the pertinent info about each pet on the site so you can choose the pet that will fit with your family/lifestyle. If you don’t see a specific pet on the site, he/she is not ready for adoption. Please be patient and wait until the bio is listed. We don’t decide on a “first come, first served” basis but rather on a “who’s the very best fit.” So, don’t panic.
It’s not a quick process. We receive dozens of applications for each pet so please be patient. If you’re shortlisted you’ll be contacted as soon as possible.
If selected to meet one of our pets and you currently have pets, you’ll be asked to do an in-person pet intro; we don’t do the long-distance adoption thing. If you live out of town, plan a fun road trip to meet the pet in person.
Don’t be discouraged if your application is not selected. Remember, we get a lot of them! Trust us, the best fit for you is coming.
If you’re lucky and you do adopt a super amazing pet from Marley’s Mutts, don’t ever hesitate to reach out to us for training, medication, or behavior questions. We’re here for you, and your pet.
