Story
Bella is a gorgeous 4 year old Pit Bull with a loving personality to match. She has officially outgrown her puppy phase and is housebroken, crate trained and non-destructive. She enjoys car rides, camping trips, taking treats from hands gently and chewing on Nylabones. Bella wants to cuddle with her new family members wherever they’ll allow her, whether it’s a bed, couch, or just on the floor - she will respect your wishes and be grateful for the belly rubs however she can get them! We are seeking an experienced adopter for Bella - ideally one who knows and understands her breed and can set her up for success in her new forever home. Bella would do best as an only dog in a home without children. Her new family will need to understand owning this breed comes with certain responsibilities that should be taken seriously. She is not a good fit for trips to the dog park. A securely-fenced yard to run around in would be wonderful. Bella is an experienced make up remover.

Story
Meet Hunter, a year 4 year old cuddle bug! Hunter's favorite activities are to snuggle and nap on the couch, give kisses and wag his tail! He is a pretty low energy guy but does enjoy going on walks or chewing sticks in the backyard. Hunter thrives off of routine and structure, he loves learning his boundaries and place in the household and on walks! He can get excited when meeting new people and animals, because of this we are asking for an experienced owner so he can be safe while meeting and engaging in new environments. Also, due to him getting excited, we are asking that no children under the age of 13 are to be in the household. Hunter is fully house trained and crate trained. We want Hunter to excel in his new life and be able to warm your heart just as much as he has warmed others'! We would love to answer any further questions or provide any other information. Hunter is nothing short of loyal, loving, and silly and we hope to find a home that will embrace that!

JACK AVAILABLE FOR: Adoption BORN: January 2018 SEX: Male BREED: Boxer/Pit Bull Terrier Mix WEIGHT: 55 lbs. MARL ARRIVAL: Jack was transferred to MARL from another facility. BACKGROUND: Sometimes it easier to describe a dog with a simple phrase and for Jack, that phrase is "a whole lot of dog!" Whatever he is up to, he always puts his heart into everything he does 110%. Whether he's playing with other dogs, working on training or being a 60 lb. lap dog, you can be sure he's doing it with a smile on his face and a wag in his tail! His fun-loving energy is contagious and he's waiting for you to swing by MARL to meet him but be prepared--you're sure to fall in love! COMPATIBILITY: Based on our evaluation, we feel that Jack has the potential to get along with other dogs. Jack would do best in a home without cats. MEDICAL NEEDS: None.

ROCKY AVAILABLE FOR: Adoption BORN: May 2015 SEX: Male BREED: Boxer/Labrador Retriever Mix WEIGHT: 55 lbs. MARL ARRIVAL: Rocky was surrendered to MARL because his owner could no longer care for him. BACKGROUND: Say hello to Rocky! Rocky was surrendered because his owner couldn't care for him, and now he's on the hunt for a great new home! To him, the perfect home would have at least one person he could devote himself too as he is all about spending time with his people. Rocky can be a little uncomfortable around men he has never met but it doesn't take him long to warm up. Even though he's a big guy, Rocky loves to pretend that he's a tiny lap dog and cuddle up with his favorite people--he's pretty much the ideal date for a movie night at home on the couch! If you've been searching for a constant companion, then Rocky is the dog for you! COMPATIBILITY: Based on our evaluation, we feel that Rocky has the potential to get along with other dogs and cats. Rocky would do best in a home with children 15 years or older. MEDICAL NEEDS: None. https://www.marleague.org/animal/rocky-4/
