Adopt a Silky Terrier / Mixed (medium coat)

Silky Terrier / Mixed (medium coat) Dog

Marley the Dog needs a home

Wow! See that dog flashing by you - that's Marley! Fastest legs in the kennel! Marley has lots and lots of energy and personality. She will need an active owner who can keep up with her and who will provide her with the stimulation she needs for a happy and healthy life.


Marley's thoughts all seem to be occurring to her at the same time and she is just topsy-turvy trying to do everything all at once. Marley could not live with cats and we think that she would be better off in a home with no young children. She could live with some other dogs her size.


Marley appears to be pee-pad trained. 


Name: Marley


Location: Old City Adoption Center (All our dog meets are by appointment for approved adopters only.)


Breed: Silky yorkie mix (Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable so for most of the dogs we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label)


Age: 2-4 years old


Weight: 16 pounds


Reason for surrender to shelter: Marley's owners could no longer afford to keep a dog.


If you are interested in meeting Marley, please email [email protected] for an application.  If you have questions, please email the above address or contact our adoption staff at 215-298-9680, ext. 16.
