Adopt a Whippet / Labrador Retriever / Mixed (short coat)
Marco the Dog needs a home
Birthdate (estimated): 2/18/2013 estimated
Hey there, I'm Marco! The first things you need to know about me is... I'M A SERIOUS LAP DOG! I love to snuggle; sometimes even more than playing with my FFS (Furry Foster Sister). AND...I can talk! Have you ever seen the video of Husky puppies yammering on? Well I'm not a Husky but I can yammer with the best of em! My HFM (Human Foster Mom) laughs so much I bet I could be on YouTube.
I was adopted by a family when I was just a pup and was with them until recently (about 4 yrs). Unfortunately I was a little uncertain about the little people that showed up and took my Mom and Dad's attention away. I feel like maybe I would do better with kids a little older that understand me more.
I used to live in the country and got to roam around outside a bit but now I'm in the city. I'm pretty sure I could live either way. My FFS is a stinker when out for walks but I'm a complete gentleman. I just walk along side my HFM and take in the smells.
Hmm...what else do you want too know!? I'm house trained, I love car rides and I don't love being shut in my kennel but I tolerate it when the humans are gone for the day and I like to nap in there when I need some alone time. I'm so good I can even sit and wait for you to say I can eat.
There are a couple of things I'm working through at no fault of my own. It turns out my little rendezvous in the woods came back to bite me...literally! I got lymes disease from those pesky ticks!! But not to worry I'm on medication and show no signs of it affecting my health!
My Foster Mom says I'm incredibly sweet! I've been around other dogs my whole life but I wasn't real fond of the Male dog my 1st family fostered. I'm alright with my current FFS but she kind of bugs me sometimes so I growl/snort at her. I might be a little jealous but I think I'm getting over it.
So that's me in a nut shell! If you want to know more and want to meet me just fill out an app! I'll be waiting!!
