Lil’ Dude

Posted on by
Sex: Male
Breed: Pit Bull Terrier
Age: 5 months
Lil Dude is a high energy, fun loving pup who has us laughing daily. He absolutely loves to play fetch and is learning to drop his ball/toy at your feet to request another round. Due to early signs of food aggression we implemented some rules at feeding time and he now sits and waits for permission to begin eating. While he is not a cuddler he is always up for a good belly rub and just might sneak in a puppy kiss here and there. Lil Dude is very high energy and will need daily walks and lots of exercise. This little guy just wants to be by your side and watch everything you do, you never feel alone when Lil Dude is around. Because he’s still learning some manners he may not be a good fit for a household with small children as he is still a bit mouthy (we are currently working on that). He does enjoy playing with other dogs but sometimes doesn’t know when enough is enough. He also loves stuffed animals, he’ll carry one around, play with it, sleep with it and make it his best friend. He is crate trained and sleeps through the night. He’ll even let you enjoy your morning coffee before requiring your attention which you will need to prepare for his morning activities. While he has presented some challenges he has also shown he is ready, willing, and able to learn. Continued training will be required with our Marley's Mutts trainer.

Rocky

Sex:  Male
Breed:  Pit Mix
Age:  2 Years
Welcome back Rocky to the Mutt Militia!  Rocky had been previously adopted out by good family, but he had developed some insecurities over the time he was in their care.  Since he was reactive to new people, we felt it was best to take him back and get him some training to help him work though his insecurities and find a home that matched his personality.  He's spent a few weeks with our trainer Robert Villanaeda to get him back into being a more secure dog.  From there hes headed to foster care to take him even further along his journey to adoption.  Rocky is looking for an adopter who will take him out into the world meeting new people and places.  He would be best in a home with another dog buddy to be pals with, and looking for a human that is a strong pack leader to make him feel secure in the world.  Hes good with kids as long as they are respectful of him.  Rocky is a good boy who is looking for the right people to continue his training education and open up the world to him.  If you're looking for a pup like Rocky please apply to adopt him today!

Brown Baron

Sex: Male
Breed: Beagle Mix
Age: 14 Weeks

TO: General M. Mutts

FROM: Sgt. Stubby

RE: Intelligence reports on the Brown Baron

New intelligence on the infamous Brown Baron has been received. Following his dogfight with Capt. Snoopy, Baron was seen in the same POW camp [aka hoarding] in which Capt. Snoopy was found. Baron was apparently testing security measures there as, despite his plump exterior, he can scale thirty-six inch high pens. Baron’s flying style can be described as fearless, even playful. He is just as likely to dive into a furball involving larger, older pilots as he is to pounce from above on solitary aviators his own size. Baron can be recognized when traveling by the trophies (aka toys) he often carries with him and by his frequent stops for meals. Those responsible for Baron’s well-being have been observed to use food and belly rubs to motivate and calm him respectively. But, DON’T be fooled! Baron is highly intelligent and capable of accepting training and learning new skills. He has also shown a solid interest in chew toys.

Reports from inside German High Command suggest they are looking to transfer Baron to a new squadron. These developments should be closely watched, as any new squadron that includes the Brown Baron is almost certainly going to be successful.

Snoopy

TO:        General M. Mutts

FROM:  Commander, American Expeditionary Forces, Army Air Force

RE:        Captain Snoopy

Captain Snoopy was liberated from a POW camp (aka hoarding) in March ’18 after his last mission versus the Brown Baron.  Capt. Snoopy fractured both front paws and only recently had the splint removed from his left paw.  (The bones in his right paw had already set and did not require immobilization.)   Flight Surgeons have determined that Capt. Snoopy is well on the road to recovery and is rapidly regaining the muscle tone lost in his leg while immobilized.  They suggest, however, that hard landings be avoided in the future.

His current squadron leader reports that Capt. Snoopy is happy, playful, and gets on well with the other pilots in his squadron and even with his German (Shepard) nurse (although she does report that he can be a pest).   When not carousing with his fellows he enjoys appropriate chew toys, and sunning himself on the grass or napping on any blanket, bed, or couch available.

Based on the reports of the Flight Surgeons and his current squadron leader, I believe Capt. Snoopy is ready for reassignment to an appropriate squadron that would appreciate this plucky puppy pilot.

Na na na na na na BATMAN!  Welcome the caped crusader to the Marleys Mutts family!  Batman came to us from our rescue partner Reversed Rescue ans is just a bigger version of Ty's dog who is also named Batman.  This big guy looks a tad intimating at first but once you get past his exterior, you'll find that hes got a big heart of gold!   It takes him a bit to warm up to men, but he LOVES the ladies!   Batman is housebroken and crate trained. He is excellent in the leash. He can sit, stay, shake and lay down. He comes when called and sits next to you.   He does like to play rough and be a bit mouthy when playing but we are working on that with him and will need to continue with that training once hes adopted.  This big guy also is really good with other dogs both big and small if hes properly introduced.  He does however think that fluffy little white dogs are fun toys to play with so he would be best in a home without one of those guys.  He hasn't been around kids much and would need to be supervised with them.  Batman is looking for a home with someone who he can be with all day as he has some separation anxiety and will whine in his crate.  He does great when left alone in the crate with peanut butter Kongs and chew bones to keep him entertained.  Batman will need someone who is a strong pack leader and be willing to take him on adventures and to training so he can be the best dog he can once hes adopted.  If you're looking for a dog who is a diamond in the rough Batman is your guy.  Apply to adopt him today!

Tulip

Breed:  German Shepard
Age:  5 Years
Welcome beautiful Tulip to the Marleys Mutts family!  Tulip was rescued from Kern County Animal Services in really bad shape.  She only weighed 35 pounds the day she was rescued when a healthy German Sheppard her size should weigh around 70lbs. We found out that she was suffering from a lot of issues causing her weight to be so low besides being found out at a dump in the middle of the desert.  She had Coccidia, Giardia, kennel cough and a whole slew of other parasites that she picked up in the landfill.  Tulip has gotten over all of those with treatment but still is having some belly troubles that we are working out proper treatment with the vet to make sure she lives a long and healthy life once shes adopted.  Every week she gains more strength and new pieces of her personality start to shine through. Tulip is good with dogs, cats and great with kids.   We've discovered that she is a highly trained dog and can sit, follow, lie down, is great on a leash, and is a gentle girl.  Shes an all around wonderful dog!  She may still need vet care after she is adopted and be on a special diet but that wont stop Tulip from being a wonderful companion to someone.  If you would like to adopt this awesome dog, please apply to adopt her today!

Lopez

Sex:  Male
Breed:  Jack Russell Mix
Age:  8 Months
Welcome Lopez to the Marleys Mutts family!  Lopez came to us when his owner lost her place to live and was faced with no home for him and several other dogs.  Lopez was extremely scared and shut down and petrified of new people.  With some time and love this guy has really made a chance and is now a happy fun loving pupper!  He's learned how to play and fetch toys and balls, learned how to snuggle and be petted without running away, and learned that the trash can is not where he gets his meals from.  Lopez is spunky and full on energy!  Hes got long legs that can jump super high when catching toys, and he loves to run as fast as he can in the yard.  Hes good with other dogs both large and small and is learning to play with them as well.  Lopez would be good in a home with another younger dog to play with and go on walks with.  Hes still getting used to being on a leash and being ok on car rides but hes come a very long way in a short amount of time.  Were not sure how he is around kids just yet, so a home with older kids who like to play too he should be good with them.  Lopez would be an awesome agility dog if someone were to teach him or take him to classes to learn how to direct his energy into it.  If you would like to make Lopez your new family member, apply to adopt him today!
