Shepherds known for their loyalty, bravery and brains. The right shepherd in the right home can be an amazing family dog and that’s exactly what Convict was. The guardian of a sweet family with young children. He loved his children and loved his role in the family but sadly he lost everything in an instant. We are just thankful we could help this sweet boy pick up the pieces and start over. His new journey is taking him through Pawsitive Change at Tehachapi State prison.
Convict and another Marleys Mutts dog Rusty lived in the same home. Sadly the family fell on hard times and lost everything. They were struggling to care for themselves and their small children which made it even more difficult to care for the furry members of their family. They desperately needed help and so we stepped up to help them by taking both Convict and Rusty. Both dogs are getting their 2nd chance in Pawsitive Change. Rusty has found his new home and Convict is working hard and hoping the perfect family will notice him.
Convict has some confidence but can also be a little insecure in new situations. His time in prison is focused on boosting up his confidence and giving him additional skills most adopters want. Shepherds are great dogs and Convict just needed a little help to shine! If you’re looking for a wonderful family Shepherd who loves children and does well with other dogs Convict just might be the boy for you!
Here’s what you need to know about adopting a cat or dog from Marley’s Mutts:
- 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.
