If adorable, fun and good were all rolled into one you’d get Tina! Oh my goodness this girl is an absolute doll. From her funny little ears to her big smiling face she wins our hearts. She’s a wonderful mix of happy, playful and fun. A stellar dog who just needs a little training to be absolutely perfect. So training is exactly what we’re going to give her. That lack of training is probably the only thing holding her back from the perfect forever home and Pawsitive Change will give her the training she needs. Tina will be headed into our program at Tehachapi State prison and we can’t wait to watch as those new skills she learns changes her life.
Tina like so many others lingered in our shelter system. Young medium and large breed dogs make up the majority of dogs most at risk in public shelters. These dogs often grow up with minimal training and this hinders their ability to find good adopters. So many of them meet the same fate….euthanasia. These are the dogs we’ve been focusing on for our prison training program. We can give them the skills they need to finally find homes.
And Tina is going to win so many hearts. She’s already won ours! During her 3 month stay she’ll gain the basic obedience skills she needs to find her perfect home. We’d love to see her paired up with another fun dog or two as she loves other dogs but really any family would be lucky to call this sweet girl part of their family. We hope you consider making her part of yours.
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.
