Marley

Marley - Adopted!

It has been an honor to write the second half of this little man’s story. He has been through so much, including a full mouth extraction. Although he has no teeth left, Marley’s life will forever be better because of our incredible team. He was dying and we brought him back to life. We built him up, found him a wonderful home and provided much-needed medical care. His mouth was rotting and infected from poor diet and lack of proper care but those days are over for this deserving little trooper. He is loved and will forever be warm inside his new home.

If you follow us on social media, you know about Marley. This tiny 7 pound angel lived inside for 6 years and then was forced to live outside, alone in a cage for 3 years. (He’s 9 years old) He was being tortured by fleas and starved by the worms caused by the fleas. His people reached out to us for help and he was at LTR a few hours later. Since he was living outside in Lake County, we feared heartworm. He was dying when we got him. His bloodwork was scary but luckily it was just severe anemia. Once we got the flea damage, itchiness and worms under control, he improved quickly. His hair is growing back, he’s gaining weight and he’s loving being loved again.

Marley needs to sleep with his humans; he loves car rides and he’s definitely a lap dog. We’re still rebuilding this little survivor but in the meantime, he’s ready for his very own home. Once he’s strong enough, we can neuter him and clean his teeth.

Proper nutrition and oodles of love are working wonders for this wonderful little dog. We’re so lucky to be the once who get to help him.
