Notes from Labradors and Friends Dog Rescue Group

Foster or Forever Home Wanted: Meet Marilynn!

Marilynn came into our rescue incredibly pregnant after finding herself at risk for a spay-abort at the Long Beach shelter.

Just 34 hours after arriving, she welcomed nine beautiful babies into the world. She was an amazing mama, raising every one of them with love and care. Now all of her babies have found their forever homes, and it’s finally Marilynn’s turn.

Marilynn is a petite, athletic girl with a huge heart and an even bigger love for her people. She is sweet, affectionate, and happiest when she’s by your side. She forms deep bonds with her humans, thrives on attention and praise, takes verbal correction well, and is eager to learn. She also appears to be potty trained.

She’s also dog friendly and enjoys playing with other dogs, but she prefers a rough-and-tumble play style full of wrestling and chasing. Any future canine sibling should enjoy a similar play style and be able to match her energy.

Marilynn will do best in a home that can provide consistency, structure, and companionship, as she prefers to be close to her family and can struggle when left alone for long periods. Despite her smaller size, she’s surprisingly athletic and has a talent for finding escape routes, so she’ll need a secure yard and a family committed to keeping her safe.

After spending so much of her life taking care of everyone else, Marilynn is ready for a home where she gets to be the one who’s spoiled, cherished, and loved. If you’re ready to give Marilynn the happily-ever-after she deserves, fill out an application at https://www.labradorsandfriends.org .

Marilynn is located in Southern California.
