Notes from Legacy Humane Society

Meet Marley – Your Future Best Friend!

Say hello to Marley, a 7-year-old German Shepherd/Rottweiler mix with the looks of a showstopper and the heart of a teddy bear. Weighing in at 78 pounds of love and loyalty, Marley is a handsome boy with striking markings, soft fur, and a gentle soul.

Despite a rough patch — he was surrendered to the shelter when his previous family could no longer care for him — Marley has kept his sweet spirit and is ready to find his forever home. Marley recently had a DNA test! Here are his results: 26% Border Collie, 22% Australian Cattle Dog, 22% Rottweiler, 18% GSD. The remaining 12% is a mix of various breeds.

Why Marley is the Total Package:

Dog-friendly and playful — loves a good game of tag!

Carries his stuffed toys around like prized possessions

Crate and house trained

Rides like a champ in the car

Walks beautifully on a leash

Friendly, easygoing, and adores people

Neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative & UTD on vaccinations

Marley is an inside-only dog who wants nothing more than to be part of the family. Whether you're heading out for an adventure or settling in for a Netflix binge, Marley will be by your side — loyal, loving, and always up for whatever you are.

✨ Are you ready to meet the best friend you didn’t know you were missing?
