Big fan of: Sniffing everything in the world while on a walk—he is a Beagle, after all—and affection from his people. Generally extremely mellow and low-key, Marley is also very into learning new things in exchange for new treats.
Not a fan of: The highly active lifestyle. Marley needs daily walks to stay happy—and he definitely looks forward to them—but later, this lazybones wants to chill out and catch up on Dancing with the Stars or The Office with you, then head to bed.
Special features: Besides his amazing big, brown Beagle eyes (irresistible!), Marley offers you the trusty companionship of a younger Beagle and the level head and gentleness that only being middle-aged can bring. He also sometimes snores gently while awake. Though Beagles are known for being very vocal, at the Adoption Center Marley has howled only a few times. He’s generally quite a quiet, distinguished fellow.
Other reasons he’s special: Marley is hypothyroid and as such needs medication for life. He needs adopters who are comfortable with giving him that little bit of extra care.
Dream home: Patient and loving adopters who are ready to slowly build their relationship with Marley—we suspect that Marley, never one to jump into anything headlong, needs a little time to develop a loving bond with people.
