Marshmallow

Hello,

I’m really pained to make this post as a doggo is always a friend that I’ve wanted.

I adopted this beauty, Marshmallow. She is 1 and is extremely nice, playful and loves to cuddle.

Why am I looking to rehome her?

She needs an experienced dog owner. She doesn’t bark, or destroy things but she requires someone with more experience and time to actually invest in her. I struggle with her attachment issues and some commands. She is good on walks with redirection if needed. She’s needs yard space and a loving family.

She’s really playful and will need a family who can help her burn her energy, I cannot. When I adopted her, she was brought in as under weight, extremely clean and is up to date on her vaccines. I am willing to provide her paper work and give the food that I have as well as her leash and collar.

She is spayed so no need to worry there.

She really is a great girl but….. after I got to know her a bit more, my lifestyle will NOT work. I would not recommend a home with children yet as she doesn’t know NOT to bite when she wants to play. She doesn’t jump or anything even when I hold my the food up etc.

She is chipped so if there is a way to transfer that I’m more than willing to work it out. I really just want what’s best for her and surrendering her back to the shelter is almost guaranteed euthanasia….

I hope I am able to find the right fit for her ❤
