Marla is a very sweet, gentle, friendly, patient dog. She loves attention, cuddles and belly rubs. Marla loves playing in a doggie pool and she likes to play with other dogs.

Marla has not shown any aggression with my other dogs or with her food bowl if I take it away. She is a quiet girl, not much barking from her.

She was found with a best buddy, who has since been adopted. She allowed him into her food and water bowl. I don't know how she would be with other dogs in regards to her food bowl. I don't know how she is with cats.

She needs a house with a fenced yard and needs to be an inside dog. Heat is hard on her for long periods. She is crate trained and housebroken.

It's hard to tell from the photo, but she has such a beautiful red brown coat. It shimmers in the light! Marla has a lot of love to give and would be a wonderful companion!

Puppies cannot be adopted outside of the Houston area until they are spay/neutered after they are 4 months old.

It is against the law in the State of Texas for a rescue not to be sterilized so we have to make sure it gets completed and that we have record of it.
