Marlee~Bio Updated! Jack Russell Terrier & Rat Terrier Mix Woodbury, CT

Meet Marlee~

Picked up as a stray from the streets of Texas, Marlee is in CT and ready to be adopted!
Hi, my name is Marlee. I'm an adorable and very sweet rat terrier jack russell (we think) mix. I'm a bit shy getting to know you, but I promise after a few minutes I will be your bestest friend. I bond very closely with those who make me feel safe and I love to stay right at their side. I am a 10/10 snuggler and love to smush my face into your neck for a nap, I love to have safe arms wrapped around me too. I get along with both dogs and cats, but my people are my favorite. Certain dogs can make me feel a little intimidated, especially when they get in my space, but I will let you know if I'm uncomfortable. I'm not aggressive in any way, just scared of those bigger than me sometimes. I just need a little reassurance from those i trust. I'm excellent in the car and want to go on all the adventures with you. I would love a family of my own to love me and i promise I will give you all of my love right back. I may be a smaller dog, but my heart is so big.

*The adoption fee is $450.00 and includes spay/neuter, microchip, vaccinations, flea/tick and heartworm preventatives, leash and collar, ProHeart 12 (adults), and the mandatory CT HB 5368 exam.

BREED IDENTIFICATION:
Please understand that many rescue dogs are mixes of multiple breeds. Petfinder allows us to choose up to two breeds per dog. While the shelters and our rescue do our best in accurately identifying breeds, breed identification is not guaranteed. If there is a certain breed that you do not want, it is very important that you share this with our rescue when applying. When adopting a puppy, breed uncertainty plays a big part in the size/look of the dog as an adult. Please know that any puppy can be a wonderful dog, regardless of preconceived notions of certain breeds, but it is very important that the adopter has the dedication and patience to raise the puppy with boundaries, consistency, structure, & love. The more effort you give towards training & time you allow for exercise, your puppy will grow to be a HUGE source of UNCONDITIONAL LOVE, TOTAL LOYALTY, HAPPINESS, COMFORT & COMPANIONSHIP!

ABOUT OUR RESCUE:
We are a small rescue run by volunteers & focused on finding the right match for both our dogs & for you. If you are interested in adopting through our rescue, you first will need to complete an adoption application & be approved as a potential adopter before meeting any of our pups. No need to be intimidated by our application as it allows us to get to know you & your lifestyle. Of course, the more you can share the better! Please also note, while a fenced yard is fantastic, it is not required by our rescue, however, it may be required for a certain dog occasionally. Once adoption applicants are approved to become potential adopters, we offer private appointments where you can meet one or several dogs at the discretion of the rescue. We offer a unique & pleasant experience focused on finding the perfect match. It is extremely important to us that everyone is treated with respect & that NO ONE IS LEFT HANGING. WE WILL GET BACK TO YOU WITHIN 2 TO 3 DAYS of application submission. If there is a dog you are eager to meet, please TEXT US DIRECTLY at 203-241-2351 so that we can check the status of your application and move it forward immediately. We look forward to hearing from you and helping you find your new best friend.
*All adult dogs can be cat tested by request.
