My name is
Marla!

Location: Sioux Falls, SD

My name is Marla! She came from the reservation as a stray but we have quickly learned that a loving home is just what she needs, she is the biggest sweetheart. She just wants someone to love and pet on her. Marla was quite timid on the first day but opened up shortly after with the help of the house dog Sage. She loves to play and wrestle with Sage and is quite curious about the house cats. So far, she gets along with them fine. Once their back is turned to her, she likes to try to sneak up on them to check them out.

Marla would do best at a house with a fenced in yard—she does not like to do her business while on a leash and will hold it for days before she goes.

Marla is quite the chewer and destroys even the toughest of toys…to pieces! She loves playing tug of war with resident dog Sage.

Marla would thrive in an environment with a trained house dog to show her the ropes and keep her company. She is very submissive and has gotten along with all dogs she has recently met. I fear if she were the only dog, some anxiety could develop.

She seems like she would be a good cuddler however due to her past, I don’t think she knows what cuddling is! The first time she was placed on the couch, she curled up right next to us but she doesn’t stay on the furniture for very long as she acts like she isn’t supposed to be up there!

The best way to show interest in an animal is to submit an adoption application by visiting our website (www.rescuenetworkmn.org).

Adoption fee includes spay/neuter, all age-appropriate vaccinations (distemper, rabies, and bordetella), heartworm and flea/tick preventatives, heartworm test (dogs), FIV/FeLV test (cats), dewormed, and microchip implant (including registration).

Rescue Network is strictly foster based which means all adoptable animals are in a home and there cannot be a meet until an application is submitted and approved. We have no way of knowing the breeds in the animals. All breeds listed are best guess.
