Looks & charm:
Marley is a striking, medium-sized boy with short, dense fur and a unique black-and-white pattern that gives him his āpanda maskā. His body is strong and balanced, and his little natural bobtail wags with quiet happiness whenever someone pays him attention. Behind those soulful eyes lies a gentle, intelligent dog who longs to belong.
Character:
Marley is affectionate, calm and people-oriented. He adores kind human contact and enjoys being close, but heās never pushy ā just softly present, hoping to be included. Like many shepherd-type dogs, heās intelligent and sensitive, tuned in to the emotions around him. He gets along well with other dogs and would fit perfectly into a calm, friendly household where patience and love are part of everyday life.
Ideal home:
Marley would thrive with adopters who value gentle souls ā people who want a loyal companion, not a demanding one. Heād love daily walks, quiet moments nearby, and a sense of belonging at last.
A secure, ādog proofā garden with a good fence and gate would be wonderful for him ā a place where he can safely explore, sniff around and relax at his own pace. Itās not just about space, but about giving him the freedom and confidence heās been missing for so long.
What Marley truly needs is warmth, trust and time to blossom. Once he feels safe and loved, he will reward his family with the quiet loyalty only a rescued dog can give.
⨠Marley is a special boy ā intelligent, loyal and tender-hearted. His little tail may be short, but his capacity for love is endless.

A home check (sometimes even online) is mandatory before any adoption.
We do not place dogs with people who do not genuinely love dogs ā there are too many lives depending on us, and we cannot be too careful!
To adopt one of our dogs, you must have your own garden and no children under the age of 10.
We do not provide working dogs, service dogs, or assistance dogs ā no matter how noble or well-intentioned the purpose may be.
If you adopt MARLEY, he will live with you as a beloved family pet, cared for and cherished as he truly deserves.
You also agree to keep in touch with us so that we can assist you with any questions or challenges that might arise.
We prefer to communicate by phone or WhatsApp, as we both work during the day and have limited access to emails.
Itās also much easier ā we can exchange all the necessary information at once.
If you wish, we can arrange a video call so you can see MARLEY live before meeting him in person.
We are a 100% genuine and transparent rescue, fully dedicated to saving lives.
We are actively involved in spaying and neutering stray dogs and finding them loving homes.
We reserve the right to request a different adoption fee or donation for our shelter dogs, depending on individual circumstances.
In most cases, our costs are not fully covered.
We stay in touch with all our adopters ā more than 500 families so far ā and can provide excellent references upon request.
Please note: we receive many meaningless messages and calls.
We kindly ask ā no time wasters, please!
Thank you so much for your understanding and compassion.
Warm regards,
Adrian & Maria
