More About Marco-hasn't paid

Come meet Marco and some of his friends Saturday 8/11 at the Chandler Petsmart, 101/Chandler Blvd, from 11-3

Are you looking for a great companion dog who you can take to work with you? One who gets along with everyone? One who has never met a stranger? One who LIKES going to the vet? Then meet Marco everyone!! --one of the nicest boys we've had in foster. He is a TANK at 22lbs--big and stocky, but just a big love bug. He is SO easygoing, gets along with absolutely everyone--dogs, cats, kids--and is a perfect houseguest in his foster home. At about 5-7 yrs old, he's way past the puppy stage, but has lots of years left.

The one thing Marco DOESN'T like is to be left alone. He must have human, canine, or feline companions. Because of this he is being housed at "Happy Tails Pet Resort" where he greets everyone who walks in the door, runs around the shop, and takes afternoon siestas in the office. He has no idea he's being "boarded", he thinks he works there.

Marco does have dry eye. His schirmer test showed he was left-5 and right-9. He is SO good about getting his drops, doesn't wiggle one bit. He has lost most of his vision--he does not see that well, but gets around perfectly fine.

Marco was turned into the county shelter as a stray--nothing is known about his history, but it is very obvious he was at one time someone's beloved pet, someone took very good care of him-he is very used to getting his drops, is housebroken, and came to us already neutered.

We searched high and low for his owners, but were unable to locate them. Now Marco is looking for his new forever home.

His adoption fee is $175. He is current on vaccinations, microchipped, licensed in Maricopa county, heartworm/tick fever negative (and started on preventative), and will go home with a bottle of his eye drops and ointment.

Please email if you would like to add this perfectly mannered big boy to your home.

Marco-hasn't paid is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered.
