13172929 Marley was born October 2007 and his picture does not do him justice. He is a giant of a fellow. He weighs in around 100lbs and doesn't realize his own size. He is very friendly, out-going, and never meets a stranger . He has so much energy and gets so excited when people want to walk him, that if you are not prepared, he will accidently knock you over trying to love on you. He gets along with most dogs, as long as he gets to be the boss. His new home will require a fenced in backyard, because he prefers to spend most of his time outdoors. If you do not have a fenced in yard, then Marley is not an option for you. He doesn't care for cats.


It's raining cats, dogs, puppies and kittens!!!! PLEASE SPAY AND NEUTER YOUR PETS so folks in rescue and at the shelters have less animals to take care of. CONSIDER A RESCUE DOG INSTEAD OF BUYING FROM A BREEDER OR A PET STORE. THERE ARE SO MANY WONDERFUL ANIMALS AVAILABLE THROUGH RESCUE GROUPS.

Reduced Adoption Fees

Outreach Adoption Activities - PetSmart in Hickory

Who We Are

Friends for Animals - The Humane Society of Burke County (BCFFA) is dedicated to saving the lives of treatable and adoptable animals by providing care and housing; adoption services; humane education; and by promoting a community spay and neuter solution.

Adopting a Friend

All animals adopted from BCFFA have up-to-date, age-appropriate vaccinations including rabies, have been wormed, and have been spayed or neutered. Each adopted pet is given a bag of Hill's Science Diet food to take home with him/her.

Sponsor A Pet

If you cannot have an animal in your home but would like to help one, consider sponsoring. You can sponsor one of our lifetime sanctuary residents by by sending $25.00 a month to BCFFA in support of their care. To view our pets that need sponsoring, see our list of available pets.
