Marshmallow's Story

- SUPER into treats and will perk up and wag her tail when she sees them <br/><br/>- Loves going on walks and does best with a harness <br/><br/>- Prefers to explore and do her own thing here in the shelter, but will likely open up more once she's in a home environment and has had time to decompress <br/><br/>- May take some time to warm up to new dogs and may prefer some dogs over others; would be most comfortable with a slow introduction to new dogs (dog intro required) <br/><br/>- Looking for a teens-and-up home right now <br/><br/>The ARL's shelter software requires that we choose a primary breed for our dogs. Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable, so for most dogs we are only guessing at primary breed. We get to know each dog as an individual and do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not breed label.<br/> Primary Color: Black Weight: 37lbs Age: 3yrs 0mths 1wks Animal has been Spayed
