Marley is a big, handsome, fantastic dog. He came to the Humane Society after a motorist spotted him sitting in the Kewpee parking lot. At first they thought he was hurt but he was just trying to look sad so someone would throw me a hamburger (it didn’t work). If you’re looking for a big dog who’s friendly and loves to play, your search is over!
