Marilyn 2‘s Story

❤️Marilyn is Available❤️

Please READ the bio and adoption requirements first to make sure you are a perfect fit BEFORE APPLYING.

Hi there! My name is Marilyn, but my friends call me Lyn. I’m a 44-pound curly-coated Poodle mix with a no-shed coat and the cutest little stub tail that matches my foster sister’s. I’ll be turning two this November, and I’m ready to celebrate with a forever family of my own.

My foster parents call me aggressively cuddly—I can’t get enough snuggles! I’m silly, affectionate, and love making people laugh with my clumsy zoomies. I enjoy walks, playing with neighborhood dogs, and protecting my home from very important threats (like the Daffy Duck scarecrow in the yard). I get along great with cats and love romping with my small foster sister. I can get a little mouthy when I’m excited, but it’s just my puppy energy coming out—I never mean any harm.

An ideal day for me? It starts with morning cuddles, followed by a long walk and breakfast. Then I’ll play with toys or hang out with my foster sister before curling up in my crate for a nap. I get another walk in the afternoon and one or two more in the evening, depending on the weather and what’s for dinner! I sleep well in my crate at night, but I’m always happy to join you on the couch—or in bed—if invited.

I’m still learning a few things, like how to stay calm when squirrels cross my path or how to keep four paws on the ground when I’m excited to greet someone. Loud noises like the vacuum still make me a little nervous, but storms, music, and TV don’t bother me at all. When I’m really excited, I might jump or use my mouth a bit to play—but with gentle guidance, I’m learning better manners every day. Sometimes I even pee a little when I’m overly excited, but I’m already growing out of it with time and routine. And yes... I do gulp water like a champ and leave little puddles behind—what can I say, I like to stay hydrated and helpful!

With love, consistency, and a bit of patience, I’m becoming the best version of myself. If you're looking for a sweet, cuddly, and slightly goofy girl who’ll shower you with love and keep you laughing, I might just be the perfect match.
