Marlow

A Little Bit About Marlow

Marlow is a big, beautiful Maremma looking for a special home where he can take his time, build confidence and show off the lovely personality underneath his cautious exterior. Ideally, Marlow’s new family will have previous experience with Maremmas or similar livestock guardian breeds and understand that these independent, sensitive dogs often need patience and plenty of time to settle in.

He is currently quite fearful and unsure around other dogs, so he will need plenty of time and patience to build his confidence. With the right introduction and ongoing support, he may eventually be able to share his home with a suitable canine companion.

Marlow can meet pet-savvy teenagers aged 16+ who understand the importance of respecting his boundaries.

He isn't a fan of lots of physical handling, but once he feels comfortable, his confidence really starts to shine, and he can become quite jumpy and boisterous! At his size, he is definitely a big boy with a big presence.

He has shown discomfort around men, so his new family will need to give him time to build trust and allow him to approach new people at his own pace.

Marlow would suit a full-time working household and is looking for people who are happy to give him his own space while he settles.

Marlow may take a little time to find his feet, but for someone who understands his breed and is willing to let him go at his own pace, he has the potential to become a wonderful member of the family. His foster-to-adopt arrangement will give everyone the opportunity to take that journey together, at Marlow’s pace, and see him flourish in the right environment.
