About dogs named Marco

The following are 12 profiles of dogs named Marco from our database of 46 dogs with the name Marco.

• “Always wants to play, never can get out all his energy. Such a good boy. Silly.“

  — Samantha O.

• “I was born under a connex in northern Iraq where my owner saved me and my littermates from drowning during a sudden rainstorm. Paws of War helped me come home with my soldier, but I had to spend 3 months moving between kennels and quarantine facilities when I should have been socialized as an impressionable puppy. Now, everything feels scary and overwhelming. I use my voice to tell people I am uncomfortable and need space, but I am very, very big and loud so my voice sounds scarier than I intend. My humans are working with a vet to find the right mix of supplements and medicine to help me relax, and I have a trainer helping us work together as a team in stressful situations. I am no longer afraid of squirrels, falling acorns or leaves rustling in the trees, but I am afraid of other dogs and almost all people. I’ve never met livestock, but I will probably bark at them, too. Thankfully, my humans bring lots of yummy treats to distract me!“

  — Katie F.

• “I am a sweet boy and love meeting people but I am not sure about other dogs. I love running and exploring new places.“

  — Deleted P.

• “I’m a big goofy golden Pyrenees. I’m great with other dogs but only when mom isn’t around. Otherwise I’m on duty!“

  — Lisa M.

• “Marco is a rescue from London, adopted in May 2024, has high energy, loves to run and play. Well-mannered, about 80% of the time. Socialized well, but he is still learning boundaries and how to say hello to smaller pups.“

  — Justin R.

• “I am a houndie. I like to run for 2 minutes, then sleep for 10 hours. I am pretty large and like to shameless sniff you.“

  — Chris J.

• “Very sweet boy, but can be a bit reactive in some situations(we're slowly working on it)“

  — Erin R.

• “Hi, I’m Marco. I am very handsome (especially in a bandana, just saying). I am brave, but also sensitive. I take my job of loving my humans very seriously. I monitor the house. I supervise snacks. I protect the family from suspicious delivery people. I enjoy warm beds, timely meals, and being told I’m a good boy (which I am). If I look dramatic sometimes, it’s because I feel things deeply. It’s called emotional intelligence.“

  — Priyanka S.

• “Marco will be two at the end of March. He is a big boy. Unfortunately I live in an apartment. He needs a place to safely run around.“

  — Rose N.

• “Marco is a very smart, sweet boy but he's a bit of a sour patch kid...sour on the outside but sweet on the inside. Once he's comfortable with you he is the biggest baby and best cuddler.“

  — Amanda H.

• “Marco’s a big sweetie we rescued almost 2 years ago! Loves people but is dog reactive. Obsessed with his squeaky toys.“

  — Katie S.

• “A certified grumpy old man with a heart of gold, I take the role of watching after my people and doing morning and evening perimeter checks very seriously. If there's a mole out in the field I'm gonna find it! My favorite things are food and the afternoon sun on my face.“

  — Morgan H.
