Long Beach Local News has teamed up with @lbanimal Long Beach Local News has teamed up with @lbanimalcare to help some animals find their ‘fur ever’ homes!

Marble (#A650883) is a 3 year old beautiful brindle sweetheart of a gal. Sadly she was surrendered by her family because they said they were moving and for some reason (beyond our comprehension) they felt she couldn't go with them. She was understandably very scared at first, but thanks to our tremendous volunteers she's come out of her shell and is a loving, playful, happy girl. We're not sure exactly of her breed make-up - a touch of german shepherd, a dash of beagle, a spritz of lab...? She loves to go for walks and her nose leads the way! She often has zoomies during playtime in the shelter yards and loves to be pet. 

The shelter is over capacity and is a very stressful place. She's struggling a bit with the chaos. We would love to find this girl a home as soon as possible, so please help network her. For more information, reach out to me or self-schedule an appointment to visit Marble at http://LBACS.as.me . You're also welcome to stop by during the new open walk-in hours every Wednesday through Sunday from 11-3:00.

If you can help foster, adopt or rescue, please email animalrescue@longbeach.gov or petfoster@longbeach.gov
