**Marcus will be available for adoption at Rosedale Mills (Pennington, NJ) over the June 1-3 weekend.**

Marcus and his two sisters came very close to having a very short life. At approx 1 month of age, this trio of pups had been abandoned in a ditch at a man's house and he came very close to running over them with his lawn mower. If the man hadn't been very alert and seen some movement, Marcus and his sisters would have been shredded by the mower's blades. The man contacted SoCo and we gladly took the pups in. 

Marcus is the perfect "big brother" to his sisters. When they first arrived, he seemed more concerned with checking out the new surroundings to make sure all was safe rather than instantly accepting us as his sisters did. He's since become very affectionate and playful but still remains adventurous and inquisitive. 

While we're not positive, we think Marcus is a Shepherd mix and could grow to be approx 60 lbs. As of 5/14, he's received 2/3 of  his first year puppy vaccinations, wormings and other such care to ensure he'll grow to be very healthy. If adopted prior to turning 6 months of age, his adopter must agree to having him neutered at 6 mos and proving proof of such to our rescue. 

Applications for the adoption of Marcus should be submitted at socorescue.com
