Name: Marnon
Age: 6-1/2-years
Weight: 14-pounds
Gender: Male
Breed: Chihuahua mix
Marnon is the i-Heart pet of the week at your Rancho Coastal Humane Society. He’s a 6-1/2-year-old, 14-pound, male, Chihuahua mix.
Marnon was relinquished to a shelter in Riverside County because his owners could not provide shelter for him and their three other dogs. They were tied up in the back yard. He was transferred through FOCAS – Friends of County Animal Shelters.
He likes to sit on laps. If it’s okay, he will lick your face. He will probably do best in an adult-only home.
The $100 adoption fee for Marnon includes medical exam, neuter, up to date vaccinations, and registered microchip.
