Name: Marilyn
	Marilyn is a beautiful 3 year old primarily Chow Chow mix who first came to the Humane Society of Memphis and Shelby County in April 2008 when a citizen found her floating in the river. She was in bad shape with gashes on her back leg. But once she recovered with some fluids and stitches, it wasn’t long before she found a good home. But then in February of this year, her owner had to go to an assisted living facility and give up his beloved Marilyn. She can be very playful, picking up toys in the play yard and running out her “crazies” with them and making everyone laugh, but she is very calm once she can get out a few short bursts of energy. She enjoys people and attention, but can be wary of new people, as Chows typically are. Chows are very smart, independent, aloof pets who adore one master and are very loyal. They reward their master’s kindness with their protective spirit and watchful manners. She will do best with adopters experienced in Chow behavior.
