Marshmallow

My story

Introducing: Marshmallow — because “Sweet N’ Silly Snugglebug” was too long for a name tag. She’s that perfect mix of cuddle bug and goofball: one moment she’s melting into your lap like, well, a marshmallow… and the next she’s bouncing around the room like she’s auditioning for the role of “Happiness in Dog Form.” She’s playful in the best way—goofy, gentle, and always up for a good time, especially if it ends with belly rubs and a nap in your lap. Basically, she’s a walking serotonin boost with a wagging tail. At just 12 weeks old, this Great Pyrenees mix already lives up to her name: soft, sweet, and just the right amount of squish. Marshmallow came to us, along with her brother Goose, after her owner could no longer care for them and planned to surrender them to a shelter. Thankfully, the shelter reached out first, and we were able to scoop them up into our fluffy butt program before they ever stepped paw into the system. She’s all things puppy—playful, curious, occasionally clumsy, and always charming. Whether she’s bouncing after a toy, waddling into your lap, or trying to carry a stick twice her size with the confidence of a full-grown moose, Marshmallow is guaranteed to make you smile. Marshmallow considers other dogs her personal fan club—whether they signed up for it or not. She’s that overly enthusiastic new kid at recess who immediately picks a best friend and then proceeds to follow them everywhere, tail wagging like it’s her full-time job. Subtle? No. Adorable? Absolutely. As for tiny humans—Marshmallow is a tiny human. At just 12 weeks and 12lbs, she fits perfectly in laps, arms, and the hearts of anyone under four feet tall. She loves being cuddled, carried, and fawned over like the fluffy baby princess she clearly believes she is. And people? Oh, she’s a fan. Big fan. Huge. She greets everyone like they’re her long-lost soulmate who brought treats and belly rubs. Honestly, she’s so charming we’re not sure how she hasn’t already talked someone into adopting her and giving her a puppy-sized castle. Cats? TBD. We haven’t introduced her to any, but considering her current philosophy on life is “everything is a friend", your cats will either decide she’s their new emotional support peasant… or start plotting your untimely demise for daring to bring home such a joyful, nap-interrupting puffball. If Marshmallow were an animal hybrid based on energy level, she’d be a baby goat crossed with a cotton ball—bouncy, unpredictable, and somehow both graceful and a total klutz. She clocks in around a 7 out of 10 on the energy scale. As a road trip buddy, she’s mostly chill—lounging in her little dog car seat like she’s auditioning for a luxury car commercial. That is, until she remembers the front seat exists, at which point she attempts a casual takeover. It’s not quite a mutiny, but you might want to keep the seatbelt buckled. She handles the ride like a pro though, no barf bags needed. Leash walking? She’s in the “it’s a work in progress” stage—meaning she may occasionally forget what direction you were headed and instead follow a leaf with the enthusiasm of a bloodhound on a mission. Coordination and grace are not currently in her résumé, but she’s working on it. Marshmallow is both the adventure sidekick and the designated napper. She’s thrilled to go for a pup cup run, but she’s just as happy flopped dramatically on the nearest cold tile like she’s rehearsing for her debut as “melting cloud, scene two.” Her overall vibe? Sweet, gentle, and just the right amount of playful. She likes to be near you—sometimes sprawled out like a furry speed bump on the floor, sometimes with a toy half-heartedly in her mouth like she might be interested in playing, if you insist. Favorite activities include running zoomies like she’s reenacting a nature documentary, collecting toys (sometimes hers, sometimes yours), and perfecting her “tragically wilted houseplant” pose on any cool surface. She's part socialite, part nap enthusiast, and 100% delightful. Now, let’s talk fine print. If you’re interested in bringing home this fluffy little daydream, just know she comes with some assembly required. If you're thinking she comes pre-programmed with bathroom manners, perfect leash etiquette, and the social grace of a seasoned therapy dog... bless your heart. She does not. Potty training? A work in progress. She’s still figuring out the difference between your living room rug and the great outdoors. Leash training? Let’s just say she thinks leashes are part fashion statement, part chew toy, and fully unnecessary. Socialization? That’s ongoing too. She’s met some dogs and loved them, but the world is big, weird, and full of stuff she hasn’t seen yet—so you'll need to help her realize that mail trucks, ceiling fans, and people in hats are not out to get her. So if you’re expecting a fully trained, turn-key, Instagram-ready dog… you might want to lower your expectations and raise your tolerance for puppy antics. But if you’re up for the ride, Marshmallow’s got fluff, heart, and enough puppy charm to make the chaos worth every second. If you’ve made it this far and are still thinking, “Yep, I want that sugar-coated toddler in a fur coat”—congrats, your judgment is questionable in the best possible way. To make Marshmallow yours, all you have to do is fill out an adoption application at https://www.pyrpawsandfluffytailsrescue.com/adoption-app (yes, paperwork—because apparently just shouting “I WANT HER” into the void doesn’t count), and be ready to pick her up in Claremore, OK. No, we will not ship her via Amazon Prime. She’s fluffy, not deliverable.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Marshmallow, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
