Many Faces of MARCO

Dec 17, 2025 | Blog, Fundraiser HWAH

Join us in spreading “Howliday Cheer” as our series continues! Today we feature the “Many Faces of…HWAH Resident Marco!”

In 2018, Marco was at the Prince George’s County (Maryland) shelter when we were told that they were full and were going to start euthanizing dogs to make room for more. He was marked as a fear biter. He bit a couple people at the shelter, and other than horrid dental disease, was in good health. So we transported him to HWAH, gave him a dental and grooming, and kept him in a pen to evaluate his behavior.

Boy were they ever wrong! Marco is the sweetest, most loving dog! Even after losing an eye to glaucoma and all his teeth, he’s still silly, happy, and full of love. If someone is sitting down, you can guarantee that boy will be in their lap. He gets excited whenever he sees his favorite people!

We would greatly appreciate sponsorships of Marco to help cover his veterinary costs! He’s on heart and eye medications that total about $200/month. To sponsor this adorable HWAH resident, please visit: Sponsor Marvelous Marco
