Each week, the Independent highlights an animal available for adoption at Baypath Humane Society in Hopkinton. This week’s adoptable animal is 1-year-old Marley.

Here is Baypath’s description of Marley:

“Calling all hound lovers! Meet your future best friend: Marley!

“At almost 2 years old and weighing in at around 90 pounds, Marley is a big-hearted boy. He’s a loyal companion seeking a family that is young and active, just like him!

“Marley is a big, goofy, playful pup at heart. He’s smart and ready for adventures with a family that can continue his training. Marley adores all people, and loves to receive pets and attention. He is a tall boy who loves to jump up and give people hugs — he is still learning that not everyone wants a hug from such a big boy!

“Marley enjoys playing and zooming around with toys. He always has a blast on his walks in the woods, and he is working on leash skills. He is a very strong boy! His nose is always at work, especially when there’s a tasty treat involved. Marley would do best with a fenced-in yard where he can continue to work on his leash manners. He is hoping for a home with teenagers or older individuals who can appreciate his enthusiastic self.”
