Marvin

My story

Meet Marvin! He will greet you like you are already his best friend, and his friendly nature and stunning eyes will win you over in no time. If you are looking for a house-trained dog who enjoys games of fetch, neighborhood walks, and cuddling on the couch, then Marv just might be the one for you! Marvin's favorite things: - Sniffing for treats in blankets, snuffle mats, grass, cardboard boxes, etc.- Marv loves to use his nose and eat treats! - Playing fetch with his favorite ball - Cuddling - De-squeaking squeaky toys Cues Marv has been learning and practicing: - Sit - Wait - Touch - Recall - Let's Go Marvin is a big boy, and he tends to jump when he's excited, so he would do best in a home without small children. He has been working VERY hard though on learning to contain his excitement and making good progress! Marvin is uncomfortable around most dogs, so he is looking for an adopter who can manage his environment and continue his training to help him in stressful situations. He has been able to make a dog friend, but needs someone to still help advocate for him and his boundaries if he makes any more dog friends in the future. How am I doing in foster? "Marvin is a great companion. He makes me smile and laugh every day with his goofy antics and adorable expressions. He is a super cuddlebug, and it is so comforting having him curled up next to me while I watch tv and sleep at night. He loves fetch, and he will happily chase a ball for 20 minutes, then be ready for a rest. He is smart and very enthusiastic about food, so positive reinforcement training with him is a lot of fun! He has not had accidents and has not been destructive when left home alone. He enjoys sniffy walks in the neighborhood, we just have to be careful about when we walk since he can get nervous if other dogs are too close. He is also happy to skip the walks and instead play fetch in the fenced yard. With a very slow introduction, he has become friends with the neighbor dog, and they like to play in the yard!" - Marvin's foster mom My adoption comes with some extra benefits at the time of adoption! Marvin is an all-star dog, and his adoption appointment includes a discussion with the training team, as well as a few enrichment goodies to help get you both off to a good start.
