My story

Welcome to HSWC 🐟Marlin Open🐠Hosting this sporting event this year is Marlin himself. We are thrilled to introduce this handsome fella. 🔦Spotlight on his skills:Marlin is young and energetic. He seems to have had ruff adventures already in his young life. We want him to have a life of luxury so maybe no other fish swimming in his ocean right now. 🎣He is trying to catch himself an active family that will help him develop into a well conditioned athlete. 🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟Sweet, happy, loving personality. Will greet you enthusiastically. Can calm down out of happy zoomie mode into regular Marlin mode pretty quickly. 🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟Superstar.Supersmart.Knows "sit."Working on "watch me."Volunteers helping him learn "gentle" and "easy".Master of the zoom zoom. 🎏Good leash walking skills for his age. ❤️This is the guy that will hop in your lap, lick your face and try to give you a back massage. All on the first date. He's the one that will pour his soul out to your. Open up. He's there. Now don't get me wrong- He doesn't really charge at life. He's cautious and when placed in his own zone he calmly watches the boats go by, waiting for his his chance to hop on the love boat with his furever family. 🐟He's a volunteer favorite. 🐠He's sweet and fun all rolled into one seaweed wrap. 🐡He will need training to develop his puppy manners.🐡He will need walks and play time for exercise and potty training. A focused 20 min walk 2-3 times a day. Play Outings throughout the day and potty breaks every 4 hours should give him all he needs. 🎏33 pounds. ⚠️🟡Marlin can be nervous around other dogs. Previously jumped on. Might do best as the only dog or with calm dogs that leave him alone. 🟢🟡Will leave cats alone. Scared of their angry ways. Seems to be Uncharted waters for him.🟢🟡Loves people. Go slow with new introductions. He can be shy, cautious and unsure in new situations.He's the dog for all occasions. Well rounded, sweet and loving.Let's be reel- he's a great catch!!Come and tuna him into your life. Quite the prize this Marlin will be to the lucky family that can lure him into their hearts and boat! Primary Color: Black Weight: 34 Age: 0yrs 6mths 0wks

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