My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

How this pet arrived:
This pet was brought in by their previous owner.

Why this pet is the one for you:
Meet Marshy, a shy but sweet dog looking for a loving and patient new home! Marshy can be bashful around new faces and places, and will need an adopter who can help him build confidence at his own pace. Found as a stray, Marshy struggled with leash walking and fear, but he has made great progress with the help of his trainers. He enjoys playing with other dogs and is highly food motivated, making training sessions fun and rewarding. Marshy also loves puzzle toys and snuggling up with his humans once he feels comfortable. Marshy's ideal home will have another dog-social dog to help him feel secure and a calm, structured environment. He will benefit from an adopter who can go at his pace and has experience with fearful dogs. While he's still learning to navigate new spaces, Marshy is making great strides and will thrive with continued positive reinforcement training. He would do best in a home where any children are able to understand his body language and give him space when necessary. If you're ready to help Marshy shine, he will reward you with loving, playful companionship! Come speak to an adoption counselor to learn more today.
