ABOUT THIS ANIMAL: Meet Marshall – A Sweet Senior Still Waiting for His Second Chance 🤎
Marshall—lovingly known by his friends as “Marshy” or “Marshmallow”—has been waiting longer than most, and it’s hard not to feel just how deeply he deserves a forever home.
After spending eight years in a loving home, Marshall found himself back in the shelter system, where he simply doesn’t thrive. Thankfully, he has spent the last few months in a foster home. He is happy, relaxed, and so ready to find and fall in love with his family.
At his core, Marshall is a sweet, affectionate boy who just wants to be near his humans. Once he feels safe, his goofy and expressive personality shines. He loves attention, naps, toys, walks, car rides, and, of course, food. He’ll happily roll over for a belly rub, lean in for scratches, and even has a funny habit of “talking” to his people when he’s happy or engaged.
Marshall loves car rides, curling up in the back seat before eventually popping his head up to feel the wind on his face. He enjoys rolling around with his toys and will entertain himself by rolling them down little hills just so he can chase them again. He also loves a good game of fetch—especially with his favorite spiky ball.
There’s a playful, silly side to Marshall that comes out when he feels comfortable, and it’s one of the most endearing things about him. He warms up quickly to new people and is a quiet, easy guest. While other dogs can make him nervous, he is easy to guide past them on walks. If a dog barks at him, he might bark back, but he’s happy to keep moving.
Marshall would do best as the only dog in the home. He is not a fan of cats and would prefer a home without them. Kids can make him nervous, so he would love a quiet, adult-only home where he can feel secure and be the center of attention.
Marshall is housebroken, does well when left alone, and knows several cues, including Sit, Down, Wait, Come, Crawl, Touch, Spin, and Leave It.
Marshall is a senior, and no senior dog should have to spend his golden years in a shelter. To help him find the family he so deeply deserves, his adoption fee has been waived and he is part of our REWARDS program.
Marshall is ready for a calm, loving home where he can feel safe, be silly, get plenty of belly rubs, and finally know that he belongs.
He has already given so much of his heart in his lifetime. He’s just waiting for someone willing to give theirs back.
**Somewhere out there is a soft place for Marshall to land. We just need someone to see him.**

ADOPTION FEE: Adoption Fee: WAIVED! We thank DoodyCalls of Northern Virginia for their generous sponsorship of Marshall which means he is FREE! His adoption fee has been sponsored by DoodyCalls of Northern Virginia! You can learn more about them at https://www.doodycalls.com/northern-va/. I'M ALSO PART OF THE REWARDS PROGRAM. WE WILL ALSO PAY MY FOSTER OR ADOPTER $500.
HT has a number of dogs that need very special homes. These dogs have been failed by humans along the way, leaving them homeless and with issues from their treatment. We'll be honest. Some of them are real jerks. But not always. And not to everyone. Not everyone can be charming ALL the time, right? Others are just fearful and don't like other animals because they have had a bad interaction at some point. Some of them love other dogs but are just plain scared of everything. But all of them are good on the inside. And we believe that ALL of them deserve a chance at life and love. And we're looking to find the right human out there to make that happen. But competition is tough. And they're up against small, well-behaved doggies...so we are offering incentives for special humans willing to give these pooches a chance. WE WANT YOU!
***We are paying $500 to any approved foster or adopter of our REWARDS dogs.***
The human will also get ongoing training support, all supplies covered and a $25 Amazon gift card each month for 6 months. You will learn and grow. You will be doing a world of good for a dog who has really had it rough in life.
