Marlin

Marlin is a distinguished senior gentleman who is seeking a special kind of home where he can continue to blossom at his own pace. He spent his early years as a breeder and is understandably nervous, preferring to be observed rather than touched. He is not leash trained and may never be, so a securely, fully fenced yard is a must for his safety and comfort. Marlin thrives in a quiet environment and would benefit greatly from the companionship of another small, friendly, and confident dog who can help show him the ropes.

He has made wonderful progress with his foster, now confidently walking outside and not running when approached. While he doesn't have an aggressive bone in his body, he's not the dog for snuggles or long park strolls. The true reward with Marlin is witnessing his journey as he slowly comes out of his shell and discovers the joys of a loving home. Patience and understanding are key to helping him become the happiest dog he can be.
