Marvin

ABOUT THIS ANIMAL:
Hi, I’m Marvin! When I spot my people, I wiggle my whole body and tail until they say hello! I love lounging in a baby pool, chewing toys while getting belly rubs, and curling up on my human’s head while we relax on the couch. I’m a sweet and affectionate boy who thrives in a quiet, stable home without lots of visitors or fast movements. Kids scare me, so an adult-only home is best. I’m loyal and love snuggling, and I walk beautifully leaning against your legs.

I’m so excited to meet my potential new family! To make sure we have the best first impression, I’d feel most comfortable meeting new people with one of my friends(a FOHA staff or volunteer) by my side. The best way to set up a successful meet-and-greet is by submitting an application first. Thanks for considering me!

I’m also eligible for FOHA’s Foster Forward Program, which helps long-stay animals like me experience home life and increases my chances of adoption.

HOW AM I WITH DOGS:
I’ve met other dogs and done well in the past. If you have a dog at home, my friends at FOHA can schedule a dog introduction to see if we’re a good match!

HOW AM I WITH CATS:
No cats.

HOW AM I WITH KIDS:
No kids — children’s fast movements frighten me.

MY TRAINING JOURNEY:
Not specified.

This dog is part of FOHA’s Diamond Dog Program, which means they receive extra training support and guidance to help them succeed in a home. To learn more about the Diamond Dog Program, click here and scroll down!

MY HOUSEBREAKING AND/OR CRATING:

THINGS I LIKE:
Quiet environments, belly rubs, lounging in pools or blankets, walks, sunbathing, playing with calm dogs.

Strangers (I take a long time to warm up), eye contact or being approached quickly, lots of visitors or home activity, playing with big balls (I get overexcited).
