Meet Marvin, an affectionate hound mix waiting for his forever home! He will greet you like you are already his best friend, and his friendly nature and stunning eyes will win you over in no time. If you are looking for a house-trained dog who enjoys neighborhood walks, games of fetch, and cuddling on the couch, then Marv just might be the one for you!
Marvin's favorite things:
- Sniffing for treats in blankets, snuffle mats, grass, cardboard boxes, etc.- Marv loves to use his nose and eat treats!
- Brisk walks, with occasional stops to sniff and look around
- Cuddling
- Playing fetch and catch
- De-squeaking stuffed toys
Marvin is a big boy, and he tends to jump when he's excited, so he would do best in a home without small children.
How am I doing in foster?
"Marvin is a delightful dog and a great companion. He keeps me company while I work at home, and he's up for a walk or some time in the yard whenever I need a break. He is a super cuddlebug, and it is so comforting having him curled up right next to me while I watch tv and sleep at night. He is very enthusiastic about food, so positive reinforcement training with him is a lot of fun! He also loves puzzles, and it's fun to watch him rip open boxes to find toys or treats. When we are out on walks, people often comment on how handsome he is! He gets uncomfortable if we are close to other dogs on walks, but with some distance and treats for reassurance, he does just fine. He gets jumpy when he's excited, so we are working on activities to help him with impulse control, and it is rewarding to see him learn and improve! Living in my apartment was a struggle for Marv - he got very stressed by the frequent dogs and people passing by the large windows, and the encounters with other dogs when out walking in the apartment community. He is doing great now that I am in a house with average windows in a quieter neighborhood." - Marvin's foster mom
My adoption comes with some extra benefits at the time of adoption!
Marvin is an all-star dog, and his adoption appointment includes a discussion with the training team, as well as a few enrichment goodies to help get you both off to a good start. To learn more about Marvin or to schedule an appointment to meet him, please email info@ahconnects.org (including your name and phone number), and the staff will be happy to assist you.
I hope to meet you soon!
