My story

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

❤️ And then a hero comes along... ❤️

Marcel provided a life saving blood transfusion to another dog and was scheduled to be euthanized just days later when Wish was able to secure a foster family with literally no time left. His heroic journey isn't over yet because he's ready to be saved again by his forever family.

Marcel

-Named for French mime Marcel Morceau because they have matching "eyebrows"

Age: 1-2 years

Sex: Male

Weight: approx 65 lbs of muscle

Breed: Bully? That curled tailed tho

PERSONALITY: I'm pretty spoiled by my foster parents because they think I earned the special treatment. I love being outside, and could benefit from a moderately active family that let's me burn off energy although that's not an absolute requirement. A fenced in yard with no holes or gaps is a must since I enjoy my time outdoors. I also love to snuggle taking naps on the couch... and I snore! I am eager to please and love learning. But don't worry... I can be a pretty chill dude when it's needed too and will be extremely loyal to my people when I find them.

I excel at:

🚽 Potty Training - I've had one nervous accident in the entire time at my foster home. I always potty outside on a schedule.

🐾 Making friends with both dogs and tentatively cats... I have been living with two feline and one canine brothers. I am happy to have a playmate!

🧠 Learning new things - I already know Sit, Stay, and Paw/Shake. I'm very smart and *EXTREMELY* motivated by treats. I'm learning "crate" and those lessons are ongoing.

💤 Sleeping & cuddling... I'm crate trained and can sleep the whole night, relax during the work day, and take breaks/naps in my special space. I'm an excellent couch potato and cuddle bug as well. I especially enjoy watching TV.

🦛 Eating... I use a slow feeder bowl because I eat really fast. Ever seen hungry hungry hippos? Then you have the idea.

🧸 Toy destruction... I'm still a baby so I like to shred my toys, but they will be well used and loved before they go to the life beyond in the garbage. I especially like removing squeakers and chasing after balls.

HEALTH & GROOMING: My coat is short and very soft, but my foster parents haven't noticed any major shedding. I am up to date on all my vaccinations, neutered, and microchipped.

What will it take to make Marcel yours?

• Love, Food & lots of toys

• I want to be the best pupper I can be. I love to learn!

• Patience & boundaries while I adjust and learn a new spaces and routines. This is required of every adopter, naturally.

• Someone with no personal space issues - I'm really good at giving unsolicited kisses and licks. I prefer to see my people, know what's going on, and want to be in on the fun... even if the fun is relaxing on the sofa.

The adoption fee for Marcel is $400. This donation helps to cover veterinary expenses including spay/neuter, microchip and vaccinations.
