About Marlon

Marlon is a very sweet young Border collie mix. He was really shut down at the shelter but we decided he needed a break! Marlon is now in a wonderful foster home with an older, mentor dog, and he is really starting to come out of his shell. This poor guy has been starved of love and attention so it's no wonder he is fearful and insecure. He is slow to trust new people , especially men, but once he has become friends with you, it's for life!! Marlon is not aggressive, just very timid around humans and wants to run away and hide. Marlon is great with other dogs (not good with cats!!) and he is really benefiting from the company and guidance of the resident dog in his current foster home. Ideally, we would really like to find Marlon a forever home with another dog so that he can continue to gain confidence and thrive! His foster family are already seeing positive changes in Marlon - he is becoming more secure and more playful! We can't wait to see him blossom further! Give us a call to find out more about this sweet boy!
