About Marvin

Adoption Fee: $25
German Shepherd mix
Age: Young Adult
Sex: Male

We are looking to rehome our German Shepherd, Marvin. While Marvin is sweet as can be around humans, he has been reactive to dogs and cats since JenĚŠ rescued him as a stray 3 years ago. His reactivity makes living in a city condo challenging, where he doesn't have a yard to run around and is constantly exposed to other animals. We have put Marvin through an extensive training program with the Dog Wizard (we highly recommend them!), and while he has definitely shown signs of improvement, he will likely always have some degree of reactivity. Marv's natural state is 'calm couch potato.' He loves curling up in a cozy spot and soaking it all in, whether that's inside or on the porch with you. He knows basic commands (sit, stay, place, heel) and would love for you to teach him a new one! If he gets too excited trying to initiate play and starts to nibble, say 'get a toy,' and he'll go find one. He may want you to join in on the fun, though. This handsome boy will be 5 years old May 2026, and has a special diet of hypoallergenic kibble due to a sensitive GSD tummy and chicken allergy. Good news for you though, you'll know exactly what to feed him! Marvin is the best dog in the world; he just needs to live in the country, away from his triggers. If you can give him that, you'll have a calm, love-filled best friend ready to follow you to the end of the earth.
