About Marsh

Click apply to start the adoption process. What do you do with a boy named Marsh? It's a serious question for anyone ready to meet a truly magnificent dog. Marsh is a very young, incredibly large Cane Corso mix—tipping the scales at over 100 lbs—with a sweet soul and a gentle side that shines through, even though he hasn't had the training or guidance he deserves. Because Marsh is untrained, you'll definitely feel his enthusiasm for life, especially if he gets excited and jumps up. His past hasn’t been easy: Marsh was abandoned along with two other dogs, one of whom was injured, and he now wears a few battle scars on his head as a result. Sadly, because his role in the incident isn’t clear, Marsh needs to be the only animal in his future home, and due to his impressive size and youthful energy, he is not well-suited for households with children—even his well-meaning play can feel overwhelming. Despite his rough start, Marsh is longing for a safe, loving environment where he can learn and thrive. He deserves a soft place to land, and if you’re ready to provide that, you’ll find a loyal companion waiting for you. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
