Meet Marlin, the gentle soul who is making his journey from a past of confinement to a brighter future! 🐾 At his core, Marlin is a sweet old fella who spent his earlier years as a breeder. Imagine a life spent in a crate - that’s where he has come from! 😔 This means Marlin may be a bit hesitant around new faces and prefers to keep a comfortable distance. He’s the type who would prefer to be seen rather than snuggled up just yet. Marlin needs a home that is as tranquil as his spirit. A fully fenced yard is a must for this delightful guy! He isn’t leash trained, and it’s likely he will take his time before he’s ready for the leash life. 🌳 He does require a furry companion in the form of a small, confident dog to help guide him through his new world. Over the past year in foster care, Marlin has made incredible strides! He’s begun to venture outside on his own and is learning that the world isn’t so scary after all. 😊 While he might not be the cuddly type yet or ready for long walks in the park, the joy in adopting Marlin will be witnessing his transformation from a shy guy to a more confident pup. Just think of the delightful day when he finally figures out that those soft pets are okay!
