Marcelle is an energetic, independent dog who keeps himself entertained with toys and finds pure joy in running, romping, and a good swim. He’s happiest when he can play, whether solo or alongside a compatible dog friend. Around new people, Marcelle needs a bit of space at first—he can be a little reserved until he’s sure you’re safe, but given patience, he forms a meaningful and loyal connection. He’d thrive with someone who leads an active life and values a companion that respects his own pace and independence. Marcelle would be a great fit for an adopter looking for a blend of playful spirit and an independent streak. They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply?
