If you've ever believed that second chances can change a life, just wait until you meet Marvin. When he came to our rescue from a hoarding case, he was heartbreakingly thin with a body condition score of just 2 out of 9. Nearly every bone in his tiny body was visible, and it was clear he hadn't known the care every dog deserves. But thanks to good nutrition, medical care, and lots of love, Marvin has made an incredible recovery. Today, this sweet 14-year-old gentleman is healthy, comfortable, and ready to find the forever family he's waited so long for. Marvin has the gentlest soul. His favorite way to start the day is stretched out in a warm patch of sunshine before spending the rest of it simply being near his favorite person. Whether you're reading a book, watching TV, or working around the house, Marvin is happiest just keeping you company. When he first came to us, he was content simply being nearby. Now he's discovered just how wonderful laps can be! He'll happily climb up for some love and stay there as long as you'll let him. Watching his confidence blossom has been one of the greatest joys of his journey. Marvin gets along beautifully with people, other dogs, and even cats. He's house trained and has wonderful manners, bringing a calm, comforting presence to every room he enters. Marvin takes daily heart medication, which helps keep him feeling his very best. He takes it like a champ and doesn’t let it slow him down one bit. Marvin has overcome so much, but he hasn't let his past change his sweet, trusting heart. Now all he needs is a family to show him that the rest of his story will be filled with love, soft beds, sunny windows, and all the cuddles he's missed along the way.
