About Marshall
Marshall is a sweet, gentle boy with a calm demeanor that's simply charming. He loves spending time with his people, equally content chilling for cuddles or going for a relaxed walk. His playful energy is nicely balanced with his laid-back nature, making him a delightful companion to have around. Having joined Animal Welfare Friends after some challenges at home, Marshall will thrive in a patient environment that allows him to continue feeling secure. He knows how to sit, is crate trained, and keeps his kennel tidy, providing a solid base for ongoing training. His future family should be prepared to work on his indoor behaviors with consistency and care. Marshall is dog selective and involves some resource guarding over food, so gradual introductions to other dogs are essential, along with a family that understands the need for space during meals. He has been great with kids aged 7 and older, making him an excellent choice for first-time owners willing to provide structure. Once he trusts you, he becomes an affectionate companion who enjoys snuggling after walks. With his soft, fluffy ears and sweet personality, Marshall needs a loving family that can provide the consistency and patience he requires to flourish.
