About Marshall

Marshall is a sweet, gentle boy with a calm and easygoing nature. This affectionate dog enjoys both quiet cuddle sessions and playful walks, striking a wonderful balance that makes him a joy to be around. He is crate trained, keeps his kennel clean, knows how to sit, and walks nicely on a leash. While he has a solid foundation, he will thrive with a family that can provide ongoing training. Marshall is selective with his dog friends and does display resource guarding over his food, so thoughtful introductions and meal routines are essential. However, he gets along well with children ages seven and up, making him suitable for a first-time owner able to provide structure. Once he feels secure, Marshall transforms into a loving companion, readily curling up in your lap after an outing. With his soft ears and silky coat, he's ready for a home that will give him the patience he needs to flourish. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
