About Marvin

Meet Marvin! Marvin spent 99 days at the Moreno Valley Shelter after arriving as a stray. Despite his long wait, he emerged on September 24th still full of life, affection, and ready to love everyone he meets. This 3-year-old German Shepherd mix weighs 82 lbs and is incredibly affectionate and cuddly. He’s obsessed with balls and toys, crate trained, and eager to learn. Marvin is a total velcro dog, always wanting to be near his person—whether that's cuddling on the couch, keeping you company while you work, or even following you into the shower. Currently, he's in a board & train program working on leash manners and social interactions with other dogs. Marvin is still adjusting from his time in the shelter, so we're learning about his ideal activity level. His perfect day includes a long walk, a pile of tennis balls, some time with his favorite plushie, and curling up on the couch with his person in the evening. Marvin is ready for an active home that will continue his training and embrace this big, goofy, affectionate shadow. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
