About Marin D

Meet Marin! This sweet, goofy girl is packed with love and a playful spirit. At first, she may bark when she meets new people, but a few treats and some patience will win her over quickly. Once Marin knows you’re a friend, she’ll warm up to you in no time. Marin enjoys playtime but remains a mellow companion overall. She loves being your little shadow, especially during fetch. Give her a tennis ball, and she'll have it shredded in minutes. She prefers hard plastic balls for longer play sessions. When playtime wraps up, this adorable girl shows her loving side. She stretches, rolls onto her back, and even greets you with happy jumps when you're around. Marin is house-trained and knows commands like sit and stay, but she’s still polishing her manners. In her kennel, she’s a good girl, though it takes gentle encouragement for her to settle in. Marin thrives in a home where introductions to new people and animals are slow and thoughtful. Currently, she’s selective with her dog friends and not so keen on cats or small dogs. If you have another dog, a calm, gentle pup is ideal. Marin is also quite the squirrel spotter, so her leash manners need a bit of work. Secure walks and continued leash training will help her adjust. At the heart of Marin’s affection is love, patience, and some fun playtime. Once she trusts you, you'll have a devoted friend who wants to share life’s adventures with you. What are you waiting for?
