About Marlin

Marlin is an 8-year-old Labrador Retriever mix who is looking for a new home after being surrendered due to his family's move. He’s spent most of his life in a loving environment and is eager to find that same comfort again. As a well-mannered gentleman, Marlin comes with a host of skills; he’s house-trained, leash-trained, and knows how to sit on command. While he enjoys the company of other dogs, he prefers to take it easy rather than jump into playtime. With his charming personality, Marlin is ready to bring joy to a family that appreciates a loyal companion. He’s already vaccinated and will be neutered before adoption. Plus, his adoption fee is currently waived, making this an ideal opportunity for someone ready to welcome a loving dog into their home. You don’t need a fenced yard, and families with children are welcome to apply! Marlin's adoption could be the start of something truly wonderful for both of you. Ready to meet him?
