About Marlin

Marlin is an 8-year-old Labrador Retriever mix who is looking for a new home after being surrendered by his family. This charming gentleman, weighing in at 56 lbs, has spent most of his life with his previous owners, so he knows the ropes of being a perfect housemate. Marlin is not just house-trained; he is also leash-trained and understands basic commands like sit. He enjoys the company of other dogs but prefers to relax and take it easy rather than engage in play. With his gentlemanly demeanor and affectionate personality, Marlin would make a wonderful addition to any family. Plus, he is great with kids and does not require a fenced-in yard. His adoption fee is currently waived, which includes his spay/neuter surgery, vaccinations, microchip, and transport to various states. Marlin is waiting for someone special to offer him a loving home. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
