My Name Is *MARSH!
Meet Marsh. A gentle soul who just needs the right setting to shine.
Marsh is really struggling in the shelter. The noise, the kennels, the constant stress make him shut down — but once he’s out, he becomes a completely different dog.
On a short field trip, Marsh relaxed, explored, and showed who he truly is.
He rides great in the car, calmly settling in for the drive (and even sneaking in a nap). He walks beautifully on leash and wasn’t reactive to dogs, people, or busy surroundings — even at a noisy park full of kids and distractions. He handled it all with quiet confidence.
Marsh is sensitive and thoughtful. Raised voices worry him, and he seeks reassurance when he thinks he’s done something wrong. He’d do best in a calm, gentle home where he can feel safe and understood, especially at first.
He’s shy when meeting new people, but slow introductions go a long way. Once he trusts you, Marsh is pure affection — belly rubs, booty scratches, and leaning his big head into your hand for face rubs are his love language.
He’s surprisingly spry, hops right into the car, and enjoys long walks, though he’s more of a steady walking buddy than a hardcore adventurer.
Marsh is likely house trained - he avoids pottying in his kennel. He's part of the training program for doggies at the shelter, and he goes to playgroup with other shelter dogs. He prefers calm and dainty dogs.
Marsh has so much to offer, but the shelter makes it hard for him to show it. He desperately needs a foster or adopter willing to take a chance on a sensitive, loving dog who just needs peace and patience.
