Marshall - pending adoption Labrador Retriever Mashpee, MA

IN VERMONT

My name is Marshall. I am a 7-month-old mixed lab pup and I weigh in at approximately 40 lbs. I have learned a lot since I came to Vermont a few weeks ago. Right now, I am in a foster home with 4 other dogs. I get along well with each and every one of them, although it can sometimes be a bit chaotic for my liking.

My beginnings were not very easy to say the least. My brothers, sisters and I were born in a horrible shelter, where we were stuck in a cage. The conditions were so poor that some of my siblings didn’t survive. My foster mom tells me that I am alive because I am tough, resilient and smart. She said my will to live and thrive is evident in my desire to learn and get along with others.

The longer I live in my foster home, the more confident I become. I am learning what I like and don’t particularly care for. It has been a lot of fun to experience so many new things, but I hear there are many more out there for me.

My wish list for my forever home is long but I am told a WISH list is just that, a wish. Not a must have, my foster mom helped me understand that nobody ever gets everything on their wish list, to just ask Santa.

In my forever home, I would need someone home more often than not. I’m still too young to be alone for too long. (because I lived in that nasty shelter, I am a little behind on my house manners, but I’m getting there).

Whoever becomes my person, would need to commit to training classes, lots of exercise and socialization with both 4 legged and 2 legged creatures.

I would be happy to have a dog sibling that is calm enough to help me learn the ways of the world, but if not, I would also be fine with humans that would be sure I got to play and learn from other dogs, either by scheduled play time with others or maybe going to doggie day care when I am old enough. Without exercise I do get bored easily and then seem to get into trouble.

Little humans, kind of scare me at first with their loud yelling and fast moving. If they are experienced with rescue dogs and know how to give me my space until I

He is up to date on vaccines
Marshall will make a wonderful addition to any family could that family, be you?

Marshall would love :

*a playmate
*a fenced yard where he can burn off extra puppy energy
*someone who is home more often than not and committed to daily walks
*An adult household is preferable but children should be older than 10
