Marcus

Meet Marcus – The Gentle Boy with a Heart of Gold<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a guard dog, Marcus looks the part but don’t be fooled! This 6-month-old, 40-pound sweetheart is all mush and zero menace. He’s a calm, gentle soul who’d rather snuggle than stand guard. The only time he raises his voice is to protect his dinner bowl with a comically high-pitched bark that's more cute than tough!<br/><br/>Marcus came to us as part of a parvo litter in need of urgent help. While his littermates recovered quickly, Marcus spent a full month at the vet fighting for his life and he won that battle like a champ. During his recovery, he was diagnosed with Addison’s Disease, a condition that requires daily prednisone, monthly Zycortal injections, and routine bloodwork to keep him healthy. With the proper care, dogs with Addison’s can go on to live long, happy, and healthy lives and Marcus is well on his way!<br/><br/>Despite his diagnosis, Marcus is thriving. He’s full of love, enjoys playtime zoomies, and is growing fast (he’s still figuring out what to do with those big webbed “duck” feet!). He’s house-trained, great with dogs, cats, and kids of all sizes, and has a calm temperament that could make him an amazing emotional support companion.<br/><br/>Marcus isn’t crate-trained, but that’s because he’d rather be cuddled up next to you on the couch or in the bed. He’s up to date on all vaccinations and will be neutered and microchipped before leaving for his forever home. He’s looking for a family that understands his medical needs and has plenty of love (and snuggles) to give.<br/><br/>* Special needs: Addison’s Disease – daily medication and monthly injections required<br/>* House-trained<br/>* Good with dogs, cats, and kids<br/>* Loves to snuggle and play<br/>* Up to date on vaccines; will be neutered and microchipped before adoption<br/><br/>If you have room in your heart and home for a brave, loving boy who’s overcome so much, Marcus will reward you with endless affection and gratitude. <br/><br/>Fenced yard preferred for young dogs to have plenty of space to play and potty safely. If you're interested in meeting the special boy, please fill out an adoption application on our website and once approved, we will schedule a meet and greet. https://www.lancasterspca.net/online-application
