Marcus's Story
3-4 Years Old, Dog Selective, Fully Vaccinated, Neutered and Chipped. <br/>***Adoption Fee sponsored!<br/><br/>Hey there, I’m Marcus, and my story is a bit of a mystery, but my hopes and dreams of finding a forever home are as real as they can be. I guess I caused quite a sensation the 10 days I was on the move throughout Blue Island—I was wearing a collar and a leash, but I was quite elusive and crafty because of how scared I was. Thankfully, some really kind people worked together to help get me here.<br/><br/>I’m a gentle giant. I’m a bigger fellow, around 60 lbs; but I am so calm on my leash and in my kennel. I am easy going and mild. I would never boast this myself, but everyone tells me I’m a total hunk—I guess my coat is velvety soft, and my ears are soft and sweet, and my eyes are a very hypnotic green, and the truth is I stare out at the world, waiting to understand what will happen to me next, daring to hope it will be something wonderful.<br/><br/>I love my walks, I love sniffing and roaming and feeling the fresh air, and I love stopping to watch the birds at their feeders or the geese flying overhead. I love the freedom I feel when I’m out in the world, and it’s hard for me to come back to the kennels when I need to. But I’m so grateful to have my food, and my blankets and to be warm. It was very cold when I was out on my own, and I have some frostbite on my ears that is beginning to heal.<br/><br/>I’m gentle and kind with all people, and have absolutely no problem with cats, but I do not like other dogs. I will need to be in a household where I am the only dog around, and I will need to be paired with someone who will be patient with me when I encounter other dogs in the world—I am learning, because I am very smart and I know many commands, but those other dogs are about the only thing in this world that rile me up.<br/><br/>I know I would thrive with someone who could give me a safe, warm home, and some consistent affection. I would love to be with someone who wants to be outside with me, on long walks or playing in the backyard, enjoying the beauty all around. We can watch and appreciate it together.<br/><br/>I am up-to-date on my vaccinations, am heartworm negative and I am neutered and chipped. <br/><br/>If you are interested in meeting me or meeting any of my friends also here at the rescue, please send an email to blueislandstrays@gmail.com. <br/><br/>Adoption fee includes their spay/neuter, rabies, chip, HW, distemper & poop test.
