Marshall

ABOUT THIS ANIMAL: Meet Marshall - A Sweet Senior Still Waiting for His Second Chance <br/><br/>Marshall-known lovingly by staff as "Marshy" or "Marshmallow"-has been waiting longer than most, and it's hard not to feel how deeply he deserves to finally be home again.<br/><br/>After spending 8 years in a loving, structured home, Marshall found himself back in the shelter system, and the sudden change was overwhelming for him. Kennel life has been especially hard, and his anxiety grew to the point where he now spends his days in the quieter break room at the farm, where he feels more comfortable and settled.<br/><br/>And yet, even after everything, Marshall remains the same gentle, loving soul he's always been.<br/><br/>At his core, Marshall is a sweet, affectionate boy who just wants to be near his people. Once he feels safe, his personality begins to shine in the most endearing ways. He's goofy, expressive, and full of quiet charm-the kind of dog who makes you smile without even trying.<br/><br/>Marshall loves car rides, happily curling up in the back seat before eventually popping his head up to feel the wind on his face through an open window. He enjoys his naps, leans in for every bit of affection he can get, and has a funny, endearing habit of "talking" to his people when he's feeling happy or engaged. He'll roll around with his toys, soak up scratches (especially his favorite booty rubs), and even entertain himself by rolling toys down little hills just to chase them again.<br/><br/>There's a playful, silly side to Marshall that still comes out when he feels safe-and it's one of the most beautiful things about him.<br/><br/>What Marshall needs now is simple, but deeply important: a calm, loving home where he can feel secure again. A place where he can finally exhale, rebuild trust, and enjoy the comfort of belonging.<br/><br/>He has already given so much of his heart in his lifetime. He's just waiting for someone willing to give theirs back.<br/><br/>Marshall is a senior, and no senior dog should have to spend their golden years in a shelter. To help him find the family he so deeply deserves, his adoption fee has been waived and he is part of our REWARDS program.<br/><br/>Somewhere out there is a soft place for Marshall to land. We just need someone to see him.<br/><br/>ESTIMATED WEIGHT FULL GROWN: 65 pounds.<br/><br/>KNOWN WITH DOGS: Marshall is picky about his dog friends and would do best as the only dog in the home. <br/><br/>KNOWN WITH CATS: Marshall is not a fan of cats so we think a home without them would be best. <br/><br/>KNOWN WITH KIDS: Kids can make Marshall nervous and he would like to find a home where he can be the only child. <br/><br/>KNOWN CUES: Sit, Down, Wait, Come, Crawl, Touch, Spin, Wait, Leave it<br/><br/>KNOWN HOUSEBREAKING &/OR CRATING: Marshall is housebroken and does well when left alone. <br/><br/>KNOWN LIKES: Love and attention, Toys, Food, Walks, Car rides, People, The Park<br/><br/>KNOWN DISLIKES: Thunderstorms<br/><br/>___________________________________<br/>If you are interested in adopting this dog, please fill out our dog adoption questionnaire and e-mail any questions to: trailshomefarm@homewardtrails.org<br/><br/>PLEASE VISIT THIS WEBSITE TO FIND THE ADOPTION QUESTIONNAIRE:<br/>http://www.homewardtrails.org/adopt-a-pet/adoption-forms/<br/><br/>LOCATION:Trails Home Farm<br/>ADOPTION COORDINATOR: Trails Home Farm<br/><br/>HOW TO MEET THIS ANIMAL: All dogs located at Trails Home Farm are in Delaplane, VA and require an appointment for approved applicants to have a meet and greet.<br/><br/>ADOPTION FEE: Adoption Fee: WAIVED!

These dogs have been failed by humans along the way, leaving them homeless and with issues from their treatment. We'll be honest. Some of them are real jerks. But not always. And not to everyone. Not everyone can be charming ALL the time, right? Others are just fearful and don't like other animals because they have had a bad interaction at some point. Some of them love other dogs but are just plain scared of everything. But all of them are good on the inside. And we believe that ALL of them deserve a chance at life and love. And we're looking to find the right human out there to make that happen. But competition is tough. And they're up against small, well-behaved doggies...so we are offering incentives for special humans willing to give these pooches a chance. WE WANT YOU!<br/><br/><br/>***We are paying $500 to any approved foster or adopter of our REWARDS dogs.***<br/><br/><br/>The human will also get ongoing training support, all supplies covered and a $25 Amazon gift card each month for 6 months. You will learn and grow. You will be doing a world of good for a dog who has really had it rough in life.<br/>-------------<br/>HT ADOPTION INCLUSIONS:<br/>-Spay/Neuter<br/>-First 3 distemper series vaccines and dewormings<br/>-Rabies vaccine* age appropriate at time of adoption<br/>-Microchip - lifetime with no registration fees<br/>-Current on heartworm preventative<br/>-Current on flea/tick preventative<br/>----<br/>EXCLUSIVE HTAR ADOPTER BENEFITS:<br/>-$15 off your first chewy order of $49.00 or more<br/>-Exclusive pet insurance offers<br/>- $250 coverage at any VCA Hospital in the country<br/>-COMPLIMENTARY FIRST EXAMS at 10 DC-Area veterinarians <br/>- Free year-round dog training<br/>- KEEP YOUR PET SAFE: Homeward Trails is proud to offer PetLink GPS trackers that will allow you to know where your pet is in real time.**Exclusive for HT Adopters (does not include subscription plan): $50 Check it out here: https://landing.petlink.net/gps-dog-tracker<br/>-A portion of EVERY ADOPTION FEE supports spay/neuter efforts in under resourced communities<br/>-Free doggy day care offers<br/>-EXCLUSIVE DISCOUNTS for Homeward Trails events and merchandise<br/>-Win a $50 Amazon gift card
