Marshall

Marshall is a young boy from a hunter who wanted rid of him. The hunter told us he was 7 months old and had no name. When he arrived at the shelter, he was absolutely terrified, skinny and looked like he was struggling with his back legs. We didn’t have to think for long what to call this special chap, he was named Marshall after one of our very kind and generous supporters. He has had x-rays at the vets which show that although one hip isn’t perfect, it’s not cause for concern and the other hip is fine so with a good diet and gaining some muscle mass, he should be looking better very soon! Looking at the x-rays, the vet also thinks he is closer to 11 months old so Marshall’s DOB is an estimate. Marshall arrived at the shelter with many fears and was clearly not socialised or used to being around humans, but. he’s improved a lot in the short time he’s been there and is now a lot more confident thanks to his kennel buddies showing him the ropes. He’s gaining strength in his back legs now he’s on a better diet and getting to run and build muscle Marshall is looking for a family with a resident dog to help his confidence continue to grow. He’d suit a home with no young children best with adopters who can take things at his own space and show him the world doesn’t have to be so scary. Marshall is very young and has all the time in the world to gain confidence and become the amazing dog we know he is under all that fear!
