Description


Marvin Needs Single or Couple, Without Pets Home 
Marvin’s story is one of resilience. His previous owners never truly valued him and likely kept him confined at home. When they divorced, he was left alone, confused, and heartbroken. Thanks to dedicated volunteers, Marvin now has a chance for the loving, patient home he truly deserves. ✨ About Marvin Breed: Possibly Australian Shepherd × Border Collie (no tail) Age: 5 years Sex: Male Location: NewMarket, Suffolk Neutered, vaccinated, microchipped Marvin is bright, loyal, and highly trainable. He thrives with calm, consistent guidance. While he can be anxious and protective in unfamiliar situations, he flourishes in a predictable environment where his boundaries are respected. 💡 Marvin prefers to approach people for affection on his own terms — he doesn’t like strangers reaching out without permission. Once he trusts you, he’s an affectionate, devoted companion. 🏡 Ideal Home Calm, experienced owner (single or couple) No other pets or children Predictable routine and patient handling Someone who values a loyal companion who needs space and reassurance With structure, kindness, and gentle leadership, Marvin blossoms into the loving, devoted dog he truly is. ⸻ 🐶 Foster Home Notes Home Life Settled quickly after initial anxiety; affectionate and calm now Bonds strongly with his person Prefers to be left alone by other dogs and cats — gives a clear growl if approached Excellent house manners (though occasional bin raids — secure kitchen or set clear rules) Walks & Training Walks beautifully on leash — relaxed, responsive, easy to handle 1.5–2 hours of daily walking is ideal Knows commands: stop, wait, come, no, this way, sit Toilet-trained, clean on walks Generally quiet — doesn’t bark at the door or delivery people 💡 Training Tips Introduce other dogs slowly, on neutral ground, at a distance Use clear, consistent commands — he thrives on structure ⸻ ❤️ Health Notes — Atopic Dermatitis Marvin has atopic dermatitis and previously chewed his paws due to discomfort. With his medication and hypoallergenic diet, he’s now calm and much more comfortable. Ongoing care is important: monthly costs for food and medication are around £200. This ensures Marvin remains healthy, happy, and stress-free. Important: Marvin needs an owner committed to his well-being, including his health care. This is not a dog for someone who isn’t prepared for ongoing costs — with proper care, he’s calm, affectionate, and a true companion. ⸻ 💫 Why Marvin is Special Marvin is a deeply loving, loyal soul who has been through neglect and loss but hasn’t lost hope. He’s looking for someone who’ll lead with kindness, respect his space, and offer the structure he thrives on. Give Marvin a calm, consistent home — and you’ll have a devoted companion who will love you with all his heart. Note: Training support is available, and no adoption fee is required if you take part in Marvin’s training.

FurDopt Safety Advice: You MUST read our buyer's checklist before contacting the advertiser.

Buyer's checklist to avoid scams!

Keep all communication on Furdopt.com – Avoid moving to external platforms where scams are common.
Never send a deposit unless you have viewed the pet in person – Scammers often ask for upfront payments and disappear.
Don’t share your ID or personal details – Protect yourself from identity theft and fraud.
Beware of phishing scams – Avoid clicking on suspicious links or emails asking for login details.
Be responsible, do your own research – Verify the seller, their background, and the pet’s history.
Ask lots of questions – A genuine seller will provide health records, vaccination details, and pet history.
Meet in a safe place – Always visit the seller’s premises to see the pet in a secure environment.
Check for warning signs – Unusually low prices, urgency, or reluctance to meet in person are red flags.
Request vet records and microchip details – Ensure the pet is healthy and legally registered.
Avoid sellers who refuse video calls or in-person meetings – Scammers often hide behind fake listings.
Trust your instincts – If something feels off, walk away and report suspicious listings.
