Overview

Meet Marcus, a cuddly 8-year-old red short-haired pup who's looking for his forever cuddle buddy!

 

Marcus is a sweet 14-pound gentleman who loves nothing more than curling up for a good snuggle. This little guy found himself at Little Paws through no fault of his own after his previous owner developed dementia. Now he's ready to bond with someone new and shower them with affection.

 

Environment

Marcus has a mix of energy needs—he enjoys his daily walks (and he's great on a leash!) but also values his downtime. While he's fully potty trained when given regular outdoor access, he appreciates having a fenced yard to explore and do his business. Marcus will bark briefly to announce visitors but is otherwise mostly quiet, making him suitable for homes with shared walls.

 

He does experience some separation anxiety and prefers not to be left alone for extended periods. He'll use a crate when needed but it's not his favorite place to be. Marcus is looking for someone who can give him the time and attention he deserves.

 

Pets & People

Marcus tends to bond quickly with one special person but gets along fine with other adults in the home. He hasn't been tested with children. He's done well in public settings like the vet's office and pet store.

 

As an only dog for most of his life, Marcus is still learning proper playtime manners and may try to establish himself by jumping, though he’s not aggressive. He's gentle with food and treats, making training a pleasant experience. For a bit of entertainment, watch for his occasional "zoomies" when playful energy strikes.
