More about MARCUS

Meet Marcus – All the Shepherd Vibes, Fun-Size Edition Marcus is a 1-year-old German Shepherd mix with a uniquely adorable face that looks like it was designed by someone who couldn’t decide between “handsome” and “cute”… so they chose both. At just 32 pounds, he’s basically a German Shepherd that hit the compact mode button.Marcus is part of the shelter’s Shy Dog Program, but don’t let that fool you—this little guy is gaining confidence daily. He starts off a bit reserved, then quickly upgrades to tail-wagging, play-bowing social butterfly, especially when other dogs are involved. He’s very dog-friendly through the fence and would likely benefit from having a confident canine friend in his future home to show him the ropes.He already knows sit, takes treats very gently, and here’s the important part: after a few rounds of snacks, he goes from “shy guy” to “why are you not holding me right now?” Yes, he will attempt to jump into your arms. No, he does not see the problem.If you’ve ever wanted the loyalty, intelligence, and charm of a German Shepherd in a smaller, extra-squeezable package, Marcus might just be your perfect match.
