About this Dog
LOOKING FOR A GREAT MATCH: Approx. 8 years old / Approx. 9 lbs. Hi, my name’s Marvin! I came to Mostly Mutts from animal control. I am so glad to be in a loving foster home while I wait for my new family to find me! Come meet me soon and see if I am your new furry friend! I came in heartworm positive, but I'll be treated for that soon. • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I met some dogs recently at Mostly Mutts and although I didn’t want to play with them, I also didn’t show any aggression. I don’t mind my foster’s dogs either, one who is much bigger than me (60 lbs.) and another about my size (12 lbs.). When they come to sniff me, I will wag my tail in approval. If you have a nice dog at home, let’s meet and see if we can be pals. / There are some nice kitties in my foster home who come and sniff me, rub up against me, etc. and I just stand there and let them! I’m very tolerant of them and their curiosity about me so if you have a nice kitty at home already, let’s meet! / I met kids at Mostly Mutts (age 10+) and liked them. However, in both of my foster homes, I started to guard my favorite person when company came over, so older kids such as teens and up will be best, and of course, let’s meet! • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I am a sweet boy with a fun nature. I love to relax and snuggle up to you. I earned the reputation as a ‘velcro dog’ in my temporary foster home that I was in for 4 days – following my foster mom everywhere. I was cuddly and loving during my stay there. My new foster mom agrees, stating that I should have been named ‘Shadow’ – I just love to be with my people! I did start showing some guarding behaviors of my person and Mostly Mutts will be happy to help you with training to overcome that behavior as it is trainable. Since I respond well to verbal correction, my foster mom has given me a firm ‘no’ when I begin to guard, and this has helped me recognize that this is not a good boy behavior. I was also sweet, fun, and friendly with the photographer when it was my time for a photo shoot! / My energy level is currently 2-4. • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: In my temporary foster home, I learned the ‘stay’ command, and was working on ‘sit’ and ‘place’ and showed good leash manners. I love to learn and my new foster is working with me also so check back to see what else I master! / I don’t like being crated at Mostly Mutts as it seems to scare me and I acted tough in it when people approached me, so they moved me to a little room and I liked that better. In my foster home, they use a baby gate to keep me in their room while they are away and I’m alright with that. They also leave the TV on for me and I seem to enjoy that too. I am vocal when I don’t like something, or when I need something, so an apartment/condo type home likely wouldn’t be the best home for me. / My potty habits are pretty good on the shelter schedule, though I have done some marking. I respond well to verbal correction, so when I marked once in my new foster home, they verbally corrected me, and I have not done it since. My neuter and training should also help with that. • LIKES/DISLIKES: I’m an affectionate guy who loves to collect cuddles. I love laps and being near my person. Napping and snuggling are my favorite things! The volunteers have discovered that I love to sit out on the benches outside the shelter. Taking in the spring breeze and getting some pets, I can’t think of anything better! I’m also a treat fan, and I am learning to take them more gently. It helps to offer the treat in an open palm with the word ‘gentle’ before offering. / I don’t like to be left alone too much, so I would love a stay-at-/work-from-home family member. Otherwise, I’m sure I wouldn’t like it if I didn’t get enough love, attention, exercise, and training. • MEDICAL: I'm current on vaccinations, micro-chipped and neutered. I have luxating patellas, which are not uncommon in small dogs. I take a daily joint supplement, Cosequin, to help my joints feel their best. I also walk best with a harness, so it doesn’t push on my trachea making me cough. Unfortunately, my previous owner did not keep me on a monthly heartworm preventative, so I arrived heartworm positive. Thankfully, I’ve been treated for it and am in my recovery period now, which will conclude in June. I will have my heartworm re-check in November. I am still available for adoption during this time, but local adoption only, please. I am looking for a home where I will be a much-loved family member! My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.

Adopt Marvin and Receive Dogecoin
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Marvin's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised. Dogecoin is digital currency that can be exchanged for cash, traded, or held as an investment (see the "What is Dogecoin" section below).
0.0 DOGE is Marvin's current Dogecoin balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. If you adopted the Marvin, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Marvin's Dogecoin here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the Dogecoin by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Marvin was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Marvin’s Dogecoin balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
"The fun and friendly internet currency."
Dogecoin sets itself apart from other digital currencies with an amazing, vibrant community made up of friendly folks just like you. Dogecoin is a decentralized, peer-to-peer digital currency that enables you to easily send money online.
Learn more about it on youtube or at dogecoin.com.
We want the Marvin’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Marvin’s balance will remain in our general Dogecoin fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
