Oh — hi! Marcus here.

I've been waiting so long for someone to choose me, but I promise my gentle heart and loyalty are worth the patience.

My notes call me gentle and a little shy — I warm up fast once I trust you, though.

I'm a youngster — a little goofy, very teachable, and absolutely ready to grow up beside someone wonderful.

I'm on the bigger side — which, if you ask me, is just more of me to hug.

I've been holding down the fort in phoenix, hoping someone like you would wander by.

Here's the thing — I can't tell if we'd truly click until I know a little about you. Sign in (it's free) and I'll size up your place, say hello to any dogs you've got — or be your very first — and give you my honest read on whether we'd be a match.

With a little luck, Thanksgiving could be my first one in a real home — possibly with you, or with someone you send my way.

Thanks for stopping by and giving me a moment — it honestly made my whole day. — Marcus

About Marcus

Meet Marcus — a gentle Black Mouth Cur mix still waiting for the love he deserves. Marcus's story is a heartbreaking one. In December 2024, the person who was supposed to love him dropped him — along with two other dogs — at a boarding facility and never came back. Since that day, Marcus has spent over a year living in a kennel, paying the price for a human's failure. And yet… he's still sweet, still hopeful, still waiting. The hardest part? Marcus is the only one still left behind. One of his former fur siblings is now safe in a foster home, and the other has already been adopted. Marcus is still waiting for his turn. Marcus is a Black Mouth Cur mix, about 3–4 years old, neutered, and up to date on vaccines. He's a sensitive boy who may be a little shy at first, but once he feels safe, his loving and gentle personality shines. He walks nicely on leash, enjoys quiet companionship, and would love nothing more than a calm, cozy home. Marcus would do best in a home with no cats and no children, as too much activity makes him nervous. Having another calm, friendly dog around his size could be a great fit for Marcus and help him build confidence. A dog introduction is required to ensure a good match. What Marcus needs most right now is out of boarding and into a home — whether that's a foster or a forever family — where he can finally feel safe, wanted, and loved.
