🐾 Meet Marvin — Left Behind, But Not Forgotten 💔
When his owners divorced, Marvin was left at a shelter — alone, confused, and heartbroken. But thanks to a group of dedicated volunteers, his story didn’t end there. Now, Marvin is ready for a fresh start with someone who truly understands him.
✨ About Marvin
• Breed: Possibly Australian Shepherd × Border Collie (no tail)
• Age: 6 years
• Sex: Male
• Location: London
• Neutered, vaccinated, microchipped
Marvin is bright, loyal, and very trainable. He responds beautifully to calm, consistent guidance. He can be anxious /may react protectively in unfamiliar situations and prefers his personal space — he’s happiest when people and animals respect his boundaries and his human isn’t shared!
💡 He doesn’t like strangers reaching to pet him without his consent — once he trusts you, he’ll come to you for affection on his own terms.
He’s a “walk, snuggle, repeat” kind of guy — moderate energy, easy to manage, and happiest with routine and reassurance.
⸻
🏡 Ideal Home
• Calm, experienced owner (single or couple)
• No other pets or children
• Predictable routine and patient handling
• Someone who appreciates a loyal, loving companion who values his space
With the right structure and a gentle, confident leader, Marvin blossoms — showing his deeply affectionate and devoted nature.

🐶 Foster Home Notes
🏠 Home Life
• Settled quickly after initial anxiety; now affectionate and calm
• Bonds strongly with his person
• Prefers to be left alone by other dogs and cats — gives a clear growl if approached
• Doesn’t enjoy being petted by strangers; prefers to initiate contact when comfortable
• Excellent house manners (apart from occasional bin raids — he’s a sneaky snack bandit! Secure the kitchen or teach him clear rules)
🚶♂️ Walks & Training
• Walks beautifully on leash — relaxed, responsive, and 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
• Can startle at sudden loud noises (e.g. close engines, high-vis uniforms) but calms quickly with guidance
• Generally quiet — doesn’t bark at the door or delivery people
💡 Training Tips
• Introduce other dogs slowly, on neutral ground, with distance
• Use clear, consistent commands — he thrives on structure
• Be mindful of sudden appearances or unfamiliar people trying to approach
• Allow bonding time — he attaches deeply once settled

❤️ Why Marvin is Special
Marvin is a deeply loving, loyal soul who’s been through loss but hasn’t lost hope. He’s looking for someone who’ll lead with kindness, give him space to feel safe, and welcome his gentle heart.
Give him structure, affection, and a calm home — and you’ll earn the love of a truly devoted companion who’ll think you’re the best thing that ever happened to him 💫
