American Staffordshire Terrier and Mastiff Dogs Available for Adoption

Hi, I'm Marvel, and yes, the name fits! I'm kind of a superhero in my own right: fast, fun, full of life, and ready to make a splash (literally). I love water, the splash pad is my happy place, and I'd make an amazing lake dog. Whether it's jumping in, running through, or just getting my paws wet, I'm all in.

I've got a lot of energy and I'm always up for an adventure, but don't worry, I've also got a super sweet side and I've been told I am a master splooter. I'm looking for an active family who can keep up with my zest for life and give me all the love I deserve. I'm also great with other active dogs who can match my energy.

If you're ready for a sidekick who's equal parts playful and affectionate, I'm your pup! I have a lot of friends here - staff, volunteers, and multiple dog playmates. I am also part of the Adoption Academy, a fun sidequest of mine where I learn new skills with some of my favorite volunteers.

I qualify for Welcome Trial, which means you can foster me for 14 days prior to adoption to ensure I'm the perfect fit for your family!

-XOXO,
"Marvelous" Marvel ...
