MARV - Portuguese Podengo Dog for Adoption in Methuen, Massachusetts

Meet Marv! He has the most expressive eyes and a long list of favorite things. He would make a great companion on long strolls where he loves to keep his nose to the ground. He enjoys playtime and walks with other dogs. Marv is also a fan of his people. He loves toys and keeping busy with engaging activities. Marv is looking for a home where he can relax and learn the lay of the land. He is hoping for a family that is willing to learn about him and respond to his signals with training and positive reinforcement for good choices. Marv has lived with dogs before and could do so again. He should have a thoughtful introduction to a dog who should have a complementary personality to Marv. We do not know if Marv has lived with cats. He could be successful with a thoughtful introduction. We also are not aware of Marv living with children. He could live with children who can participate in his training plan, practice petting consent, and can give Mav space when he needs it.
