Right from the start, Marlin was a sweet, smooshy puppy who loved life, other dogs, and all people including every single soul he hasn’t met yet earning him the nickname Marshmallow. He was such an easy going, happy puppy. He loved walking adventures with his friends, a good puppy play date and new experiences like playing in the ocean, and staying in hotels, but his most favorite pastime was snuggling with his humans. Marlin was never in a hurry to do anything; he took his time to make sure he was doing whatever was asked of him, just right. If you are ever lucky enough to have Marlin look into your eyes, watch out because you are likely to be melted by his gentle spirit and kind heart. We wish Marlin the most wonderful life that he deserves and are confident that’s exactly what he has found. ~Kari Parrish and Bernie Corbett
