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.

Please don't let Marcus be the one left behind. He's already waited far too long.
