This magnificent Misfit is medium-energy and easygoing-70% couch potato, 30% adventure buddy. He's equal parts playful and affectionate and Marshall (AKA Slim Shady) has a happy-go-lucky spirit that makes every day brighter.
Although Marshall was born with deformed front legs, that doesn't stop him from having a fulfilling life. Through ongoing physiotherapy, he has developed some awesome muscle mass and can walk and run with a unique style.
Marshall loves adventures at the beach and forest frolics, as long as they are short and sweet. This boy hasn't met a puddle or pool he doesn't like. He's even been known to surf! After a little trip out, he's happy to kick back and share his love and charm with you on the couch.
Bighearted, this silver sensation has much love to share with his canine friends and people alike. Slim gets along with everyone and would be thrilled to have a canine buddy to wrestle with. When it comes to kids, we recommend older ones, as this little house hippo can get playful and energetic.
So what do you have to do to get all his love in return?
Slim requires at home strengthening exercises a few times a week. We also recommend that he receive periodic professional physio and laser treatment. His long-term mobility will depend on a family maintaining his excellent muscle mass and lean body. Keeping him trim and "Slim" is paramount although there is a possibility that as he ages, he may need help with a wheelchair.
Marshal weighs 35 pounds and can eat just about anything. No diet issues here! He is house trained and has not been destructive when left alone. He's neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and ready to wow his new family.
