Marvin

Meet Marvin, the Jackpot Pup!If you’ve been waiting for the perfect dog… your search ends here. Meet Marvin — the once-forgotten stray who turned his heartbreak into hope and his fear into pure love.

Abandoned and too scared to be touched, Marvin spent months surviving on his own in an Ennis neighborhood. But with patience, compassion, and a soft hand, he finally let his guard down — and from that moment on, his true personality bloomed. Today, Marvin is loyal, affectionate, and one of the most soulful dogs you’ll ever meet.

Why Marvin is Pure Gold:
- Knows multiple commands like a total gentleman
- Gentle and social with dogs, cats, pigs — and probably unicorns too
- Professional-grade cuddler (he prefers being the little spoon )
- Crate, potty, and leash trained
- Loves cozy beds, gentle voices, and kind hearts
- Kid-approved sweetheart
- Fully vetted: neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and heartworm negative

Marvin’s calm, easygoing nature makes him the perfect companion for any household. He’s resilient, loving, and full of quiet gratitude for the life he’s been given. He even completed confidence training with our Behavioral Director to help him feel secure meeting new people.

A quick heads-up: Marvin is clever enough to outsmart your average wire crate, but he does wonderfully in a Ruffland or Smonter kennel.

Marvin isn’t just a good dog — he’s a once-in-a-lifetime kind of soul. Adopt him, and you’re not just gaining a companion… you’re winning the love lottery. Apply to meet Marvin at CRAPrescue.org/application.

Adoption process: After your phone screening, we can schedule a meet and greet / the start of your foster-to-adopt trial. All adoptions have a 2 week minimum foster-to-adopt trial to make sure that the pet is the right fit for your home, and vice versa. Marvin's adoption fee is $250, which would be due after the foster-to-adopt period. If you are located outside of Texas, we offer to-your-door transportation and have so many happy families as references. We are very transparent about the process so feel free to ask any questions.
