Description

Marlin's ideal home

Marlin has come back into our care after around 8 years in his home due to his previous owner sadly passing away. This sensitive chap is looking for a calm, peaceful home with gentle and understanding adopters who have time and patience to work on settling him in and meeting his needs once he is in the home environment. Marlin will need to be the only pet in his home and needs an adult only household. Despite his age, Marlin is an active guy who enjoys a good stroll. He would prefer walks in quiet areas without too many distractions so that he can get on with his sniffing and exploring and he will need his own private garden. As he can be wary when meeting new people, Marlin will need a predictable home where there are minimal visitors, especially at first so he can relax and feel settled in his space with adopters who can advocate for him and his space. Our training team will offer full support on this to ensure that Marlin will thrive in his new home. He is a clever boy with a few tricks under his belt already and he is very food motivated, so he could learn lots more with his new adopters! Marlin really loves to spend time with his humans, so although he can manage a couple of hours of leaving time in his home, this should be introduced gradually and carefully once he is fully settled in. Marlin will need to meet his adopters multiple times prior to going home to build a strong bond and he might need visits from our behaviour team once he goes home so adopters will need to live within 45 minutes driving distance from the Canterbury Rehoming Centre so please bear this in mind prior to applying for him.

Could you be Marlin's perfect match?

Marlin is a 10 year old German Shepherd Cross who is the most wonderful, loyal and playful boy once he builds a bond with you. He enjoys his walks and playing with all his toys and doing fun training… you can definitely teach this older boy new tricks! He is super smart, picking up new things super-fast and he loves showing off his skills for a tasty reward! Once Marlin gets to know you, he is a real cuddle bug… he adores back scratches and if you stop, he will let you know if he wants more with a little nose nudge! With lots of time, love, patience and training, Marlin will make a wonderful, calm addition to your home and you’ll have a loyal and loving best friend!

Buying Checklist

German Shepherd Buying Checklist

We highly recommend every buyer reads through the below advice when purchasing or rehoming a German Shepherd.

  • View the animal in the place it was born and raised - check for genuine home environments if buying privately, or the quality of the breeders set-up if applicable.
  • If viewing a puppy under 6 months, by law they MUST be seen with their mum.
  • Make sure the animal's old enough to be rehomed. 8 weeks should be the earliest a puppy can be rehomed.
  • By law, all dogs MUST be microchipped

Avoid Potential Scams

There are a number of red flags to look out for when purchasing a new puppy:

  • Seller demands a deposit without allowing you to see the dog first - never send any money before meeting the animal in person
  • Seller is reluctant to send you additional photos or videos
  • Seller offers to deliver the dog/puppy
  • Seller asks to meet in a mutual location
  • Seller uses fake or stolen photos from the internet. Always carry out a "Google image search".

Although we have a number of automated systems in place to prevent scam and fraudulant adverts, these can never be 100% accurate and its important to use caution when buying online. We do not accept any responsibility for transactions between our users, especially when our safe buying advice is not followed.
