00:00he was clearly abandoned there
00:04josh came to the park armed with treats and water when dogs are scared they will not take
00:10food and so he wasn't taking any treats but little by little josh was able to earn his
00:17trust and was finally able to get him to lisa's but first order of business a bath
00:30then the team carefully checked him all over just to make sure that they knew exactly what he needed
00:38he was still pretty shy but i think he knew that everyone there was just trying to help him out
00:44i am of the belief that every dog needs training so i put him with my friend daniel who is
00:51a trainer
00:52and he spent about three weeks with him working on confidence building and discovering what it felt
00:58like to be safe up until then he didn't even know how to play with toys
01:04did you get your new alligator is that your first toy ever
01:10maybe huh oh my gosh what a babe
01:16but just two weeks later he finally started playing and i think it's just the sweetest sign
01:22that he was beginning to heal
01:28i know that for a dog like marshall it probably seems like a small milestone to learn how to play
01:35but it actually is a huge sign that he felt safe enough to let his guard down
01:41and actually rescuers quickly discovered that marshall thrived around other dogs
01:54this dog comes alive when he is in the presence of another dog
02:06now he's looking for a forever home with another dog who can continue to show him that maybe the
02:12world isn't such a scary place after all that's how marshall is going to thrive if he has another
02:18what we call balanced doggy friend in the home
02:23he's such a love bug
02:24you're not bug
02:28you
