Marvin

Mixed Breed · Female

Marvin is a wonderfully affectionate and gentle dog who loves being close to the people he trusts. He enjoys nestling beside you on the sofa, soaking up fuss and looking to his favourite people for reassurance. He has a lovely playful side too, enjoying soft toys and appropriate chews, and he particularly loves being groomed. Marvin can be a little unsure of new things and will need time, patience and a calm environment to build his confidence, but once he feels comfortable, his affectionate and puppyish personality really shines through. He would thrive with someone who can give him plenty of reassurance while helping him gradually develop his independence and confidence. Marvin enjoys the company of other dogs and can live with a well-matched, friendly and tolerant canine companion, with a preference for female dogs. He will benefit from quieter walks while he continues to gain confidence, and his new family should be prepared to support him with his reactions to other dogs and his strong interest in things that catch his attention. He is looking for an adopter who can offer him a peaceful, understanding home and take introductions and new experiences at his pace. With the right person by his side, Marvin has every opportunity to become a wonderfully loving and rewarding companion. Ready to adopt? Donate Can't adopt? Please donate to help pets in need today.

About Marvin

What life with Marvin looks like

Marvin is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Bath Cats and Dogs Home in United Kingdom.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Marvin, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Marvin?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Bath Cats and Dogs Home handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Marvin on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Marvin if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Bath Cats and Dogs Home will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Marvin already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Marvin isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Bath Cats and Dogs Home early rather than rehoming privately; they know Marvin and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
