Marvin is a 6-month-old Shepherd Mix in Eureka, CA, who needs $2,000 for Dental Extraction for Tooth Embedded in Nasal Cavity.

Marvin came into Sequoia Humane Society in September 2020 in a large group of puppies. All but Marvin have been adopted from that rambunctious group of pups, but not for a lack of sweetness. Marvin has stayed behind in the shelter for a little bit longer so that he can get treatment for a dental issue that would affect him (and possibly worsen as he grows) for the rest of his life.

Marvin is a friendly face for all that he comes into contact with! Even when you aren't directly crossing paths with Marvin, he makes sure you know he is there. His big paws and wet nose pop up over the fence and beg to be seen! We know that Marvin will make the perfect companion for the lucky human that adopts him!

Sequoia Humane Society is a non-profit, no kill shelter. We ensure all pets are healthy and cleared by our shelter veterinarian before entering their forever home. Getting Marvin the treatment he needs will mean getting started on the rest of his life in a real home.

Marvin's tooth is embedded in his nasal cavity, which causes some breathing difficulty. At only six months old, Marvin is still growing, so his problem may worsen as he gets older. If left untreated, Marvin's outcome possibilities could include cyst/abscess development at the site of the tooth, or the tooth may continue to be pushed even further into his nasal cavity as he grows into an adult dog.

Marvin is a goofy guy! He makes you laugh with his antics, and it feels like he is trying to get you to smile. It is amazing to watch the incredible dog that Marvin is becoming, and we can't wait to see what the future holds for him and his forever family. He is going to fit into life in a home just great!
