Meet Marvin, The Playful Lab Ready For His Forever Home

Meet Marvin: The Energetic Cuddlebug

This one-year-old 78-pound black-and-white Labrador Retriever is ready for a new adventure.

And he's ready for adoption at the Tri-County Humane Society in St. Cloud.

Marvin was brought to the TCHS shelter a couple weeks ago. But in that short time, TCHS staff have some observations about this good boy.

Get To Know Marvin: Personality and Playtime

Marvin loves bacon-flavored treats. Don't we all? Also on that love list -- bones and stuffed toys.

Marvin loves playing with his people and prefers sleeping with them in bed. Awwww...

He's a strong boy and could use some basic training. Staff can help you with resources and tips.

Ideal Home for Marvin: Is Your Family the Right Fit?

Marvin has a lot of energy and CAN be a little rambunctious. He would do best in a home without cats.

He's a smart boy and already knows tricks like "sit" and "paw."

He's been trained to use a crate and does well.

And look at that face!
