Marvel is a young cattle dog (known as a Red Heeler; he's most likely mixed with a bit of Corgi). He's house trained, potty trained & crate trained (9 hrs on work days).

Marvel is adored in his foster home, & has so many wonderful qualities:

He loves kids (maybe too much!)- he likes to keep them all together, so he can watch over them (he is a herding breeds) older kids are probably more appropriate. Marvel is good with cats; he sleeps nose-to-nose, most nights, with one of the 3 cats, He displays good cat etiquette (he doesn't chase or herd them). He is also good with dogs. Currently, he lives with 2 large dogs.

Marvel is extremely affectionate & bonds quickly with his family. He alerts his family if there is somebody near his home.

The sky is the limit when it comes to training Marvel. He is treat & affection motivated. Ask him, & he will gladly do, as he only wants to please. . He's proficient in basic obedience: "sit" "down" "stay" "shake" & "leave it"  Marvel walks great on a leash & is learning not to bark at other dogs on his walks.  

Marvel's exercise routine consists of: aerobic energy via running & playing with the resident dog (in a fenced yard) playing fetch & walking a mile most days. Marvel would also make a great running partner. In a home as an only dog, without runners, he could play fetch in lieu of the aerobic exercise he currently gets.

Marvel can get a bit jealous when it comes to his people interacting with the other pets in the home. When he is told to "leave it," he does. He has good impulse control. His future family just needs to anticipate jealousy, to keep him in line. Ideally, Marvel would love to be in a home where he is the center of attention, when it comes to affection; but he's always lived with other dogs & cats.
