In the case of happy, huggable Marshall, that wait turned out to be more than a year.<\/p>\n<p>Crowned the \u201csnuggle king\u201d by our staff and volunteers, Marshall came to us with the boundless energy of a young dog who\u2019s full of smarts. The team quickly discovered his love of silly antics, chasing balls, and anything chewy. Throughout the year, Marshall enjoyed sleepovers at foster volunteers Gabe\u2019s and Rochelle\u2019s quiet home in Alameda County. In November, he celebrated his birthday at the shelter. He bounced with joy along with some of his favorite friends, played with toys, and enjoyed a tasty birthday treat (complete with a candle and \u201cHappy Birthday\u201d serenade).<\/p>\n<h2>The best birthday present ever<\/h2>\n<p>But Marshall\u2019s best birthday present was yet to come. After Gabe and Rochelle hosted the pup\u2019s seventh sleepover in their home, they realized this loving boy belonged in their family for good. \u201cHe\u2019s so happy, like\u2026all the time!\u201d said Rochelle.<\/p>\n<h2>Looking for your pet soulmate?<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re ready to welcome a furry friend into your heart, look no further than the SF SPCA.
