About Martha

Martha was picked up as a stray by a dedicated supporter and has turned into the ultimate family companion. She’s lively and affectionate, with a signature grin that never fades. Martha welcomes both her fosters and newcomers with unfiltered joy and can’t get enough of people time. Kids are her favorite—she’s always up for play and thrives in a home with plenty of activity and laughter. Martha, however, is firm about being the only pet in the household. She’s not interested in sharing affection or attention with other cats or dogs, making her best suited as the solo pet in your life. She’s estimated to be around 4-5 years old, weighing close to 45 lbs. Martha is spayed, her vaccinations are all up to date (rabies, distemper, bordetella), she’s microchipped, and heartworm-negative. Her flea, tick, and heartworm preventatives are always current, so she’s ready for just about anything. If you’re searching for a people-loving, playful, and loyal family dog, Martha is ready to meet you. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
