Martimus is a gorgeous Great Pyrenees mix with the light gold coat and irresistible teddy bear face of a Golden Retriever. This sweet boy came to us after he and his brother were found tied up outside of a Tennessee animal shelter overnight, and discovered by the shelter staff in the morning. But you’d never know his people abandoned him because he has such a sunny, loving disposition! Martimus is fully housebroken, leash trained, and crate trained. His activity level is beautifully balanced - he's a champion lounger who treasures his cozy dog bed, but he'll happily burst into playful energy throughout the day, tossing squeaky toys, bouncing balls, and going to town on a water buffalo horn. Think of him as your casual scenic trail companion, not your marathon partner. People are his absolute favorite thing in the world. Whether it's adults, kids, or a whole herd of 12-year-olds at soccer practice, Martimus greets everyone with slow, gentle curiosity and an unspoken request for booty scratches. He's wonderfully sensitive with children, even self-regulating on the leash when little ones take the reins. On the dog front, Martimus thrives with canine companions and would love a doggie playmate or two in his forever home. He's easygoing, non-confrontational, and loves a good romp. He'll need a 5-foot fence for safe outside play sessions. Martimus would flourish with a family who has at least one other dog, kids to watch over, and plenty of affection to give. In return, he offers soulful eye contact, a smile that lights up any room, and a loving bond that will touch your heart for years to come. Could you be his forever family?
