Meet Martha: The Great Escape Artist (With a Heart of Gold)Martha came strolling into HCAS on September 11th, tail wagging and smile wide, like she was greeting old friends she hadnâ€ÂTMt met yet. This 9-year-old Redbone hound instantly won everyone over.Martha did have a large mass on her chest that was able to be removed without any complications. And after a brief medical hold, she came out tail-wagging on the other side, thrilled to hit the trails with our volunteers again.It didnâ€ÂTMt take long for this sweet, copper-colored gal to find her people. She went home to a family with kids and another dog, and she adored them all. So why is Miss Martha back at HCAS? Well… turns out, our girl has a bit of a Houdini streak. Despite having a fenced yard, she kept finding ways to stage daring escapes. Her family patched the fence again and again, but Martha is a master of “you think youâ€ÂTMve outsmarted me, hooman?” They loved her dearly but worried sheâ€ÂTMd get hurt on one of her adventures, and through tears, brought her back so she could find a home thatâ€ÂTMs better suited for her talents.Martha is everything youâ€ÂTMd want in a hound: friendly, affectionate, loyal, and a little too clever for her own good. She loves people, kids, and respectful dogs. We donâ€ÂTMt know how she feels about cats, but if they can climb, they might be safe.If youâ€ÂTMve got a solid fence, a good sense of humor, and maybe a comfy couch for post-adventure snuggles, Marthaâ€ÂTMs ready to make your life a whole lot happier—and maybe just a little more interesting.The Haywood County Animal Services Adoption Center is located at 453 Jones Cove Road, Clyde, NC 28721.
