About Martha Madison

Martha, better known as Martha Mae, is a 6-year-old German Shepherd mix with a heart as big as they come. Her past wasn’t easy—she spent weeks alone in a home before rescue, unsure and scared—but since then, she’s soaked up every ounce of love and stability her foster can offer. Potty trained and crate trained, Martha has no trouble being left out in the house unsupervised. She’s equal parts playful and snuggly: one minute she’s romping around with her foster brothers or playing a spirited game of tug of war, the next she’s glued to your side, making you feel like you’re the center of her universe. Martha shines in a family setting—she’s kid- and dog-friendly, gentle and attentive around children and new people. She has a sweet, nurturing streak, like when she watched over an 18-month-old at an adoption event. Martha thrives best with someone who appreciates both her goofy energy and her “couch potato” side. She’s looking for her special person who wants a loyal, loving companion. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
