About Martin

Martin lives in Buffalo, MN and he brings old-soul eyes, a rich red coat, and a distinct white tip on his tail wherever he goes. Folks call him "Mardy," and he carries that easy-going energy right into your living room. Martin is best described as the good boy you want on your couch and at your side—polite, sturdy, and ready to join in on whatever you’re up to. He does best with older kids (10 and up) who understand that a dog likes his boundaries. Martin gets along with smaller dogs and, with a calm introduction, he can fit in with chill big dogs as well. Not much interest in cats, but a little supervision won’t hurt there. He’s house trained, quiet, non-destructive, and knows his basics—treats definitely work in your favor if you want him to learn more. Martin enjoys fetch (with his own twist, often turning it into keep-away), rope tugs, and long walks. Those leash skills are dialed in. You’ll find that it’s tough not to fall for him within minutes. He’s after simple joys—yard time, strolls through the neighborhood, or just a spot on the couch next to you. If you want a fun-loving, loyal friend, Martin is ready. Ready to fall in love?
