About Marti

Marti is a delightful senior Chihuahua mix looking for her forever home. Don't let her small size fool you—this little lady has a big personality and an abundance of energy that shines through. Her ears are one of her most charming features, almost larger than she is! Marti enjoys the company of bigger dogs but isn't a fan of cats, having spent her foster time energetically chasing them. A home without feline friends would be best for her. She loves short walks and a cozy, fenced yard where she can explore. Bath time is one of her favorites, especially when followed by a leisurely towel rub on your lap. Marti is great in the car and can settle down comfortably in a crate at night, or she’d love to cuddle beside you too. She is mostly potty trained with a good schedule, so she'll wait to be picked up in the morning to go outside. If you're seeking a small companion with a big heart, come meet Marti!
