About Martine

Meet Martine! This handsome boy, possibly a Shiba Inu mix, weighs about 25 pounds. He came to us as an owner surrender after a tough past and is still quite shy with new people, not yet comfortable with cuddling. Thankfully, one of our volunteer's daughters has found the way to his heart. With the right patient person who can help him feel secure, he could develop a strong bond. Martine enjoys meeting and playing with other dogs, so he needs a home with at least one other canine companion. Unfortunately, he is not suited for a home with children. A foster home would also be a great option for him. Martine is neutered, fully vaccinated, and microchipped. Ready to welcome a sweet, shy dog into your life? Let's make it official, apply to adopt!
