About Martin

Martin is a charming young fellow and Marney's brother. He was rescued after being dumped at a shelter with a broken leg but has since healed remarkably well. Though he walks a bit differently on one back leg, the vets are not worried. At just 1 year old and weighing 30 lbs, he is a bundle of affection, quickly winning the hearts of everyone he meets. Martin is friendly with all dogs, and we can easily do a cat test to see how he behaves around them, too. Beneath his cute exterior, Martin is full of playful energy and is a great family dog in need of a loving home. Visiting in person is a must—he’ll undoubtedly steal your heart! This lovely pup is currently being fostered in PA. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
