Here's what the humans have to say about me:
If you are looking for a small dog with a BIG heart, Martha is one of the loveliest dogs you will ever meet! A gentle, grateful spirit…found after surviving the elements on her own, she’s ready to live her best life.
Martha is one of those dogs that is simply easy to love. Calm, quiet, affectionate…she represents everything beautiful that older dogs have to offer. She enjoys leisurely walks around the neighborhood or trips to the local park and watching for squirrels in the trees from the porch. She is learning what it’s like to be inside, warm and snuggled up on the couch. Truth be told, it’s her favorite place to be! She does well on car rides, has an adorable playfulness that lights up the room and she’s has quickly won the hearts of everyone she’s met. The perfect balanced energy level in our opinion.
We think her ideal home would be fairly quiet and where someone is home to spend time with her during the day. She is house-trained and would do best with breaks to go outside every few hours. Possibly someone who is retired or works from home and would like to have some company or a dedicated lap warmer. She’s an easy dog by all accounts, she curls up next to you while you read or watch TV and she’s an expert at finding the sunny spot in any room. She would be great for anyone looking at a smaller dog, who isn't "yippy or snippy" like some little dogs can be. Given her size, she would be well-suited for an apartment or townhome or even for an RV couple. Martha greets everyone with a little tail wag and a smile, she’s just a LOVE!
We feel like she may be happiest as either an only dog or possibly living with other quiet, laid back dogs. She savors cuddle time and one-on-one attention – after being on her own for a while, it’s understandable. Martha currently lives with one playful kitty now and enjoys his goofy antics.
She has also spent a good deal of time with dog-savvy young children and has done incredibly well (she doesn’t jump, bark or seem overly nervous despite their energy levels).
Martha is available for adoption or for a foster-to-adopt family now. We are located in Lillington, NC and adopt within a 1.5 hour driving distance. If you think Martha may be a good fit for you, please email us or submit an application below and we’ll be in touch shortly.
