Who's calling Marty a senior? We think he acts like a much younger pup! This silly boy has a lot of pep in his step and loves going for adventures. He doesn't let his vision impairments slow him down one bit! Not only is Marty super friendly with people, he loves to make doggie friends. If you're looking for an affectionate, active lovebug, Marty may just be the one for you!
Here's some notes from his foster:
Marty is housebroken. He figured out how to go out to the backyard and has relieved on his own if needed. Marty is a great walker. He walks with a lot of pep in his steps. He is able to see enough to enjoy marking bushes and fence posts. He sleeps most of the time when indoors and nothing exciting is happening. Marty is comfortable with everyone in our household.
He did not appear to like riding in the car in a seat by himself. He kept wanting to sit on my lap as I was driving. He has no problem in the car if held. He does not seem to notice other dogs most of the time on walks. He occasionally will sense a dog near by and will pull his leash towards the dog. I have never let him lead me to the dog to see what would happen. He is fine with redirection and continues walking.
Marty seems to be good with all humans. Marty loves to be held.. He loves getting scratches on his belly and chin. He does whimper for attention sometimes. He likes to be with his human or other doggy friend at night. A gentle pet and he will settle down and go to sleep.
Overall, I think he will make a great pet. He has a lot of life and spunk left in him. He deserves it and I wish that for him.
