This is Martin, an 8-year-old Chihuahua/Jack Russell Terrier mix with a bit of a grumpy old man vibe. Maybe he’s just a guy who knows what he likes and expects nothing less. When he’s tired, he puts himself to bed and when he sleeps he sleeps hard. It is best to wake him slowly. While he's still working on his potty training, Martin is a low-energy, easygoing guy who loves to cuddle and play in spurts. When he is happy or excited he does the cutest dance. He does well with other small dogs and adults, but seems to prefer the company of women. Martin needs some time and patience to adjust to a new home, but once he warms up, he's incredibly sweet.
Though he might be protective and reactive to strangers, Martin calms down quickly and is eager to please. He’s an escape artist, so he needs to be leashed even in a fenced yard. Martin enjoys car rides, toys, and can get vocal when excited, likely making him a better fit for a home without shared walls. Give Martin a few days, and you'll discover a loving, loyal, and sometimes protective companion.
Martin is from Texas.
If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application. An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract.

If you are unable to adopt but want to help this animal and others in our care, you can donate to support the medical and veterinary needs of all Ruff Start Rescue animals.
