Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi! I’m Martin, a 1-year-old German Shepherd mix. I’m living with my foster family and my 8-year-old mixed breed foster sister, and we get along great! This is what my Foster parents have to say about me:
I’d do well with other dogs in my future home. I think I’d thrive in a home with a family willing to train me. I’m smart and full of energy, so I need some guidance to be my best self. They also believe I’d do well with kids (late elementary/middle school age) who enjoy playing and running around, as I love outdoor fun and toys! I’m usually calm and quiet, but I get bursts of energy to play for about 10 minutes before napping. I love cozy spots on the couch or bed, and I enjoy some `me` time in my open kennel. I’m snuggly and love affection and attention! I’m working on not being mouthy and jumping, especially when I get excited to see people. My foster mom says I can jump like a spring, but we’re practicing calm greetings. I’m also learning to sit. I can be shy with newcomers, but a few treats help me warm up quickly. I’m mostly house-trained and just need regular outdoor trips to avoid accidents. I’ve had a few while adjusting, but never in my kennel. I LOVE food and am very treat motivated! I sleep quietly in my foster parents’ bedroom, in my kennel, all night. When kept in another room, I was too nervous but now I sleep peacefully until everyone wakes up. I’m sweet, loving, playful, and intelligent, and I would thrive in a home that offers training and playtime. I love my foster home, but I’d be even more excited to find my forever family!
Martin is currently in foster care outside of the shelter. If you are interested in learning more or meeting Martin, please complete an adoption survey using the link below (copy and paste link):
All dogs and cats will be spayed/neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations, preventative care, and microchipped.
