Meet Marty, a sweet cuddly loveable two-year old potato with a velvety coat and smoldering eyes that still have last nights mascara stuck on them- talk about a party animal. And the best smile!

He loves strolling on the leash, but don’t expect him to behave when other dogs show up- he turns into a whiny, obsessive fan. Luckily treats, especially cheese is helping him learn to prioritize his person, though. He’s clueless about basic commands, but slowing getting it. He is thrilled to meet new folks and gets jumpy in excitement, but listens when redirected and learning he can still get love on four legs. City sounds still freak him out, but he’s working on it. When he’s not with his people or fur friends, watch out, he turns into a total crybaby.

This loyal couch potato is all about watching the world go by, and showering affection on his favorite humans. But don’t think he’s perfect – Marty’s got selective hearing and a stubborn streak. This dude got radar ears and eagle eyes, nothing gets past him with every sound and movement setting off his super alert system. He’s an expert people-watcher and is always snooping around. He has harmonious coexistence with resident cat and dog and wanting to be playful with the resident dog who is old man and isn’t so much into playing. He is respecting his boundaries, but gets slightly jealous when they steal the spotlight.

Marty loves shredding toys for squeaky prizes and anything to chew on, sometimes it might be your slippers. Oh, and he’s a stare-down champion- wonder what’s cooking in that little head of his. Marty is a crate sleeping snoring champ, and his happy place especially with sound effects at night, since he doesn’t love the quiet so much. And when excited, Marty unleashes an otherworldly reverse sneeze.

Marty is a total gem and his energy is a perfect balance. He is an old soul who is young at heart. He plays independently and will chill behind a gate or right by your side. This guy needs a buddy or at least some playmates. He would love a home with another pup to keep him entertained and alleviate his loneliness. He is learning to live in a busy loud city neighborhood filled with pups and kids. He might love a quieter neighborhood so he doesn’t need to be on super alert at all times. He would fill any home with lots of love.
