Martin is my formal name but my friends call me Marty. I was found at a freeway exit in South Carolina; not too nice of way to treat an old friend. I am probably 8-10 years old and weigh about 15-16 pounds. I have finished with heartworm treatment and I am ready to go to a new home. I have a bit of a back issue that causes me some slight mobility issues. I get around fine, just walk a little stiff until I get going. I am taking some great joint supplements that have helped a lot and now I even run a little. But even with this issue - I still let my foster mom know when I need to go out to potty, I make little funny noises like I am really trying to talk. I don't need a lot of exercise, but I do enjoy playing a bit, just slow, easy play and do enjoy a nice stroll. I can be a bit grumpy with other dogs and with cats, but do fine with non-dominant dogs. Since I'm not the quickest on my feet I really can't do much to the cats, other than grump at them. Foster-mommy says I am a pretty "easy keeper". I love my bed and I like a blanket over me when I sleep. I don't jump on the furniture and I don't jump on people. Every once in while I need a little rub on the face and then I'm good to go. I will follow you around - but I don't need constant physical attention. I am very content with a soft bed, a blanket, a good meal, good snacks, and a trip outside every so often. I really don't think I would do well with kids (no offense kids). Here are a few
pics and a
video to help you decide. I look a little grey in the face, but that is what we call wisdom. So in summary - I am and bit older of a gentleman who would make a great companion if you're looking for a Low Maintenance Pal. If this is what you want in a dog please fill out an application, and make sure to include my name: Martin!
