This handsome boy is Marty! He is searching for a loving home where he can continue to grow in confidence and thrive.  He can be timid and nervous when meeting new people and experiencing unfamiliar situations, but he is making great progress and becoming more confident every day.  He is still unsure around strangers, so he will need an understanding adopter who can give him the time, patience and reassurance he needs to build trust.  Once he gets to know you, his friendly affectionate nature shines through.  He absolutely loves attention, enjoys plenty of fuss and is a big fan of belly rubs.  He is an active and energetic dog who enjoys exercise and enrichment to keep both his mind and body occupied so will need an active home where he can get out and about on lots of adventures.  His new adopter should be prepared to continue his training and confidence-building work using positive reinforcement, patience and gently encouragement.  If you are looking for a loving, affectionate dog and are willing to help him continue his journey he could be the perfect dog for you. He would benefit from a private secure garden.

Marty has socialised well with other dogs whilst in our care so we feel he could potentially live with another dog of similar energy levels following a successful meet and greet.

As Marty came into the home as a stray we have no previous history on him so would prefer any children in the home to be 14+ years.

No cats for Marty.

If you have a holiday booked in the next 3 months please wait until you return to apply for a dog.

*Applications that are successful will be provided with further information on each dog to the best of the charity’s knowledge.
