Marty

--> Marty is a scruff ball of cuteness. He's one of a litter of four. Born around Late October 2013 (estimated around the 25th). He was bottle fed by various foster parents from only about 10 days old since his mother is thought to have been hit by a car. He has been in foster care since ~ please consider this little boy to be part of your family! Anyone interested in fostering/adopting Marty will need to fill out an application first.

Marty has found a family in Canada!!!!! We now just need to get him there... and hopefully sooner than later as his foster mom is moving to a place they don't really allow dogs this August!!! If you know of someone flying on an airline with no heat embargoes PLEASE contact us so this little guy can be transported - all expenses covered!!!!

Waiting patiently... very patiently for his forever family to notice him and take him home!
This guy is literally a perfect furry friend. Yes, he is a little timid at first, and has been known to bark at strangers once in a while, or shy away from new people... but can you blame him? 5 homes in only 7months of his short life. He must be kinda confused. Loyalty should be his second name because if you see how trusting and loving he is to his foster parents you would have no doubt that Marty is a quality, life-long companion. He is a medium size, good-looking dog, with a beautiful clean white coat and spunky little character.
His foster mum is very proud of how nicely he waits for his food, and only eats when he gets the go-ahead, and how he can play fetch for hours... when you get tired (which is bound to happen) he will throw his toy for himself. Marty LOVES the outdoors!!! He would love a yard and long walks... come on forever family... Marty's ready to go home!

From Marty's foster mom ---- Marty, can't seem to catch a break even though he is a great little dog. He has been in several different foster homes since he was born (last October), yet he's still waiting patiently (with a smile on his face and a scruffy "beard") for his forever home. He can't get enough of the outdoors, so I would love for him to have a backyard to romp around and play in.

From Marty's foster mum: Sweet little Marty is still waiting for his forever home! He's done with all his vaccinations now and has really been enjoying exploring at the park. When he was first introduced to his new leash, he was very scared. Now whenever he sees his leash he gets super excited because he knows he gets to go for a walk! Marty listens very well. As expected, he loves playing fetch outside with lots of space to run. He's also very curious of everything outside, especially all the birds! Everyone he meets loves him and at first he is very timid toward strangers, he won't easily come up to you, but he is slowly becoming less shy and is fiercely loyal toward his foster mom and dad, so once you gain his trust he will love and protect you forever. At home, he is constantly playing with his toys and asking for his toys to be thrown to him. He will only bark when there is a noise outside and his parents are home, so he is a very good guard dog!

This puppy is too much cute! he has this adorable fuzzy halo of hair and a scruffy little beard with looong legs - little assets that add so much character to his appearance.
His foster mom was having some trouble with separation anxiety but for the past month Marty has been doing SO much better. He even waits patiently for a signal before he is allowed to start eating his food. His new milestone is losing all his baby puppy teeth - so far his mommy has found 5 of them in and around the apartment. Marty continues to be a great mix of a lap-dog and a play mate... and we are pretty sure he is just dying to be able to run around outside and play fetch with his beloved ball, he will be able to safely go out after 1 more (final) round of shots.

From Marty's foster mommy:
Little scruffy-faced Marty is still waiting for his forever home. He received a clean bill of health at a recent vet appointment and has begun vaccinations. He now weighs in at 6.8kg (15pounds). He's quite a mama's boy and loves to give lots of cuddles. He tends to be shy when meeting new people, so the fastest way into his heart is by throwing his ball to him. His new favorite activity is to walk his foster dad to the elevator every morning and then run as fast as he can back to the apartment. He continues to do a great job pottying on his puppy pads and sitting when asked. Marty is ready to give all his love to his forever family!!

From Marty's current foster mom: "Marty is just the right mix of playful, energetic puppy and sweet, cuddly, lap dog. His favorite activities include playing fetch with his beloved ball and going around and around in circles chasing his own tail! When he finally tires himself out, Marty loves nothing more than to cuddle on the couch. Whether he is curled up on your lap or letting you cuddle him like a teddy bear, Marty will fall asleep and be content in your presence. Marty has been learning to potty in the house on pads, which is going pretty well. He almost always does his business on the pads, although sometimes his aim will be slightly off (I’m sure other guys can relate?!). Marty has also been working on the commands “sit” and “stay.” Three-week old Marty hated to see his siblings being bottle-fed first... Similarly, three-month old Marty loves to eat and gets very excited when it is time to do so. He shows his patience though by “sitting” and “staying” until he is told he can eat. What a guy! Marty will undoubtedly bring lots of happiness and love to his forever home."

Marty is a big baby! So full of life and he likes to stick with what he knows. As a bit of a shy pup, Marty is cautious, and requires that you prove yourself to a be a real friend before he completely warms up to you...d'awww!

Marty had a bit of a bout with worms, but is currently being treated and doing just fine!

His foster mom describes him as a big sweetheart, so loving, and clever. He isn't technically house-trained yet, but he almost always pees on his pee pads when inside his pen, and will typically pee in the bathroom when he's outside of it :D

January 1, 2014:
Marty's foster mom is so taken with him! She said he's very playful and does well at peeing on the pee pad, for the most part. In regards to Marty and his sister, Donna, their foster mom said, "They are both very loving, and especially when I get home are very excited to greet me with lots of love and kisses. They both love to play, especially with each other and run around. Then they get tired and like to nap together. They love chewing on things, especially paper things..."

December 21:
Marty (along with his sister Donna) moved into his new foster home this weekend! His new foster mum is caring for the little darlings and said they are settling in well!

December 16:
Marty had a few skin irritations and went to the vet. After his visit, he got his very first bath! With that, and some oral meds, his skin is now healing well. The scabs have dried and come off, but not without taking a few hairs with it :p It's already growing back though ^^

November 30:
Marty will be due for his first round of general vaccinations when he is 8 weeks old (currently 5 weeks), and can be fostered/adopted separately from his siblings. His little paw scabs (one on front and back) are being treated with a topical ointment. Nothing to worry about, these kinds of skin irritations are common among puppies.

From the pups' (current) absolutely wonderful foster mom -- "Marty is very loving, and when the others are sleeping he will come waddling out and crawl into my lap instead of staying with his siblings. He also seems the most fearless."

If Marty could talk, I'm sure he'd be a self-proclaimed Mama's Boy. He's the first to whimper for attention and beg for some lovin'. Being the biggest and only boy, he loves to eat. He just can't handle it if you feed his sisters first, it drives him crazy! It is so cute! Marty and the other pups only get breakfast and dinner from the bottle. During the day, they eat and drink on their own, and have recently been taking to a few pellets in their milk. With no hesitation! They are doing really well with knowing when to go to the pee pad, even if they're outside their pen boppin' around.

November 23:
Marty, along with his sisters, visited the vet today, and he was impressed with how healthy they all are given their circumstances (born to a mother who was a stray). The vet tested a stool sample from one of the pups which was negative for worms and parasites. In approximately 3 weeks the pups will need to have their vaccinations.
