Martha, my dear! Martha is a sweet, mild-mannered pup who can be summed up as a "very nice lady." She is a lovable doll from her luxurious neck rolls to her wiggly nubbin tail.
At around 5 years young, Martha has the mature spirit and manners of an adult but still enjoys getting in her daily activity - so she will be happy to join you as a snuggle buddy on the couch just as much as she'll be glad to help you get your steps in on walks. Martha is curious and likes to explore on walks. She is a gentle, lower-key gal though can be strong on leash at times. She can also entertain herself by playing with a toy for a while, before she's ready to chill out.
Martha seems like a mama dog who has evidently had a few litters in her life, but she's ready for her turn to be pampered, and she is probably missing the comforts of a home. Martha consistently keeps her kennel clean, so we believe she is housebroken. She also sits very well when asked, holding still as though she is a professional. She is overall a good listener, and loves her treats. With other dogs in play group, she was playful with a softer socialization style. She sometimes perks up around other dogs, and with her little tail stub wagging excitedly.
Martha tested positive for heartworm when she arrived at the kennel, but she doesn't want to let this stop her from living life to the fullest. Fortunately, heartworm is treatable and cost is covered thanks to Friends of CITY DOGS Cleveland. She'll just need a calm, loving home where she can rest and recover before getting back to normal dog life!
