Marty
Marty is a friendly and affectionate boy who loves being around people and brings lots of energy and character with him. Marty is still learning about home life and is looking for an owner who can help guide him as he settles in.
He enjoys playtime, especially with soft toys, and likes to keep himself busy. Marty is always keen to say hello and is learning to be mor polite with his hellos - and doing really well. He’ll enjoy training to help him develop his manners and confidence.
Marty would suit an active home willing to provide structure, consistency and positive training. Marty will enjoy his own secure garden with quieter walking areas. With the right support, Marty has the potential to become a wonderful and rewarding companion.
