Marty

Adoption Pending!

This is our special boy, Marty. We don't think he is a pure-bred German Shepherd, but he is one of the nicest guys you'd ever want to meet. Marty is very friendly to all, enjoys the company of other dogs and is even very nonchalant about the feline persuasion. He is around 1 1/2 years old, house-trained, rides great in the car and loves to take trips to the dog park. He is a good boy loose in the house while you are at work so he does not need to be crated. He was scheduled to be euthanized in an overcrowded shelter on Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday, so that is how he acquired his name. Marty has been one of the easiest dogs that I have ever had the pleasure of fostering. He does have one bad habit that we are working on - when he first greets you he will put your hand or forearm in his mouth (typical puppy mouthing). So, for that reason, no young kids for this sweet fellow. He is being fostered in Northern Virginia. SLVA Posted: 02/19/05.
