Martha

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. <br/><br/>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. <br/><br/>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. <br/><br/>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! <br/><br/>Martha weighs 59 lbs.

You must schedule a meet with a dog in advance - we are not currently accepting walk-ins. Please look online first to see if there are any dogs you think would be a good fit for your home before scheduling a meet. To get the process started, visit www.tinyurl.com/meetacitydog and fill out the form. One of our adoption counselors will get in touch to schedule and confirm your meet! At the kennel, an adoption counselor will introduce you and your family to the adoptable dogs, share information we know about them, and discuss our suggested ways for successfully integrating a new dog into your home. You are welcome to meet multiple dogs. If the dog you adopt is already fixed, he or she may leave with you that day - otherwise, the dog can go home after receiving the spay or neuter surgery.)<br/><br/>About Our Dogs: All available dogs have gone through a behavioral and medical assessment. This assessment is a snapshot of who the dog is at that given time. We cannot make any guarantees with regard to behavior, temperament or health of any City Dog once they are in the home. Most of our dogs are picked up as strays, so we do not know what kind of home environment they were living in (i.e. with kids, other dogs or other cats), nor do we know if most of them are house trained. Everything we know about them is based on volunteer and staff observations. We do have some dogs in foster homes, where they will have more information about how the dog is in a home environment. It is very hard to tell with certainty whether or not a dog will be good with kids, cats or another dog. If you have kids in the home or another dog, we do require that they be present for a meet and greet with the dog you are considering for adoption.<br/><br/>Heath/Vaccinations: Dogs that are adopted directly from the kennel need to go to your personal vet within two weeks of leaving the kennel. All dogs receive their DAPPL, Rabies, and Bordatella vaccines, though you may be required to get follow up boosters. All dogs come microchipped and with a Cuyahoga County license.
