MARTHA* German Shepherd Dog Santa Cruz, CA

Meet the marvelous Martha! Martha came to the Shelter as an owner surrender after her previous guardian was unable to continue caring for her. Martha has been a gentle giant through the transition from her backyard to the Shelter. Martha previously lived with four small dogs and coexisted nicely. Martha is currently hanging out in a foster home. The foster parents report: Its going great Marthas been super easy to handle. She lives for pets. Shes met kids and other dogs and has been a total sweetheart with everyone. She seems to be slowly getting livelier. Martha has been low to medium energy. She enjoys sniffaris (slow walks where she can explore the world) and doesnt necessarily need to run marathons every day with her adopter. Daily walks will be crucial to helping Martha lose weight as she is a bit of a bigger girl than she should be (100lbs!). A home with other dogs may be a fit provided they meet at the Shelter prior to adoption. We do not have any history of Martha with cats. If youre looking for a gentle giant, come to the Shelter to set up a meet and greet with Martha today!
