Meet Marty
Meet Marty, a one-year-old collie mix who's not just your average backyard ball chaser. Weighing in at 42 pounds of pure playful energy, Marty is the king of high jumps and enthusiastic greetings. This dashing dude has mastered the fine art of fetch—though he’s still negotiating the terms of return—and has an undeniable charm that makes him a hit with both two-legged and four-legged friends.
Marty’s got a sweet spot for adventure and would thrive in a home where his energies can be channeled positively. With a love for expansive spaces, he’s the ideal companion for anyone with a large yard or access to wide-open areas where he can stretch his legs and indulge his curiosity. Watch your socks, though! Marty’s still learning that these are not included in his chew toy collection.
A bit of a Houdini, Marty has been known to jump a 5-foot fence when ducks tease him from the other side. But don’t worry, he doesn’t wander far and has no interest in disrupting our feathered friends—just joining in on their pond-side games. To keep him safe and secure, a home with a taller fence or ample supervision would be ideal.
When it comes to cohabitating, Marty is a dream. He’s completely comfortable with handling, loves to lay close to his humans or canine pals, and is fully potty and crate trained—just hold the blankets in the crate, as he tends to turn them into a personal DIY project.
While he's friendly and quick to warm up to new people, Marty thrives in a structured environment where boundaries are clear, and consistency is key. He responds brilliantly to positive reinforcement, making him a joy to train for those who appreciate cleverness and spirit.
Marty’s perfect match would be someone who leads an active, outdoor-centric lifestyle or someone looking for a loyal work companion to share in daily duties and adventures. He's adaptable to various home environments but would truly shine in a setting that allows him room to roam and explore under watchful eyes.
If you’re ready to add a dash of vigor and a splash of fun to your life, Marty is waiting to leap into your arms and heart. He promises endless affection, loyal companionship, and a lifetime of playful escapades. Ready to play fetch with your new best friend? Marty’s your guy!
