In the shelter’s words

Marty Jane, a sweet Yorkie may be a senior, but don’t tell him that—he still has plenty of pep in his step! Marty is a happy, loving little guy who greets his favorite people with the biggest smile, excited bounces, and a tail that never seems to stop wagging. After a rough start in life, he’s more than ready to enjoy the comfort and love of a family who will cherish him. Marty’s favorite things are wonderfully simple: long walks, tasty treats, and snuggling up on the couch with his people. He’s always eager for an adventure and gets so excited when it’s time for a walk that he can hardly contain himself while you put on his harness! Once the excitement settles, he’s doing great with his leash manners and enjoys taking in the sights and smells. At home, he’s the perfect cuddle buddy, happily snoozing beside you with the sweetest little snores. Marty does require a fenced yard, as he has a strong desire to explore. Caution should be taken around main doors to the outside as he has jumped on opportunities to take himself for a leisurely stroll if doors are unattended. Young kids who may leave doors open would not be a fit due to this. This affectionate boy loves attention from the people he trusts and will quickly become your loyal shadow. While he prefers a calmer home and isn’t a fan of lots of loud commotion, Marty has a cheerful, easygoing personality that shines through every day. He’s also incredibly food motivated, making treats a great way to continue building his confidence and teaching him new things. If you’re looking for a devoted companion who will happily join you for a stroll, curl up beside you for movie night, and greet you every day with a smile, Marty is ready to spend his golden years loving you with his whole heart. Please note that some of our dogs are obtained from shelters, surrendered to our care, or released from breeders. Each animal's bio is based on our experience of the animal within our care, an educated guess based on physical characteristics, temperament and information shared. Each dog receives basic grooming when coming into rescue, but for some dogs they have not received grooming attention until recently and grooming may be required shortly after adoption. This will be at the adopter’s expense, so we encourage you to research the breed and be prepared for grooming expenses. Underdog cannot guarantee hypoallergenic or non-shedding qualities of any dogs in our rescue. Some of the animals come from situations where they are lacking experience in a home and confidence in humans. In turn, they require another companion dog and/or a fenced in yard in their forever home in order for them to feel safe. If you are interested in a particular dog whose bio states those needs and do not currently have them, please understand that your home might not be the right fit. Please use the filter on our Adoptable Dogs page to find the perfect match for your home. ***Be sure to check your spam/junk folder as sometimes our emails end up there***
