This adorable little guy, Marty, has just arrived into Rescue! He is cute as can be and is currently in a foster home with children, 2 cats and dogs.

He lost his home through no fault of his own, when Marty's owners lost their home to foreclosure.

Marty is a heeler/terrier mix that is 9 pounds of tank.   He is cuddly and cute,  and super playful.  Every night he gets the 'zips' around the living room and dares the other dogs in the house to catch him.  Although he is small,  he can hold his own with dogs big and small,  and has met the mean cat of the house and backs right down.    

At night he loves to crawl under the covers with his best friend,  the 17 year old boy at the house.   He sleeps all night long without accidents.   His recall when he is outside is excellent.  He responds well to being told to get in the house,  leave it, sit, and sometimes stay. 

He willingly will go in his crate when necessary,  and is very quiet when crated.  Marty enjoys being part of the family,  he wants to be in the middle of everything.  His favorite thing is to cuddle up on your lap and watch TV.  This is a low maintenance dog as far as grooming goes.  He just wants his belly rubs and loving.  He does walk well on a leash,  and enjoys his walks and individual time.

Every night the teenager in the household plays computer games and Marty jumps up on the chair and wraps around his back as a nice warm back rest.  He also loves to cuddle under the covers at night..He does not move an inch at night and sleeps all through the night.  His other favorite activity is to steal the socks in the foster home and run around with them..He does not chew them, just takes them around the house and hides them.

He is the most affectionate dog..

He eats with all the other dogs,  and is happy to share his food with his dog companions or human ones.  He is such a joy and easy dog to have around.

He is waiting to meet his new canine and human companions, and find his forever home.   He is a young dog with many years.
