Martha

Meet Martha!  She is a 10 month old black lab mix that came to CLR from a shelter in Mississippi.

Personality:  Martha is a sweet, gentle girl who is learning that the world isn’t such a scary place after all. She’s still a little unsure of her surroundings, but every day brings new progress, and watching her confidence grow is incredibly rewarding.

One thing Martha absolutely loves is going for walks! She’s also making great strides in becoming more comfortable with everyday noises, including cars. She’ll need a patient family who understands that building trust takes time and who will celebrate the little victories along the way.

One thing that stands out about Martha is her incredibly sweet nature. Even when she’s feeling scared or overwhelmed, she is very gentle and sweet. She’s all heart, even when the world feels a little overwhelming.

Martha is also a completely different dog when she has another dog around! Her confidence blossoms, her playful side comes out, and she seems to take comfort in having a canine friend to show her the ropes. A confident, playful dog in her forever home would make a world of difference for her. She loves toys and enjoys having fun, although she’ll need some appropriate outlets and enrichment to keep her busy since she can get a little mouthy with things when bored.

Martha is looking for a patient home.  A home with a confident canine companion, plenty of encouragement, and people willing to give her the time she needs to feel safe.
