I'm the founder of Hands to Paws rescue in Augusta, Georgia and we rescued Marty, along with Mickey, his girlfriend, also listed on rescue me, and their son Simon, who was recently adopted, from a hoarding situation in Blythe, Georgia in March, 2016. His rescuer had good intentions but kept them outside in tiny kennels in the sand, with just a cheap doghouse and a portion of a tarp for protection from the elements. They were covered in fleas, unsocialized, and lonely, and very isolated. The only interaction was with their rescuer. It was heartbreaking to see them suffering, afraid of thunderstorms, loud noises with nobody to protect them. We saw Marty's potential and how loving and special he was and knew that once he was out of that environment he would flourish and become the dog he was meant to be and we were right. It's been a long road for him - his son Simon was recently adopted into a wonderful home and we thought that Marty and Mickey finally found their permanent soft place to fall as well, but it just wasn't meant to be. They were adopted together by a family several weeks ago but they are now splitting up and unable to give them a home after-all. So Marty, along with Mickey, are currently in boarding in Augusta, Georgia and getting great care and everyone loves them there, but we would love nothing more than for them to find a loving home! In a perfect world they would be adopted together because they are bonded but we know that may not happen, so they can also be adopted separately. Marty has a lot of personality - he's playful, affectionate, loving, and has a way of looking at you with his soulful eyes that will melt your heart. We were heartbroken when we heard that this family couldn't keep him and Mickey, but we will never give up on finding them a loving home! Look at that face - what's not to love - he's looking for his special person or family - could it be you?
