TO BE KILLED 1/14/20 Please tx Kat 516 4573678 ** Very friendly **Blue Eyes, very gentle Martha Wants To Be Everyone's Friend! Needs TLC! LEVEL 1 behavior! She's such a doll. MARTHA has a name that suits her. She's down to earth, she's easy going, she loves to give paw and she loves to give kisses. She's curious about everything around her and eager to make new friends. She's that cup of hot cocoa on a cold winter's nice, warm and sweet. This wiggly, petite little girl would love a family of her own who would cherish her and hold her close. She could use a few extra meals to fill our her thin frame, and she also needs TLC and vetting for a mass that needs attention. But the lucky family who agrees to foster or adopt her will be showered with her love and loyalty, and the rescue that pulls her for a foster would pay her vetting too! All you need to add is your love and support. Don't let this charming lady languish. Hurry and foster or adopt her now and make her (and your!) life complete. She's waiting with hope at the Staten Island Center. Message our page or email us for assistance now! A staff member writes: Martha is one of the sweetest and happy girls! She loves attention and being taken for walks by staff and volunteers but hasn't had luck finding her new home due to some medical issues that will need follow up medical care.
