SPAYED/NEUTERED: No (neuter agreement applies)

🐶 MARTIN is currently at Foster with few other dovs abd that's what they say about him: " Martin has settled in really well and enjoys the company of other dogs as well as lots of human fuss. He is an absolute sweetheart. He is a typical puppy and is very playful. He has settled into our household routine taking things slowly so he has adjusted well and his confidence is building.
He is food/treat motivated so is responsive to training such as recall. He will bark when he meets someone new (human or dog) but quickly accepts them with reassurance from his humans. He will mouth our hands (as puppy’s do) but has been extremely gentle with us. His toilet training is 90% there.
Martin would suit a home with at least one another dog his size or larger so he can play and learn confidently from them. He’s healthy, happy and bouncy and has a beautiful coat. I would suggest an adult only home but I’m confident he would be fine with a dog savvy teenager. He’s been through a lot so needs a family that will show patience with him. Understandably he has some sensory issues coming from a war zone, eg jumps at unknown noises but once familiar with a sound he is fine. Anyone that can invest time and patience gradually introducing him to new environments will in return end up with a wonderful companion and family member 💖*
Rescue Story:
🐶 MARTIN’s story begins alongside his brother CHOCO, MARTIN was born to a stray mum struggling to survive in a place of constant chaos. Volunteers braved incredible dangers to save MARTIN and other abandoned animals, risking their own safety in a town under constant threat. The rescue was nothing short of miraculous, with volunteers shielding the pups from drones and shelling as they carried them to safety. MARTIN’s quiet resilience and gentle spirit are a testament to his will to survive and thrive despite his harsh beginnings.
🐶 MARTIN has made progress with his confidence on walks, though he still finds some situations overwhelming. “He wasn’t sure about stairs at first, but with patience and chicken, he now runs up and down confidently! He’s doing really well with traffic and has enjoyed calm walks in quiet parks. He’s cautious with new people but warms up quickly when given space and time.”
The Ideal Home for MARTIN:
🐶 MARTIN would thrive in a happy active, dog loving and patient household where his gentle nature is understood . A family with older children who understand his gentle nature would be ideal. His new family should be prepared to support his ongoing socialisation, helping him blossom into the loving, confident pup he’s meant to be.
🐶 MARTIN has already shown how much love he has to give. If you can offer him the understanding and care he deserves, he’ll repay you with endless loyalty and affection. Reach out to give MARTIN the home he’s been waiting for! 💙🐾🏠
Health Information:
🐶 MARTIN is fully healthy, has all core vaccines done, and is microchipped. He is not neutered due to his young age (neuter agreement applies). All dogs are C.Brucella tested before travel, and the test certificate from a licensed laboratory will be provided.
