Martin, Staffiex, DOB 06 09 - Farnham, Surrey



Homing Requirements: Martin needs a family geared to a young emotional and super friendly dog. A Staffie who still needs to learn to tame his own energies and calm his gusto for life which as he matures will flow. Martin could live with children, but has no experience of living with very young children. Martin would enjoy the company of another dog who was accomplished. Martin does need 6 foot panel fencing and beware … he can manage door levers!

His Story: A familar story of 2 litter brothers well trained and deeply loved, but began to squabble as they reached maturity. Neither at fault and probably both could settle with another dog, but same age, energy levels and emerging dominance of litter mates, meant Martin lost his home. Martin is chipped and neutered. He is due his booster vax.

Advert: Martin is a fine dog who has been loved and well socialised in his first year. He mixes with other dogs inside his house, others houses and outside. Martin is retained on a lead when there are others around as he still meets with gusto and enthusiasm. Martin is just at that age where his energy begins to settle a little and become more under his conscious control.

Martin is quite a small Staffie Well proportioned and healthy. He has a lovely Staffie head and a soft, soft coat. He knows basic commands and is well mannered. He can be a little mouthy still. Martin is ever conscious of his pack's whereabout, but does settle and can be left for short periods. Martin isn't barky and can get a little frightened by thunder etc.; a bit of a scardy 'cat'! Adores his walks and despite the recent upheaval has adapted well to change, but can't wait to find his new family and to 'polish-off' his skills and fulfill his promise.

"Please note this dog is currently in boarding kennels and is also available for foster until a 'forever' home is found".

An update from Claire, on of our volunteers who walked Martin today:

"Martin is one adorable dog , a big baby! He walked with Marie today and was perfect (ok,,,he's a little clumsy n bumped into Marie once or twice but she just gave him a 'sheesh men!! look ). He was very respectful of Marie and tended to follow her lead.

Martin pulled for about two mins at the beginning of his walk, once he had settled i switched him to a long line which he had no problems with.





At treat time i thought i could take some nice 'posed' photos however the dear dogs had other ideas and no one wanted to sit and stay at the same time!!





and who could resist this spotty belly!!


Again, Martin did not want to go back in his kennel - telling us loud and clear 'I want a famileeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee'!

Lovely walk, lovely dogs . where are the lovely families"!
