Marty

Marty was picked up one evening in Lorenzo, Texas and taken to the local pound after being found chained up in a backyard where he was not being cared for. I'm sure he lived his whole life that way. Marty was scared to death at the pound. He wouldn't eat, take treats or even look at anyone who entered his kennel. When someone entered he went to the back and cowered in fear or ran from them. One of our volunteers worked with him for weeks at the pound until he gained her trust. He finally began to let other people pet him and would even take treats from them. Marty is still a little skittish of people but would love a family of his own who will treat him right. Marty is a sweet boy but he is still a little skittish. He has been around other female dogs and done well with them but doesn't like male dogs. Since he lived his life outside he is not crate trained or house trained. He does walk on a leash but will pull sometimes. Not sure of any food aggression because he hasn't eaten around other dogs that I know of. He has done well on car rides though and I would say his energy level to be medium.
