Martha - in Maine!

Most recent update: December 2019

 

Martha is a beautiful pitbull mix who was adopted from our rescue in 2017 but was returned so she could find a home without young children or other pets. She is 4 years old and 47 lbs and is having a blast in her foster home. She is responsive and smart and loves her humans! 

 

 Her foster dad wrote a special poem about this sweet girl!

    Martha’s been our foster pup for a few months now

    And within these few lines we will tell you how

    This pit bull mix in our lives she has grown

    She walked into our house and made it her own

    When Martha's in play mode all else fades away

    Whether tugs on a rope or a kong chase today

    Intense and excited, with growls of pure joy

    There’s nothing that comes between her and her toy.

    Upon meeting new people, she soon makes it known

    All she wants is their touch or a ball to be thrown

    So jazzed is this dog, she gives licks and a kiss

    Some think she’s aggressive, but we think that’s amiss

    Martha’s demeanor is of wonder and thrill

    So happy to be here, It’s hard to sit still

    But we havent found in the time she’s been here

    Man, woman or child with complaint volunteered.

    An issue we’ve worked on, with varied success

    Is her meeting with dogs without hints of distress

    Though headways been made, more work here’s to do

    Each day brings us a new chance, and so it will you.

    Encounters with cats are a ton less dramatic

    Though we’d like to keep these engagements sporadic

    If a cat and this pup could by chance share an abode?

    No’s not our answer, but your roll should be slowed.

    Martha rides in the car like a tournament pro

    Everyday she is ready to jump in and go

    She sleeps by our bed, the whole night and then more

    She’s ready to take on her world and explore.

    This dog is not flawless, though none of us are

    You’re a measure of beauty as well as your scars

    There’s a home for this dog, we’ll love her til then

    We’re sure that’s a matter of not if, but when.

If you have interest in meeting Martha or any of our cuties, please fill out the adoption application. 

 

Please note: we do not have a physical facility where the dogs are housed; they are cared for in our wonderful foster network throughout New England. It is our expectation that, once approved, a potential family will meet the dog(s) in the foster setting where they are feeling safe and loved.
