Owner Info: Martha is a gorgeous and loving girl whose owners are unable to keep her. They write, "Due to a break up and severe financial difficulties we have to move asap." Another rescue did come to meet Martha, but she is scared of new people and "didn't give the best impression". They saved Martha from a breeder who wanted to put her down. They have had Martha since she was 8 weeks old. She is an indoor dog who is crated, she is housebroken and leash trained. Martha is good with both male and female dogs but can be nervous and shy around people. Her owners write, "She is scared of new people and mostly ignores them, but if someone comes up behind her she gets scared and she has snapped at people". Martha has never bitten anyone. Martha's owners want us to know she is funny and loving and she loves the dog park and going for walks!! 

Update 6/10/2014: We've heard from Martha's owner, and she believes she'll have about three weeks before she has to move. We've also confirmed Martha is up to date on her rabies and distemper vaccines.
