Marti - Chihuahua and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Wake Forest, North Carolina

*** AVAILABLE ON-SITE ONLY FRIDAYS AND SATURDAYS ***
Don't let size or age fool you! This little senior lady has energy and personality for days. Did we mention ears? Her ears are almost bigger than she is! Definitely her signature feature! Everyone in her foster home (dogs and cats!) was bigger than she, but that did not phase her. Marti wanted to fit right in with the dog pack! Cats, however, need not apply - she got a lot of exercise chasing cats, so a no-cat home would be the healthier choice for both her and the cats. She is at that age where a little exercise, like a short walk, is preferable and good for her. A small privacy fenced yard to sniff and explore would be nice.

Marti likes bath time, followed by a nice rub down and being wrapped up in a fluffy towel on your lap afterwards. A happy little explorer, she rides well in the car. When it's time to snooze, she will sleep through the night in the crate but would be happy to sleep next you too! Daytime snoozes are best enjoyed curled up on the couch next to you.

Other than exercising the foster's resident cats, Marti has been a perfect guest! She seems to be potty trained when kept on a schedule, waiting to be picked up in the morning (she's light as a feather) and taken outside to do her business!

If you are looking for a pint-sized partner, come meet Marti!

The Chihuahua is a small breed famous for its confidence, loyalty, and big personality, despite its tiny size. Originating from Mexico, these dogs are known for their large, expressive eyes and alert, curious nature. Chihuahuas make excellent companions, forming strong bonds with their owners and displaying a protective nature. They come in a variety of coat colors and patterns, with both long and short coats, making them a diverse and adorable addition to any family.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
