DESCRIPTION
🐾 Meet Martin! 🐾
There are some dogs that, once you hear their story, you just can’t get them out of your head. The kind of dog that makes you say, “We have to change this.”
That’s how we met Martin. ❤️
Martin is just over three years old, a handsome Rottweiler/Sheperd mix weighing about 55 pounds. He is up-to-date on all vaccines, microchipped, and neutered. He’s wonderful with kids, great with other dogs, and incredibly well-mannered. The total package!
But here’s the part that breaks our hearts… Martin is currently the longest resident at one of our partner shelters in Texas. He has been there for nearly 16 months — almost half his life. 💔 Why? Maybe because he’s a black dog. Maybe because he was overlooked time and time again. But Martin is not “just another black dog.” He is loyal. He is gentle. He is loving. He is deserving. And we promise him this — his story does not end in a shelter kennel.
Welcome to the Lifeline family, Martin. From here on out, your story changes. The next chapter will be filled with soft beds, belly rubs, and a family who will never let you go.
The Rottweiler is a powerful and loyal breed known for its robust build and confident demeanor. Originating from Germany, these dogs are renowned for their intelligence, making them excellent guard and working dogs. Rottweilers are known for their distinctive black and tan markings, along with their calm and confident temperament. With proper training and socialization, they can be affectionate companions and effective protectors, embodying the qualities of courage, strength, and loyalty.
The shepherd dog breed encompasses a versatile group known for their intelligence, loyalty, and strong work ethic. With a heritage deeply rooted in herding and protecting livestock, shepherds excel at various tasks ranging from obedience and agility competitions to search and rescue missions. Their protective nature makes them excellent family pets, offering unwavering devotion and a natural instinct to watch over and care for their loved ones. In addition to their remarkable abilities, shepherds are often characterized by their distinctive appearance, including a sturdy build, alert expression, and a signature double coat that provides insulation and protection in various climates.
