Martina

HOMETHE GIRLS

 

Hi!  My name is Martina and I am about five years old.  I first came to BHRA from a shelter, and was adopted out.  Unfortunately for me I was returned because of some jealousy problems with other dogs getting my "person's" attention.  I am a really loving girl who loves to dole out kisses and I am happy to receive hugs and snuggles.  I do well with kids and I am very playful.  I am doing just fine with the dogs I am bunking with right now, but I can be aggressive when it comes to other dogs getting in the bed with me and my people.  I just want to be the closest!  If another dog invades my territory I can go after them and bark at them quite loudly, so for this reason I might be happiest in a home where I am the only dog.  I like my foster's cat and get along with him just fine.  I have a very gentle personality and I am really just a love bug.  I was crate trained and housebroken, but I have had some accidents so my foster people are working with me on my housebreaking training to get me back on track.  I am also a very good counter cruiser--a typical hound behavior, so don't leave a loaf of bread up there or it will be my "snack".  If you have a no-other-dog home or maybe just another male with a laid back personality, I would be a great pet for you!  I need my people to show me that no matter what I will always have their love and attention because sometimes I am not quite convinced it will keep coming.  Contact my fosters for more info on me!

Adopted by her foster mom, Kelly Cothran of Madison, Alabama!  Congratulations you two!
