From Foster Mom:
I would describe Martha as a beautiful work in progress. Martha is learning how to be a dog. Like a lot of dogs with her background, Martha is more comfortable with dogs than she is people. She wants to be more comfortable, and is working very hard to get over her fear so that she can enjoy the scratches. She is still very timid about getting pets and snuggles, but she watches you closely and will follow you around. When she sees you notice her, she’ll scoot away to a safe distance, but she is super curious when nobody is looking. Martha enjoys bones and loves her food and treats. She wants to lay near you while she enjoys her favorite things. She is crate trained and potty trained. Martha will need a home where there are other small dogs. She will need to be in a home with only older teenaged children, or no children. Martha is super sweet, but will need somebody that is willing to be patient with her because she is a work in progress.
Martha does not like to be picked up and will nip if you try, therefore we are recommending she not be placed with young children.
