Behavior Notes:
Marty is a calm, easygoing boy who has been consistently well-mannered in the shelter. He greets staff with a relaxed body, allows himself to be leashed without hesitation, and walks beautifully on a loose leash. Outside, he enjoys quietly sniffing around and politely greeting neighboring dogs before taking care of his business. He keeps his kennel clean, remains quiet indoors, and has shown no behavioral concerns. While he isn't very interested in treats, he is content simply spending time with people and taking peaceful walks.
