The next dog looking for a new home in our Christmas campaign with Dogs Trust is utterly loveable Marty the spaniel cross.
If you're looking for a dog that will cheer you up no matter what, then Marty is most likely the one for you. Fun and friendly, Marty has won the hearts of all his carers at Dogs Trust with his 'bubbly personality' and you can rely on him to do anything for a tasty treat.
Dogs Trust Essex says, 'Marty is looking for an experienced spaniel owner who can provide him with lots of mental stimulation and ensure he stays a happy chappy.
'He has an exuberant personality and entertains his canine carers on a daily basis. A quiet adult home with owners that have the time to dedicate to him will see Marty become a great addition.'
