Meet Marty!

Please take a moment to meet one of our exceptional C.L.A.S.S. dogs, Marty.  Marty is eagerly awaiting adoption at the Gwinnett Animal Shelter.

Marty is a very bright Lab/Shepherd mix that the shelter believes is about two years old and weights around forty-five pounds.  He has learned basic commands such sit, down, look, stay, wait for the food bowl, wait to go outside, loose leash walking, shake, touch and spin.  We think he will soon be ready to test for his B.A. level in C.L.A.S.S. (Canine Life and Social Skills).  Marty has impressed all his handlers with his focus and work ethic.  He is also the star of the shelter’s Nose Work class, which meets once a week.  Nose Work is a sport where dogs use their nose to locate a target scent or odor (for Marty it is chicken).  The shelter’s Nose Work program gives dogs enrichment and the opportunity to build confidence and problem solve.  Marty has a great personality and deserves a loving home with an owner that would enjoy keeping his brain stimulated with fun activities.
