Martha and Matti are adorable friends who love life and complete each other. They are best buddies and will be rehomed as a pair. Easy going around the house, Matti and Martha are both house-trained – although Martha can be a bit shyer about going out alone than her mate – calm when travelling and comfortable being handled and bathed. In foster care, they have lived in both a house and an apartment, showing themselves adaptive to both environments and relaxed around the home.

Matti and Martha adore people of all sizes, love getting out each day for exercise and daily catch ups around the neighbourhood, enjoy welcoming visitors at home and play happily together. Matti is a pretty chilled guy, happy to go with the flow and follow Martha’s lead. Martha is the Yang to Matti’s Yin, sassy and sparky and ready to lead the way. Martha is head taster, sometimes hoovering up Matti’s leftovers when he is distracted. Matti is clearly used to Martha’s occasional theatrics and will move off to do his own thing when she gets overexcited. They are each delightful friendly dogs, a joy to have around and complementing each other beautifully.

Matti and Martha spend a great deal of time catching up on their beauty sleep, with short windows of active energy. They love their walks and having a chance to smell all the smells, meet all the people and stretch their legs. They both walk well on lead. Martha and Matti can be quite shouty at other dogs when out and about; however, they do settle down and can walk calmly with or past others with encouragement. That said, Matti and Martha definitely prefer each others’ canine company and will not be good candidates for living with other dogs.

They sleep well in their beds through the night and are calm and snoozy about the house when exercise and feed times are over. Martha and Matti are fine inside when left alone by their carers for a few hours and could be left for longer periods provided they have both indoor and outdoor access. These sociable pups will, however, need plenty of quality indoor time with their family.

Martha and Matti will do well with a calm lifestyle in an adult home, or with at least one person who is home most of the time. Their home will be without too many steps, or with a ramp for easier access.

While they have the glorious calm that comes with maturity, Matti and Martha are sociable and bright dogs, looking forward to a new forever home that will share love, life and the occasional adventure with them. If you have space in your home and heart for this gorgeous and easygoing pair, they would love you to submit an adoption application.

All our dogs are desexed, C5 vaccinated with intranasal, microchipped, wormed, and flea treated. All necessary vetwork such as dentals, surgery, eye treatment are also carried out. We are no longer heartworm testing as we have not had one positive test since we began in 2006. If a dog comes to us on heartworm treatment this is continued.
