Marte, Labrador Retriever For Adoption In Fort Lupton, Colorado

Location:

Fort Lupton, CO

Description:

Marte (aka “Marte de la Calle") was found on the side of a highway in Baja Sur, Mexico. He had been thrown from a moving vehicle. Even though he was in a lot of pain, Marte’s joyful and happy personality was so clear as we scooped him up and took him to the vet. We learned that Marte had two broken back legs - one femur and one knee. Options were surgery or a double amputation. We decided to help him THRIVE and chose surgery and it worked! Marte is one of the fastest pups in the pack and is absolutely full of joy and life. He sits a bit funny, as one of his legs is a bit longer than the other, but to us that makes him even cuter. Marte is a lover of all humans and boy, he is excited to LIVE. He is always happy to see you and will dramatically wiggle his entire body upon greeting and if he is REALLY stoked, he likes to hug you with his “flappers” (aka paws). Marte has been professionally trained by Flash Dog Training and comes with a few owner lessons too. He can be a bit excitable but is always full of love and joy, never malice. He is approximately 45 lbs and our best guess on his breed is boxer/lab mix. Marte is great with humans of all sizes but because he is pretty excitable, we recommend he goest to a home with kids over 5 and either no dogs or one calm dog. Sometimes because he has some physical limitations, he can get defensive and scared with other dogs but with proper introductions, he will love all of his four-legged doggie friends!Adopters need to be aware that due to his accident, Marte will likely have needs in the regard to the health of his back legs and hips as he gets older. Please apply to adopt on our website and then we can setup a meet and greet/put you in contact with the foster!Adoption processAdoptions can be completed at our Fort Lupton Shelter or at one of our many adoption events that are held every Saturday around the Denver metro area.
