A4925358 Marty is a spunky 3-year-old tricolor male Chihuahua and Dachshund mix (aka a Chiweenie) who entered the Baldwin Park Animal Care Center as a stray from Duarte on March 5th. Weighing 18 lbs, Marty takes time to trust, but once he does, he’s good to go. What he likes best—and seeks out—is other dogs. He interacted with a little female in the yard and was gentle and sort of urgently wanting to stay with her. He currently has an undiagnosed skin condition, so he should have that evaluated by an outside vet. Given that that this sturdy little fellow is sometimes fear-aggressive toward people in the shelter environment and likes other dogs so much, we think it’s best that he be an inside pet and companion for adults only, and we think having a canine sibling his own size would be a real plus. Patience and love, and especially security, are probably going to go a long way in getting Marty to drop his guard and let his spunkiness and sweetness rule.

Mission:
United Hope for Animals is dedicated to reducing homelessness among companion animals through spay/neuter, shelter support, photography, video and networking of shelter animals in Southern California. It is an all-volunteer, non-profit organization working to end homelessness among companion animals by supporting shelter adoptions and spay/neuter programs. Through our Shelter Support Program, our volunteers photograph and video shelter pets to increase their chances of adoption significantly. Our volunteer Adoption Coordinators help facilitate adoptions of shelter pets. United Hope for Animals supports rescue, spay/neuter and networking of shelter pets to increase their chances of adoption. UHA is not a shelter, but supports shelters to help increase visibility of animals who might not otherwise be seen.
