Martha – Adopted

Failed Foster Alert

Martha is home — and she hasn’t had to move a paw.

Martha arrived into foster back in February after she was heartbreakingly found as a stray, wandering the streets alone in the cold and wet weather.

Thankfully, she was found and taken to safety at the kennels. As soon as her 7-day hold was up, Martha joined Brenda and Sidney in foster in the North East.

Martha’s foster journey hasn’t always been easy. With no history, and what we can only assume was not the best start in life, it took time, patience and a huge amount of love from Brenda and Sidney to earn Martha’s trust and show her that the world can be a safe and loving place.

So when Brenda asked if they could adopt Martha, there was only ever going to be one answer.

Martha is happy, settled and very loved — and that is all we could ever wish for our dogs.

Please join us in congratulating Brenda and Sidney on officially welcoming Martha into their family. We are absolutely over the moon for them all.

Welcome Martha to the Geordie Bullies family.

Martha was very sadly found as a stray, roaming the streets all alone in the cold, wet weather Thankfully, Martha was found and taken to the kennels to complete the standard 7-day hold. Sadly, as usual, her owners couldn’t be located and nobody came forward to take her home.

As soon as her 7-day hold was over, our fabulous volunteer Sarah collected Martha and brought her home to warmth and safety, providing a safe haven for the night.

The following day, Martha made the move to her permanent foster home to join her foster mum, Brenda. Martha is settling in well and has been working on getting her foster family wrapped around her little paws. Due to Martha being a stray, we don’t have any medical history for her, but weighing a tiny 13kg, she is incredibly underweight after starving on the streets.

As with all of our foster dogs, Martha was booked in at the vets next week for a full health check — however, today she gave us all a fright by having a lot of blood in her stools.

Thankfully, Brenda jumped straight into action and rushed Martha to the vets for an emergency appointment After a thorough check-over, the vet was happy that Martha is doing well and reassured us that the blood in her stools is nothing overly concerning. Martha has been given antibiotics and a prebiotic to help settle her stomach, and she is happy in herself, which is always a good sign.

We would like to say a huge thank you to Sarah for collecting Martha and bringing her to safety, and to Brenda for opening your heart and home to Martha when she needs someone the most.

Please keep an eye out for updates when Martha is ready to find her forever home For now, please join us in welcoming Martha into the arms of her Geordie Bullies family.

Welcome to our family, Martha. We can’t wait to watch your story unfold
