Meet Martin, a brave and loving soul who has endured unimaginable hardships on the streets of Puerto Vallarta. At just three years old, Martin has faced hunger, neglect, and the cruelty of people who wanted him gone from their vicinity.

When Martin arrived, he weighed far below a healthy weight for a dog of his age and size. His physical appearance reflected the hardships he's endured, but his spirit remains unbroken. Despite the odds stacked against him, Martin still wags his tail and seeks human affection.

He has now gained much needed weight, and is looking quite handsome. He is ready for his forever home with a family who will give him the love he has waited so long for.
