​ Martius and his three sisters were part of an unplanned litter in Detroit.  We were told their mom is a Rottweiler mix (not seeing this at all in the pups) and dad was an unknown stray. While ‘Detroit Special’ isn’t a breed we can select for their profiles, that’s what these pups are. Your breed mix guess is as good as ours! Based on current size, estimated age, and paw size, we expect them to be medium-sized adults.

These pups came to us very skinny and under-socialized. They are looking a lot better after getting regular meals – they LOVE their food. New people, places, and things are all a bit scary. They do warm up as they feel more comfortable, but adopters will need to continue to work to socialize their pup to build confidence and trust. Despite their rough start to life, these pups are very sweet and loving!

Martius is most likely to be found right by his people accepting all the pets he can get. He is such a snuggly boy and it’s hard to resist stroking his cute ears and giving him chin scratches. He makes incredible eye contact and looks like he is hanging on your every word.
