Raleigh, NC – A sweet old teddy bear, described as the “gentlest soul on earth,” found himself at the SPCA of Wake County when his elderly owner got to the point of not being able to care for him anymore. The shelter described the gentle old soul, whose name is Martin:
Martin really is the bestest boy. His former owner said he is extremely gentle, especially with kids — Martin used cuddle up with their grandkids so they could lie their head on him for a nap. He’s great with people of all ages, including seniors, gets along with dogs of all sizes and energy levels, and he is housetrained and crate-trained. Martin is a bit hard of hearing (he’s 10 years old), but he still knows some tricks and loves being rewarded in treats.
There is a silver lining to this otherwise sad tale…so many people were touched by Martin’s story, and his sweet face, that the shelter “maxed out” on pending adoptions. The shelter staff expects that Martin will be in his new home “very soon.”
Best of luck Martin!
