Meet Marty
Meet Marty! He is an adorable, very loving 10.5 year old special needs pug. He walks with a bit of a waddle due to a spinal injury. His spinal injury makes it so he cannot do stairs. He does well using ramps that he has in his foster home. He is good with other dogs and is the sweetest boy. He does well with frequent potty breaks, but does have some bladder and bowel issues related to his injury. When he gets excited, he also struggles to control his bladder/bowls. Marty is fine with wearing belly bands.

Adopting Marty — FAQ
How do I adopt Marty?
Use the adoption link or contact details on this page to apply directly with Kentuckiana Pug Rescue in Indianapolis, Indiana. Lily's Second Chance lists Marty to help them get seen — the adoption is handled by that organization.
Is Marty still available for adoption?
Marty's listing is refreshed regularly, but availability can change quickly as dogs are adopted. Always confirm Marty is still available directly with Kentuckiana Pug Rescue before making plans.
Is Marty a senior dog?
Yes. Every dog listed on Lily's Second Chance, including Marty, is a senior — generally age 7 or older. Senior dogs are often already house-trained and calm, and they wait the longest for a home.
Can I foster Marty instead of adopting?
Some shelters and rescues offer a foster-to-adopt path — you foster first, then complete the adoption if the match feels right. Check Marty's profile for the organization's contact details and ask them directly whether a fostering option is available.
What should I expect in the first weeks after adopting Marty?
Senior dogs typically have a brief adjustment period of a few days to a couple of weeks as they settle into a new home. They may be quiet or shy at first, then relax once they feel safe. A calm routine, a comfortable place to sleep, and patience usually make the transition smooth. Most senior dogs settle in faster than puppies because they are already past the demanding early stage.
Is Marty good with children or other pets?
Compatibility depends on the individual dog's history and personality more than age or breed alone. Kentuckiana Pug Rescue can tell you about Marty's known behavior around children, cats, and other dogs. Many organizations offer a meet-and-greet before finalizing an adoption to make sure the match is right for everyone.
