Description
Dog Breed: Pug (short coat). 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.

Overview:
The Pug, a charming and ancient breed, boasts a fascinating history believed to originate in China as early as 206 BC. Known for its distinctive flat, wrinkled face, large, expressive eyes, and tightly curled tail, the Pug's compact, muscular build is instantly recognizable. Despite their somewhat serious expression, Pugs are famously friendly, playful, and affectionate companions, often described as "clowns" due to their comedic antics. Their relatively low exercise requirements and adaptability make them excellent pets for apartment dwellers and devoted family members, thriving on human companionship. However, prospective owners should be aware of certain health considerations, primarily their susceptibility to respiratory issues due to their brachycephalic (short-nosed) structure, as well as potential eye problems and joint conditions. With proper care and attention, the Pug offers years of unwavering loyalty and delightful companionship.
