More about Marty

Marty is a happy and friendly young pup that enjoys meeting new people and other dogs. He’s doing awesome potty training (80%), walking on a leash and learning basic commands. Marty sleeps quietly in his crate along with his lambie toy. Once awake, he wants to be with his people and other pups. His love of food and attention helps train this sweet guy. Marty’s estimated birth date is 11/22/2025. He has sleek, soft black fur, handsome markings and webbed front paws similar to Lab's. Marty would do best with an active and patient adopter that enjoys walks or hiking. He would enjoy another pup in the household that matches his energy level and a fenced-in backyard for doing zoomies (running).  He’s working on house manners and not to jump when greeting people so a household with children 5+, respectful children, if any would be a better fit. This handsome dude will most likely be about 40-45 lbs. His Mom, Star, also in rescue, is 35 lbs. and appears to be a combo of Dalmatian/Terrier/Hound.  If you are interested in adopting/meeting this pup , please complete our online adoption application that you can find here: https://www.starfishanimalrescue.com/adopt/dog-adoption-application  .

The adoption fee of $300 will include spay/neuter, microchip, age appropriate/required vaccinations, treatment for heartworm and any other necessary medical treatment to assure a healthy new pup for your family. IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Although we do our best to describe breed, since our pups all come from shelters we can not and will not make any guarantee on breed or size. We can tell you that they are 100% RESCUED! And that is the BEST breed! *please note that we are a foster home based rescue and we do home visits as part of the adoption process - we are unable to adopt to families who live outside of the Chicago and surrounding suburbs. Thank you for your understanding.
