Hi Forever Family—yes, I’m talkin’ to YOU! My name is Frank and I’m a very young 10 year old fawn pug. My old family was moving and unable to take me and my pug brothers along so they asked SEPRA to help us find new homes. I am a big boy (29 pounds) but the dogtor says that I’m healthy and don’t need to lose any weight…I’m just big boned. The nice dogtor gave me a thorough checkup and I got all of my shots; my teeth were polished shiny white (a “dental”); and my heartworm test was negative. I am neutered, up-to-date on everything, and ready to come home to you!

When I first got to my foster home, I lacked some manners but foster mom and pop are teaching me and now I can sit, stay, and take a bacon treat gently from your fingers. I also know that “out” means to get away from the table and sit on the rug while my foster family eats. I respond to commands and am learning to watch hand signals too—see, I am smart! I am EAGER to please and foster mom says that I’m a fast learner. I have never marked or tinkled in my foster home so I’m pretty much house broken. I did have an embarrassing poo accident but foster mom says that’s because she didn’t know what kind of dog food I used to eat and I have to get accustomed to my new food and feeding schedule. Don’t worry, that won’t be a problem for my new family because I know my foster mom is planning to tell you all about me.

As I said, I had pug brothers with me all my life. My foster mom and pop have a pug brother for me too—we play, take walks, and we sleep close to one another. The first few nights were hard for me and I cried, so my foster parents put my comfy wire crate in their room so that I could sleep upstairs next to my foster brother and now I sleep like a softly snoring baby! Foster pop “works from home” (whatever that means) and I like to nap at his feet next to my foster pug brother. My foster parents think it would be best for me be part of a family with another pug and people with time to spend with me every day. Don’t get me wrong, I like my crate, but I’m a people pug! Foster mom and pop take me on several short walks daily and I walk great on a leash. Foster mom thinks it’s quirky that I always have to walk on your right side but that’s my preference. Did I mention that I can play fetch? I love to chase my stuffed toys over and over so I bring them back for you to throw again.

My foster family doesn’t have young children but I have claimed their teenage son as my human brother—I sit at his feet or right next to him when riding in the car (I love car rides) and I am very patient and enjoy when the little neighbor boy scratches between my ears. I just ignore my foster family’s cat and he’s okay with that.

Foster mom and pop say I am a GREAT pug and that my forever family will be lucky to have me. They, too, would love to adopt me but we all know that there are other pugs, like me, that need a good foster home while they wait for forever homes. Everyone comments to foster mom what a good, handsome, and loving boy I am (she agrees). Adopt me! I will be your forever loyal friend and will prove it by always greeting you with a wagging tail and following you wherever you go!
