Hello Again Pug People,

This is your good old friend Papee here to let you know how I am doing and what the future holds for me. I am a little older than we first thought; we think I am actually about 7 years old. My foster mom has designated my birthday as May 4th…so I get to have a birthday party just like everyone else now. I have finished my heart worm treatment and did AMAZING! So I am officially up for ADOPTION…I cannot tell you how excited I am to start the process of finding my forever home. So with that being said, I am going to tell all you Pug lovers about myself, in hopes of finding my new family.

Let me start out with my health. So like I said above, I am about 7 years old. I do have to say for being 7 years old, I still get all the ladies to look at me the same way I did when I was a puppy. I guess you can say I have been blessed with good looks. My foster mom thinks I am a little hard of hearing, but she doesn’t understand I am a male so I have “selective” hearing. I think I have learned that living in my foster home, some things you just need to tune out. My eye sight is pretty darn good, so no issues with my eyes. I know I do not look like I am 7 years old, but I do move around like I am 7…a little slow. My foster mom tells me it is ok to be slow, it is better to be late then not be there at all right? So that’s what I tell everyone, I am not slow just trying to make a “late” appearance. The doctors say that I have osteoarthritis in both my front legs, so that is why I am on the slower side. They gave my foster parents some medicine to put in my food which will help with my arthritis; I am most likely going to be on this for the rest of my life. I was a little sad about taking medicine every day, but I see my foster mom do it every morning and know that is helps her and quite frankly I can’t taste much of a difference. My ears will need drops every other day; because they get really dirty no matter how many times my foster parents clean them out. So honestly people my only two know medical “issues” are my gross ears that require drops, and my osteoarthritis that requires drops on my food…not too bad if you ask me considering what I have all been through.

As for what I am like. Well that is easy…I am PERFECT, or so I tell myself that all the time. It is a good ego booster for my age… ;) Honestly, I get along with all dogs no matter what the size is (I have 4 foster brothers right now 3 Pugs and my Basset Hound brother who is my best friend). I get along great with cats, I just think of them as another dog so I just lay right by them with no issues. I enjoy going for car rides…I sit “shot gun” and just lay there listening to the tunes….sometimes you can see me bobbing my head to the tunes. I enjoy going for walks in the nice weather, my foster parents tell me I walk great on a leash. I get along with all humans, no matter what their size is…so kids and adults of all ages. I am potty trained, I mean I do have an occasional accident…but hey who doesn’t, we are not all perfect even though I tell myself I am. I am crate trained, but I prefer either sleeping on the couch or sleeping in bed with my foster parents. They always tell each other, why do we need a child when we have Mr. Papee, because when I sleep in bed with them I always sleep between them with my head on one of their pillows, or I will sleep at the foot of the bed. My foster mom loves to dress me up, so with that being said I look good in everything…or at least that is what she says.

This is what I am looking for in my forever home. I am looking for someone who will treat me like an important part of the family. I want a family who will take me for car rides, for walks, give me yummy treats, let me lay on the couch and watch TV with them, and will let me sleep in bed with them (not all the time, just some nights). Like I said, I am crate trained but my foster mom told me that it is called “fur-niture” for a reason, so “fur-children” can lay on there. My foster parents think I would be a good fit for anyone, but please know that I am a very slow moving, calm, relaxed dog who enjoys hanging out…in other words I am not a ball fetching Pug…I am a sit on your lap, cuddle Pug who likes to be lazy and is slow moving.

I really hope that all you possible Pug loving parents will check me out. My foster parents, their families, and their friends all the say the same thing “whoever gets me, will be one LUCKY family and will not be disappointed.” Well folks, I really do look forward to meeting my future family! Until then, be good, be safe, and be happy.

Tons of pugs and kisses,
Papee
