Hi my name is Alex but you can call me “Big Al”. I have been living the good life since being saved by Pug Rescue. I am 11 or 12 years old and have had a rough life. I was an “outside only” dog and am a pug! We are not outside only dogs!! You wouldn’t know it from my sweet, easy going personality though. I like to snuggle my humans on the couch all day if they let me! I also enjoy a slow stroll around the block to get the mail and supervising my humans while they do yard work. I get along fairly good with other dogs but do have an occasional cranky old man moment and snap at them. I really like cats and would like to play with them, however they do not like me back! I also like to wrestle with my humans and play with toys.
Since I am a little older, I do have some health concerns. I am mostly blind (I see shadows, I found and figured out the dog door on my own!) I don’t hear a whole lot and I am a little limpy. The vet with the rescue finally figured out that I needed thyroid medication and I am so much happier! I take it twice a day in my food and don’t even notice its there! Speaking of food, I am food agressive but eat just fine if you feed me away from any other dogs.
I am really looking for a quiet home where I can spend my senior years. I will keep your lap warm in the winter months and entertain you with my silly bark. Please help me find that home!
