Magoo was found as a stray, so not much is known about his previous life. But, based on his condition when he arrived at the shelter, he was probably not very well taken care of. In spite all of that, Magoo is one of the sweetest pugs you’ll ever meet! He is easygoing and content to be around his foster family, including his foster fur-siblings. He’s not overly needy, but relishes any attention he receives. He would probably do best where he’s not the only pet or where he’s not left alone for significant periods of time, if he is solo. The veterinary ophthalmologist diagnosed him with retinal degeneration, which is permanent and irreversible. However, Magoo still seems to be able to see shadows and does very well navigating his surroundings. He will always come find you if you make kissy noises to call him. Magoo would love to come be loved and pampered by you…and treats are always welcome!
