Colorado Pug Rescue

Meet Pi. She is around 8yrs old and a whopping 14lbs! She has a BIG personality and a BIG need for her humans for such a petite little pumpkin. She is perfectly happy as long as she can see you but if you leave her sight and she knows you are still within earshot, she will serenade you until you come back. If allowed, she will just follow you everywhere. She loves to be held like a baby and have her tummy rubbed. I call her my “Gumby foster pug” because she is so flexible and easy going. Pi is potty trained and gets along great with cats, kids, and other dogs. She would do great as your only Pug if you are home a lot. If you are not, then she would need a companion dog to keep her company. Pi cannot see out of her left eye due to a cataract but she sees just fine out of the other. Her hearing is not the greatest but she is not deaf. Pi is current on her shots, still has plenty of teeth after her recent dental cleaning, and the doc says her lungs and heart sound good. X-rays showed that Pi has some arthritis in her back and has Intervertebral Disc Disease. Both are very common in smaller breeds such as Pugs. This causes Pi to drag her feet when she walks and limits her ability to use stairs. She can handle a couple of stairs as long as they are not too tall. Fortunately, she is light enough to just scoop up and carry her if you have stairs. She is not in any pain and it doesn’t stop her from cruising the yard and being on your heels. She started showing signs about 6 months ago and has not gotten worse so the doc says that is a positive. It is a degenerative disease but with daily joint chewy, daily limited exercise, good food, keeping her trim, lots of love, and a couple trips to the vet a year, she will have plenty of years for you to spoil her. Pi’s ideal family would have lots of carpet or lots of area rugs to cruise around on and must also welcome her sleeping buddy “Groucho the Pug”(pictured with her). If you are looking for a couch potato companion that will remind you every minute of everyday that she loves you more than anything else in the world, then Pi is the perfect girl for you.
