Description
Dog Breed: Pug. Bugsy is 11. He had his eye removal surgery in August of 2024, is partially deaf, and is on a strict diet. He knows no strangers and loves to be petted by anyone who will pet him. He has never shown any type of aggression except when the vet cut his quick one time, he tried to give him a little nip. He gets along great with all animals. He loves to go to the farmers' market in his wagon and get pets from all the people. He loves food, snacks, treats, watermelon, cantaloupe, plain yogurt with chia seeds and flaxseed, peanut butter, fresh peppers, carrots, broccoli, blueberries, and any type of fish/seafood. He is a sleepy boy who needs lots of attention. He loves to fall asleep on his humans with pillows, blankets, and a fan. He doesn't like to be alone. He will "bork" any time he needs something. He loves to be carried around in his baby carrier, going for car rides, going for wagon rides, and going to new places. He isn't exactly house-trained, but has no issues wearing a diaper. He doesn't pee on the couch or beds, only around the house if he runs into something. He knows to go potty when he is outside. He has to be carried outside and back inside since he is blind. He isn't exactly keen on trying to find things by himself. He does not go down stairs but will go up them with support. His eye scars do get itchy, so he likes them rubbed and scratched. He loves playing with toys, licking faces, and his daily glucosamine and greenie. He gets gas sometimes, which can be remedied with simethicone, pumpkin, and pre-/probiotics. He gets attached to one person, and that is his person. He is good with baths, and you don't have to worry about getting soap in his eyes!! He has seizures, but not often enough for medication. He is a lover boy through and through.

Overview:
The Pug, a charming and ancient breed, boasts a fascinating history believed to originate in China as early as 206 BC. Known for its distinctive flat, wrinkled face, large, expressive eyes, and tightly curled tail, the Pug's compact, muscular build is instantly recognizable. Despite their somewhat serious expression, Pugs are famously friendly, playful, and affectionate companions, often described as "clowns" due to their comedic antics. Their relatively low exercise requirements and adaptability make them excellent pets for apartment dwellers and devoted family members, thriving on human companionship. However, prospective owners should be aware of certain health considerations, primarily their susceptibility to respiratory issues due to their brachycephalic (short-nosed) structure, as well as potential eye problems and joint conditions. With proper care and attention, the Pug offers years of unwavering loyalty and delightful companionship.
