LOTTIE - PUG DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Pug. Lottie is somewhere between the ages of 11 and 14. She has IVDD (intervertebral disc disease), so she has to be careful in her movements. She is on steroids and pain medicine for the rest of her life because of it. When she is having a good day, she loves her cheeks, tummy, and booty scratched. She loves to just be a part of the team. She will follow you all around the house to see what you are doing, and she will just lie down and watch you do whatever you are doing. She is completely house-trained. She will sit next to the door to go outside when it is time to go. She is never excited about the cage, but will deal with it. I wouldn't have her around children that aren't old enough to know when to back off if she doesn't want to be pet. She gets along fine with all other animals. Lottie does not do stairs, up or down. She has to be on a diet and have limited food intake because the steroids make her hungry. They also make her extra thirsty, so she has to go potty more than what would be considered normal, but she is always hydrated! She has had a few seizures, but not enough for medication. She walks slowly, but she does love going for short walks. She likes to do her own thing and doesn't always want to be pet, but she will let you know. She doesn't like being picked up or cuddled. She would rather just be close to you on her own terms.
