Description
Dog Breed: Pug (short coat). Mario and Cookie are a bonded pair of pugs. They are not siblings, but they are very close in age and have always been together. Their previous owner passed away and they were surrendered to KPR. Cookie is a girl and Mario is a boy; both are 6 years old. They are both fawn colored, but Cookie is smaller than Mario. Cookie and Mario are both very happy and love being around people! Their favorite place to hang out during the day is on the couch and they love to sleep next to you in bed. We have been crate training them when we leave the house to work on potty training. They have come so far and only occasionally have accidents in the house. Cookie and Mario get along well with other dogs, cats, and children. They are both so sweet and are ready for their forever family! Cookie recently underwent surgery to remove incredibly large bladder stones. The results of testing the stones is that Cookie will need to be on urinary food for the rest of her life and have routine urinalysis every 3 months to ensure this doesn't happen again. She has healed well from her surgery and also had a dental cleaning recently, too!

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.
