[Not a valid template]Male Black Desexed Pure Pug – 7kg
Microchip Number: 956000016574111
DOB: 02/12/2022
RE108835
Handsome black Pudding is two and a half and ready for his furever family….
He admits that he is a typical cheeky black puggy who loves to dance, sing and shout but he is very excited to announce he’s Pug Rescue reform school graduate yippy…
Oh boy oh boy he says as he spots a toy to play with happily….
And much excitement occurs when there is mention of walkies…
Pudding arrived into Pug Rescue due to being overwhelmed by and fighting with other boys and dominant dogs in his previous life….
We told him he had to unlearn that behaviour as it would only continue to cause him strife…
Lots of behavioural training to stop overreacting, how to share and socalising has gone into him…
Pudding reports he is great out and about socalising, he’s even joined us at Pug Rescue events, and he loves having a sweet puggy girlfriend…
As mentioned, he loves toys of any kind and is fantastic at going walkies…
He understands sit and wait, knows to toilet outside and will take himself to bed when he is sleepy…
Pudding didn’t want us to mention that he was quite overweight when he arrived but 3kg+ of weight loss has occurred and he looks like a different puggy boy…
He promises to tell you all about his transformation as chatting brings this little puggy lots of joy…
Pudding’s breathing was not very good, and he would puff and pant due to BOAS “Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome” so Pug Rescue granted him specialist airway surgery by Dr Ricky at Melbourne Animal Referral Services including trimming and reduce the thickness of his soft palate, a tonsillectomy and widening of his very stenotic nostrils/nares…
After two weeks of crate resting and hand feeding he can more freely breathe air….
Wake up, toilet, snack and play, play, play……
And then nap lay…
Walk, walk, run, run…
Then sing for dinner, eat dinner, tv time, cuddles with humans and then snuggles and bed dreaming of my own furever home and dad and mum…
Pudding says this is his typical day and hopes that is sounds like he is the pawfect match for someone…
If he sounds like the boy for you….
Please send an adoption enquiry through…

Pudding’s furever home wishes:
