Skye is the happiest little puggy girl you could ever meet….
And yes of course she is extra sweet….
She is a true puggy clown…
And will greet everyone with a smile whilst wiggling her tail and bum and dancing around…
From climbing puppy pens to shelves to help herself to food…
Skye has a no cares given absolutely hilarious attituded….
She absolutely loves wrestle with puggy friends, play tug of war and do zoomies all around..
And is fantastic at following instructions including sitting and waiting with her bottom on the ground…
She loves getting picked up and sitting on laps…
And is like a floppy soft squishy toy when having a cuddle and a pat…
Skye says Pug Rescue have turned my life around and done so much for me…..
Including getting me to lose over 2kg so I am fit and thin 5.5kg girl now yippy…
They have taught me about suburban life including the joys of sitting on the couch and watching tv..
I’ve also learnt how to calm and settle down…
And how to be a social butterfly around town…
Skye underwent vaccination, a dental, ear infection treatment, spine and hip xrays for hemivertebrae and was desexed/speyed at Knox Vet when she arrived into Pug Rescue care…
Even with weight loss her breathing was quite bad and she really was struggling to get in air…
So Dr Ricky from Melbourne Animal Referral Services/ Geelong Animal Referral Service Team performed BOAS “Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome” surgery involving a folded palatoplasty to thin and trim her very long and thick, soft palate, a tonsillectomy to remove her big tonsils and widened her extremely stenotic nostrils/nares…
Skye reports her breathing is now very much improved and quiet and she no longer makes terrible sounds whilst breathing in air…
Skye crate rested and was hand fed soft food and meds for two weeks after BOAS surgery to let everything heal up…
Then she was back to being a cheeky silly happy pup……
Skye is searching for a furever home that understands that she can not become overweight and her long term puggy needs and care…
And of course, can deal with some extra fibers of magical puggy hair…
She simply must have a young small puggy boyfriend/brother in her new home..
To play, snuggle, sit with and call her own…
So if you think little Skye is the one for you…
Please send an adoption enquiry through…
