Female Fawn Pedigree Desexed Pug – 5kg
Microchip Number: #956000012974255
DOB: 15/01/2021

Cassy is sending perfect head tilts out to everyone….
In her search for a furever dad and or mum….
She is excitedly chatting in her puggy “woo woo woo” about how her new life has just begun…
And how she is expert at being cheeky and wiggling her tail and bum…

Cassy absolutely loves wrestle with puggy friends, play tug of war and do zoomies with them making whilst making her silly chatting sound…
And has learnt how to sit and wait with her bottom on the ground…
She like getting picked up and sitting on laps…
And loves having a cuddle and a pat…
Cassy has learnt so much about city life in foster care, but because she grew up in the country sometimes she can still have a few moments of wondering what is that…

Cassy says Pug Rescue have turned my life around and done so much for me…..
Including getting m to lose over 2kg so I am fit and thin yippy…
I’m only a tiny girl weighing 5kg now…
I make all the puggy boys go wow…

Cassy underwent my vaccination, underwent a dental, ear infection treatment 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 at Patterson River Veterinary Centre Dr Alex of 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…
Cassy reports her breathing is now very much improved and quiet and she no longer makes terrible sounds whilst breathing in air…

After BOAS surgery Cassy crate rested and was hand fed soft food and meds for two weeks to let everthing heal up…
Then she was back to being a cheeky silly happy pup……
Cassy 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 in her new home..
Pug Rescue says if you don’t have one for Cassy they have plenty of boys looking for furever homes and she can bring a half brother of own…
So if you think Cassy is the one for you…
Please send an adoption enquiry through…

Cassy’s furever home wishes:

♥ OTHER DOG – YES! For those seeking to adopt a pair of pugs Cassy would be a good match with Bailey. Cassy has always lived with other pugs.  Cassy is a very little very active girl and seeking a similar aged healthy small statured desexed male pug  (between approx 1 to 3 years) who is well socalised as a companion.   Cassy will not be rehomed with other female pugs/dogs. (Please read up on same sex anxiety behaviours and dominance issues). Cassy will not be rehomed as a single pug. Cassy will not be rehomed with another breed of dog. Cassy will not be rehomed with a pug that is much older than her or with a much larger or overweight pug.
♥ HUMANS – Cassy is seeking humans that can keep up with her and that can show her positive leadership. Cassy is very much still a puppy and she is still getting used to city life.  Cassy absolutely can never be made by her humans to become overweight!!!!
♥KIDS – Yes.  Cassy would be fine with children who are respectful to dogs.
♥FENCING – Cassy as with all of our pugs requires secure brick, timber or colourbond fencing.
♥CATS – Unsure but probably not.
♥EXERCISE – Cassy requires at least a 20+ minute walk a day plus play times.
♥WORKING HOURS – Not suitable for homes where she would be left without humans for 6+ hours a day on a regular basis.
♥Cassy absolutely requires air-condition.
♥Access to the inside of her house 24/7 and an indoor bed. 
♥HOUSE & YARD SIZE/TYPE – Cassy may be fine in a house/townhouse with a smaller yard but she does need somewhere to do zoomies.
