Hi! Look at my picture. Am I cute or what??? My name is Ancho. That means wide in Spanish, which I guess I am! I’m a four-year-old porgi (pug/corgi). My foster family says I’m the happiest pup in the world. Why not be happy we; only have a few years on this earth, so life’s as good as you make it.

I have had some issues. I was abandoned in the house when my former family moved, and the neighbor called Colorado Pug Rescue. My nails had been cut VERY short, and they bled for the first month I was in foster care. Worst of all, I came to Colorado Pug Rescue with a ruptured cruciate ligament behind the knee in each of my back legs. I guess that’s why long walks and climbing seemed a little tough. CPR fixed my left side in August and plans to do the right in November. Personally, I’d rather be on vacation, instead. The recovery time is about three months per leg, and the physical therapy is really tough, but when I’m healed I’ll be Superman, sorry, super dog.

I’m just a happy-go-lucky guy who’s looking for a forever home where I can look out for my forever family. I’m good with kids and other dogs (I’m a follower, not a leader). I probably shouldn’t be in a home with cats as I just can’t stop myself from chasing those little furry things. They smell so good!

Since I’ve spent my whole life with these bad back legs, I can be a little barky because I want to protect my family and am not real strong. I protect with noise instead of action. My foster family is working with me to keep my voice controlled. They say that I listen well and am adaptable.

One of the things I love about my foster family is that they take me and my foster brother for a 45 minute walk every day! It’s the highlight of my day; even though we usually stay on the same trails, I get new smells every day. I’m good in the house alone. I love to sleep but can get barky if I get too bored. I have a crate and will be good about using it, but I try hard to prove I don’t need to be confined.

I just need one family that’s right for me, and I will show them unconditional love for the rest of my life.
