Apply for Me

 

Hi, I’m Simon! Colorado Pug Rescue is taking good care of me because my daddy is very sick and my mommy has to take good care of him! I’m glad they’re helping me out.

I am a snuggle bug, and my favorite thing is to hang out in my new foster mommy’s lap. In fact, that’s where I am right now. I am mostly blind and a pretty anxious guy in general, so I feel safe and loved when I’m with my people.

I can see light and shadows in one eye, enough to get around and not bump into things. I have trouble with stairs because I can’t see that far down, but I only weight 16 pounds, so I’m easy to carry around. I need eye ointment and eye drops daily to keep my dry eyes from getting worse.

I get very nervous in strange situations or when I can’t find my people. I howl and will mark in the house. My foster mommy has put a wrap on me to keep the house nice even when I’m upset, and it works great. She is also giving me “chill pills” every day which really help me to feel happier and more relaxed. Life is really getting better!

Since I have a bum knee, I don’t take long walks, but I like short ones and am great on a leash. I like wagon rides too! Car rides are such fun, and I’m the best puggie ever in the car. I just take a nap.

I need some work on my housetraining. As I mentioned earlier, I mark sometimes, and I am still getting the hang of going to the door to be let out for all my business. However, I’m figuring things out, and the treats I get for doing my business outside really make me happy.

I am looking for someone who can spend time with me and be my best buddy. I need someone to spend time with me and help me feel secure and loved. Isn’t that what all puggies need?

Pugs and Kisses, Simon
