Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Wilbert is a truly delightful middle-aged gentleman (eight years old) who is thriving despite a year of big changes for him! Wilbert was diagnosed with diabetes in April, and then he developed cataracts. Unfortunately, because of the cataracts, Wilbert can no longer see. He seems to have taken all these changes in stride, including the transition into his foster home, which he tolerated considerably well!
Wilbert is super easygoing and gets along with other dogs. He is good with kids and wags his tail in happiness when he gets love from his foster family. He is housetrained and crate trained, though we only use a crate overnight (as a precaution) to keep him safe and secure since he cannot see.
Because of his diabetes, Wilbert would do best with a caregiver who either works from home or is retired. He also must be kept on a regular feeding schedule, with 10-12 hours in between feedings being the ideal schedule for helping to regulate his glucose. Wilbert requires prescription dog food and insulin twice daily after meals. If you have a dog currently, do not let him/her read over your shoulder for this next part: Wilbert should NOT snack between meals. I know. Don’t tell your dog we ever used those words together in that order. It’s heartbreaking, especially for pugs, but Wilbert is a mentally strong puggy and has accepted this as his truth. He has thus taken charge of his health! (But he is *very* happy at feeding time. VERY happy!😆)
In his free time, Wilbert likes short walks, naps, greeting people who come and go, chewing on dog toys, sunbathing, and cuddling. He has no bad habits, and his only accidents occurred when he arrived and had a UTI. Once we treated that with antibiotics, he was back to pottying only outside.
Wilbert is worth every bit of the extra time and money his health situation requires. He pays back in love and snuggles and companionship and tail wags💕 Good boy, Wilbert.

CPR requires an application before anyone is considered for one of our pugs. It is NOT on a first come, first served basis, but the best match available.
When CPR receives a pug, it is evaluated and current applications are checked for a match. If there is no good match, we wait for a good applicant for that specific pug. If there is a good match, the applicant is contacted and a home visit is conducted. If all goes well, the applicant is contacted again to set up a time to sign a contract and take possession of the pug.

Go meet their pets
CPR does not have a shelter. Our pugs are kept in foster homes to better evaluate the dog and find the best compatible home available. AN ADOPTION APPLICATION IS REQUIRED BEFORE A MEETING IS ARRANGED.
