Names: Barbie
Age: 3 years
Sex: Female
Breed: Pug
Weight: 14 lbs
Before OMD: A Doberman and two Pugs walked into (after animal control picked them up roaming) the city shelter.....
The Doberman found rescue and we took in Barbie and her male Pug friend. At her intake vet exam, we got the surprising news that Barbie was expecting and a few weeks after she delivered one chunky, healthy Pug pup. Her puppy, Tug, has been adopted and it's now Barbie's turn to find her forever home.
Energy Level: Higher, but she’ll match you. She’ll go, go, go right alongside you but as soon as you crash on the couch, she’ll be on your lap snoozing.
Key descriptors: Diva. Cuddly. Snuggly. Affectionate.
What makes us laugh: Her bursts of energy resulting in spectacular zoomies. She’s a snorer; when you catch her and laugh, she’ll open one eye to know she doesn’t appreciate being mocked.
What we love: How she puts her paws on either side of your neck and buries her face under your chin.
What she loves: Food (She is a Pug). Love. Attention. Peace and quiet. Bones. Toys to bat around like she’s a cat.
Motto to live by: Any attention is good attention.
What that means for you: She needs rules and boundaries. She will be a Pug tyrant if you let her.
Chaos tolerance: Low. She likes things quiet, peaceful, and predictable. She hates loud noises, the vacuum, and any craziness going on around her.
What you should know: She seems to do just fine in public, but is protective of her home and humans at her house and goes into defensive mode. She needs to be introduced slowly to visitors.
What she knows: Sit (when she wants). Coming when you call her name.
Working on: “Easy” to take treats. Jumping. Mouthing. Leash pulling.
Dogs: Depends on the dog. She is currently fosters with other dogs and ultimately does well, but she thinks she deserves all the attention (and will try to push other dogs out of the way), so a future sibling needs to be tolerant.
Cats: Not tested
Kids: No thanks. Seem to make her uncomfortable.
House-trained: Working on it. Hard pass during inclement weather though.
Crate-trained: Yep! Loves her crate.
Barbie is vaccinated, heartworm negative, and will be spayed prior to adoption. She is available for adoption to residents of CT and surrounding states. If you are interested in adopting, please complete an application from omdrescue.org.
