Story
Meet Bravo! This ridiculously adorable pug came to us from Oakland Animal Services after being found as a stray. We estimate hes about 4 years old, and hes just as sweet as he looks. His foster lovingly calls him Teddy, like the teddy bear that he is, and more than anything, he wants to be loved and cuddled by his people. He adores head scratches and neck rubs and will gently place a paw on you if you stop, just to ask for a little more. A classic velcro pug, he happily follows his person from room to room and has no concept of personal space. He does well with other dogs and kids, but his favorite place is right next to his person. The unfortunate news is that Bravo has a medical condition affecting his spine; he was born with a collapsed disc, which causes some weakness in his back legs and isnt something that can be surgically corrected. He also has some inflammation and early arthritis in his left knee. What does that mean for daily life? Bravo will need anti-inflammatory medication long term, and his activity should be limited to things like wandering around the yard, short walks, or relaxing rides in a stroller. In homes with stairs, hell need to be carried and use ramps to help protect his back. He may benefit from supportive therapies like acupuncture, injections to manage pain, and physical therapy, and his activity will need to stay on the lighter side. The good news is that Bravo is perfectly happy living a slower-paced life. His favorite thing is simply being close to his people and soaking up all the love and attention he can get. Hell thrive with a special adopter who sees how wonderful he is and is ready to give him the support and care he needs throughout his life. Bravo is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and currently being fostered in the North Bay.
