Story
Meet Latte! ☕️🐾💕
Location: Troy MO
Adoption Fee: $550
This little girl just exudes love, cuddles, and pure Pug personality! She is ALL PUG—with the
snorts, over-the-top playfulness, crazy zoomies, endless kisses, and her two speeds: sleeping or FULL SPEED AHEAD! 🤣
Latte is an extremely happy girl who loves everything and everybody! Toys? ❤️ Food? ❤️ Water? ❤️ Her puppy friends? ❤️ Foster family? ❤️ Foster dogs and cats? ❤️ Everyone is her friend!
Latte’s initial vetting did identify some opacities in both eyes. Because brachycephalic breeds have prominent eyes, they can be more susceptible to eye injuries and other eye concerns. Latte has been thoroughly evaluated and is currently receiving treatment. She will be re-evaluated next week, and we will follow the recommendations of our veterinary partners.
What we see every day is a happy, playful puppy who doesn’t seem to let her eyes slow her down one bit! She plays with her toys, enjoys her meals, and navigates her world with plenty of Pug enthusiasm. She is also a very good girl about receiving her eye ointment. 💕 At her upcoming visit, she will receive the next vaccines in her puppy series.
On intake, Latte tested positive for Giardia and has completed treatment. She has also started monthly Sentinel heartworm prevention, which should continue year-round. No other concerns were identified during her intake vetting.
Latte has a wonderful appetite and is currently eating Nulo Puppy Kibble with freeze-dried raw toppers, along with probiotics and powdered pumpkin to help support her gut as it continues to recover from Giardia and medication. And yes—she LOVES her water bowl! With all those crazy Pug zoomies, she definitely works up a thirst! 😂💦 We recommend continuing her on a high-quality diet through puppyhood and beyond to help support a healthy, happy future.
During the day, Latte spends time in a large puppy-penned room filled with all kinds of toys and puppy friends. Weather permitting, they enjoy safe outdoor play and socialization with the foster dogs. Because Latte is brachycephalic, she will not tolerate heat as well as some other puppies, so outdoor activity should be limited on warmer days.
When she isn’t running at full speed, Latte can usually be found napping in an open kennel—or wherever she happens to decide looks comfortable! 😴
Latte is still learning her puppy social graces and currently believes everyone should want to play at her enthusiastic level! 😂 Because of this, a home with a senior or very laid-back dog may not be the best fit. She would do best with a family who understands puppy energy and can help her learn when it is time to play and when it is time to settle.
We also recommend that her family have a puppy pen or safe space where Latte can relax, nap, or enjoy some independent play when her humans need to cook, eat, do chores, or simply have a little puppy-free time.
We are going ahead and opening applications for this sweetheart, but we want applicants to understand that her eye concerns are still being evaluated. We do not yet know what her veterinarian will recommend following next week’s recheck, and there may be ongoing care or treatment needed in the future. Anyone considering Latte should be prepared for that possibility.
We will share another update after her upcoming veterinary visit when we have more answers. ❤️
For now, there is one thing we know for sure…
Latte is one happy little Pug who is absolutely overflowing with energy, kisses, and love—and she is just waiting for the right family to fall completely in love with her! ☕️🐾💗
