Story
Small Male Pug Adult | Weight: 27 pounds
While it might be several weeks until the Pittsburgh Steelers training camp begins, Franco is ready to go right now!
This handsome boy is approximately 8-9 years old and weighs about 27 pounds. He’s on a weight loss journey, but like his foster momma tells him, “we didn’t gain it in a month, buddy, so we’re not gonna lose it in a month!” Slow and steady wins the race, although there is nothing slow about this guy. He may be 8 or 9, but he still has the moves. From the moment he wakes up in the morning (more about that in a bit), he bounds off the bed and down his doggie steps to find a favorite stuffie, which changes by the hour most days. He’s a gentleman, though, and never destroys them.
And speaking of being a gentleman, this boy will not wake you at some ungodly hour in the morning to go out or be fed. In fact, he’s typically still snoozing while his foster mom has already finished her coffee! He is well-mannered and will sit while being leashed and unleashed, takes treats gently, and walks nicely on leash (after an initial pull or two). He knows several commands, including “come, sit, place, stay,” and is working on “down.”
Franco loves to be near his human, either in a dog bed in the same room as you or curled up on your lap. One of his favorite things to do is burrow under a blanket with his stuffie and rest his head on some part of your body. He also enjoys a good game of tug. And while he may be small, he is mighty, and takes his guard duty seriously, although he is a bit of a couch potato and believes no day is complete without several good naps.
Franco is house-trained, crate-trained, and is fine with other dogs. Cats, not so much. He would do best in a calm household without small children. He is neutered and up-to-date on vaccinations.
If you’re looking for a loyal and loving best friend, Franco would be a great addition to your team!
