Nugget the Baby Black Pug Needs a Home

Nugget came to A Dog’s Life Photography through our Rescue Group Photo Program. She is in foster care through the Arizona Pug Adoption and Rescue Network. Terri Wood from APARN is taking wonderful care of her. She provided the following bio:

Hi everyone! I’m Nugget, and I am just about the cutest little black pug girl you will ever meet!

I was born on Jan 2, 2010, so I am just about 3.5 months old now. I had kind of a shaky start to life, as my mommy quit feeding me when I was 5 weeks old, and I almost didn’t make it.  But APARN took me in and nursed me back to health.

Speaking of health, I seem pretty healthy, but the vet thinks I could have hydrocephalus, which is a big word (bigger than me, almost!) that means fluid on the brain. I have not shown any neurological symptoms (like seizures), but whoever takes me home to live with them needs to be aware that there is a possiblity that I could have them at some point in my life, and APARN wants to make sure that my new people will commit to me no matter what.

Right now though, I love to play, and I like to chase the bigger pugs in my foster home. I just started teething, so I really like to chew, and I need to have some healthy things to chew on, so I don’t chew on things I shouldn’t, like fingers or the other dog’s ID tags!

I am pretty small, I weighed just about 3.75 pounds at my last weigh in. So I need to be in a home where I won’t get trampled by bigger dogs, or enthusiastic kids.

I don’t get to go to the APARN events, as I haven’t finished getting all my shots yet, so if you are interested in adopting me, your first step is to fill out the adoption application, and send it in!  Hope to see you soon!
