Adopting a senior or special needs pug - The Facts
Are you hesitant to bring a senior or special needs Pug into your Family? Join the crowd. The vast majority of requests for adoption are for one to five year old, spayed, housebroken females. On the other hand, if you are interested in a happy, housebroken (usually), independent, low maintenance companion, who may even know a few entertaining tricks, READ ON!!!!
Pugs who are seven years old or older are generally classified as seniors. Try telling that to my seven year old Diva Pug, Miss Ethel!!! Remember that pugs can live to be anywhere from 12-16 years old. Most eight or nine year olds are at most middle aged. In general, they may begin to slow down a bit, but that is not always the case. Sometimes it is not advisable to put a senior or special needs Pug in a family with children under the age of eight, but, once again, there are exceptions. What about the senior pug who has been relinquished by a family and has always been around children? These dogs have so much more love to give to younger families, and often blossom once again when placed with another pug companion or a family with children. Remember these angels only purpose in life is to be someone’s companion. Without it they often show signs of depression. So for those of you, who are thinking that the only Pug who will fit into your family is the younger one, please consider these older, special pugs. Talk to the rescue you are working with. They will be able to advise you as to what special needs or senior dogs are appropriate placements for your family. Reputable rescues will not place a Pug in the wrong type of hone, so you should feel secure in their advice. No one wants to re-home a Pug once it is placed. You say you are single?? That’s even better. Some senior and special needs Pugs love to nap all day and are overjoyed at the arrival of their owners at the end of the workday. There is nothing better to wipe away the stresses of the day than to be met at the door by an older, snuffling, wagging Pug. Give it a try!
