Puggie P. Pugamalu



This is Piggy, henceforth known as Puggie, which is short for Puggie P. Pugamalu, Princess of all Puggington. Though we can't be sure, we think she's between 3 and 5 years old. We got her from the Mid Atlantic Pug Rescue (MAPR) and are pretty excited to be giving her a home.

She came to MAPR by way of a puppy mill. The people (scum) running the puppy mill used and used and used her to pump out puppies and they didn't take care of her at all. At some point, she was too malnourished and sickly to have puppies, so they put an ad on Craigslist, offering her for free. A good Samaritan went by, saw the condition she was in and took her and immediately turned her over to MAPR.

She was heartworm positive, had lots of fleas and ear mites, had to have five teeth pulled, and as I mentioned, she needed to gain some weight. So the initial foster home took great care of her and nursed her back to health and then she went to a second foster home and from there she was put up for adoption.

We lovelovelove her! She's fabulous and adorable and sweet and she gets along swimmingly with Berger. She turns circles when she's excited, she wiggles her bootie when you give her a treat, she snores when she sleeps, and she huffs at Jose when he tells her no. She's going to fit in just fine here :)
