December 13, 2016 – Flower is a lovely, gentle girl who loves to sit or lay close to you, she just wants to be near. She is very friendly with children and people of all ages. She is completely housetrained and knows commands in French but is starting to learn them in English as well. She is learning to walk nicely on a leash without pulling. She rarely ever barks and is a very smart girl and a quick learner. She likes to play with other dogs outside but is indifferent to them inside. She is indifferent to cats.

December 6, 2016  – Luna is a joy to have around – she loves attention and she’ll definitely let you know if it’s lacking by either giving you the saddest puppy eyes, pawing a bit at you and sometimes maybe even barking – but that is usually if you’re having a little snack and she wants a bite. Luna loves to play with her toys, enjoys playing fetch and really likes belly rubs. Luna can sometimes play a bit rough and mistakes your hand for a chew toy but, with a bit of training, she’ll learn to ease up quite quickly. Now, pugs are known for snoring and sorting, and little Miss Luna does not disappoint, but that just make her all the cuter. She enjoys going for walks and you’ll definitely hear the snorting when she’s sniffing out the trees or greeting other dogs. She likes to say hello to all dogs, big or small, but doesn’t seem that interested in playing with them but that could change depending on the dog. Luna seems to prefer human company, especially laying her head on your lap and snuggling up close to you. Luna is crate trained but she seems to be fine left on her own for a few hours and is content to just sleep on her pillow with a stuffy at night. She does get a little anxious in the car so a crate may be best if you are traveling alone with her. Luna still needs to be spayed and should be available for adoption in the coming weeks. Keep checking back for more updates on the beautiful girl.

December 5, 2016 – Luna is doing very well.  She’s good with the resident male Chow Chow and she is getting spayed on December 12.  More info on Luna to be posted soon.

November 17, 2016 – Luna went to the vet yesterday and was vaccinated, microchipped and got some Canaural for a mild ear infection.  Her anal glands were also expressed.  Luna is still in heat so we have to wait before getting her spayed.  She’s doing well and is adapting to her new surroundings.  She loves to go for walks.

November 15, 2016 – Luna came in last night.  She’s a 3 year old female who hasn’t had an easy life so far.  Luna is not spayed and not up to date in he vaccination.  She will be going to the vet in the coming week for a complete check up and to schedule her spaying surgery.  Stay tuned for ore on this pretty girl as we get to know her more in the coming weeks.

February 28, 2017 – Sorry for the delay in this update.  Luigi’s second surgery didn’t work out and he is back to his foster family.  A 3rd surgery will be performed on March 13 and this time, our sweet boy will stay at Alta Vista Animal Hospital for the week under sedation so he was get the best chances for a successful outcome.  Luigi is a sweet boy and we are hoping that the next update will be full of positive news.

January 25, 2017 – Luigi continues to do well.  He is gaining a bit of weight, has a healthy pug appetite.
Get along with other dogs.  Does not like cats!  He seem to be afraid of them, so no cats in his future.
He’s a quirky little guy, always doing something funny.  Like walks, but not too long.  And hates the cold.  His favourite spot to lie is in front of the hot air vent in our kitchen, on a big thick furry blanket.  Right in the way, but we don’t have the heart to move him.  He will go see Dr Thatcher on the 30th, and will have second surgery that day if needed.  We are hoping for a miracle, that the hole closed on the right side…but very unlikely we were told.

December 28, 2016 – Luigi is doing exceptionally well, his demeanour is changing to be more engaged and playful.  This guy LOVES being the centre of attention.  When we have company he will position himself in between them and rest his head on their laps…until they give him the appropriate ohh and awes.
He has a pug like appetite and will eat very enthusiastically.  We still provide soft food, by soaking his kibbles in hot water for several hours so they will not hurt his mouth. He still has not had any pure water, we have been giving him a small amount of goats milk with water and he drinks this.  It is full of essential vitamins and minerals and helps with his calcium intake.  I do think he has become accustomed to this and that’s why he doesn’t drink plain water.
Perhaps drinking water hurt initially and that is why he is reluctant to drink it.
He sleeps in the big bed.  He is a good sleeper but does snore sometimes.  He likes to be kept warm and will wrangle under the covers if he gets cold.
We look forward to the surgical followup and hope all has healed completely.

December 13, 2016 – Luigi had a surgery performed by Dr. Thatcher (dentistry specialist) to repair 2 big holes he had on his palate up to his sinuses, he spent the night at AVAH and is now back to his foster family for a smooth recovery.

December 5, 2016 – Luigi is doing well while waiting to be seen by dental surgeon at AVAH on December 13 for his oral nasal fistula. We give him soft food and clean his mouth & gums after each meal.  We have kept his activities fairly limited, short walks & backyard.  He sometimes has a slight limp in the front shoulder after longer walks, but we feel it may be from an old injury and doesn’t slow him down. I think once this is all behind him, and he can exercise more and build up his endurance and muscle this slight limp will disappear.  Luigi loves car rides and will intently look out the window and watch the world go by. He loves everyone, and everyone loves him. He always gets pats and greetings from passerbys and wins the hearts of everyone that comes to our house.  Quite honestly, Luigi is very easy to have. He enjoys the resident pugs, although they are jealous of him because he is always the centre of attention because he is so cute. He sleeps well, and never has made any mess in the house.
All he needs is hugs and cuddles and a warm comfy cushion to sleep on when he is alone.  Luigi is amazing and we can’t wait until he sees the dentist and gets to move on with his amazing life!

November 22, 2016 – Luigi is available for adoption.  He is doing very well, has been brought to date in his vaccination and microchipped.  Luigi should go to a home with no cats.

November 17, 2016 – Luigi was at the vet on Tuesday and was neutered and had his teeth cleaned.  He lost 8 teeth and already had many missing……Luigi is back to his foster family for a smooth recovery.  Luigi is 20lbs.

November 15, 2016 – Luigi is a doll, he is the sweetest, calmest, cuddliest pug ever.  He walked in and made himself at home…it’s like he always been a member of the family.  He gets along well with dogs and, is up for pats and cuddles from anyone who stops by the house.  Luigi is completely housetrained, has perfect manners and is practically, the perfect pug.  He is all around a very lovely dog.  Luigi is getting neutered and having his teeth cleaned today.

November 13, 2016 – Luigi came in on Friday.  He is an owner surrender.  Luigi is a sweet boy and very well behaved.  He is not neutered yet.  Luigi will be going to the vet this Tuesday to get neutered and get his teeth cleaned.  Luigi is about 7 years old.  Stay tuned for more info on this beautiful by as we get to know him better.

January 8, 2017 – Santa came in a bit late for this sweet boy but it was worth it…….Bugsy has been adopted by his foster mom who couldn’t imagine life without him.

December 7, 2016 – Bugsy and Koko are an adorable couple.  They love to snuggle up with each other, especially after a busy day outside. Bugsy is a little more vocal than Koko in the morning, but only because he is so anxious to see his humans and say good morning.  He runs around in circles and then will bounce up and down until he gets a proper morning greeting.  Koko is a little doll, but is quite willing to join Bugsy in the morning to let you know that she is ready to start her day. Both have lots of energy and spunk.  They can be quite comical to watch.  We love having them around, but it would be so wonderful to give them a family of their own for Christmas
