It is Imperative to Know What to Expect from a Pug Rescue Dog
You have chosen to go through with the process of adopting a
pug through a pug rescue group or an animal shelter. You should
expect to be given only a brief background, if any, of the rescue
pug and little health history as it may have been in the shelter
for only a little while. Pugs that are in rescue groups are exposed
to love and care by the volunteer workers as well as training
and proper immunizations.
Animal shelters often hand unwanted dogs over to a rescue group
rather than euthanize it, so by taking the pug off of the group’s
hands, you have allowed another space to open for a new animal
to take its place. Now that you have brought your new pug home,
there are certain things you can expect from it.
Pug Rescue Dog Personality
Sometimes it is hard to gauge what kind of personality the pug
will have. The volunteers at the pug rescue group did the best
they could to expose the animal to constant love and approval,
but that does not always stick in the minds of the animal. Upon
arriving at home, the pug may seem aloof and more independent
than most pugs should be. He/she will mope around the house and
become startled at loud noises or even at the sight of a human
being.
It is important to show the dog at first that everyone in the
home loves it and will care for it. It will most likely take longer
than expected for the dog to warm up to its new family, but the
family can certainly help make this transition an easy one for
the dog. The family needs to be more lenient with the pug during
these times to ensure the animal that is safe in its new home
and the people living with it are going to take care of it.
Pug Rescue Dog Health
There are many reasons why the pug you rescued could have health
problems. It could have been on its own for a long time and developed
more than a few illnesses by being exposed to prolonged periods
of dirty living conditions or excessive hot or cold temperatures.
You should expect a rescue pug’s body to be very sensitive to
all of these things and it would be difficult for it to last long
in the outside world alone. These dogs were bred to be companions
and they rely on a human for many of their basic needs. These
almost guaranteed health concerns will come with a higher price
because of the added trips to the vet’s office.
It may take longer than expected for the rescue pug to warm up
to its new family. No one knows the trauma the dog could have
been through previous to this experience, but it is important
that the new family show the dog plenty of love and kindness.
Within time, the pug should return to the attitude of a normal
pug and show a high energy level and a desire to exercise and
play. Once you know what to expect from a rescue dog, it will
be easier to weigh the pros
and cons of pug rescue.
