Where do you intend for the pug to sleep? *

Are you aware of pugs’ health problems? *

Are you aware that pugs can be difficult to potty train? *

I will work kindly with the rescue pug using positive reinforcement to pottytrain.
I require a rescue pug that is fully pottytrained.

Do you understand that pugs shed an extraordinary amount, 365 days a year, and no amount of grooming will prevent you from having pug hair on your clothing, furniture, or floors? *

Are you aware that pugs snore, often loudly? *

Are you aware that pugs expel a large amount of gas (and that it does not smell like roses)? *

Pugs are companion animals and were bred solely for companionship. It is inherent to their nature; your rescue pug will want to be with you constantly. Are you prepared for this? *

Do you have experience helping a pug/dog with the following:? Check all that apply. *

Please let us know anything else that would make you an ideal candidate for adopting a rescue pug.
