10 months, Male, Small
WISE is entirely volunteer-run and all of the donations made to our rescue go directly back to the animals in our care. By partnering with veterinary practices that support our work, we are able to save animals’ lives and restore them back to health. While some animals only need standard care, others require more extensive veterinary or behavioral care.
Regardless of which dog you are applying for, we are looking for adopters to support our program with a minimum donation of $850. The donation may or may not be directly applied to care of the dog you're adopting but rather goes toward supporting all of the dogs in the rescue. We appreciate the understanding of our potential adopters. Please keep this in mind prior to applying.
NAME: Blair
BREED: Pug
AGE: 9 months old
GENDER: Male
Home Recommendation: Blair is a sweet pup who is looking for his forever home. He would prefer someone home more often than not as he is a 'velcro dog' and happiest by your side.
Personality: Blair is a cuddle bug at heart, he loves to be next to his person at all times. He is slowly coming out of his shell, learning to play with toys, and following his foster siblings’ lead. Once he overcomes his initial shyness with meeting new friends, he cuddles right up and just wants a good belly rub.
KIDS: Yes
DOGS: Yes
CATS: Yes
TRAINING: Blair loves going on walks and does great with his leash walking. He is doing well with potty training and sleeping in his crate at night. Blair could use more help with building up his confidence. He would do great with a family that has the time to dedicate to taking him for shorter walks at first, and building up to longer and new experiences.
WHY DID THEY COME TO WISE: Puppy mills overbreed to the point where they produce more dogs than they can sell. Dogs like Blair were rejected for reasons ranging from birth defects, being born with the wrong color fur or eyes, or just simply because no one wanted to purchase them. When the dogs are not sold, the puppy mills destroy them, and it is legal to do so. WISE has recently partnered with a group to save these unwanted dogs - healthy, unhealthy, and/or with birth defects - who are destined to be killed for no reason.
