Let me also add that the majority of pugs in pug rescue are older and/or have medical problems. Many are from puppy mills, have been bred almost to death, have had no human interaction and it takes months to get them even used to being around a person without quivering and peeing all over themselves.

They need to make sure you're willing to deal with eye drops every day, spending the extra $$$ for prescription medicine, deal with the liver shunt that the rescue group spent thousands to put in instead of dumping it back at rescue the first time it gets sick, etc.

It always breaks my heart when I see a pug returned even AFTER every step was taken to make sure it was a "forever home".
