Here's what the humans have to say about me:
I have been up for adoption for 681 days. Don Vito is a precious little guy that just turned one in April. His daddy is helping protect our country in Iraq and there was just no time for Vito with two small children to take care of by mommy. He is the sweetest little guy and just loves to be held or play with his rubber piggy or suck on his stuffed beaver. He is so wrinkled he looks like a Sharpei but is 100% pug. Even his little feet are wrinkled. Vito is such a love and will make some lucky family a wonderful addition. For a youngster he is very mellow and laid back. He gets along great with all his foster brothers and sisters and even went to a pug meet up the other day and did fine. He is still a bit confused with his new surroundings so we are hoping he can be placed quickly to start his new life. If you have been looking for a young pug boy, this little fella might be just the one. If you would like to adopt Don Vito, be a Virtual Foster or just make a donation, contact us at homewardboundpugs@cox.net. Don Vito is currently on medical hold.
UPDATE Don Vito has been a very sick little boy. Two weeks after we got him he started showing neurological symptoms and was immediately rushed to the vet. All his liver values were off the charts and it was determined he had a liver shunt. He spent a week in the hospital trying to get his seizures under control, receiving IV fluids and meds. He finally got to come home but because of his liver not functioning he is blind. He was strong enough for surgery in late December and although he has come a long way, we don’t know if we will ever see the puppy he once was. As you can imagine, his vet bills are extensive and he sure could sure use some pug angels to help out. We will continue to evaluate him and determine if and when he might be ready to be adopted.
