Max is a big, boisterous, ‘goofy’, full of energy 2-year-old male pug!
Before being surrendered to the PDWRA 6 weeks ago, Max had spent most of his life living in a kennel in the back yard. He hadn’t had much human or other animal contact and slept and ate outside.
Initially, this was a challenge for his foster family because Max thought the house was his toilet area, and he would drag his fluffy beds to the garden to sleep! With a lot of coaxing, patience and constant ‘treat training’ Max is now 95% toilet trained and only has the occasional accident. 🐶
Max enjoys the younger pug company and is learning how to play now too. He is still nervous of new people coming to the house and barks at cars when out walking. He isn’t keen on other dogs approaching him and will sometimes pull, and he’s also not keen on sudden loud noises, such as hoovers, banging or lots of shouting.
Max already really loves his foster family but can be wary of new visitors to the house. We’d suggest he wouldn’t be best placed with children under 10 years of age, as he can be very bouncy when excited as is still a strong young puppy.
To help Max to continue his new journey of discovering what it’s like to be a proper loved and cherished pug, he needs a patient, consistent routine whilst adapting to his new environment. He’s now well on his way to understanding that people can actually be a wonderful source of love and comfort, which is lovely to see. 💞
Max is currently located in the Redditch, Worcestershire area and the Area Coordinator looking after him is Nicola, who can be contacted on – se@nullpugwelfare-rescue.org.uk
