Harlow has had a rough start to life. She was found wandering in traffic, and had a Good Samaritan not stopped and picked her up she might not be here today. She has unfortunately already had puppies and she is only a year old. We have taken care of that, as she was spayed on July 8, 2009. The vet said she is a very healthy 15 pound Pug and is now up to date with all her vaccinations. Harlow has also tested negative for heartworm and started on preventative.

Harlow is a true “Velcro Dog.” She wants to be with her human at ALL times. She snuggles next to you whether you are on the couch or in bed. She will lie in her doggie bed in the kitchen and watch you attentively. The minute you walk to another room, she is following your every footstep. She is your shadow! Harlow requires a great deal of human attention.

Harlow is very timid and extremely sensitive to loud noises. We are working on building her confidence, but she will need patience and understanding to accomplish this. Harlow will tolerate some dogs but does not do well with dogs that are overly excited or aggressive in any way. She acts much the same with people that she does not know.

Harlow enjoys several walks on a leash each day. This exercise is ideal for her since Pugs can be very inactive and are prone to obesity. She should not be allowed outside without supervision due to her flight response, especially to noise. An over stimulating environment would not be ideal for her. She is completely housebroken and has never had a single accident in the house.

Ideally, Harlow would like her forever home to have her human home all day, perhaps an active retired person or couple. She would need a person that will take her out for her walks several times each day and aware of the special care and health issues that come with owning a Pug.

Harlow has captured our hearts, both with her spirit and her cute and cuddly face. If you are looking for a gentle, sweet, loveable little girl, and would like additional information, please email her foster parents at: anniec-103@comcast.net.
