Hello!  My name is Suzy!  I am just 3 years old.  I was previously a breeding dog, but now I am learning how to be a pet, and boy it is great!  Unfortunately, since I did not grow up in normal circumstances, I grew up with bad knees.  However, since Pug Partners saved me, they have fixed my knees so I can live a happy and healthy life.  I just had my last surgery on February 28^th. 

I like to be around my preferred people.  I like to snuggle with my foster mom whenever the opportunity arises!  I also love my food, treats, bully sticks, petting, being held and getting lots of kisses.  I also have a dog bed that I like to lay in when my foster mom is busy.  My bed is great!  I am learning how to play with my new fur-sister since my knees are in good shape!  I am also warming up to being her companion.  I would do best in a home with a male or a very submissive female.  I also love to sleep in my foster mom’s bed at night.

I am a bit of a timid pug, so I am not as outgoing as many pugs are.  I like to be near my foster mom when I am out and about.  Loud noises scare me as well as sudden movements.  I do get protective of my foster mom, so I will need to continue to learn that other people are OK.  Since I have been at my foster’s house, I have not been able to do stairs due to my bad knees.  Since my knees have been fixed, I am still learning how to do stairs.  Right now, I need help with going outside to do my business, so my foster mom carries me down the stairs. 

I would to do best in a home with older kids as younger kid’s fast movements scare me.  I would also do better in a house that doesn’t have a lot of stairs, unless I am taught to go up and down.  I will need to do exercises and go for walks for my knees as time goes on to keep them in good shape.  I am a pretty independent dog and like to do my own thing when at home (especially if it involves my bed).  Since I am so timid, I need a lot of love and patience while I continue to learn how to be a pet!  Can I be your new furbaby?
