Ash Pug Alvin, TX

…and from the ashes, rose a phoenix.

To know Ash’s background, you wouldn’t blame him if he was bitter, surly, or even skittish.

But despite his past, Ash is one of the most loving and mild-mannered pugs I have ever met.

Due to his history and likely his heart worm diagnosis, he’s a tiny guy at only 16.8 lbs.

You’d be forgiven for thinking he was a puppy but, in fact, he is a mature 8 year old.

I like to think that for Ash, this is his opportunity to experience the joyous puppyhood he was deprived of.

Everything he experiences, he experiences with wonder; from a random treat here and there, walks around the neighborhood, and even chasing dragonflies in the back yard.

Like a puppy, he’s still working on some of the fundamentals such as potty training, but he’s demonstrating a real willingness to do what it takes to be a good boy and I have the upmost faith that he will be successful in this endeavor.

Ash is an absolute cuddle bug but not quite Velcro.

He will give you your space, if needed.

He’s scheduled for his neuter on September 12th and will have to undergo treatment for heart worms for a month or two following that.

After that, this little man will be absolutely ready to find his forever home, forever lap, and to live his second puppyhood to its fullest!
