Brother wants a pug & fast, suggestions?

[lv4dogs]

There are lots of pugs in need of rescue. When I adopted casey I was initially looking for a pug, the rescue groups wouldn't give me one because of my swimming pool. Apparantly pugs drowned really easy. I do have a fence around my pool but it has 6 inch openings.

I've been looking at all sorts of rescues near the rochester NY area & only found a few (maybe 5 tops), either really old, can't be with kids &/or other dogs.
I know they are out there though, I guess it's just not the right time in my area.

Send a PM to flamepony, she and someone else here has a pug names annabelle.
You can ask them for info.

Oh I forgot, does anyone know what pugs should be tested for before being bred? When & if I get a minute I'll go search but I am so busy right now.

I know eyes will be on that list.

It's a shame they don't want to drive too far because Vermont has a pug rescue group.

I don't know if I'd be that keen on helping anyone that wanted a dog "fast and "easy" (no long drives). What's the hurry?

Yeah really. I would want to wait, do the research, and make sure I get a nice healthy pug instead of rushing to get everything done and quite possibly make a mistake in the process. Puppies aren't just born overnight, and even then its weeks before they can leave their mother. So unless you find a good rescue group, your brother will HAVE to wait.

I wanted an Aussie REALLY BAD, but knew that I couldn't just go and get one. I have to have PATIENCE, and my patience worked!! We also drove an 8-hour round-trip to pick him up, and to me that was totally worth it. It's sad they don't want to put this much effort into getting a pug for themselves.
