About Me
Meet Abe Pugoda
Status: Fostered
Estimated Age: 10+ Years
Estimated Weight: 28-29 Pounds
NOTE: Needs to be an only dog; best with a human who is around most of the day.
UPDATE - 11 DECEMBER 2021 (from foster family): Update! At this point, we have now had two different opportunities to have Abe in the house with visiting dogs. He barked at the other dog the entire visit (one visit lasted 3 days) even though both dogs ignored Abe. Even when he wasn’t barking, he was visibly anxious having another pet around. Therefore, we truly believe Abe needs to be the only pet in his new home.
We have not crated Abe at all while he has been with us and he has been a perfect gentleman. Although, his separation anxiety has gotten a little better over time, we still believe that his perfect adopter would be primarily home based and willing to spend lots of time lounging with Abe.
UPDATE - 14 OCTOBER 2021 (from foster family): Abe is a super sweet Puggle with the grumpiest face. He is house trained and great with children. For a 10 year old dog, he is quite active and LOVES to go for walks where he does very little sniffing/marking but rather just wants exercise. He also loves to go for car rides and is very well behaved. Although he eventually does okay with other dogs, he barks at them when leashed and would probably prefer to be an only child in his new home. Abe will go in his crate but can be quite mouthy while in there. He prefers to sleep in a human bed, specifically under the covers. Abe prefers constant human companionship to being left alone. If he even thinks he is alone, he does a very pathetic loud whining howl until you reassure him that you are there.
Questions?
Q: Can you tell me more about a specific dog? Is s/he good with kids / housetrained / good with cats/ etc?
A: What we know is in the write up. Our knowledge about any dog that is not in a foster homes is limited. Once approved, our adoption coordinators will work with you to match you with the right dog.
Q: Can I meet a specific dog?
A: We’re sorry, but you must be an approved adopter to meet our dogs. Pre-pandemic, dogs could be met at adoption days, but you still had to be approved to adopt from an adoption day.
Q: How can I adopt a specific dog?
A: You must submit an adoption application and be approved to adopt. You can do that under Adopt – you can also learn about the adoption process there.. It will take about two weeks for an adoption coordinator to get in touch with you. Please keep in mind that dogs that are available now may be adopted in the meantime. But we are always getting new dogs. You can see them on our website.
Q: Can I add another dog to the list on my application?
A: We don’t hold you to the dogs you listed on your application. It gives us an idea of what you are looking for. Plus it will let us know if someone is interested in one of our special needs / hard to place dogs.
Q: I indicated that I was interested in a specific dog on my application, but I see that s/he has been adopted. What happened?
A: We do not hold dogs. Applicants in the queue before you are being approved and may adopt the dog you are interested in before you are approved. But we are always getting new dogs in and your adoption coordinator will help you find the perfect match.
