Cody is a cuddly guy. He loves attention and people and is very observant when he goes out. He loves his walks and can walk a long way for a little guy. He does his pug wiggle regularly. He hates it when it gets too cold. He is smart and learns quickly. He loves to be around people and dogs. At first he was afraid of his big foster brother and now they engage in doggie play. He likes to play but also loves human attention at all times. He does not like to be left alone and will whine and scratch at the wall or door. It would be best if Cody had a home where he was alone on a limited basis. When he is home alone he loves to be able to look out the front window. He usually barks at people and dogs but when approached he likes nothing better than the attention. He is getting better at not barking so much. The dogs just need to do their greeting and he is fine. He loves kids, dogs and people.

Cody has never been crated and I doubt he would adapt to that.

He likes to chew on a nylabone. He will play fetch but really likes to play tug of war with his big foster brother who lets him win. He likes to chew on things (i.e. cords) so doggie proofing is necessary.

It would be better for Cody to live with older children, who can understand the dangers of small toys being left out. Cody is still young and likes to chew on things. This could cause a problem, if swallowed.

He travels well in the car. He spent Christmas in London and loved the action and the resident Boston. He could hardly keep his eyes open by the end of the day. The more exercise he gets, the better he is on the leash and calmer overall. He loves his walks in the morning and night but also is more than willing to sleep in on the weekend. A fenced yard would be preferable but any type would be fine. Needs to be able to toilet and mark on grass, bushes, likes to walk in leaves. He loves to sit on your lap or sit by your feet. He is a lap dog through and through and will whine to get up or just jump up. He likes company all the time, period. He will be your little shadow. He sleeps in the big bed where he will cuddle right up.

He is house-trained, but does not ask to go out. Cody needs to be coaxed to go outside when cold out. He will need reinforcement at the beginning.

He is a joy to have around.

Cody has been to the vet for his check-up and rabies booster. Everyone there loved him. His fecal and heartworm tests came back negative and his bloodwork results were all within normal range with the exception of slightly elevated BUN, probably due to mild dehydration on the day of the test. Since the reading was only just out of range and the other urine values were normal, this result is not worrisome. Cody was such a good little guy at the clinic, he didn't even give them trouble with nail trimming. The vet declared him to be healthy. He will be going back in January to have his DHPP booster and a microchip implanted. At home, foster mom cleared up his crunchy nose with a little dab of Vitamin E. He had a little bit of a rash behind his legs due to rubbing of his harness. Putting a larger harness on him resolved the problem. Cody has calmed down a lot and is a very happy little boy, preferring to follow his foster brothers around rather than playing with his toys. Then he settles down on his favourite down pillow on the love seat.

Meet Cody, an almost 2 year old male pug whose family wants him to have a home where he will get more attention. After an anxious first night, he is settling in well and has started to follow the resident dogs around the house. But he is more attached to people and loves to cuddle and get belly rubs from his foster mom. Being still quite young, he has a great deal of energy. He loves to go for walkies and is already improving on leash. He also does well in the car. Cody is already neutered and microchipped. He will be going off to the vet shortly for a wellness check and to have his vaccinations brought up to date.
