PUG OF THE MOMENT
| Rico Suave | PH ID: #3259 |
Rico Suave is a fawn male. He is about 2 years old. He was found wandering with no tags or microchip. He is heartworm positive and will begin treatment shortly.
From Rico's foster: Rico was originally found wandering the streets and was scared, timid, very skinny, and frankly, a little unsure how to be a pug. The first night in our home, he howled and barked all night. We do not think he would be comfortable as an only child since he has a lot of nervous energy. Since then, we've put his crate right next to our other pug's crate, and he's able to go to sleep peacefully and quietly every night. To say that he's made leaps and bounds in his rehabilitation is a an understatement. He is 100% pug now! He even acts like a puppy. He is very clumsy, trips over his feet, walks into things, but we just think it's because he's an excited little goofball. He loves to play and will play with every single toy in the toy box. He is great on a leash and pretty much house trained. We are now getting to the point where he's beginning to really trust us so he can start learning some manners and tricks! | |
IMPORTANT FACEBOOK GROUP CHANGES
PugHearts of Houston has maintained a
Group page on Facebook for the past several years. We encourage
past adopters, potential adopters, fosters and all Pug lovers to join us! We love
to post and share photos, heartwarming stories and advice on Pugs.
We have always required that potential FB PugHearts Group members submit a request
to join our group in an effort to control SPAM and unauthorized posts. Group posts
were visible to the public, but only approved group members could post comments
or photos.
However, facebook has recently made some changes to their terms of service which
made the PugHearts Group an “open” group, allowing anyone to post on our FB page.
This resulted in some unfortunate posts which upset many people. It also allows
for unauthorized use of images from our Group and opens our members to breaches
of their privacy. We have now changed the status of our group back to “
Closed”
which once again requires any new members to submit a request to join before they
can post.
This change does not affect any existing facebook group members in any way.
However, with these new changes our
FB Group is now only visible to existing members. None of our posts
or images are available to be viewed by anyone not a current member of our Group.
This ensures the safety of our members as well as the protection of our content.
To become a member of our
FB Group , simply go to our
FB Group page and request to join. Our Administrators
will take a quick peek at your profile to ensure you are a genuine pug-loving person
(and not a SPAM bot) and with one click they will add you as a member. If your FB
profile is brand new or you have a very blank profile, they may ask you for additional
information to verify you are a genuine requestor. Once you are added you can post
and read to your heart’s content. Just remember to play nice and refrain from abusive
posts. We want to encourage and educate Pug lovers by making this a welcoming and
nurturing environment.
So come on over to our
FB Group page and see what’s happening with your fellow
Pug lovers!
