PUG OF THE MOMENT
| Beignet | PH ID: #909 |
| Beignet is a 5 year old fawn male. Beignet (or Bennie as we call him) has some learning and retention issues. He has some residual neurological damage from a stroke or injury. This makes him require a special owner who can provide and reinforce structure and routine. He's active, playful, loves toys, walks, and is also cuddly. BUT, if you have other dogs (which he does like), you have to be prepared to play referee since they are not as tolerant of his special needs as humans are. He forgets, has poor boundaries, and doesn't understand why he's getting growled at, making fights likely if a strong owner doesn't intervene. You also have to be vigilant, since he will eat toys whole, and has the surgical scars to prove it. Crating, discipline and routine are your best friends when dealing with him. I love our special needs Bennie, but have spent many hours with his parents in previous homes helping them deal with his issues of poor memory, short attention span, etc. He is doing very well in his current foster home, so we believe the right forever home for him is out there. | |
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!
