RECENT SHELTER BLOG UPDATES
PUG OF THE MOMENT
| Keiko | PH ID: #6583 |
Foster Keiko is a tiny, 2 year old Pekingese who came to PugHearts with the third group of China Pugs. When Keiko arrived, she did not walk much due to the pain she was experiencing in her little legs. This poor baby has bilateral elbow dysplasia, bilateral subluxating hips, bilateral luxating patellas and will have mobility issues for the rest of her life. She is currently taking two medications, which have helped tremendously, and she is now playing some and trotting around like she owns the place. She will likely be on these medications for her entire life. She was also treated for a deep ulcer in her left eye, which is healing nicely, and we will be addressing some skin issues as well. While she is as cute as a button, she is also a little spitfire who has no problem channeling her inner Doberman when she feels other dogs are invading her personal space. House training is a work in progress. Possibly due to her legs or possibly due to the conditions she came from (or both), she often has to be cleaned off with a diaper wipe after she potties. Despite all her health issues, she is trusting and wags her tail with gusto. We see more and more of her cute little personality every day. Keiko is spayed and heartworm negative.

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!
