Vivian, a Pug/Beagle mix that many people call 'puggles', came to us in poor shape. She was skinny, sick and her poor little body was worn out from being used for breeding before she was left at the shelter.
We worked on getting her healthy, getting her spayed and putting weight on her. We put her picture on petfinder and it wasn't long before her new family fell in love with her and drove to Stillwater with their other 'puggle' to meet her and took her home. It wasn't an easy transition- Vivian had previously had a tough life and was accustomed to having to fight for everything. She didn't realize she would never have to fight for resources again and started fights with her new brother. Most owners would have called it quits and sent the poor puggle packing- but Vivian was lucky. Her new owners did not give up on her. They sent her to professional training and are now careful to remove objects that trigger fights. It restores our faith in people to know that there are adopters out there that understand some of our dogs come with baggage from their pasts but are worth the effort. We could not have asked for a better, more patient home for this girl! And despite the rocky start, her brother loves her anyway! Her new name is Chili.
"She has adjusted well to living with us, we love her to death"
