We've only just recently recovered from the loss of our last dear companion, and began cruising the Interwebs looking for what might come next.
My wife sent a message to a former co worker, but the woman had no pug puppies available.
A quick check of the website for APARN (
www.aparn.org) found this description:
RASCAL & TEDDY – 4 & 6 YEARS – MALES
Hello potential new family! We are Rascal (fawn 4 yr old male) and Teddy (black 6 yr old male) and we would love to find our forever home! We MUST stay together. We get along fine with other pugs, and while we do know how to share a lap or a bed, we would really prefer to have a home where we are either the only dogs, or perhaps there is one more older dog. We are both in good health, and have no special needs – other than as much lap time and attention as you can give!
Our only real requirement is a home with no children/grandchildren. We are laid back pugs, and prefer a very calm house. We just want to relax and watch tv with you, and snuggle with you under your blanket when it is cold. If we sound like a pair you would like to meet, please submit your application!
WOW, this kinda sounded like a pair of dogs that needed us. We contacted Terry at APARN, and learned that they came from an older couple. The wife passed away, and the husband was unable to care for them. The owner left a stipulation that the two dogs be adopted only as a pair.
Fast-forward the calendar to January 31st.
