Lydia just arrived at PugHearts and is settling into rescue life. She’s a tiny 3-year-old pug who didn’t have the easiest start, coming in underweight and carrying a host of parasites, all of which have since been treated. Lydia is heartworm positive, so she’s not ready for her forever home until her treatment finishes—she’ll be healthy and available after her crate rest in mid-November. Despite her tough background, Lydia is an unusually sweet, affectionate dog who’s naturally shy but gradually warming up. She’s good in a crate, never makes a sound, and is progressing well with potty training. Lydia loves attention and would thrive as an only pet, ideally in a home where she gets most of the focus. If you’re looking for a calm, loving companion and can be patient while she finishes her care, keep Lydia at the top of your list. Your new best friend is just one click away.
