Koi is a yellow-tan Pug in Seattle, WA with a small frame and a friendly, well-mannered nature. She’s young, about 5 years old, and spayed. Her vaccinations are up to date and she’s house trained. Koi is looking for a loving home that can help her manage her weight and support her ongoing care.

About Koi

Koi’s foster calls her “a little thicker than a Snickers,” and it fits—she’s got a big heart, a love of life, and plenty of spirit. This girl adores anything that counts as being part of the action: nosing around the yard, keeping tabs on her people, lounging with canine buddies, or curling up for a quiet cuddle on the sofa. Koi’s manners are solid, her friendliness is effortless, and it’s obvious she’s been cherished in her past. Like many pugs, her main challenge right now is her weight. She can’t safely undergo anesthesia for that much-needed dental work and future soft palate evaluation just yet. Continued weight loss is critical for her breathing, mobility, and overall comfort. Adopters must be local to the greater Seattle area and ready for a committed partnership in Koi’s health journey, including regular visits to the vet in Bellevue, WA. Expect at least four follow-up appointments for rechecks, evaluations, and procedures—her adoption comes with two medical addendums to address these needs. Most of all, Koi needs a family who’ll love her now and support her best future. She’s a gem who deserves a soft landing. Click apply to start the adoption process.
