About Jacques

Jacques is a 7-year-old, 20-pound Pug who has faced his share of challenges. After being surrendered due to food reactivity, he developed a serious lung infection while at the shelter. Fortunately, he made a full recovery at Pug Nation and is now ready to find a loving home. This little guy has some quirks that require understanding. He resource guards around food and is sensitive about his neck, so he might react if he feels cornered or threatened. He'll thrive best in a home without small children and needs an experienced dog-savvy adopter who can recognize his signals and respect his boundaries. With the right guidance, Jacques is a bright and food-motivated learner. Despite his past, Jacques is capable of forming deep connections, especially with other calm dogs who help him feel secure. This isn't just a pet; it's a journey with a dog who has known hardship and is learning to trust again. If you're ready to commit to a dog who requires patience and understanding, Jacques may just be the companion you've been looking for. Click apply to start the adoption process.
