Gino the male Pug puppy, 15 months old

This is Gino and he is looking for a new home that's suitable to his needs. He is a charming male fawn Pug puppy, located in Galway. At just 15 months old, this adorable little fellow is in excellent health, having been both vaccinated and wormed. Pugs are known for their distinctive, wrinkled faces and compact, muscular bodies. This breed is generally independent but also forms strong bonds with their owners, making them excellent companions.

He needs a new home with plenty of space especially indoors, a secure garden would be a bonus, (he is used to indoor & outdoor living). He would suit a household with a couple or a family with teenage kids or older. He is good on a leash but would rather laze about, he gets on with other dogs & loves our cat, is trained indoors & crate trained, he responds to simple commands like sit & twirl. He is independent & is happy to be left alone for a reasonable amount of time, once his belly is full & he has a comfy bed he's happy.I know there is a perfectly matched owner out there for him.

Please note Pugs take 2 to 3 years to mature.
