Joey
Joey here. Or as my foster mom likes to call me, “Old Man Joe”.
It’s not so much because of my age, which is between 6 and 9, middle-aged for a pug, but because of my attitude towards life. I’ve been around and seen it all (including some really hard times) and these days I am happy to live in semi-retirement, you know, joining the guys for breakfast at the local diner, a golf game or two, cocktails at four and the early-bird special for dinner, followed by falling asleep in front of the television. Just don’t ask me to wear any plaid Bermuda shorts…I’m not THAT retired!
Like most seasoned gentlemen, I’m not perfect…my sight isn’t what it used to be, though I get around just fine, and I could stand to lose a few lbs. (but then couldn’t we all?). On the other hand, I am fully housebroken, neutered, love nice long slow walks and have perfect manners. I would never think of getting up on the furniture unless specifically invited! I get along with everyone, including other dogs and cats, but my true passion in life is for my humans. Need someone to nap with? I am a great cuddler and just LOVE naps. Need someone to share that early bird special? Well, DINNER is my middle name! I’ll even help you out with that diet you’ve been meaning to go on…we can BOTH decrease our kibble and extend the evening walk.
Seriously, are you thinking about retirement or are already there and need someone to share it? I’m the pug for you…just contact CFPR and ask for the Old Man…they will know you mean me!

Can a Flagler County resident from Palm Coast (north of Daytona Beach, and south of St. Augustine) adopt from Central Florida Pug Rescue?
Thanks
Tracy,
We have adopted many pugs to wonderful families that live in Flagler County. Joey is agreeable to living up there.
Also- forgot to ask, is he potty trained?
Thanks
Joey is in training. His former owners didn’t work with him, but his foster mom is dedicated to getting him fully housebroken. He wears belly bands while in the house to avoid any accidents.
hi tracy im joey’s foster mom and joey is a great dog. i keep his belly band on him just so we don’t have any accidents. he loves to be with you at all times but can be left alone. he has some eyesight loss but does really well getting around. he does not get on the furniture but loves to have you pick him up and sleep in bed with you. he loves to have a bath and thinks everytime someone turns the water on in the bath tub it is for him. he so laid back and loves when you give him belly rubs. he deserves a great forever home because he really didn’t have a good one before. he is the best.
Hi Ann,
First, I would like to complement this organization…I think the correspondence, and the adoption process between foster moms and potential pug moms are excellent here! Yes, I want to adopt a pug, but I personally feel June (I have summers off) would be best to help my new pug get acclimated to his new surroundings. Because I do work 8-4:30 during a school year, and live alone, I would like to ease my pug into the transition of my working schedule rather than thrust him into it as soon as he arrives. There will most likely be frequent visits during the week from his new grandparents, who live 8 minutes away, once they fall in love with him! If you would like to email me, I will send my address. I know June is a long way off and realize Joey will most likely be adopted by then. When would be a good time to send in an application if I plan on adopting in June? Thanks.
hi Tracy thanks for being so considerate towards placing a pug in your home. You can check the website in the end of May and maybe you might find your forever pug, then submit your application and your life will be changed forever. Once you love a pug you couldn’t be happier, they are the best!!!!
Sounds great, thanks!
Have submitted a application for Joey and some others just in case joey is already taken. He looks like our current but terminally ill “son” Pugsley. We would love to have Joey join our other “son” Zeus who is also a Pug. Hope he is still available for us.
hi dina im joey’s foster mom and yes he is still available. i will be at the petco at altamonte springs tomorrow with joey if you would like to meet him. he is a sweetie. hope to see you there.
Ann…I live in Tamarac, FL so Altamonte Springs is a bit of a drive, however we are VERY interested in Joey! We have filled out an application for him, but haven’t heard anything. Instead we heard about George who is darling, but we are really interested in Joey.
hi dina, joey is a great dog. he does have eye issues, dry eye and somewhat loss of vision. he has to have drops for his eyes everyday. he weighs in around 29 pounds and loves to have a bath. when he came into the rescue he was in really bad shape but he is doing great. he likes to chew on nylabones but doesn’t play with the other pugs. he likes to be next to his human friends. he wont get up on the furniture but i pick him up and he sleeps in bed with the rest of my dogs and me. im sure with daily walks he will start trimming down, he needed to great healthy first before i worked on his figure. he is a sweetie.
Thank you for the e-mail.My pugs name is tiffeny,she is all black witk one white spot on her back toe she is 2 years old and VERY loved and miss by her family.I will give a reward for her return.Thank you for your help.
God bless you! Donna Van Dyke
