Dylan
Update: I had my surgery, and it isn’t good news. Doc says I have Transitional Cell Carcinoma (bladder cancer). I am not a candidate for Chemo, so I will remain with my foster mom in hospice for the rest of my life. I have a good home here and my foster mom gives me so much love.
Update: I am going in for surgery for bladder stones, but as soon as I am better, I will be available again.
Dylan is an 8 year old blind and deaf pug that was found wandering the streets. He is a sweet, gentle cuddle baby that just needs loving and guidance. He is UTD on all shots, micro chipped, neutered and potty trained to a leash.
Dylan loves being around other dogs and kids. His favorite thing to do is lay around and sleep in his bed next to his human brother.
Our Hospice Pug Donation Wish List
As the owner of an almost blind pug as well as a deaf pug with bad eyes, I’d like to “chime in” to say that good eyes and good ears do not a good pug make. Rogan, who has very little eyesight, mapped out our home within days and is now the happiest guy in the pack. He walks up and down the ramp to the bed and knows exactly where his toys and food dish are. He’s housebroken and uses the doggie door with no problem at all. His sister, Ginger, is deaf and also has bad eyes. Ginger relies on the smells around her, and she definitely takes her “cues” from her siblings. On a funny note, you can vacuum right around her and she won’t even mind!
If you’re looking for a “sibling” for your canine family member as well as another warm body to snuggle with? If so, please don’t pass up on the chance to be loved by Dalton. I believe that, once you get him home and he acclimates, he’ll be a devoted family member who will love you and comfort you and bring you joy like you’ve never seen!
Having stayed at Dylan’s foster home for a few days, I agree that he will be wonderful addition to the right home. He does a great job of navigating his surroundings, taking big pug sniffs to figure out what’s around. He loves people and gets along with the rest of the pack. All in all, a great dog!
Dylan is a gentle, smart little boy. Dylan was kept in a crate all his life when he came to me and didn’t know how to be blind. He has made great progress here and has since learned how to map his room and get around our house on his own. He is potty trained and
knows his way to the door. He spends a good part of his day laying on the rug in my kitchen. He loves attention and is learning how to be a normal pug. He is about the easiest baby I have to care for. He is a big snuggle pug though. We love Dylan and enjoy every one of his successes.
I am moving to Florida in 1 1/2 weeks. I’ve been looking into Dylan for many months and every time I come to the website he’s still available. I was wondering, at the Meet the Pug at Petco, will Dylan be there?
Hi Gressa, yes Dylan is being fostered near Titusville. He attends the Petco there. If you are able to meet him there, the foster mom will make sure he attends that day. I have forward your inquiry to her. She will be answering you soon.
Hi Gressa, I can make sure that Dylan is at Petco. I usually do the Petco in Titusville but can have him in Orlando if that is where you will be.
Dylan is a very sweet little boy but he is blind and deaf. He can smell food a mile away though. He is a gentle little boy with a routine. when Dylan came to me he had been in a crate all his life and didn’t know how to be blind and deaf. He is doing great and has learned how to map a room and he is potty trained. He will go to the door once he learns where it is. He is a big snuggler too. He is rather tall for a pug but he doesn’t know it.lol Dylan spends alot of time just laying on my kitchen rug. He likes food.
Let me know where and when you would like to meet him and I will be happy to have him there. You can email me direct at juanita.arnold@cfl.rr.com. Thanks you for thinking of making a rescue baby a member of your family.Juanita
My prayers and thoughts are with you Dylan while you go through your surgery. You are such a sweet and loving boy and I wish you a fast speedy recovery so you can get back to your loving home.
Dylan was recently diagnosed with terminal bladder cancer. His form of cancer is progressive and we’ve been told he has less than a year to live. Chemo is not even an option for him. He’s now in hospice care and enjoying all the love his foster mom, Nita, is giving him. We love you Dylan.
Dylan is recoverying from his surgery and getting back to himself. He is an absolute joy to us. Dylan is a gentle, innocent little boy. He loves dinner and snack time. He also loves the touch of humans.
I am still trying to come to terms with his cancer. They have told us that there is nothing that can be done. The Dr’s advice was to just love him and give him the best life possible while we have him.
And so, we shall.
Juanita, I don’t think there is any better place for Dylan except with YOU! Your home has such wonderful energy and the way you love your babies makes me want to cry. I still remember coming to pick up Rogan and seeing how much you love your pugs, especially your little old ladies.
I’ll be thinking of you in the months ahead as you love on sweet Dylan. It’s always hard on us humans when we lose our babies. However, what you do for those puglets is so special and THEY FEEL YOUR LOVE. Don’t forget that! Pug hugs from Leslie, Nora, Ginger and Rogan xo
Our Dylan is slowly reaching the end of his days with us. His cancer is progressing. His urinary out put is declining. He is not in pain yet and we are monitoring him closely. He still wants his treats and lovin. We can’t give him enough right now. We will take every minute we are given. Juanita
Nita, I’m sending my love and prayers to your family and Dylan. May God allow you all a little more time. I can’t think of a better and most loving home for him to be in. You’ve been there for him every minute of each day. We love you Dylan. Aunt Sharon says hang in there, I plan on coming to visit you this weekend baby.
When Dylan crosses the Rainbow Bridge, he will have plenty of stories to tell his pug friends about how much he was loved and cared for by Juanita and her family. Stay strong, Nita. There are so many in need out there, and you have the gift of compassion, which is key when fostering these hospice puglets. I’ll be thinking of you in the days ahead.
I just wanted to tell Dylans friends that we have adopted Dylan. He is now an Arnold. We love him so much and he has become a member of our family as all the hospice do. He will still remain hospice with the rescue but now he has 2 families that love him and are watching over him. He is still hanging in there with us. We treasure everyday. Thank you all for your support and kind words. Juanita
