Cisco Kidx is one of the 15 Pugs Pug Luv rescued from a puppy mill in mid September.  He is 6 years old and still has the energy of a puppy.   He has been microchipped, neutered, vaccinated for Rabies, DHLLP, Bordetella, heart worm, fecal and blood tested.  As is the case with dogs that come from a puppy mill they were not housebroken or socialized.  His potty training is a work in progress, if not watched he will mark in the house.  He is crate trained and gets along well with children.   He is still somewhat skittish which over time will resolve itself as he learns to trust people more and becomes more accustomed to noises and sudden movements.  Patience will be the utmost to acclimate him to human interaction, noises also movements and to gain his trust to learn what it is like to be cared about, loved and in a situation where they are not just used to produce puppies.  Patience will also be very important with regard to his potty training as with any dog when relocated they must learn to tell you and you must learn to read them about potty signals.  This will be even more important with these Pugs as the movement from the puppy mill, to the vet, to a foster home and again to their new home may be traumatic for them.  The potty training that has taken place  may revert until he is acclimated to his new home.  If you are not prepared for all of the issues that are part of the process, do not apply to adopt one of these Pugs.
