Meet Ditka! This happy little pug is 2.6 years old, weighs 19 pounds, and is ready to discover what being someone's beloved dog feels like.
Rescued from a backyard breeding nightmare, Ditka spent his entire life in a cage. When he finally got his freedom, he didn't even know how to jump onto a couch. Now he's learning that life can include comfort, kindness, and a place beside his people.
Ditka does great with other dogs and brings that wonderful pug personality! Pugs are known for being affectionate, social, playful little comedians who love companionship-and often believe personal space is highly overrated. Why sit near your person when you could be practically attached?
Ditka has an eye condition called pannus and will need eye medication for life. His future family will need to keep up with that care.
Ditka is an Ambassador Dog! His higher adoption fee helps cover medical care for other rescue dogs who need extra treatment to get their happily ever after. By adopting Ditka, you're helping more dogs get their second chance, too.
He's missed out on so much, but this happy boy is so ready for a real home. A soft couch, loving people, and a lifetime of belonging-Ditka's happily ever after is overdue.
