About Us
Angel, the Dog of the Day
Name: Angel
Age: Five to eight years old
Gender: Female Breed: Pug
Home: Seattle, Washington, USA
 
   Angel came to live with us in July 1998, after her previous owner died and the executor of the estate turned her over to Animal Control. She's a pretty smart, very well behaved pug. She loves to go on walks around the neighborhood, but her favorite thing is taking a ride in the car. She also does excellent in off-leash dog areas. Angel's favorite activities include sitting with her people, getting her tummy rubbed, and sitting on the porch in the sunshine. Even though she had nine teeth pulled when we adopted her, she enjoys using her remaining teeth to chew on Nylabones. When she doesn't like something her people have done, she lets us know by sneezing on us.

    So far, our scariest moment was when she had a minor eye injury. Her eyes are very buggy, so we have to be sure she doesn't put them places where they shouldn't go. She had a corneal ulcer (a scratch on her eye) and had to be examined by several different doctors, including an ophthalmologist for dogs. She behaved very well during all her visits and her eye healed quickly and completely.
