Senior Rescue Pug Gets Spoiled By His New Family

by pawbuzz on in Dogs 37

It's never too early for Christmas when you're a senior dog.

Earlier this year, animal control officers picked up a 15-year-old stray pug named Franklin and brought him to the Suffolk Animal Care Center (SACC) in Virginia. Sadly, no one came looking for him.

Casey White, a caretaker at the SACC, contacted the Mr. Mo Project, an organization in Clifton Park, New York, that fights to save senior shelter dogs nationwide. White emailed and asked if the organization would be interested in helping Franklin find a place to live out his last few years.

After receiving details and pictures of Franklin, Chris and Mariesa Hughes, cofounders of the Mr. Mo Project, were “hooked,” Mariesa Hughes told The Dodo.

The organization, which had recently lost three of its senior foster dogs, decided to not only take him in, but to celebrate an early Christmas with Frank, despite it being February when the dog came into its care.

Loving Moses, running the project and fostering and losing Jack (34 days) Iggy (11 days) and Stanley (31 days ) we have learned that you can never take even one day for granted. Even though Franklin is a seemingly healthy old man, we wanted to make sure he has every experience that loved dogs have throughout their life, so we made today Franklin's First February Christmas! The video is long, but it's worth it, we hope you enjoy it as much as Frank did ❤. Merry Christmas !

Friends of the Hughes family transported Franklin to their home, which they call “The Dog House,” in upstate New York. When he arrived, Franklin was underweight and needed a good bath and ear cleaning, but was otherwise happy to meet the other eight dogs living at The Dog House at the time.
