The man. The myth. The legend… Guppy.
This little gremlin king has somehow been in rescue since September. Eight whole months without a forever family of his own. Plenty of people have loved him from afar, but no one has made it official yet. Luckily, he’s been spoiled by our friend Michelle at @pughotel while he waits for his happily ever after.
We think Guppy is around 6 years old… but honestly, he could be 2 or 97. Time works differently for pugs like him. He may not have won the genetics lottery, but what he lacks in conventional good looks he more than makes up for in personality, charm, and comedic presence.
Maybe he’s a pug mix, maybe he’s not. Bulldog? Alien? Only a DNA test can tell us for sure. He was born without his right eye, has a uniquely shaped head, a dramatic underbite, and the cutest wobbly walk you’ve ever seen.
Guppy came to us from California’s Central Valley after his owner entered a nursing home without a care plan for the dogs. Despite it all, he’s a happy little guy who wants nothing more than toys to chew, a comfy place to nap, and a human to follow around like a shadow.
He’s good with confident cats and dogs of all sizes, though he’d probably be just as happy as an only dog. He can be protective of his bed… but honestly, same.
He’s quirky, hilarious, unforgettable, and absolutely the main character everywhere he goes. Guppy plans to attend our Pug Prom in a few weeks… unless someone realizes before then that their life is missing their soulmate.
