Mario and Prince Oreo Cookie were adopted by Bob & Sharel Cyphers.
Original Story
My name is PRINCE OREO COOKIE. I suppose I got this name because I am a prince of a boy, because I am sweet inside, and because everyone loves me just like everyone loves Oreos.
This is my second time looking for a home through PROS. I was adopted 2 years ago by a family who has now lost their home; and they have to move to a place that doesnt allow dogs.
As you can see, I am quite the handsome PRINCE. I’m up to date on shots, neutered, house-broken, and I have a SPECTACULAR PERSONALITY. I actually have a sense of humor, and love to act silly. I am very affectionate, and get along with everyone – dogs, kids, strangers… you name it. I’m 9 years old.
Currently I am doing fine, but I have been diagnosed with spinal nerve degeneration. This has caused my back legs to wobble and my back feet to sometimes drag. I cant walk on rough surfaces without wearing socks on my back feet or they get torn up. The condition is progressive, and a specialist says there is no real treatment.
In the spirit of full disclosure, I should say I’m one of those pugs who snorts, snuffles, and snores. I hate to admit it, but I am a little pudgy, and a low-cal diet would probably help both my leg problems and my snoring. The vet said I’d better not have dental work done due to my respiratory issues. I get over-heated easily, so should not be outside for any length of time on hot days.
If you are looking for a great companion with a huge personality, and are willing to deal with my limitations – I promise to be your very best friend!
