Critter Details

Bonjour, I’m Beck! The Pug with Pipes, Personality, and Plenty of Love to GiveSalut! I’m Beck — originally from Quebec, so I might speak French… but my foster family speaks English and German, so honestly, I just answer to the language that comes with treats.I’m about 18 pounds of pure pug energy and charm. Don’t let my small size fool you — I can run. I once had a 30-minute race with a whippet and kept up the whole time. Pretty impressive, right? (I also sang the entire time. I’m what they call “vocally gifted.”)Speaking of singing — I don’t really bark… I perform. When I’m happy, sad, or see another dog, I express myself with a signature dramatic “scream.” My foster mom says it sounds like an opera solo, but I think of it as my way of spreading joy. Because of my big voice, I prefer quieter places. Busy streets and lots of strangers can be overwhelming — I like to stick to my calm country walks, where my audience is limited to squirrels.I’m a total people-and-pug lover. I want to be wherever my humans or fur siblings are — I call it “quality time.” My foster mom calls it “severe codependency.” Tomato, tomahto.At night, I sleep in my cozy crate (right beside the bed so I can hold hands, obviously). On weekends, I get promoted to the big bed for family snuggles — my favorite shift of the week.Now, a few important things about me:I’ve got a sensitive tummy, so I eat special food that works for me. I can’t have sudden diet changes or mystery treats — trust me, it’s better that way for everyone.I eat really fast (I just love food, okay?), so I use a slow-feeder bowl to help me pace myself.I recently had dental surgery, and now my foster mom says brushing my teeth is part of my self-care routine. So my forever family will need to keep up with that — I want to keep my smile movie-star bright!My bladder is small but mighty — I can hold it for about 6 hours, but after that, it’s “go time.” I need quick outdoor access, especially in the mornings.And yes… I have a habit of occasionally sampling my own poop (I know, I know — I’m working on it). So quick backyard cleanup is a must.Oh, and I prefer a private potty experience — I like to back up to a bush or tree. A gentleman has his rituals.I’d love a home with another friendly dog and humans who are around most of the time. I do best in quieter environments and would rather not be left alone all day. Older kids are fine — as long as they can handle my underfoot enthusiasm.In return, I promise endless love, laughter, and entertainment. I’ll make you laugh, cuddle you endlessly, and serenade you daily. I may have a few quirks, but hey — perfection is boring.So, if you’re looking for a loyal little sidekick with the heart of a lover, the lungs of an opera singer, and the spirit of a marathon runner… look no further. I’m Beck, and I’m ready for my encore — with you. *located in Utopia
