This young Pug mix earned the name Monkey Man not only because of his comical face but also because of his extremely playful personality. But Monkey Man does make you earn his friendship first.

Monkey Man came to SoCo Rescue after his former owner, a senior lady, decided she no longer wanted him. She took this 8 mo old fellow to a vet's office with the intent of just having him euthanized rather than try to find him a new home. Luckily for Monkey Man, the vet contacted SoCo Rescue and we took him in. The vet had been providing care for this dog since the former owner aquired him and verified his health.

Monkey Man does have one drawback: he will act very aggressive towards new people when first meeting them. But give him a day to get used to you and he is very loving and playful. But because of his initial actions, we'd not recommend a home with small children. With just a little patience, someone will find out that this little fellow is actually a great companion.

Monkey Man has done very well on his house training, gets along great with other dogs and even cats. He has already been fully vetted, is heart worm free and has been on a monthly heart worm preventative his entire life.
