Meixiu Mei has been adopted. Happy Tail coming soon!
Meixiu Mei is a 5.5-year-old owner surrender who has just arrived at Appalachian Pug Rescue. She’s a sweet, sensitive girl who is settling into her Maryland foster home while we complete her full medical evaluation.
This little lady came to us a bit overweight at 30 lbs, so she’s starting a gentle weight-loss plan. She’s also a picky eater with a sensitive stomach, and she has a known allergy to Zoysia grass, so we’re keeping a close eye on her environment and diet. She has one curly nail on a back foot that we’ll address during her vet visit.
Personality & Behavior
- Meixiu Mei is a soft-souled, slightly skittish girl who needs time to feel safe. Right now she is:
- Skittish with other dogs, especially big dogs, and unsure how to interact
- Best suited as an only dog
- Not good around cats or chickens
- Happy and relaxed in her crate
- House trained, bell trained, and crate trained
Despite her uncertainties, she’s wonderfully tolerant of care — great with teeth, ear, and wrinkle cleaning, and content to chill in her crate when she needs downtime.
What’s Next
Meixiu Mei will remain on medical hold while we:
Complete her vet workup Address her curly nail Monitor her allergies and stomach sensitivities Learn more about her confidence, comfort level, and true personality
As she decompresses and begins to feel safe, we expect more of her sweetness to shine through. We can’t wait to share updates as she blossoms.
Help us welcome Meixiu Mei to safety and comfort — her fresh start begins now.
