About Heathcliff (Pug) in Norwood

Heathcliff is waiting for you at Pug Rescue of New England in Norwood, MA 02062. Meet Heathcliff 6-year-old Heathcliff is equal parts goofy, curious, and lovable—your classic pug with a big personality and an even bigger love for snacks. Heathcliff was rescued from a nursing home (similar to a no- kill shelter) in Korea by Pug Rescue of Korea on Valentine's Day and he is 100% for certain a LOVE!

He’s very food-motivated (understatement of the year), and once he realized food comes from the fridge, it quickly became his favorite hangout spot.

While he loves cuddle time, he’s not overly clingy—he’s happy to be near you without needing constant contact.
