Ten-Year-Old Rescue Pug Becomes Instagram Star, Thanks To Some Fabulous Drag Queen Outfits
Four years ago, Margaret Korka was volunteering as a foster fur parent for a pug rescue organization in Toronto, Canada. One day she came across Miss Pickles. The six-year-old dog was clearly a victim of neglect and was really obese for her size. In addition. she also experienced difficulty breathing, making her unattractive to potential adopters. Little did Margaret know that the rescue pug was destined to become an Instagram star.
Pug Gets A Second Shot At Life
Wanting to give the pug a second shot at life, Margaret took her home and fostered her. Unfortunately, their first couple of days together were pretty messy as Pickles didn’t warm up to her new home and humans right away. It took the canine quite some time to get used to her loving family. Thankfully, she eventually realized that she was in good care.
Pickles Went On A Weight Loss Program
Once Pickles settled in, Margaret started her weight loss treatment. They worked for four months to get her to a healthy weight and lose the extra ounces. As soon as the six-year-old pug got into shape, the fur mom noticed that she was starting to show her true personality.
In Love With Pickles And Her Antics
She always made her laugh with her crazy antics and was up for an adventure every day. Margaret immediately realized that she couldn’t give Pickles up for adoption anymore as she was already in love with the bubbly dog. That was when she finally decided to make the dog a permanent part of the family.
Shortly after officially adopting Pickles, Margaret noticed that the pup seemed to take a liking to dressing up. She loved to wear all sorts of outfits, and as a drag race fan, the fur mom was excited to dress the canine up in elaborate drag queen ensembles.
Pickles Liked To Dress Up
That was when they started Pickles’ Instagram account, where they would post her fabulous outfits of the day and inspire everybody to embrace their true selves. It didn’t take long for the “drag pug” to gain popularity from there, and before long, they had racked up over 52,000 followers! Watch Pickles’ story here.
