Thank you for looking at us and trying to help us find a home to call our own! PROS especially needs to find homes for our older pugs. If you are looking for a mellow pal who wants to cuddle on the sofa rather than run laps around it, check them out!

	Hello I’m Marley, nice to meet you. I’m a 5-7 yr old fawn fun loving boy. I was a stray and ended up in a shelter where PROS came to get me. I like other dogs and best of all I love to give my humans kisses. I have been to the vet and have had my medical checkup and had my shots updated, neutered and microchipped. I’m told I have pretty good manners. I love to ride in the car. I get really excited when I go for walks. I’m ready to come and be your best friend.
	Senior/Special Needs   Hi, I'm Hennessey! I am a 9 yr. old neutered male fawn pug. I was surrendered because my owners could no longer care for me. I had been living outside for quite some time, and I was in very bad shape. I have been neglected emotionally and medically. Pros graciously took me in, and has given me the love and medical attention that I so desperately needed. I am recovering nicely from knee surgery and I will be having nare surgery and a dental within the week. I am deaf and I have very limited eyesight, but even with these little short comings my foster parents say I get along excellent in the yard and around the house. I love attention as you can imagine. I love sleeping in bed with you and snuggling up against your back. I just love it when you play with me, and I am so grateful that I will climb up and nuzzle your face and plant sweet kisses on you. I am current on my shots and I am micro-chipped. I would do best in a home where there are no stairs, due to my knees and limited eyesight. Would you consider giving an older gentleman a loving home for the remainder of my time here? If you do I will reward you with the best companion you have ever had. Hennessey will be available for adoption once his medical clears. Pros could use your help with any donation or contribution to help this little man get back on his feet.
	Hi, My name is Dusty. I am a neutered male fawn pug, age anywhere from 5 to 7 yrs. old. Dusty was found as a stray and by his condition when found, he was not taken care of. I like to go on long walks and I tend to pout a bit when the walk is over. I ride good in the car, and I am good with other animals and children. I am house trained, and I know the command to "sit". My foster parents say that I am very intelligent. I am not bothered by loud noises. I am micro-chipped and updated on my shots. Dusty recently had to have a dental surgery because his teeth were so bad. As a result of the neglect, he lost 12 teeth and a major infection had settled into his jaw, leaving him with a permanent fracture in the jaw bone. Dusty will have to be on soft food the rest of his life, with no hard toys or hard chews. Dusty has had some severe complications since his surgery. Pros is asking for any donations and or contributions to help with the costs of his surgery. We will continue to update you as to his condition and notify you when he becomes available for adoption.
	Hi, my name is Sunny. I am a 6 yr. old spayed fawn female pug, I was born 4-11-2003. I was sadly surrendered because my beloved owner passed away. I am a real joy to be around, and quite a cutie pie. I love to have fun and I like playing. I like toys, animals, people, and children. I like to go on walks, and rides in the car. I am especially fond of water, and like playing in it. I have a very special toy cake that I love. It acts like a pacifier and helps me to sleep, it is my baby. So if you tell me to go get my baby, I will go get my toy cake and bring it to you. I like treat time, and I especially love to cuddle with you whether it be on the couch or on the bed. I am potty trained, micro-chipped and updated on my shots. Sunny would be a fabulous dog for an active family, who will give her lots of attention and take her with them on outings. Sunny would do best in a home where someone is home a large part of the day. Sunny will be available for adoption once her medical clears.
	Hi, my name is Patsy! I am almost 5 months old, I am still a puppy. I am a fawn female pug, that was surrendered because my family could not medically afford to take care of my injured right eye. Patsy is all puppy and loves to play and romp, however her eye injury is so severe that she probably will loose her eye. Patsy will have to be kept calm while she rehabs from this major surgery. Patsy will adapt and lead a normal life with the use of one eye, it will not detour her or take away from her beauty in any way. Once she has healed she will be micro-chipped. Patsy has been updated on her shots, and once old enough she will be spayed. With the state of our economy and the rising costs of surgical procedures, PROS is humbly asking for any donation and or contributions to help us take care of this beautiful little girl who has already been through so much in her short little life. PROS is not accepting applications at this time for Patsy. When Patsy is ready for adoption and her medical has cleared PROS will update the information on our web. Patsy and PROS send pug hugs and kisses to a'Ronda Thompson for her donation to help pay Patsy's medical bills. Update 06/10/09: Thanks to the expertise of a dedicated vet and the love and efforts of her foster mom we may be able to save Pasty's right eye. The vet's approach is to use medicines and ointment to lubricate the eye and the foster mom is applying the meds and ointment to the eye as specified by the vet. Although the eye may have been saved, at this time it appears that Pasty will have no vision in that eye. Although treatment may require many vet visit, we may be able to save Pasty from the painful experience of surgery.

I am active, and happy all the time, I'm what you would call a party boy. When you talk to me, I get so excited and just wag that curly Q tail of mine, and I have this silly little grin on my face. I do like to play with my stuffed toys they are my buddies. I like treats and meal time those are one of my favorite parts of the day. I ride good in the car, but don't care much for walking. I will walk but I go slow and then it's not long before I'm ready to head back home. I will sit next to you if you want me to, but I really love sleeping in my cuddle bed with my big pillow. I also like to steal all the attention, I want it all for myself but I will share nicely. Update 5/24/09: Bentley's medical has cleared and he is available for adoption.
	Senior Hi, I'm Zack, I am a 9 1/2 yr. old neutered male fawn pug. I was surrendered because my owner could no longer care for me and my brother, (Bentley). I am house broken, well-behaved, mellow, laid back and just a real dignified gentleman. I am a big handsome boy, and I like to be touching you all the time. I love my treats, I am good with other dogs, cats, and children. I really don't care much for toys, I don't mind my bath as long as it is given to me in the shower with warm water. I don't like being wet with the hose, if I see you turn it on, I turn tail and head the other way. I like to ride in the car, and go for walks. I love to eat apples, I'm a bit of a baby when I have to be updated on my shots, but if you distract me I do fine. My health is good, and I am current on my vaccinations. I was raised with my brother, Bentley, but we will do fine being adopted out separately. I am anxious to go to my new forever home. I hope you will consider me, I am a real good boy, and would make a wonderful, loving, and committed companion.
	Hi, my name is "Jeffery". I am a neutered male fawn pug.

	I'm Pearl-li-mae, nice to meet you. I am an 8 yr. old spayed female fawn pug. I was picked up by a family off of Craig's List and then I guess they just decided they didn't want a pug; or maybe they just didn't want me. I was then surrendered to Pros, I'll just say it once; "Lucky for me." I am current on my shots, I'm micro-chipped, and in good health. I was housetrained but with all the shuffling around, I have been having a small problem at times. My foster mom is working on this and is very serious about getting it corrected. I am a very sweet girl, I ride well in a car, and love to go on walks. I just love sitting on a lap and giving sweet kisses. I get along well with other dogs and cats.

	I’m Nora and I came in with Dena we are both 7-8 yr old fawn female and would like to stay together. Please consider adopting us. I have a little head tilt and am overweight but my foster home is working at getting me slim and trim. I have limited eyesight. Update 2/13/09: Nora and Dena are a bonded pair and need to be adopted together.
	How do you do?! I'm Dena. I am an 8 yr. old spayed fawn female pug. I was surrendered with my best friend Nora; (bio above) because our owner moved and was unable to care for us. I am a very tiny petite little girl. I am current on my shots, I am micro-chipped, and in good health. I am house trained, I can be taught to use a doggy door. I am great with other dogs and children. I am very spunky and love to play tug-of-war. I like to play with toys from time to time, but my very favorite past time is to bury my face in something fluffy. A blanket, pillow, stuffed animal, it just has to be fluffy. I am addicted to fluffy. I have some limited sight problems which require an ointment be placed in my eyes daily. However this does not stop me from getting around. My front paws began to turn down quite some time ago, so because of this stairs are difficult for me. One to two steps is fine. I am available for adoption, and if possible, Nora and I would like to be kept together. We will understand if this can't be done, but we're so hoping that special someone will look at us and fall instantly in love and take us both. Update 2/13/09: Dena and Nora are a bonded pair and need to be adopted together.
	My name is Champagne I am a 9 yr old spayed fawn female and my owner could no longer take care of me. I am overweight so I need to lose weight and am being put on a diet whatever that is. I can't do steps so I need a home without steps or an owner willing to carry me up and down the steps as I have a tendency to jump them instead of stepping on them. Steps really scare me. I have been to the vet and have had my shots updated and I am having ear medication put in my ears for ear infections. Update: 11/16/08: Champange is pending adoption.
	Hello Brando is my name I'm an 5 to 6 year old neutered black male pug that ended up in a shelter. I've got some flea dermatitis whatever that is. I have a bit of separation anxiety which is being worked on. I would make a good pug for someone who doesn't work and maybe only one other dog. I had a growth removed from one of my legs which turned out to be a skin tag. Please consider adopting me as I would love to get my forever home. Update 9/18/08: Brando likes to be held like a baby. He plays with toys and chasing ball all the time.
	Mister is a 7-8 year old neutered Pug Corgi mix found as a stray. He was so scared in the shelter that he could not be examined so he had to go to rescue or be euthanized. We found a foster home for him at the last minute and he’s now learning to relax in his foster home where his true personality is now shining through. It is very likely that Mister experienced some abuse and neglect in his home – he is afraid of any hands near his face and needs a home who will be patient while he settles in. Mister’s foster mom adores him and says he is smart and learned his name in one day and now is very happy and loving. Mister does have a bit of arthritis and will need to be on Glucosamine but he has no trouble with stairs. Update: December 8, 2008: Mister is pending adoptiom.
	Spike is a very sick fawn male who is a little over 1 year old. Spike has a single extrahepatic liver shunt. Portosystemic shunts are abnormal vascular connections between the hepatic portal vein (the blood vessel that connects the gastrointestinal tract with the liver) and the systemic circulation. Such anomalies cause blood in the gastrointestinal track to be diverted past the liver, there by limiting the liver's vital functions in metabolism and detoxification of compounds and the body's defenses against intestinally derived pathogens. This effectively exposes the body to toxic by-products of digestion (toxins and bacteria) and mimics the effects of liver failure. Extrahepatic shunts are most common, accounting for 61% to 94% of congenital shunts, and are typically seen in small breeds of dogs. Spike is having surgery to hopefully correct this condition with an ameroid contrictor band. This is very expensive surgery and will cost $3,400 to over $4,000.00. Please help us by donating for this very deserving little pug and help us save his life. Spike and PROS send pug hugs and kisses to Linda Parena. Thank you Linda for your Donation to help pay Spike's medical bills. Spike and PROS send pug hugs and kisses to Linda Goldman and Lynn Maritch. Thank you Linda and Lynn for your Donation to help pay Spike's medical bills Spike and PROS send pug hugs and kisses to Julia Margherita. Thank you Julia for your Donation to help pay Spike's medical bills. Update: 11/16/08: Spike is pending adoption.
