Pug Pros

Pugs Available for Adoption

We are pugs needing to be rescued because we have lost our homes! If you have love to give to any of us, please contact PROS. 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!

	Hi I'm DJ, an 11 to 12 year old pug, who lost his home as my owner died. I'm a little shy around men and sometimes around people in general. I love to have a tummy rub. I am housetrained and love to go for car rides or long walks. I get along with the other pug in my foster home. I'm looking for my new forever home.
	Achilles is a 4 yr old neutered male pug who came into Rescue with Apollo. I’m up to date on my shots and will be going to the vet soon for a checkup and I’ll be ready for adoption. I have had some obedience training and I love to cuddle with my human. I’m told that I’m a quick learner and I’m housetrained. I’m afraid of cats.
	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.
	Sofie is 7 yrs old. Her owner gave her up simply because they didn't want her any more. Sofie is timid when you bend to put a leash on her or go to pet her. She gets a bit anxious when she rides in a vehicle but her foster home is working on this. Sofie gets along good with other dogs. She likes people. She walks well on a leash and goes to the dog park everyday. She should not go to a home with a child under 10 yrs of age. She wants to chase cats something she picked up from her foster brother. If you tell her leave it, she will stop. Sofie is just a few pounds over weight and is on a pug diet. She's a very well behaved lady with a sweet demeanor. She will receive a dental cleaning and a general health check before she is available for adoption.
	Apollo is an approximately 4 yr old neutered male pug who came into Rescue with Achilles. I like children, people, cats and other dogs. He is delightful!. He's so good, a total love and well behaved. He is relaxed and plays with other dogs, he has become one of the "pack" in his foster home. He is a true people-dog, following his foster mom around. He love to touch and kiss you--sits on your lap (although he barely fits), sleeps on you etc.
	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.
	Hello my name is Carson and I'm 4 yr old black male pug. I'm a pretty mellow guy, I love other dogs, cats and I even like children very much! I like to go on walks and I'm real easy to get along with. I currently have some skin issues that are being treated. My former owner could not longer take care of me and gave me to PROS so I can find a new forever home. Once I get over my skin issues I will be neutered. I'm currently on Medical Hold. Update 8/4/08: Carson has recovered from his skin issues. He is no longer Medical Hold and is available for adoption.
	Hi I'm Missy and I'm an 8 yr old spayed Chug (pug/chichuaua mix) I got out and got hit by a car and I have had some surgeries but my leg is not healing correctly. I may have to have my leg amputated but once it is healed I should do great without it.
	Hi I'm Pete and I'm a fawn 1 and½ yr old male pug. Everyone says what a good looking boy I am. I love other dogs so I would like to be in a home where I could play. I just had surgery to fix a luxating patella whatever that is. I am on MEDICAL HOLD until I have recovered and then I may have to have the other leg done.
	Hi I'm Marcie and older black female pug from a shelter. I came into Rescue with flea dermatitis, mammary tumors and still need to be spayed. I will be going to the vet soon. I'm active and can be an escape artist. I also get along with the other pugs in my foster home.
	Hi I’m Parker, I’m a former PROS pug who got lost and ended up in a shelter and no one ever came back for me but PROS did. I’m about 8 years old and a handsome fawn color. I was not well taken care of as my teeth are very bad so I'm getting a dental and then I'm ready for a new and forever home.
	Hi I’m Wesley and I’m an 8 yrs old active fawn pug. I got lost and ended up in a shelter and no one came to get me back. I’m on the smaller side for most male pugs that come into Rescue. My shots have been updated and I have dry eye for which I get ointment. I also have ear infections which are being treated. I will be going to one of PROS vets soon to get neutered. I get along with the other pugs in my foster home and I'll be ready for a new home soon.
	Hi, I'm Maisy a 3 yr old black female pug. I have been to the vet and had the "works including getting my shots updated, spayed, micro chipped and a heartworm test (which was negative). I am being treated for a bladder infection. I like to follow my foster mom around and I am learning to use the doggie door. I can get in the using the doggie door but haven't quite figured out how to get out using the doggie door. My foster mom says I'm a larger size female but only need to lose 1-2 lbs. I'm just a big girl, very sweet and loving. I get along with the other pugs in my foster home. I need to have my housetraining re-enforced.
	Hi I’m Carrie and I am a fawn 7 mo old female that came into Rescue with demodectic mange. As you can see how cute I am and I’ll be going to the vet soon for a checkup and when the vet’s says it’s OK I’ll get what they call spayed so I won’t have puppies. As you can see from the Rescue website there are just too many people turning in their pugs for various reasons. Carrie is on MEDICAL HOLD. Update 5/2/08: Carrie still has Demodectic Mange and is still under going treatment. She will be re-examined in 3 months. Update 8/4/08: Carrie was re-examined on July 3, 2008 and she still has Demodectic Mange. She will continue to under go treatment.
	Senior Beautiful Becky was turned in to PROS by a military family who was moving and couldn't keep her. She is a 9 or 10 year old sweetheart who loves to sit by your side and chew on nylabones. She is a bit heavy right now so she is on a diet. She has a collapsing trachea (which will benefit from weight loss) which seems better already and she also has chronic ear infections and can't hear very well. Becky is so soft and fluffy and is a beautiful apricot color. She is sweet with children and gets along great with other dogs. June 2008 Update: Becky has slimmed down quite a bit! Now 5 pounds lighter, her trachea problem is hardly noticeable and she only coughs maybe once a week. She can run and romp and breathe much easier! Its amazing what a difference a few pounds can make to a little pug. Her ear infections have also cleared up, but due to her past chronic infections, her ear canals will always be needing 3-4x per week cleaning to make sure they dont come back. She's ready to be YOUR pal and perform her ridiculous post-bath doggie bed freakout for you -its hilarious!
	Morrie's age has been estimated to be between 4 to 6 year old. He is a neutered male pug who is very active and just loves to give kisses. He's affectionate and a very happy Pug. Morrie is a bit food and toy possessive with other dogs so he'd love being the only love in your life.
	Pansy is an older fawn female pug who was neglected. She will need to be spayed, have palate surgery and have either a hernia repaired or tumor removed. She is on the thin side but is still a happy girl. She does know how to sit on command. PROS is seeing more and more older neglected pugs coming into Rescue. Please consider adopting an older pug.
	Senior Auntie Mae is and older female pug, maybe 10-12 yr old who was not well taken care of. She is housetrained and is delightful to be around. She gets along with other pugs. She barks only when it’s feeding time. If you are looking for an older four legged friend Auntie Mae is for you.
	Senior Buster is approximately 10 years old but try telling him that. He's a black male neutered pug who is very obese and on a very strict diet. He's healthy, loves to play with stuffed toys and drop them in his water bowl. He is very much a snuggle Pug but is active, loves walks, other dogs, negotiates stairs with no problems and he's looking for a new home.
	Special Needs: Mollie is an 8 to 9 yr old fawn spayed female who has been diagnosed with Diabetes and she needs insulin twice a day. Her eyesight isn't really great but she can still see her way around and her eye medications really help. Mollie would love a new home and PROS is willing to pay for her medications if someone would like to provide her with a home and love. Pug Hugs and Kisses to Mollie's Sponsors: Doranna and Steve Grech are sponsoring Mollie. Thank you Doranna and Steve.
	Diva is an 8 - 10 year old, sweet, fun, lovable little dog who would work well in a household with no other dogs or with one other mildly playful dog for companionship. She loves people but because she is afraid of sudden movements and loud noises she would do better in a home with no children. She is on a special diet and needs someone who is conscientious about monitoring for any gastrinomical upset due to chronic pancreatis. Diva knows basic commands and loves to please. Diva is possessive of her food and needs to be fed away from other pets and she can be toy possessive though is improving. She gets along with and plays with other dogs if allowed to get to know them under close supervision at first. Due to a broken pelvis that healed crooked, Diva needs a lot of exercise to keep her limber. She loves to roll and run in the grass and is quite fast on her feet. She tends to lose her balance and hold her head to the side at times due to a possible neurological problem but this condition has not been problematic. Diva is partially housebroken and will use a doggy door most of the time. Confining her to a room or two in the beginning and working with her under close scrutiny may be all she needs to correct this. Diva would thrive better with a home that has someone there most of the time as she "wails" when she's alone. She's a great little dog that makes you laugh and is very entertaining. John and Laura Kilcorse are sponsoring Diva. Thank you John and Laura.
	Senior If you have a squeaky plush toy problem, Duke's your man. He is a sweet 9 year old male who was surrendered to PROS because the family's toddler was too rough with him. He is a little timid at first but warms up after a few days. He loves other pugs and sitting on your lap to cuddle (and hunting the squeaky plush toys, of course). He would do best in a home with no children and is on special diet for urinary crystals. Update: 10/27/07: Duke is very timid and does not like being carried. He will come to you, but does not like being approached. Duke is deaf; however, he has adjusted well to his surround and appears to have no problem with other pug in the house. He has an upcoming birthday on Nov. 1, 2007 and will be 10 years old.
	Senior Mac is a 10 yr old fawn male pug who was a stray and ended up in a shelter. He has been to the vet to be neutered and had most of his teeth removed. This older gentleman is looking for his retirement home. He gets along with the other pugs in his foster home. Pug Hugs and Kisses to Mac's Sponsors: Delmar Orrell and Miss Sally Bobbin (They live on the Isle of Man ) are sponsoring Mac. Thank you Delmar and Sally.
