More, More, More Pugs on the way to Rescue this week!

Foster Homes Desperately Needed! Please contact us if you are able to let a little Pug crash at your place until we can find forever homes!

Blossom

Blossom was set to be euthanized by the shelter but thank goodness they called SNPR! She is an absolute sweetheart. We are guessing she is around 7-8 years old. She has had a rough life by the looks of it, she has had at least a few litters (her tummy sags), she has terrible dry eye and will need drops, and she has a horrible scar the circles her head. Our vet said it could be due to trauma, such as a kick which broke our hearts. She also has a few scrapes around her legs, possibly from being kept outside. Despite this, her little tail was wagging even at the vet's office. SNPR promises Blossom she will only know love and kindness from now on.

Blossom will need at least a dental, nare surgery, and eye drops, along with her boarding. We will get a full vet report tomorrow. We are asking for your help so we can continue to take in these very special pugs who need us so badly. If you are interested in adopting this tiny sweetheart (she is only 14 lbs!), please put in an application.

Mack

Mack is a 5 year old male pug that was surrendered, along with his brother, Tucker. Mack and Tucker went to live with a family after their owner died, but the family had to give them up because their big dog started attacking them. They are hoping someone else can give these lovable pugs a better life. Mack and Tucker can be adopted together, but we think they will do okay separately as well. Mack is the more energetic of the two, and he seems to get along great with other dogs or cats, and also loves to play outdoors. He needs some work on his housetraining, but he is happy, healthy and ready for a new home.

Tucker

Tucker is a big sweetheart, and is more on the calm side. He is more content curled up by your side or at your feet than playing outdoors. He would also do great in a home with other pets. He does need to lose a few pounds, but otherwise is healthy and ready to be adopted.

Max

Meet Max, he is 3 years old and cute as can be, weighing in at only 15 pounds.  Max is looking for a forever home with no small children.  He knows some basic commands and seems to be potty trained! If you can see Max being a welcomed addition to your family, please put in an application today!
7-14: Hi, I've been at my foster home for a few days now, and we thought we should give you an update. First of all, I am adorable. Look at my tongue! Whoever adopts me really should enter me in Pug O Rama's longest tongue contest! I am adjusting to my foster home and foster siblings very well. I love to sleep in the people bed, and I am a velcro pug-I love to follow you everywhere, I don't want to miss anything interesting. I've been learning the doggy door too, I'm such a good boy! My foster family is also working on my tricks, they said I am smart and already know sit and stay, and we are working on down.

Ripkin

Ripkin is a 5 year old male pug. He is very sweet, loves car rides, and loves other dogs, cats, and kids. Ripkin didn't do so well living in an apartment, and we're told he needs some work on his house training. Check back soon for an update and new photos of this handsome boy.
7-14: Update on Ripkin from his foster mom: He likes to sleep and the end of the bed during the night and on the pillows during the day when he needs to snooze. He absolutely LOVES the pool and is just happy lying on the raft. He likes to play but is also happy just lying around with the other boys. He’s never out of sight and has become my shadow. He listens very well and knows come, sit, rollover and potty. He’s a very submissive pug and likes to roll on his back with all fours in the air begging the other pugs to play. He is a joy to have around and any family would be lucky to have him!

Oliver

Meet Oliver, he is 8 years old.  He's a healthy guy at 30.2 pounds and is working on losing about 5 pounds.  He is currently being treated for ear infections, but seems to be a happy guy.  He is a great little Pug and knows some basic commands, listens, and responds well.  He's looking for a forever home to help him take the weight off and keep it off, aren't we all!  He'd love a new forever home to call his own... put in an application today!!

I am McLovin

My name is McLovin, yes, you heard it right! It was either that or Muhammed! Why the heck would someone name me McLovin or Muhammed? Well based on my insanely cute looks and the size of my head my new rescue friends at SNPR decided I needed a name that was strong and manly, with a little mix of fun. Hence the name McLovin! I am 5 months old and the vet believes I am part pug and part boxer, or beagle. What does that all mean to you? Well, if your in the market for a dog that is part ball of fun and energy, part cuddler and kisser, then McLovin is the dog for you! I recently found myself given up to the shelter due to an itchy allergy I have on my face. That was an awful day for McLovin! What did I do? My tiny curable rash was clearly not my fault and yet there I was... Puppy Prison! Good thing the folks at SNPR saw my irresistable cuteness and came and rescued me! Wait! Now I get it, thats why they call them rescuers!! No, I am not "slow", I am just a baby! SNPR took me to their "dogtor" and the good news is he said McLovin will be just fine in no time! Like there was any doubt! While I am being boarded at the vet to make sure my skin "itchies" get cleared up, I will also be healing from being fixed. "Fixed"? Was I broken?? I wonder what that means, "fixed", dogtor said something about "no need to worry about babies, blah blah blah". Babies? I am the baby! I love to chew, I love to play, and I love to run and run! Am I what you are looking for? I hope so because as nice as the rescuers and their dogtor's are, I sure want a family of my own! What are you waiting for? Fill out an application. Tell them McLovin sent you!

6-18: Hi everyone, I know you have anxiously been awaiting an update from me! I'm in my foster home, and am waiting for my forever family to come along.  I am a very happy guy who loves everyone, and I love to play, play, play!  So, if you have a dog or two for me to play with, I'm your guy.   I'm also VERY handsome-check out my face without that horrible cone of shame-adorable, right?

Riley and Cody

Riley
Riley is 8 years old and Cody is 7. Whoever adopts this pair is going to get a couple of wonderful pugs, and while we know times are tough, we hope there is a home out there who will be able to keep these two bonded pugs together.  They came from a home where their daddy was very sick and just could not take care of them anymore; he had to board them for at least a month before SNPR was called. All these boys have are each other, and we do not want to separate them.  Riley is deaf and relies on Cody, who watches out for his older brother.  After warming up at his foster home, Riley will put his head on his foster dad's knee to be petted.  Riley is a pretty laid back pug who enjoys sitting in the sunshine.  Cody likes to sleep close to his foster dad and is a great brother to Riley!

Max and Bo-Bo

Max

Bo-Bo

Surprise Surprise! Went to Lied Shelter to pick up a pug, and found out the one we went for had a brother that was deemed un-adoptable and not a rescue candidate either. He was to be put down. After pleading with the Dr. and rescue coordinator, we were able to get BOTH pugs today! They are brothers and were in a home for up to 4 days alone with their owner who had passed away. They are both 7 years old. The neighbor noticed the piling up newspapers and broke in to save the pugs and now they are in the best care possible. They both have major issues, one more serious than the other. Bo-Bo has a tumor on his eye-lid that has rubbed an ulcer in his eye. He also has two bad ear infections and rotten teeth. Phew... is his breath bad!! He is covered in yeast and has a smelly rash from the irritation. Max, who is in worse shape and was set to be killed this morning has the worst ear infection our vet has ever seen. It has been un-treated for years. His teeth are also bad and he is also covered in yeast and rashes. They will have to be boarded for a minimum of 7 days to ensure they are kennel cough and mite free. They are both scared having been through a horrible few days with their deceased dad, and then to be separated at Lied, and now in the vets office. Although we know they are taken care of, its hard to make them understand why we had to leave them there for their own good! But we know that Bo-Bo and Max are getting lots of TLC and medical care tonight! We will post better pictures and an update on how they do in surgery as soon as we can! Keep them in your thoughts! As you know, this will make 11 pugs in 1 month for SNPR and 8 being from the Lied shelter. With the pending vet bills on these two we are hopeful that someone who reads their story will find it possible to donate to their care.  EVERY bit helps!! BIG pug hugs to you all, and of course to Bo-Bo and Max tonight!

5-21: Max and Bobo's foster mommy say they are doing great.  Max is more independent, and Bobo is a total ham and mama's boy.  They were running around when they first got to their foster mom's house-a far cry from the very sick and listless boys SNPR picked up from the shelter. After all these boys have been through, we know someone out there can give them a perfect home!

Sammy

Meet Sweet Sammy, a 5 yr old male, about 21lbs, who just came into SNPR . Sammy gets along great with other dogs, and kids, and definitely a couch potato, wants to be right by your side, giving lots of puggie kisses! Sammy needs a forever home, how could you not love that pug face?

Missi Snuggles

Meet Missi Snuggles. Missi has the distinct honor of being SNPR's 300'th Pug into rescue! What a reason to celebrate!! Not only is she our lucky # 300, but she is also 1 of many in the few past weeks that was saved from the Lied Shelter instead of being euthanized. We got the call from the shelter at about 3 PM and were offered the opportunity to pick Missi Snuggles up or unfortunately she would be put to sleep at close of business today. Missi is approximately 6 years old and was referred to be euthanized because she is squatting to urinate all the time and showing some other signs of crystals, stones, or at the very least a severe bladder infection. Once Missi got into our car she squatted to pee and the odor was so bad that we made the trip to the vet with all 4 windows down and our eyes watering! She was very stressed in the car and heavily panting so although her pictures do look like she is a happy gal, she was quivering in pain and cried the entire time we were in the car. On top of the bladder issues, she is also very overweight and has a lump on her lip, two infected ears and her teeth are in terrible shape. Her nails look as though they have never been cut and one has grown all the way around into the pad of her paw. Once in the vet's office, Missi climbed onto our laps and tried to sit but was so uncomfortable she kept popping back up and "waddling" away. Tonight Missi is having an x-ray and urine analysis to find out if there is a stone or what is going on with her bladder. Tomorrow, depending on the x-ray results, Missi will have to have surgery to flush her ears, clean her teeth, cut out her toe nail, biopsy the lump on her lip, and address whatever is causing the bladder issues. She will also need to be boarded for at least 5 days to make sure she did not come out of Lied with Kennel Cough or anything else contagious. At the very minimum, Missi will cost SNPR $600 dollars to treat. If it is a stone, or worse, her treatment could end up costing the rescue anywhere from $1,000 - $1,500 dollars. We just could not stand the thought of letting Missi end her life in so much pain at the Lied shelter with strangers. Based on how well she apparently has been fed, Missi was probably someone's pet. Due to her illness she was let go. Knowing she would be our magic #300 in rescue, we could not say no at the chance of "making her all better" and reminding her how much people can care about their pugs. Please consider donating toward Missi's care so we can continue to say "yes" when the shelter calls us about these special need pugs. Also, if you haven't already, please consider fostering for SNPR. We have taken in 6 dogs in a week and have 3 more coming in. Fosters are always needed! Thank you so much!

4-16: Missi didn't have stones, but did have a horrible infection and needed bladder repair surgery. She also had a much needed dental, and had her nails cut.  She feels MUCH better, and is settling nicely into her foster home.  Her foster family says she is very sweet, and loves to be petted.  She also gets along with the other dogs.

Thank You for helping Missi Snuggles!
