Bubba

Meet Bubba! He's a handsome but chunky guy around 7-8 yrs old. Bubba came into the rescue due to no fault of his own, and has been well taken care of. Bubba is very active and playful. He loves walks, which are needed to help him slim down a bit. He also is great with other dogs, pugs and kids. Bubba also loves people. One of his favorite treats is "ice." More updates to come from his Foster Mom very soon.

McGill

Hey I am a Spotlight Pug! Check this out!

Meet McGill! McGill is a super cute "mostly" pug.  He's about 18 lbs around 4-5 yrs old.  He is super sweet, loves the car, and is a pretty mellow and well behaved handsome guy.  More details on him as he settles into his foster!

Angel

Spotlight on Angel!

Angel is about 12 or 13 years old, she's a spunky and beautiful little girl, and is in otherwise good health for her age. She is looking for a home where she can cuddle and give you lots of love back for rescuing her. She lived the last 10 years as an only dog and while she is ok with calmer older dogs, she isn't a fan of young active ones.
We have many sweet seniors in rescue that need a home-please, please consider fostering or adopting one. We need more homes for these sweet babies who did nothing to deserve ending up in rescue (which is a lot better than other places but still isn't a home so please don't forget about them). Don't let age get in the way of adopting a special little pug who will light up your life.  Angel is doing so well now that she had her surgery to remove her cyst.  She gets around fine, and has learned to use her cuteness to her advantage...she puts her paws up on the couch in order to be lifted onto it to cuddle. Smart gal!

Luna

Meet Luna. Luna is a 1 year old female ball of fire with lots of energy and spunk! Pug mix looking for a family to call her own forever. Luna is a tiny gal at 14 lbs and would love a home where she can have a playmate or two.

Eggroll

Details soon!

Sydney

Meet Sydney a 15 lb little firecracker who is 8 years old. Sydney came into the rescue due to her family having a new baby an not being to provide all the attention she so deserves. She is a little ball of energy, and loves people.  She may get along better with laid back males rather than other females but we will update you after she spends a few day in foster care. Sydney would make a wonderful addition to your family she has such a personality and is quite the little character.

Hyde

Hyde is a beautiful 4 year old pug, who has been very loved and well taken care of his entire life. He's in great shape, except for having bladder stone surgery a couple of years ago and only needs to stay on prescription food. 

Due to circumstances beyond anyone's control, Hyde's family had to make the very difficult decision to surrender to SNPR. We promised we'd find him the perfect home where he can continue to be a cherished member of the family. He's active and puppy-like, so he'll need an active family and another pug to play with. More details when he settles into his foster home.

Dozer

This is Dozer. He's a handsome, very active puppy like 3 yr old, who came into the rescue recently due to his family not being able to give him the attention needs.  He is sweet, loves people gets along with other dogs, and loves kids to play with! He is young and active so he may need a puppy refresher course in manners but he would be great pug for an active family.
 
More updates on Dozer to come once he gets settled into his Foster Home.

Nora

Meet Nora! Nora came to SNPR via the local shelter because she had an ear infection. She spent a few days at the vet getting fixed up and her ears flushed, and went to a foster home. We don't know much about her background but it did appear as if she had had litters of puppies. Our vet thinks she is about 7 years old. We obviously told her that her breeding days were over, and that she will now be spoiled! Her foster mom says she's a great little pug. She's very sweet, gets along with other dogs, and likes to follow her foster family around. She's also doing well with her potty training and is a very happy girl. As a bonus to her cuteness, Nora has the softest fur...so she'd be perfect for cuddling!

Dior

This is Ms. Dior..... She is a 16 lb bundle of sweetness! Cute and cuddly, this 7-8 year female just loves people!
Dior came into the rescue as her family hit some rough times, had to downsize and move where they couldn't take Dior.  This family made the tough decision to surrender Dior to the Pug Rescue knowing we would find her a new forever home. We hope to do just that, so if you're looking for a beautiful sweet pug.... it would be Ms. Dior!

Sisi

Adam and Sisi came to SNPR via the local shelter.  Both had upper respiratory infections, and are on their way to feeling much better now.  Sisi is approximately 5 years old and Adam is about 3 or 4.  Both are very affectionate, and get along with kids and other dogs.  They are lap dogs who love to cuddle.  Their foster home is evaluating to see if they are bonded but as of right now they do appear to be so, and SNPR would love to find them a home together.  It shouldn't be hard, they are adorable and super sweet!

Pogi

Spotlight on Pogi!

Wow! Updated pic!

Say hello to Pogi. He's in rescue because the other dogs in the home were picking on him.  He's about 8 years old and he's currently at our vet getting a much needed dental, and clearing up his ear infection. Unfortunately, Pogi is another pug at SNPR who needs to lose quite a bit of weight. He weighs in at 37 pounds which is just too much for his frame. His foster home will help him get in great shape so he'll start feeling much better soon. Pogi has some medical issues that are compounded by his weight. Luckily his foster home has helped him lost a few pounds already! Now that he is starting to finally feel better, his sweet personality is starting to come out, and he's a bit of a clown!
Update from Pogi's foster family:
 
Pogi is one of the most wonderful and humorous pugs that you could ever come across. He came into the rescue in terrible health, and a month later, he is doing marvelously. He originally weighed 37 pounds, and has now trimmed down to 29 pounds. He still has a long way to go, but his weight loss has made an unbelievable difference on his quality of life. When he first came to our home, he was so fat he could barely stand and could not even fathom going up a flight of stairs. Now he can do both! Pogi has a few challenges that make him even more special. Pogi has a mild collapsed trachea and we recently discovered that he is deaf. He has acclimated quite well to his hearing loss and understands certain hand commands although we are working on more. His breathing gets better and better as he loses the weight and a humidifier at night helps tremendously. The collapsing trachea is mild, which means with his continued weight loss, it should not pose a major problem-he will just need to be watched so he doesn't overheat in warm weather or get overstressed, as he is more sensitive to both of these.  
 
Pogi needs a special family that will admire him for his quirky mannerisms and love him despite his handicaps. He cannot help the cards that he was dealt and everybody needs somebody to love, and that is one thing that Pogi can give you 110%. He is a lover boy. He loves to play, have his belly rubbed, and snuggle. He howls and talks to you when he wants to play and he is the best assistant a person could ask for. He loves baths and to be brushed. He is very housebroken. He loves to go on walks, although right now they are very short ones and walks very well on his harness. He is great with other dogs and kids. He is the perfect addition to anyone’s family. Won’t you consider adding this handsome man to yours?

Cliff

My name is Cliff, as in steep hill to climb. I am 10 years old. My name couldn’t be more appropriate really because as you can see I have quite a climb ahead of me. You see, my mom got me from a shelter many years ago and although she tried her best to take care of me, she lost everything and hasn’t been able to feed me good food or take care of my severe allergies. I have lost all of my fur and my skin feels more like a tough elephant than a snuggly pug. It is really uncomfortable and even painful to say the least. Think about the worst case of poison ivy and imagine it all over your body. That’s what daily life for me has been like.
That is not all.
I smell really bad. Not your average pugs breathe or even pug farts bad, but yeasty infection bad.  I want to love and play with my humans but no one really wants to play with me in this condition. That makes me really sad. It’s not my fault I didn’t get the care I needed, when the problem started. This could have all been avoidable. The dogtor tells the nice rescue ladies that with the right family and lots of medical care and something called “TLC”, I will make a full recovery in time. I am not sure what “TLC” stands for but it sounds terrific and I can’t wait to remember what feeling good and itchy free fells like.
My mostest favorite big wish is to finally be comfortable enough to snuggle again! I sure hope there is a special family willing to look past my extra tough exterior and see that underneath all of this fur, wait… I mean, where all of this fur should be is just a lovable, huggable, cuddly pug who deserves a “re-do” and a forever snuggle buddy. The girls at the rescue tell me that my first step back to cuddling is dogtor care and they need your help. I learned today that lot’s of expensive puggies have been at the rescues dogtor just like me this past few weeks. Those pugs already got this magic stuff “TLC” and now are in homes getting better and better; that’s all I want too. If you can help me with my dogtor bills, it would mean so much to me and to the rescue ladies. Just go to www.rescuepugs.com and click on DONATE. I don’t know what all that means, but I think it will help me get to some “TLC” even faster. And if you think you would make a wonderful snuggle buddy for me, and you understand how important consistent care for me will be, please fill out an adoption or foster application at the web site too.
Make sure you put “Cliff” on your application. Cliff! That’s me!

Wow! Check out these updated pics!

Cliff is slowly starting to feel better. He still has a long ways to go, but his hair is starting to grow back and his skin is not as tough.  The better he feels, the more his personality comes out. He likes to spin for food and gets along with others.  He's a beautiful pug and he's only going to get more beautiful!

Granny Dutch - Guardian Angel Needed!

Granny Needs a Guardian Angel!

Meet Granny Dutch. How adorable is she? She’s our second candidate for our Guardian Angel Program. She is one of the 4 that came into rescue after their owner died. She is absolute doll who is also a little clown and full of spunk. She likes to carry her toy around, and anytime a camera was out, she’d throw herself on the floor to roll around and get all the attention. She has been a staff favorite at the vet’s office. She has a pug face with a dachshund body, so she’s a low rider! She is approximately 12 years old and came into rescue with many bumps on her (about 20 that could be counted by our vet). We are hoping these are harmless skin tags but will know more in a few days. The good news is her blood work all came back as excellent! As part of the Guardian Angel program, SNPR will pay for her vet bills but you will be her “home.” So if you were thinking about adopting a senior dog but were concerned about the costs, please consider becoming Granny’s Guardian Angel!
 
Granny did have 3 mast cells removed.  She's now in a foster getting some much needed weight off her so she can move and feel better.  She ADORES toys and is quite motivated to move to get them!  Please consider becoming her Guardian Angel!
Granny is doing great in her foster home.  She already learned the doggy door (with a ramp modification for her low rider body!).  She gets very motivated for squeaky toys, and is definitely a lap dog. She'd make a terrific pet for someone looking for a low key snuggler.

Boss

Meet Boss, a very sweet and handsome 6 - 7 year old male pug. Boss was adopted several years ago, but his family now has a toddler that he was showing aggression toward so he was returned. He gets along great with other dogs and is fine with cats, but he needs a home with no young children. Boss is very well-behaved and loving and will be perfect in an adult-only home, or with adults and older/calm kids.

Boris

Boris is one of 4 pugs that came into SNPR after their owner died.  He's an extremely handsome boy with a gorgeous light apricot color, and we believe he is about 8 years old.  He is very affectionate, and is very sweet, he likes to give kisses.  As he came in with other pugs, we believe he is good with other dogs.  More details once he is in his foster home.

Boris is a fantastic pug.  He's very well behaved, and gets along with other dogs and cats. He's easy going, and he adores attention and will follow you around.  He loves to cuddle and he also plays quite a bit with toys.  He likes to carry them around and toss them up in the air.

Billy

Meet Billy, he is one of 4 pugs SNPR got in after their owner died.  Billy only has 1 eye due to an old injury but his other eye is just fine and he has no issues with it. He is very handsome, and seems super sweet.  He is about 7 years old. He was an angel in the car, and likes to sit on laps and give kisses, he also likes to head butt you to get attention!  He's a big guy at around 35 pounds and he will need to lose some weight to get in tip top shape.  More details on Billy once he is in his foster home!

Billie's foster says he's an awesome foster. He's a happy go lucky pug, and gets along great with other dogs and cats. He really just wants to be everyone's buddy.  He's also good with kids, and he loves walking so he'll get those few extra pounds off in no time. Who wouldn't want to add this super handsome winker to their family?

Billy Update from his foster family:
 
He's lost 5 pounds already!  He looks really good, and I think after 5 more pounds he'll be just about right.  He LOVES walking.  He pulls pretty hard, but we are working on that. I think he'd do really well in an active family.  Besides the walking, he's always chewing on a toy or playing with the other pugs.  I think he's the most active in our house.  He's super inquisitive--he always tries to find where the sounds from the tv are coming from, or what's on the bookshelf, or what you're doing.  

He knows how to sit, and goes right into the kitchen when we leave.  We gate him in the kitchen- he does fine in the kitchen with a couple of toys and a pillow when we're gone. He's completely potty trained.  Since he learned the potty routine, he's never had an accident. 
So all in all, I still think he's fit in with just about any active family.  He's a great dog!

Guinness

Guinness is a 6 year old male pug who was surrendered to rescue because his mom's schedule required her to be gone too many hours a day and poor Guinness was left alone and didn't like that. Guinness is in a foster home where we are told he is learning the doggy door quickly and is really enjoying his new foster pug siblings to play with! Guinness will make a great addition to anyone's home that can give Guinness the time and attention he deserves. Guinness does have a UTI and small infection in his eye. He is being treated for all of that and will be ready for his forever home ASAP!  More pictures to come! Guinness is doing fantastic in his foster home. He fits right in, knows the doggy door, and just goes with the flow. He's a super sweet little guy who will make a great addition to almost any family.
