Pugs Available for Adoption

In Waiting

Age: Around 6 weeks old
Gender: Female

Hi there!

I’m Lil’ Peanut and in my short few weeks of life I have been through a lot! My Pug Mommy and I were found under a tree by county animal services completely covered in fleas and ticks. It was yucky! And I didn’t feel very well. But these nice people from CPR (whatever that means) picked us up and took us straight to the hospital where they got all the itchy fleas and icky mean ticks off of us. We stayed there awhile and now I’m feeling great!

Right now, I live in a foster house that even has A/C! I get to play (i love toys), eat yummy food and get lots o’ lovins! I’m super happy but would absolutely love to have a home with people of my own who will always be there to love me, teach me manners and to go potty like the big pugs!  I know who my Mommy is , she’s a great Pug named Faith! But I never met my Daddy so everybody keeps looking at me to see who else I resemble. I don’t know what the big deal is.  I just wanna be happy! Will you make me happy?

If you think you have what it takes to care for me for the rest of my life, then please fill out an adoption application!

*Note, Peanut is “in waiting” and will spend a little bit more time in foster care until we are confident is in 100% tip-top shape and ready for adoption.  In the meantime, we gladly accept applications from those intersted in giving Peanut her forever home.

Milo is a five year old fawn pug.  He was recently surrendered with his brother.  Milo is now in a foster home with his new foster brother and sister whom he gets along with very well.  He loves to follow his foster Mom from room to room.  He will cuddle up on your lap or right next to you, he is a real love bug.  He is a little butterball that weighs 27 lbs.  We are working on helping Milo lose a couple pounds. 

Milo is fully housebroken with only one mishap the first day (we think due to be him being nervous about being separated from his brother.) He is great on the leash or in the dog park.  He gets along well with other dogs and is not food-aggressive. Milo would be a great addition to a family with dogs.  Has not been tested with children.  He does not enjoy being crated at night. We have a feeling he was used to sleeping with his brother at night. Thankfully Milo tries to adjust to whatever we throw at him.  He’s a real trooper.

Milo wants to find his forever family!  If you would like to be considered, please fill out an adoption application!

Hi Everybody,

My name is Hope and I sure “hope” you will read my story. I am not sure if you noticed, but I’m a senior citizen. I am a young 10 year old fawn female. I was used for a lifetime of breeding. I’m a little saggy in the midsection, but never the less, a beautiful girl. At a time in my life when I needed to be loved and cherished for the senior that I am, I was taken to the vet by my owners to be euthanized. Thankfully, my vet knew that I still had a lot of living to do and contacted the good folks at CPR. These wonderful folks at CPR have promised me they are going to find me a safe and loving home to live out my golden years. In the mean time, they sure have set me up pretty good. My foster mommy has a pretty nice pad with a yard for me to walk around. I have two sisters here, although they don’t look like me, they do have 4 legs. While my new sisters and I were sitting around talking, one told me she was omething called a Yorkie & the other one told me she was something called a shih tzu. Even though they don’t look like me, they are pretty cool.

I have some unsteadiness in my rear limbs, I believe due to a little arthritis. I don’t mind taking walks, but not too far & not too fast. My foster mommy says I am what they call housebroken and also pretty good in a crate. Oh, and something else, I don’t bark or make a lot of noise. I really am just a sweet old girl.

I have been seen by the wonderful CPR veterinarian recently, and for a girl my age, I am not on any meds, imagine that!. He told me that I don’t have to run out to buy any of those day of the week pill dispensers. Now I hope you don’t look at me and laugh because of my front tooth. I’m very sensitive about my tooth, however, I say, it gives me character. woof! I am a beautiful “full figured” senior citizen, however, it has been suggested that I slim down my full figure. You would think for a girl at my age I could eat anything I want, but I know us pugs do better when we are a bit thinner. 

One last thing, I want you to know that I just want to be with you & loved.  I promise you won’t be sorry if you open your heart & home to me. I just want a home to feel safe & loved to live out the rest of my life. In return, I will shower you with my wonderful Pug kisses & be the perfect “golden girl”. If you think I might be the perfect “senior” for you, please fill out the adoption application!

Woof-woof!

Hi there,

I know what you’re thinking: “hey, that doesn’t look like a Pug”.  Well, one of our volunteers saw me at an elementary school parking lot and knew I needed saved.  She couldn’t bear to take me to a shelter and so she asked CPR to help.  They call me Snickers, but you can call me whatever you want; as long as you let me stay right by your side.

I’m very small and petite at 10 lbs and I’m not going to get any bigger.  The vet says I am about one year old and thinks I’m a chihuahua/pug or boston mix.  I just got spayed and I am up to date on vaccines.  I’m ready to go to my forever home!

I get along just fine with the four Pugs and Rottweiler I am living with, but I much prefer the company and warm bed of a human so I would be just as happy as an only child.  I could use a little help with my manners; I just LOVE jumping up on the table to see if there are any delicious treats for me.

If you think that you may be able to help me out… forever… please fill out an adoption application!

Hi Pug Lovers,

I’m Brittney and I am just one little bundle of pug energy!  I was recently surrendered to CPR because my former owners could no longer keep me.  I’m not sure they took enough to get to know me… because I think if you get to know me, YOU’LL LOVE ME! 

Since coming to CPR I have been in a very loving foster home, I have been spayed (so I don’t have to deal with all that baby drama!) and I have been well taken care of.  As loving and snuggly as I am, my foster mom says that I will probably need some puppy obedience training and I definitely need to work on the potty training thing.  My last owners kept me outside (yes, even in this humid heat of south Florida) and so the whole potty thing confuses me… but I’m working on it!

So anyway, I really am just looking for the right family to welcome me into their home… forever.  Are you my match?  If so, please fill out an adoption application right away!

Pug hugs to you all!

Hi guys!  Its me Barry again!

My one year anniversary with CPR has come and gone on July 10th.  Don’t get me wrong, I love my foster moms, but I long for a forever home of my own.  You should see me now!  Since I;ve come into rescue, I have made tremendous strides (literally) with my recovery.  I now can walk around the block a few times with no problem and I can do the “Pugtonia”, just like any other fun loving pug.  Because of my disc injury, I am not always be able to completely eliminate outdoors and I do leak when I’m excited.  All you need is a belly band/diaper for me most of the time, except at nighttime.

I am an absolute lovebug, get along great with humans and other pets and I sure would love to go to my forever home.  So, what do you think? Can you handle a handsome devil in your life?

Give CPR a call and make my dream come true! -xoxo Barry

Barry is an absolutely gorgeous black pug with the softest fur imaginable. He was surrendered to Animal Control by his owners and all they would say was they didn’t want him anymore. They did not give any history or explanation for his condition, so we can only speculate. What we do know is when we got him, he could not walk, or even stand on his own. He tried hard to balance if you stood him up, but he was not able to get his legs under his body without assistance.

He has been getting baths daily, and his burned skin is clearing up nicely with medication. We brought Barry to a Rehab Clinic and he responded very well to physical therapy (walking on the treadmill under water). His doctor reported he was doing 100% better and was also treating him with steroids. He was holding his urine and even walking on his own after just two weeks!  Of course, he is a work in progress, so no promises on the wee wee situation.  We haven’t gotten a definite diagnosis, but the doctors feel it is either a spinal defect or injury.

He is approximately 5 years old and weighs 17 lbs. He is very sweet and is now out of the hospital in a foster home. We are looking for the right home, foster and/or adoptive, that can commit to continuing Barry’s therapy and working with him to get as healthy as possible. Are you that family?? If you would like to provide a loving home for Barry, please fill out an adoption application.

Ginger has recovered from her palate surgery and spay and is ready for her special forever home.  The first pic is Ginger now.  She is a beautiful little girl who is content being by your side as an only pug but gets along well with other dogs as well. She is not crazy about cats!  She loves her walks but they must be kept short as she does not tolerate the heat very well. Ginger does have a heavy nose roll which enhances her beauty, but does take a little extra care for gentle daily cleaning.

Hi Everyone,

Let me introduce myself. My name is Ginger. I am a beautiful 3 year old female pug. I know I didn’t have to tell you how beautiful I am since you can see that from my picture. Thankfully I found my way to the good folks at CPR through County Animal Services. See, my owners surrendered me to the animal shelter because I had some difficulty breathing. The folks at the shelter happen to know that CPR would take good care of me & get me feeling better. With one quick phone call to the CPR angel, she came to pick me up & could see that I needed medical help right away. I thought I was taken in a “pugbulance” to the hospital, but I later found out it was just a regular human car. Anyway, once I got to the hospital & the hospital staff took one look at me, they knew I needed help “stat”. I was really struggling for my breath & if you know us pugs at all, you know that is not an easy task under good healthy conditions. After the good Dr at the hospital examined me, he determined that I had what was called an elongated palate. The doc told me it was one of the worse cases he had ever seen. In no time flat, the hospital staff prepped me for emergency surgery since my airway was closing up. After fixing my palate, while I was still under, the good Dr also did a little “nose job” on me. Imagine that, I had a nose job. The Dr felt by making my nostrils larger, it would make it easier for me to breath.

If you are willing to open your heart & your home & adopt me into your family, I promise, you won’t be sorry! I will smother you with pug kisses & sit on your lap as long as you want me to. If you think I am the perfect little girl to add to your family, please ask for Ginger (that’s me) on your adoption application. Bye for now!

Hi, I am Pudgy! And I’m back! 

You may remember me from last year when I was surrendered because my owner lost his job, well here I am again! This time my owner lost her home. She loved me very much but could no longer keep me.

Don’t let my name fool you- I am fit and trim! I am 7 years old and am very active.  I am very sweet and love to sit on your lap and give kisses. I get along with everyone- dogs, cats, and small children!

I’m hoping that this time I can find my perfect forever home!  Please consider adopting me!  All the folks at CPR need is for you to fill out an adoption application!

Hello senior Pug lovers, my name is Cookie. I am a young 10 year old fawn female senior. At a time in my life when I needed to be loved and cherished for the senior that I am, I was surrendered to a certain death sentence at the pound. Thankfully because of the good folks at CPR, they are going to find me a safe and loving home to live out my golden years.

I have some lameness in my rear limbs due to hip dysplasia, however, you wouldn’t know it since I am so high spirited. I like to take off running-and do, but sometimes lose my balance because of my hips.

I have been seen by the wonderful CPR veterinarian recently and he told me that I have a urinary tract infection, periodontal disease, and possible cataracts---imagine that!  With that news, CPR is deciding how I can best be helped for those things.

Now for the bad news.  While I was at the vet, the Dr told us that he feels certain I have a mammary tumor. He told us that for a senior gal like me to undergoing surgery, it is a risk. He suggested that first I slim down my “full” figure before surgery is even considered to remove the tumor and have my teeth cleaned. The Dr also suggested the option of not doing anything at all. 

One last thing I forgot to mention, I can be quite vocal when I am crated. I’m just not crazy about that thing. I want to be with you & not separated by wires of a crate. I promise you won’t be sorry if you open your heart & home to me. I just want a home to feel safe & loved to live out the rest of my life. In return, I will shower you with my wonderful pug kisses & be the perfect “golden girl”. If you think you have a place in your home for me, please fill out the adoption application & ask for Cookie.

Hi, I am Bubba.

I am one handsome 10 year old guy! I am totally housebroken!  I am very cuddly and I love full body hugs. I also love to give you kisses. I like to be in the same room with you and will cry if I know you are home and I am alone.

I only have two minor problems. I am deaf and blind! Like I said, they are minor because that doesn’t slow me down one bit.  Most people don’t realize I have any problems because I am so cute, my eyes are beautiful and my sense of smell is spectacular! I can sense you in the room and you can not hide the food from me! I am a real chow hound. 

I would love to be placed in a home with another dog. I follow my foster siblings everywhere- they are helping me learn the layout of the house and yard. I hope when you see me, you will listen to your heart and know I am the guy for you!  Please fill out an adoption application.

HOLA!  My name is Luigi (aka Pudgy) and I am going to be 7 in July.  I understand spanish and am learning english in my foster home so if you speak spanish that will be a bonus for me.  I get along well with other dogs but do not seem that fond of cats as I do not like to hear the MEOW..boy does that make me go loco (crazy). 

My face has some gray in it but I think it is my unusual coloring and not my age..it makes me look so distinguished.  I am kind of skinny for a pug which makes it easier for me to climb into your lap to snuggle..which I love to do.  Oh ya I like to sleep in the bed too but I am okay with my crate. I LOVE when you squeak my squeaky toy so I can run and chase it. I am learning my potty manners and doing well. 

While I would most likely do well in a home with other pugs or dogs, I would also do great in a home where I’m solo and royally spoiled!  Will you consider me for your new home?  If so, please fill out an adoption application and ask for me, Pudgy!

Allie could not be sweeter.  She does not jump and is fully doggie-door trained.  She loves nothing more than to sit next to you on the couch.  She doesn’t like to jump so you have to lift her up next to you. She is sweet and gentle with kids and gives little kisses. She sleeps either on the bed if you lift her up on to the bed and will sleep the whole night.  Allie does snore a little like most great pugs do.

Allie also has made fast friends with Arthur, our Basset Hound, and with Winnie, our Pug. She is a wonderful sweet and gentle girl and would make a wonderful asset to any family. If you are interested in adopting Allie into your home forever, please fill out an adoption application.

Hi, I’m Thor and I have to say I am very proud of my gray face, I think it makes me look wise. I’ve had a hard life, and I am looking for someone that will love me in my old age.

I was adopted 4 years ago from another rescue, Planet Pugs and my parents took very good care of me. Sadly, they lost their home to foreclosure and could not keep me, but the nice people of CPR are helping me find a new home.

I know that my chances of finding someone to want an old fellow like me are slim, but I hope you will consider giving me a place in your home and heart. I have a lot of love to give and would like to join your family. I hope you can look past a few of my faults and let me share my life with you. I do have a small limp and a little arthritis, but that will never keep me from giving you a hug.

I also have a few degenerative discs, that sometimes make me poop on the floor, but I never mean to. If you would like to get to know the sweet guy I am, please fill out this adoption application and the nice people from CPR will contact you.

If you would like to help Thor in his quest to find a new home, but can not adopt him. Please consider becoming his foster angel. Help us care for Thor’s medical needs, while we work hard to find him that very special home and make a secure donation by clicking on the bone below.

Update January 2010

It’s Cotton and sister Jodi.  Things are going well with our foster family; there are lots of other dogs here to play with.  We’ve been here since Labor Day and we’re wondering why nobody has adopted us yet?  We don’t chew anything up, we sleep together in our bed, and we are very sweet.

Although we are middle aged, we are very healthy and happy girls.  I take my eyedrops twice a day and don’t give my foster mommy any fuss.  We get along with other dogs or would be happy with just the two of us.  We stay in a crate together while mom is at work all day and we don’t mind it at all (as long as you coax us in with a treat)!

So if you have anyone who wants to share their homes with us girls, let us know!  Pugs and kisses!

Cotton and Jodi joined our three-dog, one bird home about two weeks ago.  Never having a senior pug before, I expected two “little old ladies” that would just lay around and sleep all day.  Boy, was I wrong!  The only thing “old lady” about these two darlings is the fact that they wake up at the crack of dawn.  They are very much full of life, even more so than my three and five year olds.

They take care of each other and they’re never more than three feet apart.  All they need is a warm bed, food twice a day, and some eye drops (which they take very easily). 

Marcia at CPR has told me more than once that I would prefer an older pug and I didn’t understand why.  Now, I am a believer.  I hope that someone will open their minds sooner than I did, so they can see what I see.  Anyone who lets these girls in to their hearts will not be disappointed. Please fill out an adoption application to adopt us, Jodi and Cotton.

Pugs and Kisses,
Angi, Shelby, Saki, Gizmo, Kona, and ChiChi

Hi, my name is Simon and I am a 10 year old pug. I do need special care as I appear to be deaf and need eye drops for my dry eyes.

I love to play with my chew toys. I am house broken and have not had one accident in the house, as long as you keep me on the schedule that my foster mom has me on I will do well.

Hello there pug lovers!  My name is Snoopy.  I may not be the youngest pug here, but my foster mom says that sometimes I get so excited and playful that I remind her of a puppy.  My vision isn’t great, technically I’m blind, but I can see shadows so that helps me get around.  Lucky, for me I have a keen sense of smell so that really helps me find my way and if you are in the room I can smell you out!  It is quite surprising how well I can get along once I learn the layout of the house.  I get a few eye drops that have really made a difference in my eyes.  The drops help keep my eyes moist so that it is easy for me to blink.

One thing that I have learned in life is to go potty outside.  Just tell me the potty schedule and if you keep with the schedule I will hold up my end of the deal.

In the evenings, I love to cuddle on the couch or snooze on your lap.  And when you get home, I will be there to greet you every day with this gorgeous face and a wagging tail.

What do you say?  You want me to greet you at the door each night after a hard day at the office?  If so, just fill out this adoption application.

My name is Tinka and I am a gorgeous 6 year old pug.  My parents loved me but had to let me go because they were moving and couldn’t bring me to their new place.  Imagine how sad I was!  I was so lucky to find a wonderful foster family who adore me.  My foster Mommy says I am the sweetest and most well behaved pug she has ever met...and that is saying alot! 

I get along like best friends with my foster pug sister and my foster cat sister.  Oh and how I love my 6 year old human sister....I am so gentle and love when she pets me.  Speaking of petting.... I love to roll on my back and have my belly rubbed.  I do need to lose a few pounds and my foster Mommy is working on that....soon I will be trim again.

I am fully housebroken and my foster Mommy gushes that I have no bad habits!  She calls me her little angel and promises that I will be adopted by a wonderful family who will love me forever.....will you be by new family?

Hi pug lovers!

My name is Yoda and I am approximately 7 months old.  I may be incredibly cute, but I tell you I came into CPR a little bit of a mess!  I was pretty sick when I got here and I am so glad that the great folks at CPR have helped me recouperate.

You see I had a pretty nasty cough (respiratory infection) and I was covered in a skin condition that can really wreak havoc (mange.) As you can tell, I have had great treatments the last two weeks and my beautiful shiny black coat is returning to its original luster.  I’m also pretty healed up from cough too, but the CPR folks are gonna look after me for another week or two before I’ll be ready to go to my forever home.

Even through all of this, my foster parents say that I’ve been an enjoyable, entertaining, and sweet companion.  I’m a bit on the fiesty and playful side (what puppy isn’t!?!) and I really enjoy meeting and sniffing other dogs and cats alike.

If you think that I’d be the perfect addition to your home and family in a couple of weeks, then fill out an adoption application! 

I’d love to make you a happy complete family.
