“Smutt” & “Jeff”
|
What a dynamic duo – “Smutt” and “Jeff” are a bonded pair of 5-year old brothers who were surrendered to Pug Rescue because their owner has a terminal illness. They have been well loved and cared for, are housebroken, like going for walks (which is part of “Smutt’s” weight-loss efforts), and snuggling. They get along well with children, other dogs, and cats. If you’d like more information about this good-natured, affectionate pair, click Smutt & Jeff.

| “Sam Adams” |
Hi!! My name is Samuel Adams, and I am a six-year-old male pug. Because I am blind, I need a little TLC (for example, I would prefer a home with minimal stairs for my safety). Although I can’t see, I do have my other senses and can learn fairly quickly to get around new surroundings. I LOVE, LOVE to be around people of all ages and other dogs. Probably fine with cats, too. I am an active, spunky guy and have lots of love to give to a patient adoptive family – could that be you? Click on Sam Adams to learn more about me!
