Tommy da Pug

August 26, 2013 @ 8:38 pm posted by AbbyS
  • Male, 6 years old
  • Housebroken
  • Good with everyone
  • Possibly deaf and history of tumors
  • Adoption fee: $300
This 6 year old purebred fawn male is a perfect example of pugness!  His shar-pei traits are clear in his scrunchie little face and he is SUCH a loveable little guy.  He is very friendly and happy all the time.  Sometimes he gets “happy hips” and his foster mom has to squirt him.  He has had 2 small mass cell tumors removed (grade 2) and that has been it.  He has a deep wrinkle over his nose that has to be gently wiped out to keep dry and will need more wiping as the weather starts to warm up again.  He has not displayed any food aggression and will play toy, but only with humans.  He wants to become part of your ankle and you can always find him near a set of legs.  Tommy grew up with another dog and gets along well with his companions in foster care.  He is used to having a doggie door and has never been in a crate.  He loves the car, the leash, kids, cats and anything else that comes his way.  Tommy does not hear very well but he knows some hand signals.  Tommy would do really well as an only dog or just one of the gang, but he deserves to have lots of love just because he is a pug!

  • Male, 4 years old

  • Adoption fee: $300

Spud is amazing with kids! He lives with two 4 year old girls. They love to cuddle and play with him and he shows no signs of aggression. He plays right back with them or lets them scratch his belly and allows them to give him kisses. He loves his foster fur-sister dog, she is an 8 year old Boston Terrier. At first they ignored each other, but now when they come inside he tries to nibble at her ear to try and get her to play with him. He has had no issues playing outside with toys or running. He might bark once in a while, more due to the fact that his yard is backed up to a trail and there are a lot of other dogs and people running right behind. He gets very curious and likes to let everyone when someone is at or near our home. When the front door rings he might give a couple barks and run to the door area, but then when we open the door he just wants to give kisses. He seems to be a very good watch dog, he likes to sleep at the hallway between my door and my kids doors, like he need to protects us while we sleep at night or something.
He eats regular dry dog food, and he loves treats. He was a little chunk when we got him, so he really loves his food and treats. He stays off the furniture and he knows that when he comes in from outside he needs to settle down. He loves to sit at your feet and cuddle. He does well with baths and water. He is kennel trained as well, but we don’t keep him in a kennel, he has his own bed in our front room and he has had no potty issues since we got him.
He would be a perfect family dog, with other kids, people and other dogs. Or he would be a perfect companion for someone that wants someone to hang out with all day. He is not very rowdy, so even maybe someone older.

Miller

  • Male, 10 years old
  • Housebroken
  • Good with dogs
  • Adoption fee: $100

Miller is extremely active and agile. He is missing several teeth, but he eats dry dog food very well and small treat biscuits easily. He likes to jump and can clear a baby gate and a 3 foot fence.  He does very well with the other pugs and large dogs, but he does like to be the center of attention when a human pack member is around. He likes to play ball as much as he likes to snuggle. His house manners are pretty good. He is mostly housebroken, but working on being a good boy.  He is very good with adults, unsure how he would do with kids.

  • Male, 7 years old
  • Housebroken
  • Good with dogs, cats, & kids
  • Adoption fee: $300

Hi! My name is Toby and I am the sweetest pug you will ever meet. My owner had to surrender me due to unforeseeable family circumstances. They had me since I was a puppy and gave me lots of tender loving care — and it shows. My doctor says I am in excellent health!  My foster mom is amazed at how quickly I adapted to my new temporary home. I get along with the resident dog (a large lab), and am perfectly fine with cats. My former owner had a two year old, and I loved being near her. When I first met the resident dog of the house, I decided to mark a couple of times, just to have some territory. But I have not done that since and only go to the bathroom outside. I bark when I hear strange noises or someone coming in the house, which makes my foster mom feel safe. My foster mom keeps me in a crate while she is at work all day, and I love it. I go right in and take my stuffed monkey Bobbie (pictured) with me. I enjoy walking, going along with my mom for short bike rides, going in the car and even running. I’m a little larger than your average pug, weighing in at 30 pounds. Give me a chance, and you will not regret it. I will make a great addition to your family.

  • Female, 7 years old
  • Special Needs: blind and diabetic
  • Adoption fee: $300

Hi! I’m Addison! You can call me Addie, or Addikens – I respond very well to voices as I am blind. But don’t feel to bad for me because I’m blind – it’s not so bad, I get around fine, even stairs once I know where they are and where I am going. I LOVE to be held and snuggle and will sit in your lap or by you for as long as I can – I really need to be with people. My foster mom says I need to stay in a crate in the car or when I am by myself for my safety – must be that blind thing again.  I do protest a little at first but I know she is right and it’s ok. I am diabetic but that is not a problem for me – it means I get to eat twice a day so I can have my insulin – I don’t even know it’s being given to me!  I like other pugs and cats, but sometimes other dogs don’t like me very much – I think they are jealous because they know I am special. My foster mom really monitors my interaction with others to keep them..er..me out of trouble.  I love to lick….I lick a lot….and sometimes that gets me excited and I start humping – I just can’t help myself so I need help being told no when I get wound up. I want to be your furever pug please put Addie on your application!

Murphy is a very pleasant canine buddy.  He is very gentle.  He knows simply commands like sit, shake,stay,  and down.  He loves belly rubs.  He loves carrots and green beans for snacks.  He loves to play ball or fetching when you throw it. He needs to be supervised with toys as he’ll eat them when you aren’t watching.  Murphy is kennel trained and housebroken. He will give you a signal, pawing you or scratching at the door when he needs to go out. He has a sensitive stomach and is on a special diet.
 He has this game he will play when he is excited and playful…..you say Zoom, Zoom Murphy and he will race around the living area in circles.  He is a super delight to have to our family.

Need a lap dog??  If your answer is yes, then I’m the lady for you!  My name is Kya, and I am 9 year old, fawn, spayed female pug for adoption.  As you can see, I love to be close to people and will follow you like a shadow.  If you allow me to do so, my favorite activity is to snuggle up with you.  I like all kinds of people, even the little ones.  I also enjoy the company of other dogs.  I have a calmer disposition, but enjoy walks and romps at the dog park.  I am house trained, crate trained, and not destructive if left alone.  Although I have a cataract in one eye, I can see fine with my other eye.  Otherwise, I have a clean bill of health, recently having a check-up, vaccinations, and a dental.  My foster family thinks I am a wonderful dog and will make an awesome companion for a family that can look beyond my age.  I am just seeking for a forever home to love and be loved for years to come.  If you think you may be the new family for me, please don’t hesitate to put my name on the adoption application!

Hi, my name is Rocky.  I am 6 years old and I have been doing very well while in foster care.  I used to live in a crate (kennel) during the day and during the night as well, but so far my life outside of the crate has really been nice.  I get the run of the house and have not had any issues being left alone while my foster parents are at work.  I love my am & pm walks. I also walk really well on a leash.  I do better with a collar vs. a harness for some reason, but my foster parents keep practicing putting a harness to get me more used to it.  Right now I live with one larger older dog  who is pretty mellow and he has showed me how to use the dog door to let myself into and out of the back yard on my own.  When we are out and about in the neighborhood I don’t mind kids, other dogs, bikes or strollers.  I have yet to meet a kitty cat so I have no idea about those.  I am a well adjusted happy go lucky guy that would really like to find my forever home.  I would do best in a home with children over 12 since being picked up and smothered is not my favorite thing.  I like my independence and will snuggle up to you. PS – I don’t snore at night.

 

Big Al

  • Male, 11 or 12 years old
  • Mostly good with cats and dogs
  • Housebroken
  • Adoption fee: $100

Hi my name is Alex but you can call me “Big Al”. I have been living the good life since being saved by Pug Rescue. I am 11 or 12 years old and have had a rough life. I was an “outside only” dog and am a pug! We are not outside only dogs!! You wouldn’t know it from my sweet, easy going personality though. I like to snuggle my humans on the couch all day if they let me! I also enjoy a slow stroll around the block to get the mail and supervising my humans while they do yard work. I get along fairly good with other dogs but do have an occasional cranky old man moment and snap at them. I really like cats and would like to play with them, however they do not like me back! I also like to wrestle with my humans and play with toys.
Since I am a little older, I do have some health concerns. I am mostly blind (I see shadows, I found and figured out the dog door on my own!) I don’t hear a whole lot and I am a little limpy. The vet with the rescue finally figured out that I needed thyroid medication and I am so much happier! I take it twice a day in my food and don’t even notice its there! Speaking of food, I am food agressive but eat just fine if you feed me away from any other dogs.

I am really looking for a quiet home where I can spend my senior years. I will keep your lap warm in the winter months and entertain you with my silly bark. Please help me find that home!

  • More info coming soon…stay tuned!

When you first meet me, you may notice that my tongue likes to hang out a tiny bit. I was told once that only people and dogs who are heavy thinkers do that! Hi! My Name is Bentley, and I am 5 years old. My foster mom says that my name fits me because I look so stately with my big chest. I am house broken, and know how to use a doggie door. I will go into a kennel, but would prefer to be close to you instead. I am pretty laid back, but will also play tug-of-war with you if you want me to. Get ready for this teddy bear of a pug to become your best friend once we get to know each other better. I hope you will put my name on an adoption application soon!

Hi, I’m Oliver.   I came to Colorado Pug Rescue after two families decided it wasn’t a good fit and wanted me to have a better home.  I am so grateful to all that CPR has provided: a loving foster home and much needed medical care.  I had two cancerous growths removed from my legs; I am now cancer free and loving life.  I do require a joint supplement daily to ensure my knees stay in good shape.
I get along great with my foster pug brother and sister. I get along great with kids too.  I am crate trained, and house trained-I used a doggy door with my previous family.  I love to cuddle at your feet in bed when we are sleeping together. Walks are the best–I have a lot of energy to go around the block with you.
I bark when you leave; but that’s my way of saying, “I’ll miss you–Come Home Soon!”
I am looking for a family that will love me forever–will you be the one to pick me? They say the third time is the charm.
Thanks for looking and I can’t wait to meet you soon.

Harmony

  • Female, 5-6 years old
  • 18 lbs.
  • Current on vaccinations, spayed, and microchipped
  • Housebroken
  • Special Needs: Requires Urinary specific food to prevent bladder stones
  • Adoption fee: $300

Hi everyone, my name is Harmony.  I came into the rescue when my owners couldn’t afford surgery to remove bladder stones.  I had 3 large stones removed and I feel soooo much better!  I’m doing great post-op but have to eat a prescription food for the rest of my life to keep the stones from coming back…that means treats too.  But I like the food and my foster family saves some kibbles from my daily meals to give as treats.  Most of the time I’m like any other pug and sleep a lot, but mid afternoon I can get down right lively.  I like to play with toys and my foster family has found that a rawhide chew helps to get me through the fidgets.  My vet even went so far as to call me a D.Q., which I found out means drama queen!  I get along with other dogs but don’t know any cats.  I really enjoy my morning and evening walks and if the cows are nearby I like to bark at them.  They don’t seem to mind and sometimes they  come over to see what all the noise is about.  About barking … when left alone, I bark.  When it thunders, I bark. Sometimes I bark at birds.  I’m not an incessant barker, just making a few comments.  My foster family isn’t sure how long I bark when left alone – now that I’m healed from my surgery, they are going to try some experiments.  I have never been crate trained and insist on sleeping on the bed with you.  I also like a lap whenever possible.  As you can see from my photos, I’m super cute.  Hmm, I’m starting to understand that D.Q. title!

Butters

@ 1:10 pm posted by AbbyS
  • Male, 5 years old
  • Adoption fee: $300

Butters is a wonderful pug.  He’s extremely kind and energetic, as displayed in his current foster home (surrounded by multiple dogs of various size, gender and breed). He has a little bit of a voice but without aggression… he likes to let you know he’s happy! Butters responds to many of the basic canine commands (he can sit, he’ll stay for the typical 30 seconds, and others we are still learning). He’s in wonderful health with no history of major issue. It’s evident Butters came from a loving home and will be a tremendous addition for another!
