I had a happy life with my only owner until she got sick with Alzheimer’s. Her family couldn’t take care of her and give me the care I needed too, so they asked Colorado Pug Rescue to find me a new family. I was a little bewildered at first, but my foster family is making me feel right at home with yummy food, short walks, toys to play with and laps to sit on and my very own dog bed. Sometimes the cranky old pug that lives here too barks at me but I just give him space and ignore him. I am friendly with other dogs (non-cranky ones) and children. I met a cat at the vet clinic and didn’t bark or lunge at it but I’ve never lived with one. I am very good natured, give lots of kisses and love to be right next to my foster mom and dad. I really would prefer a home where my humans are with me most of the time. I have been crate trained and like to sleep in it at night. I went to obedience class a long time ago, so I’m a little rusty on my commands but I will sit if you give me a treat! My foster family has discovered that I’m kind of deaf (they thought it was “selective” hearing at first) but other than a little arthritis in my back legs I’m pretty healthy for being 11 years old. The arthritis doesn’t slow me down much and I take glucosamine every day for it. I’m a pretty wonderful pug with just one problem…I mark in the house occasionally. Even though I get along great with other dogs, sometimes I get in a marking competition with them (inside and out) so it might be better if I am an only dog. If left unattended, I should stay in my crate where I feel safe or wear a bellyband so I can’t make any mistakes.
My foster mom thinks Bandit is a perfect name for me…she says I will steal your heart when you meet me!

Magoo was found as a stray, so not much is known about his previous life. But, based on his condition when he arrived at the shelter, he was probably not very well taken care of. In spite all of that, Magoo is one of the sweetest pugs you’ll ever meet! He is easygoing and content to be around his foster family, including his foster fur-siblings. He’s not overly needy, but relishes any attention he receives. He would probably do best where he’s not the only pet or where he’s not left alone for significant periods of time, if he is solo. The veterinary ophthalmologist diagnosed him with retinal degeneration, which is permanent and irreversible. However, Magoo still seems to be able to see shadows and does very well navigating his surroundings. He will always come find you if you make kissy noises to call him. Magoo would love to come be loved and pampered by you…and treats are always welcome!

Hi my name is Bandit and I am a one year old pug/Chihuahua mix. I am a bundle of puppy energy! I love everyone and everything. I have yet to meet a person or dog that I don’t like. I live with my foster sisters and some foster cats. I like all of them and wish they would play with me more! I am kept loose in the house while my family is at work and sleep in bed with them and the other pugs in the house every night.My foster family says that I am a fast, eager learner and that I want to please them. I am learning how to not play bite and some basic commands. I have a lot of energy so I need a family that is committed to helping me release that energy daily. Currently I go on two long walks with my foster family and sometimes I am lucky enough to go on a hike or jog on the weekends. I love that! I ride very well in the car and enjoy co-piloting with my foster mom.
I really would like to find a forever home that will release my energy and that has another dog for me to play with. I love to play! I also enjoying playing fetch, I even bring the ball back to you! After I get my energy out I love to curl up and take a nap on the couch. Please put Bandit on your application! You won’t be sorry!

For a family seeking a four- legged friend for youngsters, or a couple with an active lifestyle in need of a lap companion, or a dog owner in search of companion for a lonely buddy, Lucky may be the perfect candidate for adoption. Lucky is a young pug, slightly larger-than-average size for the breed, with an energetic personality. He’s very curious about the world and enjoys exploring. He plays wonderfully with other dogs, though his youthful exuberance is best suited for fellow rough housers. Lucky understands basic commands and is happy cuddling on the couch as he is working off the playful energy to get there. The house that welcomes Lucky will be a house filled with love, and he’ll fit in perfectly.

Chester is a large, fit, very active pug. He loves to go on long walks and still has energy to play with his toys when he gets back. When he’s ready for a nap he is happy to join you on your lap or next to you on the couch. He will sleep in his bed but likes to come up and snuggle in the morning. If you like to have a bed warmer full time, I’m sure he will accommodate you. He would like to play with another active dog but the older pug he lives with is not interested. Chester has been crate trained and will go into his crate to nap sometimes.
Chester has a dominant personality and has a problem recognizing his pack order with small children and being too aggressive in play. He becomes over-excited quickly when playing tug with his toys and needs to be reminded that the humans are in control. Chester should only be placed in a home with children 10 yrs or older. The children must be capable of understanding that his playtime needs to be structured.
Medical issues: Chester’s foster family witnessed some odd behavior and after conferring with his veterinarian, he has been diagnosed with a psychomotor seizure disorder that manifests itself with snapping at imaginary flies and periods of growling unconsciously. Chester is now on medication that controls these episodes. Chester also needs eye drops once a day to help with dry eyes and irritation. While Chester loves walks, he has a condition from an old injury to his front left leg which results in dragging his front feet. He develops an abrasion on the top of his toes that will bleed if walked on hard surfaces. Protecting his feet with booties or wrapping them has helped.
Please give Chester a 2nd chance. Chester is a fun, loving companion and will be a wonderful addition to the right family.
- Male, 12 years old
- Good with dogs and cats
- Special Needs: wobbly legs, occasional incontinence
- Special skill: Sunbathing in the buff
- Adoption fee: $100
Did you know silver is the new black? Well, Puggie does and he’s also working overtime to bring sexy back! Puggie is a sweet and playful old man. His little grey face makes him look like a wise old sage (or maybe a Capuchin monkey). He loves to snuggle under the blankets, and he is a tiny little fellow, so he doesn’t take up much room. What he lacks in size, he makes up for in character. He has a BIG personality (hence the bringing sexy back) and is guaranteed to make just about anyone smile. He is confident and demanding and prefers to be in your lap. He howls like a hound when he gets excited, and he is pretty good at getting his own way. He is often cold and shivers, so he likes to wear his sweater or coat (unless it’s nice outside, then he prefers to go au naturale). He loves to walk despite the fact that he has a slippy-knee that makes him walk funny. The vet says it doesn’t hurt him, and it definitely doesn’t slow him down. He reminds us of Elvis when he wears his collar up. He likes to snuggle with his foster-siblings (they are so warm), but he doesn’t let them push him around. He would probably snuggle with the kitties too if they were friendlier. He is mostly potty-trained and uses the doggie door, but he does have a marking habit (not the best way to bring sexy back), and maybe a touch of incontinence when he gets worked up (nobody’s perfect).

Hi, my name is Rocco and my foster mommy says I am the cutest, sweetest pug ever! I am 6.5 years old and both house-trained and crate-trained! I love to cuddle and never let my foster mom leave my sight. I like other dogs and cats, and am good with kids. I do well at the dog park too, even with big dogs! I am a perfect angel except my foster mommy is working on making sure that I accept food and treats more gently. I enjoy going outside, but could be happy in an apartment because I would rather be inside where the people are. I also love going for car rides to the pet store to get treats and toys!

Hi, my name is Tank. I am a healthy 8 year old, 25 lb, male, fawn pug. I just had my fall check up at the vet and they say I am on the larger size for my breed. I love my morning and evening walks very much, and I get along well with the larger dog I am staying with. I am really good at using the dog door and I am house trained. I know basic obedience commands and just need some daily eye drops because I have a dry eye condition. I am on senior dog food to avoid weight gain and my dog food has joint benefits as well. I am a spunky lovable snuggler who will keep you company on the couch if you let me.

Hi! I am Brody, a 4 year old Chug….That means I am part Chihuahua,and part Pug. I am a very smart boy that came from a very cold place, so I hope you like a dog that cuddles. I am crate trained, and really like it, especially when I hear loud sounds. I love car rides, and walks a whole bunch, and I can be full of energy too! I have only been in my foster home for a short while, but I am learning how to use a doggie door, and I am learning what it is like to be around other dogs. I hope you will like me enough to put my name on the adoption form!

HELLO!! My name is Colonel Buttons. I am a 1 year old male. I have been recently neutered and I am available for adoption now!
Unfortunately, I was born with some neurological difficulties that affect my ability to negotiate stairs. I can go up, but can’t go down yet. There is a possibility that I may have other neuro issues, but as of today, I haven’t given any reason to believe this.
I am still trying to learn how to go potty outside, and so I need someone that can be a little patient with accidents. The Doctor does not think that my accidents are related to my Neurological problems.
I started life with a breeder. When I was rescued, I was not very happy. I had spent most of my life in a cage. I didn’t really understand how to drink from a bowl. I wasn’t eating very well either. I weighed 5 pounds and was very sleepy all the time. It made me sad that my previous owners thought I wouldn’t be good enough to be a show dog.
But then Colorado Pug Rescue found me! I am so happy! I have lots of other brother and sister doaggies that are teaching me how to be a puppy. I LOVE to play with dogs AND kids. I have also learned that I LOVE to snuggle when I sleep at night. When people meet me, they cannot believe how cute I am. I dare you to resist my cuteness.
My parents were show dog champions. You can tell by my character, and even by the way I walk. I know I can be a champion companion for you and I desperately want a forever home.
