Hi everyone! I’m Lucy (too)! I love to cuddle next to you on the couch while you watch TV. You might say I’m a happy-go-lucky kind of pug as I always wag my tail and wiggle my butt when I see you (I’ll even give you kisses if you come down to my level)! I will follow you all around the house to see what you are up to. I am a very good girl and go potty outside and also know (and follow) a few basic commands! The only medicine I take is glucosamine to combat some stiffness, but other than that, my health is fantastic! I get along with my three pug foster sisters, but since I was raised mostly alone I do not require canine companionship to be happy. I am good around kids, but have never been around cats. While I don’t get into trouble while my foster parents are away, I would really love to be with my humans for most of the day since that is what I am used to. My foster parents say that I’m super easy to take care of! If you can find a place in your heart to give me a forever home put my name on your adoption application! PS: I am bananas about bananas!

My name is Dante, I will be 9 years old on May 24th and in very good shape for my age. My foster Mom says I have the softest fur and a face that melts her heart. I like to go for walks and ride in the car and most of all sit on a warm lap. I get along real good with the dogs and cats that also live here. I am in good health except for a little arthritis and I don’t have too many teeth left do I eat soft food. I would do well in a home as the only dog or with other dogs that won’t expect me to play rough with them (same with children). If you are looking for a well behaved, mellow fellow, I am your Pug.
Meet Sophia! Sophia is a ten year old bundle of love. Sadly, she hasn’t had the best of pasts. When she was 6 years old she fell from a boat which caused her to be partially paralyzed. She gets around just fine (most of the time), but the injury to her spine left her completely incontinent and she needs to wear little girly diapers. Despite being abandoned by her original owners and taken to a shelter, she is a happy, and playful little girl.

Tapanga and Bowser came to Colorado Pug Rescue back in 2010 because their owner could no longer keep them. They have been a couple their whole lives and they are just the cutest pair. They always have to know where the other is and are so very loving toward each other. Tapanga likes to spoon Bowser and rest her back leg over his hip. Tapanga is now 14yrs young and Bowser is 13yrs young. Their forever family never came along and their health is starting to become an issue for them so their foster mommy has decided to become their forever foster mommy until it is their time to cross the Rainbow Bridge. Colorado Pug Rescue will continue to pay for their medical needs. They are both deaf but that doesn’t slow them down from wanting to go to the dog park and be the great pugs that they are. They love to snuggle with their foster mommy and her 5 pugs on the giant sectional. Tapanga gets very excited when the cat comes her way. She thinks he is just the coolest and smells wonderful. Bowser is a quiet guy except for when mom comes home from work. He barks with excitement and joy that she is home. They both just recently had their second teeth cleaning since coming to CPR and also had to have some tumors removed. Bowser had 2 removed and they were both benign. Tapanga had 11 removed and three of them were Mast Cell tumors so the doc has put her on a medicine that has been proven to help keep those nasty tumors from coming back. However it is pretty expensive and costs CPR $100 per month. They both suffer from old “Arthur” so they have to be carried up and down the stairs. CPR supplies them with Cosequin which is the best joint supplement on the market. This helps them be able to go to the dog park and enjoy life without pain. Bowser has it worse than Tapanga so he also takes a mild painkiller twice per day to ensure he is not suffering. They are very happy and well taken care of because of Colorado Pug Rescue, Animal Health Care Specialist, their foster mommy, and all the other volunteers that make it possible. CPR relies greatly on donations to be able to continue to care for pugs in need. Please make a donation in honor of Tapanga and Bowser. Thanks so much!! 
Beau and Hanna are 13 years old and might be siblings. They were relinquished from a shelter, so not much is known about them.
Beau is super sweet and mellow and has no teeth, but as you can see, he is a big jolly boy.
Hanna is the friendliest happiest girl you’ll ever know. She does struggle with incontinence and has arthritis in her hips

In this corner, weighing in at ten pounds, wearing the fawn coat, at the ripe old age of ten, Matilda B. Darling.
Don’t let her looks fool ya’; this small package is loaded with personality and even more spice. It could be her age. It could be her former life, which remains a mystery, as she came to us from a shelter. Whatever it is, this little mama demands your attention and will keep you entertained for hours!
It seems maybe a spot of dementia can sum up her tendency to be a bit grouchy. She loves all humans but will certainly let you know when she wants space, especially while she’s eating. It’s probably for the best that she be an only puggy, as she can get randomly possessive and confused and will get after her competition. It’s really humorous more than anything, as she has no teeth and is too little to even scare other dogs.
Along with being grumpy sometimes, she has some pretty severe arthritis in her hind legs, making her incapable of climbing any stairs, though she will step down just one stair. She also needs your help to cuddle with you gingerly in your bed or on the couch, although she will stay in her bed or on the floor. She just loves to be held like a baby on her back; we think it makes her legs feel better.
Matilda is adorable despite her grumpiness and seemingly random fits of jealous humorous rage. We cannot recommend children or cats, as we could not guarantee she wouldn’t be jealous or dominant. She has no known health concerns other than her once daily dose of Cosequin for her joints. She is housetrained and well behaved, with no chewing, anxiety or other behaviors that require you to be home all the time.
Oh yeah, we believe she has anteater ancestry because of her freakishly long tongue that she displays… all… the… time. We hope you can give this sweetie baby angel as much love as she deserves and enjoy her grouchy tendencies as much as we do.
Lucky is a GREAT dog! He is thirteen years old and very loving and playful for his age. Lucky enjoys other dogs but loves nothing more than his teddy bear. Lucky struggles with occasional seizures, eye ulcers, & cataracts. Lucky came to CPR in November 2010 after his family lost their home due to foreclosure.
