Pug of the moment

Dean

Male

4 years old

No special needs

Welcome!

PugHearts Dean aka Mr. Debonair Dean.

I initially picked him up from a wonderful couple that saved him.

Their pug was missing and decided to save him because the finder had him in the trunk of a car.

He was in bad shape and called PugHearts.

Good news is that they found their pug.

They loved him from the moment they saw him and was grateful to save this baby.

I decided I couldn't let him stay in the clinic and became his foster.

Dean is 4 years old and was he so happy he didn't even know where to go first.

Dean will have a long journey, we really don't know how he lived before coming to PugHearts.

Our vet is trying to pinpoint where the head tilt and imbalance are coming from.

They will try to rule out chronic inner ear infection or a brainstem issues.

He was fleas infested but we took care of that, he also has bald patches throughout his body and could use about 1 lb.

or 2.

He sleeps well in the crate and we're working on a potty routine.

He wants to thank everyone for their donations and send hugs and kisses to all.

Stay tuned for his care journey.

This was our first adoption from Pug Hearts and we couldn't be more impressed! We live out of state and Pug Hearts went above and beyond to come and inspect our home. Every step of the way all the volunteers I worked with were kind and quick to answer all my many questions through the adoption process. When I flew to Houston to meet the pug we were hoping to adopt, my flight was significantly delayed and our pug's foster mom took the next day off just so I could come meet with her! Our pug came to us in great health, fully checked by the Pug Hearts vet team, with detailed vet records for her continued care. We continue to stay in touch with the volunteers and our Pug's foster mom sending updates and sharing stories,. Not only did we add the sweetest pug girl to our family, we feel like we came away with new friends! We will always adopt from Pug Hearts from now on and highly recommend them for your family too!

We had an excellent experience working with Pug Hearts Houston. Everyone we spoke with and worked with was very nice and answered all of our questions quickly. Ann was awesome about coming to do the home visit for us since we live in a remote location in Colorado. Karen was awesome about giving us all the information we needed and making sure our pup was all set to travel back from Houston. We would recommend Pug Hearts for anyone looking to help find a pug a forever home!

We adopted a pug in 2020 from Pug Hearts. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about this rescue! Our pug had been found wandering the streets , was underweight and had severe behavioral issues. His foster mother worked with him for 4 months to get him ready to come home with us. Not only did we get a new family member but I made a great friend as well. They take in pugs of any age with any medical problem and provide them with not only the medical care they need but the love they deserve. No pug is left behind.

PugHearts is an amazing rescue. They are extremely thorough in the application process and truly care about the well-being of every single animal that they help. The organization has a wonderful group of volunteers, donors, and Fosters. The intake coordinator and the Director are absolutely wonderful to communicate with. They are very knowledgeable and caring. I have adopted three pugs from them and anytime I have questions or concerns they are quick to reply with a solution. Hands-down the best rescue in the entire world!!
