Our Dogs

HOSPICE Lila is a 9 yr old female that comes to PugHearts after being found wandering all alone.

She appears to have some problems with her back legs and is being monitored by the vet.

Lila is, happily, heartworm negative.

From Lila's foster: Meet Lila - our gorgeous Lila!!

She is a very happy, healthy 9 yr old that loves to play and cuddle and run - everywhere she goes!!

Lila is a special needs pug that has some neurological issues with her back legs.

We are not sure if this is due to an injury or birth - be please do not let this deter you from adopting her!!

She does not let this slow her down one bit!!

The biggest issue is elimination, as she is not always aware of pooping.

Lila does squat to urinate, but then hops about 3ft while going.

If she is leashed and you hold her, she will finish then move on.

She will also stand up when asked!

This sweet girl is a treasure and we are hoping that someone will give her a chance at a family - she deserves her own family and loves with her whole heart!

MEDICAL HOLD Tessa came to PugHearts from San Antonio back in November as a 7 week old puppy with a prolapsed rectum.

A prolapse will typically occur in puppies that haven’t been properly dewormed, causing severe diarrhea.

A purse string was put in by the vet in San Antonio prior to her transport to Houston.

What is a purse string?

Think of it as a drawstring in her rectum to hold her insides in, similar to holding the contents of a bag in place.

This is so important because the longer that the bowls are out, the more necrotic the tissue becomes.

The purse string stayed in for 2 weeks and less than 48 hours after it was out, Tessa prolapsed again.

She was rushed back to our vet to have an additional purse string.

This is when we assumed the problem was bigger than we thought and it was discovered that Tessa has no muscle tone in her rectum.

This purse string stayed in for 3 weeks, and this time she prolapsed less than 24 hours from removal.

I became quite versed in pushing her colon back inside her body every time she prolapsed, until her emergency surgery was performed the following day.

Dr. Hendrix performed a Coloplexy on Tessa, essentially pulling and tacking the colon to the abdominal wall and leaving no room for an additional prolapse to occur.

Since this surgery, we have been finding out all the additional problems Tessa has, and assume she born with this defect.

She has a total collapse of the 7th vertebrae leading into her pelvis causing nerve damage to the colon, which also gives her a funny gait and a spastic neurogenic colon.

She has the urge to poop all the time, and will posture constantly with some, little or nothing coming out.

It ends up on her, the other dogs, me and the wall on occasion.

She has to have her anal glands manually expressed on a weekly basis because her body can’t do it.

She will never be able to jump on and off the furniture or use stairs.

There’s mornings that I want to scream and cry while I’m scrubbing poop, but then I see her and everything is worth it.

We’ve treated her with prednisone and metronidazole to no avail, and we currently have her on Tylan which has helped the consistency be more formed.

She is on a strict diet of GI high energy wet food and Biome If Tessa hadn’t found her way to PugHearts, she would not be here.

There is no information on treating this condition because most dogs would have died or been euthanized.

PugHearts is fighting for Tessa and we are doing everything that we can to help her.

It’s not cheap, Her dog food is almost $80 a bag, but this little baby deserves the best.

SLPH accepts manufacturers coupons for the Hill’s Science Diet food, if you’d like to donate those at the clinic.

I had $15 worth today!

Today Tessa had her last booster.

At this point, most puppies would be ready for adoption.

Tessa is not.

We’ve concluded that Tessa might not ever be adoptable, but we also aren’t calling her hospice.

It’s unknown what Tessa might have to tackle next and with Pughearts and me as her foster, we will be ready to take on anything, but it’s not a burden we want future adopters to have to face.

Tessa is my baby.

She is spoiled rotten just like she’s suppose to be.

She spends the majority of her day being held or in my lap, and sleeps every night curled around my neck.

Please consider donating to Tessa’s care.

She deserves the world and PugHearts is going to give it to her

Welcome Gus back to PugHearts!

Gus was originally adopted in 2020, but recently returned through no fault of his own — his owner’s life circumstances changed.

Gus is the happiest pug you’ll ever meet!

At seven years old, he’s friendly with everyone, fully crate trained, and potty trained.

Just look at that face!

Set up a meet & greet soon — you’ll fall in love!

Foster Flynn is a 6 year old owner surrender through no fault of his own His fosters call him wiggle-butt because when he’s happy he shakes his whole butt instead of just his tail!

It’s so cute and hilarious!

Heartworm negative and ready to go!

This boy is a sweetheart so get those applications in!

Meet Tigger Tigger is a 6-year-old neutered male who is heartworm negative.

He is a Pug and Bulldog mix, currently weighing 47 pounds and working toward a healthy goal weight of 35 pounds.

Tigger has a friendly and affectionate personality and enjoys being close to his people.

He does well with other dogs but has shown some toy aggression, so he should be monitored during playtime.

He also tends to try to eat anything he can find, so supervision and a tidy environment are important for his safety.

Tigger is crate trained and knows several commands, including sit, stay, drop it, and leave it.

He is intelligent and responsive to training, especially when treats are involved, though he can be a bit stubborn at times.

Because of his size, energy level, and somewhat rough play style, Tigger would do best in a home without small children.

He will thrive with an adopter who can provide structure, continued training, and regular exercise to support his ongoing weight loss and help him maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Tigger is a loving and loyal companion who will make a wonderful addition to the right home.

Meet Keva, meaning Beautiful, one of the precious pugs from China.

Keva is back with PugHearts due to changes in her adopted home.

Keva is a 10 year old, heartworm negative slightly bossy girl looking for LOTS of attention and pug eggs to play with.

She adores her people and loves to cuddle.

HOSPICE Murray is a winky as he is missing his left eye.

He has IVDD (Intervertebral Disc Disease).

Murray also has a healed vertebral fracture, Spondylosis and hip dysplasia.

That being said, Murray has no idea that he should experience limitations with his activity.

He can and does do anything he wants.

He is on Rimadyl for pain and will remain on it throughout his life.

He is a sweet, loving cuddle bug.

Although Murray has his physical challenges they don’t stop him from doing anything he wants to.

He has been neutered and had his nares and soft palate done and is good to go.

He sleeps either on the couch or in a crate in the bedroom.

He uses doggie stairs well.

He loves treats and to play with toys.

He can be food aggressive so I either crate him or put him in another room to eat.

He is 90% potty trained.

He is sweet and likes to be loved on.

Comet was previously adopted and returned through no fault of his own!

This handsome 5-year-old male pug is the full package — healthy, happy, and full of love!

With his fawn coat and striking black markings, he’s as cute as can be, but his personality is what really steals the show!

He’s sweet, playful, and energetic – Always ready for a game of tug-o-war or a snuggle.

So far, zero accidents in his foster home!

He’s not a big fan of the crate and we’re working on getting him used to it (though he’s only in there for short periods of time when no one is home).

Comet gets along well with other dogs (as long as they don’t try to steal his dinner!).

This lovable guy is ready for a forever family who will cherish him and give him all the belly rubs he deserves.

Could you be the perfect match for this adorable pug?

Apply to adopt today — your new best friend is waiting!

HOSPICE Since Callie joined us in April 2022, she has lost an impressive 9 pounds, been diagnosed with Cushing's, is receiving daily meds that have leveled out or eliminated the majority of her symptoms.

Those symptoms consisted of nearly constant panting, excessive hunger and thirst, poor hair coat, restlessness, skin irritations, weight gain, and pot bellied appearance.

She will needs these meds for life.

She continues to be the bossiest, most active pug here (saying a lot, considering the pair of puppy foster girls), with daily toy box raids.

Her now plush coat will keep her pretty and warm as we delve into a long deserved Texas winter.

She's the most interactive, funny foster to ever dawn my doorstep.

We welcome her antics as long as she wants to entertain us.

HOSPICE Welcome Carrie Ann to PugHearts!

This is what I know about her so far.

7 years old, 11 lbs., she's small, super velcro and vocal.

HEARTWORM NEGATIVE!

She crates only for sleeping, has some separation anxiety when not able to reach her person.

Not currently house trained, but we're going to be working on that.

She will need a family that is patient, understanding and very loving.

A Family that will continue to work with her once she's in her forever home.

Sandy has done so well with our crew.

Oliver and Stanley adore her and finally have a play mate that can keep up with them!

It also gives our senior a break so she can rest more.

Sandy is 5 years old, heartworm negative and ready to go home.

HOSPICE Hi y'all, Chiquita here.

I'm around 12 years old.

I'm a tiny, fat girl.

I'm very petite, as they call me.

I weigh about 10 pounds, but I am a little over weight for my size.

I came to PugHearts after being left at a shelter with injuries to both my eyes.

I had to have 1 eye removed and the other I don't see much out of.

I also had to have emergency surgery because I had a prolapsed vagina.

I'm feeling much better now.

We are still trying to get somethings taken care of, but FoMo and FoPa both say I'm showing my sweet little demanding personality just because I really love to be held and sit with people.

I don't think that it demanding.

I'm currently on medical hold, while we get some other medical issues worked out, so it will be a while before I'm ready for adoption.

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.

Please Welcome Sherry to PugHearts!

Sherry is an 8 year old Pug Mix that came to PugHearts from a local shelter.

She was found as a stray with a broken leg and the shelter doctor did surgery to fix it.

She has healed fairly well and is only on a daily joint supplement to help with possible arthritis later on.

We’re not sure what Sherry is mixed with, but her wispy, wire coat make us believe there’s Terrier of some sort.

She has the most beautiful apricot coloring, perfectly lazy pug curly tail and a smile that lights up a room.

Sherry does well with other dogs, but would be perfect as the only child as well.

There’s not a mean or aggressive bone in her body and sometimes even the crazy little puppies can boss her around.

Sherry loves being outside laying in the sun, and will spend her mornings catching all the rays she can get.

Sherry is crate trained, and will go in on command of if she needs to get away from the excitement for a while.

She is house trained, and will go to the door waiting to be let out to do her business.

Sherry loves treats and is working hard on not taking off your finger in the process of getting one!

Nylabones and chew toys make her the happiest!

Sherry was spayed early on, and it appears she was really loved at one time, which makes her ending up as an injured stray in the shelter even sadder.

She is fully up to date on vaccines and is a healthy and happy little girl.

I know someone is out there wanting to give Sherry a home, and she deserves to be loved and spoiled, with plenty of couch cuddles and kisses!

Sunday a fawn female approximately 5 years old.

She is sweet and playful.

She loves her humans and will follow them constantly.

She has good potty habits as long as you direct her outside (she likes to play and forgets to potty if you don’t make sure she goes!).

She loves a nap on your lap and is perfectly happy to chill in the evenings.

She crates well but also does fine out on her own.

She will not be available until mid-November due to heart worm treatment.

HOSPICE This handsome fellow comes to PugHearts as an owner surrender.

We're unsure of the situation or reasoning for him being surrendered, and nothing hurts my heart more than an elderly dog who's been in a home for it's entire life and is suddenly surrendered.

He was understandably confused at first, but he has now settled in beautifully at his foster home.

Given that he's such a regal gentleman, his foster parents actually call him Sir Cash at home!

When he first came to PugHearts he was overweight at about 28 pounds.

It visibly affected his mobility and breathing at times.

In the short 2 months he's been here he has lost nearly 3 pounds and feels amazing.

He has so much more energy, has learned to go up AND down the wooden stairs (a lot scary than carpeted stairs).

Then when you consider he has some vision impairment, it's even more impressive how much he's learned and the confidence he's gained.

Just the other night he hopped up onto the big bed without assistance for the first time!

The reason for his vision impairment is most likely due to dry eye (very common issue for pugs) that was left untreated.

He is now on daily eye drops that keep him comfortable and to help prevent any further damage.

You wouldn't know the he's 11, he's very mobile, curious and engaged with whatever's going on in the house.

But he still has that calmness that comes with age, and of course he can sleep like a champ.

He does great with the other pugs, basically just ignores them (even the annoying 1 year old foster).

He also totally ignores the adult cats and kittens fosters in his home.

Even when the kittens bat at his face, he either ignores or moves away like a good boy.

He's also basically deaf, but it's a huge plus if your house is loud for any reason, because he does not care.

Also a hug bonus during construction, fireworks and thunderstorms!

His foster family as learned how to communicate with him and he's adapted very well, no doubt he would adapt to a new home fairly easily.

He enjoys soft toys occasionally, anything flavored that he can chew on, but his absolute favorite are soft dog beds.

He will play with, suck on, stretch out and curl up with any soft bed he can find.

I swear I've caught him doing yoga (downward dog position) with these beds!

Health wise besides the dry eye he's great.

Heartworm negative, fully vaccinated.

He had some masses removed when he first came to the rescue, they were fully removed and have healed well.

He takes Benadryl twice a day just as a precaution, which he'll take with literally anything you offer (peanut butter, cheese, etc).

Overall just a very chill, snuggly boy.

He does great out at breweries, meeting new dogs, having a lot of new humans over.

Nothing really phases him, he just wants that people love.

*Bonus* He's a rockstar for any tongue-out photos!

I truly believe there's a family out there who will love and appreciate him, and we'll keep him safe until he finds them

Priya came to PugHearts with a significant flea allergy that was giving her skin issues, so she was seen at our vet and quickly improved with proper care.

She is about 4 years old and weighs 21 lbs.

She is energetic, playful, loves being with people, does great in the kennel and in the human bed.

She is learning to go into her kennel to eat, doing great with her housebreaking (no accidents!

), and she is learning how to seek attention in a calm manner.

This girl is smart and picks up routines and commands quickly.

She does want to be the boss, so no other alpha dogs in the house please.

She is just going to keep improving!

HOSPICE Hermes comes to PugHearts from a Texas shelter.

He is 4 years old and heartworm negative.

Hermes comes with some medical issues that will need to be addressed: very bad skin, dry eye, a very long soft palate and he will be neutered.

Hermes has a cough that we hope will improve post soft palate resection.

Stay tuned for more on this super sweet boy.

Please welcome Caleb to PugHearts.

Foster Caleb is approximately 3. years old and came to PugHearts as an owner surrender through no fault of his own.

He is playful and a free spirit who enjoys playing with the other dogs in his foster home.

He also enjoys his down time too and loves to cuddle with his humans.

He has a sweet personality and can be quite fun and entertaining.

Caleb is crate trained and sleeps quietly all night long.

He gets along with all dogs; he has not been exposed to cats yet so we cannot determine if he’s ok around them.

Caleb would be fine around older children in the home, but we do advise monitoring around toddlers at first given his young age.

Caleb might be fine as an only dog but has not been assessed in an “only dog” environment since being in his foster home.

I'm going to reintroduce #phGrant back to y'all!

He is about 6yo, calm kind of chill kind of let's watch a movie and eat popcorn type of guy.

He was with us before for a few weeks and did great.

He unfortunately has been returned to PugHearts and he's looking for his really real forever home.

What's he looking for?

He's looking for a comfy donut bed, some chews and stuffies, some kind and mature love, the kind that isn't loud or rough or too spicy.

He likes to play and patrol the fence like most pugs.

He also prefers ladies I'm told but at my house he actually preferred foster dad.

My kiddo is 9yo and she's petting him in one of the pics.

I am happy to have him back and help him find his really real forever home this time.

And for info, he's giving me vibes of weekend Home Depot shopping trips along with some fall brewery visits on a nice weather.

He was a sweetheart at today's event.

He may feel overprotective at time so we will work on that but know that whoever adopts him will have to provide a secure environment that understands his body language so Grant doesn't feel like he needs to protect you.

More like he wants to feel he's protected by you, the Alpha.

If that's you, let's have a meet and greet and see where things take us.

Introducing the sweet & smart Logan!

This lovable pooch was rescued from a shelter in Mexico, and although we don't know much about his background, we do know that he is a smart and sweet companion.

At around 5 years old, he's got the perfect balance of energy and maturity.

Despite his past, he has a heart full of love to give.

With his charming personality and affectionate nature, he is sure to bring joy to any home.

If you're looking for a loyal and cuddly companion, this sweet boy is the perfect match for you!

~Currently working on learning basic commands: ~Learning how to let us know he needs to go potty (he’s getting better) ~Does great with other dogs.

~Would also do well being an only pet.

Please welcome Leon to Pughearts!

He is 10 yrs old Heartworm Negative and Neutered.

Leon came from a shelter in Mexico and Pughearts rescued him.

I would describe Leon as an old Soul with the most laid back personality, Leon would be great with any grumble since his presence brings the most positive energy, Does Leon sound like your kind of Pug?

He will be waiting for his forever home until then.

HOSPICE Rufus here, I’m a little guy maybe 11 or 12 lbs.

I’m about 10 yrs old.

Foster Mom says I’m just the most wonderful little guy and I’m a great cuddler.

I do love to snuggle and sit next to you and love getting belly rubs too.

I do walk wonky, they believe I had a neck injury at some time, but I don’t remember.

I can walk and run, just a little wonky.

I do require daily eye drops for my dry eye, and Rimadyl twice daily.

I do get along great with the pugs.

I am looking for my forever home.

Allow me to introduce Francis.

This gentle 5 yr old male has been through heartworm treatment and is ready to be adopted.

Francis is gentle and sensitive.

He prefers a home that is not chaotic, loud or overly stimulating.

He takes a bit to warm up to you, but once he knows you are safe...he is a love!

He like movie night on the couch, cuddles in the human bed and a quiet low key lifestyle.

Sound like your kind of guy?

Apply now!

Addison here, I’m 6 years old and looking for my forever home.

I was abandoned in an apartment when my former people moved out.

FoMo and FoPa call me “The Dancing Queen”.

Because I kinda dance around my back legs move around making my backend and tail look like I’m dancing.

They keep trying to take a video, but one of my foster brothers and or sisters always wants in on the action.

I'm a small girl around 16 lbs.

I look chunky, because I am, hehehe.

Yes I need to lose a pound or 2, that would also help with my breathing.

You see I do have a collapsing trachea.

I do not take meds for that.

I do take meds to help with the pH of my urine.

I am puppy pad trained, but I also go outside too.

Will you be my forever home?

Pickles is a sweet 3 yr old, unaltered male (waiting on his neuter).

He came to us due to an unexpected death in the family that forced this difficult decision on them.

He is HW- and weighs 12 lbs.

(Working on adding a few more lbs.).

Fawn colored and high energy.

He gets along well with other dogs, both small and large and loves children.

He walks on leash very well.

Pickles is SUPER excited about food and treats and is learning that he can count on getting meals regularly so that he doesn't have to scavenge for them in the trash cans or take others.

He currently sleeps in a kennel and has no complaints.

He really barks and is easy to quiet.

He is working on his potty manners and once he is neutered, we are confident he will be a pro since he is already using the doggie door.

Please say hello to this adorable little man.

This is Hayes.

Hayes came up from the valley and shortly after intake developed Immune Mediated Hemolytic Anemia (IMHA).

IMHA is a type of anemia.

Hayes was treated immediately and recovered well.

PugHearts also discovered that this sweet boy has an old vertebral fracture.

This means that an adopter will need to keep his weight down and monitor his feet for any sores resulting from spinal injuries caused by this old injury.

Hayes has been in the rescue for a couple months and is feeling much better.

He has been neutered and is ready to join his forever family.

This cutie is only 2 and just a sweetheart.

He is playful and gets along well with others.

Howdy every-puggy!

Meet PH Barnaby, the latest addition to the Franks foster grumble.

This sweet little guy is 3 years old, and just a whole lot of fun.

He was clearly loved at some point in his life, but found himself out on the streets.

He thankfully is healthy, but definitely needs to gain some weight.

He has such a fun energy, loves to play with toys, loves to fetch and play with the other dogs.

He loves people big & little.

He does well in a crate, and has been doing pretty well with housebreaking.

He will be neutered and have his under-developed eye removed at the end of the month, then will be ready for his forever family!

He will make an incredibly cute winky.

What do you mean you have to “go into the office?” Foster Ronin much prefers my remote work days, but he’s been a good boy when I have to head into the office.

He’s earned the privilege of not sleeping in a crate overnight, and sleeps on dog beds in our room with the bulldogs.

He’s still using the dog door and doing well learning the house rules.

He has bunny soft fur and is ready for his forever home!

#phadoptme (Foster Ronin, 4 years old, 19 lbs, ready NOW)

HOSPICE Foster Alden (aka Little Bear).

Could he be any cuter?

This sweet boy is so fun and entertaining.

Ewok?

Maybe, but whatever he is, he’s one of a kind.

Bonus - he loves children!

Alden is 8 years old, 13 pounds, neutered, nares and palate surgeries done, and 100% ready for his furever!

Lydia is 3 ½ years old and a very tiny little girl.

She was found as a stray and when she arrived she was in very poor condition.

But that was 9 months ago and she is now happy and healthy.

She has been treated for heartworms and a massive load of intestinal parasites with great success.

Lydia is the opposite of alpha.

She is a very timid girl and even after all this time of being cared for and treated with love she is still timid.

But she is very loving and wants nothing more than to be held and cuddle by her person.

She does well with the other fosters and does play at times.

Lydia will be a great girl as an only pet or part of a family.

She craves the attention of her person and would so enjoy not competing with others.

She is ready to take the next step in her recovery and find her forever home.

Nelly joined our home as a foster about 6 weeks ago.

She had been found as an underweight stray in New Caney.

She has been spayed as well as having had the nares and palate surgery performed to set her out on the right tract.

Nelly came to us presenting an interesting behavior of swirling very quickly apparently trying to do harm to her tail.

Well, she doesn’t want to harm herself.

The twirling and tail chasing happen when she is suddenly startled or is overwhelmed with a situation.

AND sometimes when she is irritated at me.

After 6 weeks Nelly rarely settles into the twirl except when she is happily expecting food.

Nelly is now totally potty trained and additionally uses the dog door to go to the backyard to potty on her own.

She is VERY treat trainable.

This funny little girl is so smart that she will next next to where she did potty and wait for me to come with a treat.

I think Nelly was used to being alone.

She has nothing much to do with the 3 other dogs in my house.

I have also realized that she is not a fan of being held or cuddled.

However, wherever I am in the house, she is right there on the floor next to me.

We haven’t had any fights.

I am slowly working on getting her used to being held.

She is working on taking turns at feeding and snack times.

She can swoop in so quickly to snatch a food treat.

I feed her in a dog pen at mealtime.

I feel so positive about how far Nelly has come along in 6 weeks.

Sky’s the limit little girl.

Autumn here, I am about 7 years old and weigh 13 pounds.

I come to PugHearts as an owner surrender through no fault of mine.

I am heartworm negative.

I have a large arch in my back and Luxating patella, but I walk and get around great, I even run.

I love being with people, but I am a little shy until I get to know you.

I get along fine with the other pugs here.

FoMo says I'm just a wonderful little lady and that I am just the cutest little thing.

She just loves the tad of white on my toes.

I'm looking for my forever home.

I love my food and big, comfy, fluffy dog beds.

Sitting in my people's lap is one of my favorite things.

Will your lap be my favorite place to be?

Good morning everyone.

I'm Hugo da Boss.

I'm 1 year old, 13 pounds, and full of puppy energy.

I had my neuter, nares, and palate done last week, so I am ready for YOU!

I love playing with toys, running around the backyard, and these things called morning walks.

Over the last 4 days, my house manners have improved dramatically.

I'm extremely smart, if I do say so myself.

By the way, I'm completely blind, but it only took me a couple of hours to map out the house and the yard and I very rarely bump into anything.

Honestly, I don't understand what all the fuss is about.

Being blind hasn't slowed me down one bit.

FOMO says if you miss your opportunity to adopt me, you are missing out on one of the bestest boys EVER!

You can wait to possibly see me at Pugs On The Bayou, but if you wait, you might just miss out on the best thing that could ever happen to you cause I might just be of the market by then.

Huckleberry (bio) is around 18 to 24 months old.

He is an owner surrender that needs a home with only maybe just one more dog or maybe two.

He is a little shy and seems to like it best when he is the only dog around the human.

He is getting better though.

He has been with me only a few days and needs time to settle in.

He has a bad eye and is HW+, so he has to go through treatment and get neutered and they will decide what to do about his eye.

He is cute and is very friendly.

HOSPICE OMG meet Melba(Toast).

She is our newest foster.

14 years old an 8 lbs.

When Erika Landers asked if we wanted to foster her, she looks much larger in her photos.

Chiquita is no longer the smallest and oldest here.

Melba has only been here only about 3 hours and has already won us over, especially Bruce who is partial to Chihuahuas.

She may be a Chug but looks more like a Chihuahua.

I’m not used to a dog with a nose.

Melba is thin and needs to gain a little weight She has bad skin with hair loss, but with meds and good food, hopefully that will change soon.

This 4 year old beauty came to PugHearts.

She is a sweet little 11 pound girl, who needs to gain a few.

Sadly she was heartworm positive, so she fought hard and made it through!

Quinn has been a perfect house guest and has been very well behaved.

Quinn completed heartworm treatment and her calm/quiet time.

She is now adoption ready and waiting for you!

HOSPICE Wednesday is spreading joy this weekend, hoping you're all on the nice list while trunk-or-treating!

She's been an angel in her foster home, learning routines quickly and showcasing her sweet nature.

Watching her play with toys and carry them around is pure delight.

Although shy and skittish at first, she's blossoming into a confident, long-legged chug.

Her energy level is perfect, and she's a pro at sleeping in her crate all night.

With only one minor accident, potty training is going smoothly.

Hospice due to cancer.

HOSPICE Casey is a 12 year old heartworm negative fawn female Pug.

She is deaf and blind but don't let that fool you, she is a sassy little pug.

She loves to walk around the yard, snuggle in your lap, rub her face into your leg and let you scratch her back.

She is housebroken and crate trained!

She gets along great with other calm dogs.

Casey is blind and deaf, so she does not like surprises.

She is the perfect little pug!

At 8 years old, Huxley is the perfect mix of playful and laid-back.

He enjoys short bursts of playtime but truly shines when he’s curled up on the couch next to his favorite human.

A true snuggle bug, Huxley is happiest living life at a slower pace, soaking up love and companionship.

Huxley has been patiently waiting in foster care since December 2024, dreaming of the day his forever family finds him.

He’s a gentle soul who just wants a cozy spot, a kind heart, and a family to call his own.

PugHearts’ friends, I’d like to formally introduce our newest foster, Nick!

This handsome fella, with the perfect smile, is only 7 years old and is as happy as happy can be!

Nick gets along great with everyone and has made himself right at home!

Unfortunately, Nick is heartworm positive and could lose a few pounds, but don’t let that stop you from meeting him.

Nick is neutered and will be ready for adoption around February!

Regardless of the fact that he needs to wait a bit before heading on to his forever home, this sweet boy truly deserves a wonderful family to call his own!

Meet Frank!

In another life, Frank could’ve been a sheepdog — he’s a natural at keeping everyone in line and loves being the boss.

With the softest fur and an energetic spirit, this rowdy guy is always ready to dance, sing, and cut a rug.

Frank is a big fan of chewing (so make sure he has plenty of toys!)

and is still working on his potty training, but he's making great progress.

He has a mischievous side too — if he manages to slip out the door, he won’t get far before hopping into your car like he’s saying, “Road trip?” And yes, he’s a fantastic passenger.

Snuggly, smiley, and rocking an impressive underbite, Frank is always ready to make you laugh and melt your heart.

Please Welcome Maggie Mae to PugHearts.

She’s a product of Corpus Christy’s streets.

Maggie Mae is about 7 and weight 12.2 lbs.

She’s seems to be trained to go outside to due her business, even in the rain.

Being so tiny, and maybe being on the streets for a while, she will now have a time to put about a fourth to half a pound on her body.

Maggie has to be encouraged to eat.

Maggie Mae is very quiet and loves sitting on my lap.

She is crated at night for now which is something I normally don’t do.

She has no problem going into the crate.

She has had a great time watching the birds and squirrels.

Lucille is a special senior lady.

This beautiful spunky girl comes to PugHearts after she was left in the yard when they moved out.

She is heartworm negative and is feeling much better following a dental.

Lucille is 10 years old, heartworm negative and is interviewing for human servants to make her sunset perfect.

Meet Marino!

We sprung this sweet little boy out of the clinic today.

We were told that he was very fearful and head shy, likely from being treated poorly in his short 2 year life.

He was definitely shy when we first picked him up and twinged at every move of my hand.

He let me hold him and he somewhat relaxed on the ride home.

Our crew was a little overwhelming to him, and it took some coaxing with treats for him to come inside.

Thankfully he is a typical food oriented pug, so meal time made him happy and he started to relax a bit.

He’s now sitting with us on the couch, and I know it’s just a matter of time before he’s playing with others and trusting us more.

Welcome to the good life PH Marino!

(The name doesn’t fit him yet..) Isn’t a handsome guy with that pink nose?

!

This sweet boy with the absolutely gorgeous brown eyes and a mangled pelvis has been settling in nicely.

He is quick to learn the rules and understand the sometimes crazy schedule.

He is growing more accustomed to me leaving the house or even the room, meaning he is getting more comfortable.

He knows I will always be back.

Sebastian came to us with nasty skin, patches of fur missing and after rads were taken, it was discovered that poor Sebastian had an unfortunate run in with a car resulting in a pelvis broken in many places.

Lucky for Sebastian, his injuries didn’t kill him, and his body healed showing now obvious signs of injury.

He is med free, but has started a joint supplement for maintenance.

Sebastian is 2 years old and heartworm negative.

Sebastian loves toys, being outside and is working on house and crate training.

I’m so proud of him!

Please welcome beautiful Viola to PugHearts.

This sweet doll, if you remember, was dumped at a local park in terrible condition.

She was covered in fleas and was absolutely exhausted by the time she was brought to our clinic.

Viola is estimated to be 7 years old.

She has severe dry eye, which can be managed with medication.

Due to her dry eye, her vision is impaired.

Viola also has mild mobility issues, and has  lost her hearing.

However, this doll has navigated my house perfectly since arriving.

Viola is a late sleeper too, this girl loves her beauty sleep!

Viola certainly did not deserve what happened to her, but only the best life ahead now awaits her.

Welcome to PugHearts, beautiful Viola, we’re so glad you’re here and now safe with us!

Hi!

Meet Derek!

Derek is a handsome 5 year old boy with a gorgeous apricot coat.

He has a such sweet manner about him.

Not sure of his previous life, but he seems to not really understand what it’s like to have a loving family.

He’s coming around quickly though, and loves to sit with his people and pug friends.

He has a goofy side, loves toys and sleeps in the funniest positions.

He crates well, and seems housebroken, although he’s marking occasionally.

This is improving now that he’s neutered!

He is healthy and ready to meet his forever family!

Betsey is a 15 year old spitfire.

She uses that adorable little face to get what she wants.

She is very active for a 15 year old with arthritis.

She loves to roam around and follow her human.

She doesn’t give the other dogs any attention.

So, she could be the only princess or she could fit in with a full grumble.

Humphrey has the absolute best personality!

This spunky 6 year old never meets a stranger or a toy he doesn’t love.

He oozes with love and happily encourages everyone he meets to give him cuddles.

Humphrey came to PugHearts skin and bones, with patchy fur and unsure about life…also, he was given his name for a reason, but all of that is on the past!

He is squishy, with the softest fur and now that it’s grown back, his coloring is adorably unique, with white socks that just add to his cuteness and….no more HUMPING.

This beautiful boy is healthy, talkative and at 6 years old, he ready to start his new life with his new family!

Doggy door and house trained, understanding boundaries and baby gates, Humphrey will flourish in any home environment!

Mitch is a 3 year old neutered mail pug.

He is a little smaller and very sweet, but a little hyper.

He will need someone that can redirect his energy to good.

He was found living outside for most of his life and reportedly was almost hit by a car and a bus.

He has had a not so nice life, but now he is on the road to being an inside dog that knows how to be a pug.

He is heartworm positive.

He will be ready for adoption as soon as he has finished his treatment mid July.

Hunter is a older gentleman.

He was found wandering all alone.

Hunter prefers to be the only dog in the home.

He ADORES his people and wants all of the attention in the home.

He would prefer no small (highly active) children.

He is heartworm negative, and needs to have eye drops daily.

Please welcome Foster Paulo!

He is 4 yrs old and learning more about him everyday.

Paulo is 4 yrs old and what I do know he does very well in the crate at night.

He is a sweet boy and only have had him less than a week and will update as soon as I see his personality shine through!

Pablo is an 8 year old male that is fully ready for adoption.

He is neutered and is heartworm negative and very sweet.

He has real personality.

He was an owner surrender with 2 other dogs in Brownsville.

He doesn’t seem to have any major issues.

He is good with other dogs, big and small.

He will talk to you if you put him in a crate but he does settle down.

Meet my newest foster, Marco—he’s pug-kin adorable and currently on the lookout for his Polo!

This 3 year old cutie was a Christmas puppy, but his owners soon realized their schedules were too ruff for a young dog.

Now he’s with PugHearts, taking some time to decompress, gain confidence, and learn that the world can be a safe, loving place.

Marco is healthy, sweet, and will be ready for adoption once he’s neutered.

He’s a little shy right now, but with patience and love, he’s sure to unleash his full potential.

Don’t wait—this handsome guy is ready to play a lifelong game of Marco… Polo with his forever family.

I've only had Eden a day but I'm very much in love with her.

She has been absolutely perfect and she is super loving.

And I think she's beautiful.

There's just something about the way she looks at me that melts my heart.

Eden is 5 years old, weighs 21 pounds and is heartworm negative.

Once she is spayed, she will be ready to make someone the perfect companion.

I highly recommend you don't let this girl slip through your fingers.

Eden has recovered from her enucleation and is starting to show her personality.

She seems to really like toys She is at that sweet spot for pugs at 5 and is very well behaved.

She is a super loving girl but is starting to show her playful side also.

I have no idea of her past life but she is quire comfortable in the house and as sweet as they come.

She has settled in like she's been here forever.

Sunny is about 4 years old, balanced energy level, very food driven, smart and trainable, great with all humans and gets along with other pugs.

She met a cat and she ignored the cat, but her foster doesn't have cats.

She is growing her fur again, after fleas, and gaining some weight.

She was picked up as a stray in the hard streets of Houston, so she is heartworm positive.

She will be treated and be ready for her forever home by early August.

She has mastered our routines to perfection including crate, potty outside with zero accidents inside the house since welcoming her here, and honestly she's just perfection.

For those curious, she is getting along great with my kid, my senior pugs and my younger pug.

She also spend a whole day with visitors of all ages including other dogs and did great, she followed me everywhere like a great little host and helper.

Therefore, I recommend her future family to me one with medium level of activity to keep her engaged physically and mentally.

She's very smart and food driven so I suspect she can pick up a sport or a trade in the pug therapy (or just work at being cute) very quickly.

Don't let this beautiful sweet soul pass you by.

Schedule a meet and greet now.

Cassius may be small but he has a tremendous amount of love to give.

This 2 year old love is heartworm negative and looking for his forever.

Cassius is very smart and learns quickly.

He’s great with other dogs and adores our 9 yo daughter.

He doesn’t bark a lot and loves to sit with me as I work.

Come meet this super sweet lover boy.

Meet Sweet Bud….

This poor baby came to us from a shelter in the RGV.

Bud comes to us with a severely broken jaw and superficial Injuries.

He has been this way for at least a week.

Despite his painful injuries, he is so happy and wants nothing but love.

He is also blind.

He will be at the clinic in the morning.

Bud is heartworm negative, about 8 years old.

PH June had her spay yesterday, so she’s also cleared and ready to go.

She’s estimated to be about 5 months old and does not have that puppy energy - at least not yet.

She’s happy to curl up on my lap, but the other pugs have other plans for her!

Please join us in warmly welcoming Rebecca to PugHearts and her new foster family, where love, care, and compassion await.

This remarkable mom has shown incredible strength in the face of adversity, from being abandoned and frightened to receiving critical veterinary care, including the loss of an eye and spaying.

Although she struggled to eat and raised concerns, Rebecca's determination has paid off, and she's now blossoming in her foster home, building trust and enjoying snuggles.

While she may take a little time to open up, Rebecca will lavish you with love and affection once she feels secure.

At approximately 3 years old, this courageous girl has weathered numerous litters, leaving her body scarred, but she's now embarking on a journey of healing and restoration.

From this day forward, Rebecca will bask in the warmth of nourishing meals, plush beds, and limitless kisses and cuddles.

Kane is a 30 lb.

gentle - giant who is as sweet as they come!

He is completely blind, but getting used to his halo.

In true Pug fashion, he absolutely loves to take naps (on the couch and in his crate), so he would do great in a quiet home, with not so active humans.

He does well with daily morning and evening walks.

He’s gotten to know the neighborhood dog walkers and their fur babies.

Although he was found as a stray with facial injuries from an obvious dog attack - he is still friendly with other dogs.

He is crate and potty trained ( not a single accident since he got here).

He’s had nares surgery to help him breathe better and has been neutered.

He is heartworm positive and will undergo treatment soon.

He also has dry eye that will require daily drops to keep infections at bay.

All this being said, he’s an absolute doll.

Kane makes friends wherever he goes and is an absolute love to everyone he meets.

He will definitely help make your house a home!

Precious Nelson was found wandering all alone and had significant damage to both eyes.

This is likely caused due to untreated dry eye.

The eyes were causing him discomfort, so we made the decision to enucleate.

He is about 4 years old, heartworm negative and neutered.

Please give this sweet gentle soul a chance for a happy and safe forever.

Please welcome Oscar.

He is a 3 year old, heartworm negative owner surrender.

Oscar is a big boy at 24 pounds and exceptionally handsome.

He has been with me a week and in that time it has become apparent that he has never had any attention, either loving, training or discipline.

He is somewhat of a wrecking ball but it's just because he's so excited to have attention.

He seems to be getting the concept of behaving.

I'm planning to introduce him formally to the public next week at the dog show on Thursday.

How he behaves will determine how long we're there.

Introducing Foster Benjamin to Pug Hearts.

Foster Benjamin is 5 years old.

He spent the majority of his previous life outside and is unfortunately heartworm positive.

He will be getting neutered soon and later start his heartworm treatment.

What I know so far ... ~ He is super sweet ~ Gets along with other dogs ~ Great with kids ~ Sleeps quietly in his crate ~ Working on potty training but doing very well ~ Adorable teeth Foster Benjamin will be available after his heartworm treatment.

Etta is a 10 year old female who likely has had a rough life prior to being rescued.

She is post-surgery for bladder stones, hence the diaper which could be a temporary measure.

Etta has little support from her back legs, but she manages to maneuver flat surfaces with resolve.

This is a spunky and affectionate senior who deserves the best for her golden years.

Sweet Baby Angel……… That’s what I call him often but you can call him Penn.

He is a gentle warrior.

He recently came to Pug Hearts after surviving the streets of Mexico and is now bravely looking for his forever home.

He is so calm and gets along well with the other dogs.

His body shows some evidence of his prior life: He is trying to gain some weight, he recently lost his left eye and his vision in the right is possibly lights and shadows.

This doesn’t stop this boy from exploring his surroundings with sweet curiosity.

He navigates my house pretty well.

He is otherwise healthy.

He is 5 years old and is heartworm negative.

Mornings on the patio are just his speed.

Foster Lawrence Joseph is quickly learning our routine and seems to enjoy hanging on the patio first thing in the morning.

He is so low maintenance and accommodating.

He is go with the flow and the perfect dog if you're looking for a calm one.

Larry is 8 years old, requires daily eye drops which he takes easily, has a touch of arthritis (don't we all!

), is very loving, gets along with other dogs, and loves to be petted and loved on.

Riley is a handsome 4 year old with impeccable manners at 24 lbs.

He made himself at home from day one.

After getting fixed last week he is now available to be adopted.

He is house and potty trained.

He has dry eyes so will require daily eye drops.

Riley will allow you to put such eyedrops without any issues.

He also will let you dress him with costumes and doggie jackets.

His appetite is unstoppable like most healthy puggies.

Very respectful with anything at home.

He likes to cuddle, especially at night but also likes to have his space for daily naps.

Loves walks and after hearing somebody outside he will let out a couple muffled mini barks.

Riley sometimes will look out to play with other dogs but is also happy to let them alone, if they don't want to be bothered.

Riley is a gentleman looking for his forever fam.

Could it be you?

Clara is about 6 years old.

She was found as a stray and taken to a shelter and brought here.

She is very sweet and loves people.

She also loves toys.

She does good with other dogs, large and small.

Children will be ok, but small kids should be supervised.

Clara is crate trained and is potty trained, for the most part.

She is heartworm positive and has already begun her treatment and will be ready for adoption soon!

Leticia 6-year-old Pug | 21 lbs.

| Drama Queen in Recovery Leticia is a 6 year old pug coming to us from the streets of Mexico in rough shape.

Currently she’s being treated for an enlarged heart that causes fits of coughing.

She’s doing much better than she was when she came in two weeks ago and don’t let her current condition fool you - this girl is full of personality.

There is no shortage of chasing around two legged and four legged members of the house around and she is very vocal about what she wants and when she wants it.

After 6 years of a life I can’t even imagine, she is truly living her best life now full of cuddles, snacks, soft beds, and lots of loving words.

Leticia is not currently adoptable as we work on treating her heart, but keep an eye out for this one she’s definitely a keeper.

Welcome to Richie!

This happy, bouncey boy is 7 years old, heartworm positive and the sweetest boy ever.

Always happy and always nearby, Richie is here to bring you joy and giggles.

Introducing the amazing 2 year old foster Anna!

This girl has had so many injuries, but has come out the other side so cheerful and loving and pain free.

Anna was found in the middle of the street by a kind soul that thought she had already passed.

When approached, Anna lifted her head to say Thank You!

Rushed to our vet, and once again SLPH was able to work miracles with her.

Her head injury has resolved itself, her broken Pelvis and jaw will heal, her left elbow has been surgically repaired and still healing.

This girl has so much spirit, some spunk and attitude - she will be easy for someone to fall in love with, just like I have!

Meet Ruth.

She is new to PugHearts.

She is blind.

She has heart worms.

She is underweight.

She comes to us as a local shelter dump, I suspect because she aged out of making puppies for profit.

She has lots of healing to do and groceries to eat.

But already she wags.

Slight smile detected.

Leash manners noted.

Hope exuded.

Greatness expected.

After just a few days here, Ruth reveals her spunk with a good game of bite my bed, then falls asleep randomly with her head in her bowl.

She is very attentive and attached to me already.

She displays some fear of other pugs, but wags like crazy every time she does not see me.

Don't discount the blind and broken among our stock.

They have just as much love and humor to share.

Ruth is aged at 8 years old.

Look for a Christmas ready date, and follow her posts meantime!

PH Gage is working on his portfolio.

He is 8 years old and was found wandering and eating trash.

He wants to be cast as a detective in a noir film.

He’s *very* good at finding all the missing tennis balls and hedgehogs.

This sweet, funny, engaged, curious boy is working on getting healthy for his forever home.

He is bouncing back spectacularly from a liver episode (we are looking for good news at his vet check on Friday).

Next up: beating those nasty heart worms.

Gage has some spinal issues, but they are not much of an impediment to him.

He happily chases balls and runs through the house to find his people.

Gage will need a home that will love him as he is, but he has a massive heart full of love to give back.

Say hello to foster Potter!

Potter was attacked by another dog, then dumped at a shelter where PugHearts was called to saved him.

He had to lose an eye, but that just makes him extra lovable.

He’s been great with both my kids, bigger dog, small dog, and just wants to be loved.

He is definitely food motivated but we are working on that.

At 3 years old and heartworm negative, he is ready to find his forever.

Welcome Foster Arza to PugHearts!

He is truly like a cartoon character.

He is 10 years old with limited vision but that does not slow him down.

He may run into things sometimes but he isn’t phased.

He can keep up with the younger pups.

Not phased by cats Crate trained Working on potty training Loves to play with toys and other dogs Older and handsome is sometimes better than the young ones!

Foster Truman 6 yrs, has been settling in well these past few days and let me tell you .. once he gets Neutered.., This boy will be a gem.

Look at those Beautiful eyes!

He is super sweet and is scheduled for a Neuter in October.

Stay tuned to his transformation to come!

Flint is a small black male about 15 pounds and about four years old.

He was just found wandering all alone.

He is heartworm positive and will begin his treatment on November 10 and in about 30 days will be ready for adoption.

Introducing Keely Keely is a 5-year-old little lady who just landed in foster care yesterday, and she’s already showing us what a gem she is! ?

She appears to be house trained, and she snoozed quietly in her kennel like a pro on her very first night.

Did someone say Sassy??

Is she ever!!

A squat chatterbox with loads of opinions on everything.

All the words.

The whole freedom ride home.

Then during that intro bath (not sure if I or the dogs get more relief from these), followed by more commentary.

What a charming 14# goblin this one is.

I can't wait to share her revelations with you while she heals from her former life.

Sassy is 8.

Sassy has been bred.

Repeatedly and RECENTLY.

Her spay is set.

No more will she be a puppy/cash cow.

Then we will contend with her heart worms.

Sassy's new improved life has just begun.

I'm sure she'll tell you (and me) all about it, and the many more to follow, in her social posts.

If you love a good lecture, keep this one on your radar.

Sassy will be ready Christmas.

Toss some wonderful wordiness under your tree, and fill your life with these expressive, epic head tilts.

Meet Asher, affectionately nicknamed “Asher Basher” because he barrels into life with full puppy energy and enthusiasm.

This handsome 2-year-old Frug (French Bulldog/Pug mix) is solid, strong, and uniquely square, with an adorable Pug face and the sturdy Frenchie body to match.

Asher is still learning his manners—he’s working on “sit” and other commands—but his happy personality shines through every day.

He’s curious, playful, and loves to keep busy with toys, kids, and other animals.

When playtime is over, he crashes into a deep, snuggly sleep right next to his humans, because being close to people is his favorite place to be.

With his goofy grin, expressive ears, and boundless puppy charm, Asher is sure to make a wonderful addition to a loving forever home.

Harmony is a 6 year old, loving, easy-going girl with a heart full of warmth and devotion.

She’s fully potty trained and has great manners — she’ll happily eat her meals in her kennel but would much rather spend her nights snuggled up in the big bed right next to you.

Harmony is the ultimate Velcro dog — wherever you go, she’s right there, ready to offer love, loyalty, and a gentle nudge for more pets.

She enjoys calm walks, cozy naps, and being part of your daily routine.

Rio is an energetic 4 year old who loves to play with other dogs but also loves to cuddle.

He is house trained and will stare at you until you take him outside.

He will sit for his dinner and is crate trained.

Rio needs to be in a home that has another dog wanting to play.

This is Kevin.

He’s 5 years old, waiting on his neuter.

His happy times are meal time and any time he’s with his person.

He’s sitting calmly next to me while the rest of the crew chase each other around the yard.

Amazingly, he’s house trained and kennel trained.

Look at his perfect profile!

Consider adopting this jewel!

He gets along with kids, other dogs and even cats!

I was contemplating how to write this post on Foster Jane.

It’s not the news I wanted to hear but when you Foster you have the best days with a Foster and then you have the Bad days to the worst… I took Jane in last week on her cough since it sounded not like the cough of a collapsed trachea but something else going on.

It sounded like fluid when she would cough.

As I read the Notes on Friday night my Heart sank and I wanted to burst out crying.

But I kept my composure as I was out in public celebrating my Mum in laws Bday.

Foster Jane’s Diagnosis is : Pulmonary Hypertension with Mainstem Bronchial Collapse.

The next words I read was QUALITY OF LIFE…..

Right now we are trying to keep the cough under control and see if the meds she is on will help calm the cough.

I am hoping and praying she will be strong enough to go through Heartworm Treatment and be able to pull through everything….

I am giving her the best of her little world that she can get as my Foster in my house.

She still is Happy, loves to eat and play.

Please keep her in your prayers as this will be a journey and every day is a special day as long as she can make it through and thrive.

I am not sure what her outcome will be in the future, but for now ..Each day is a gift and praying for better news to come.

Tomorrow is not promised so we shall live each day to the fullest.

Sweet little Moyo has been through a lot, but you’d never know it from his bright spirit and happy heart.

This brave boy came to us after suffering a broken pelvis, and spent time on kennel rest to heal.

Now that he’s feeling better, he’s ready for his next chapter — a forever home filled with love, belly rubs, and snuggles.

Moyo is gentle, affectionate, and endlessly sweet.

He gets along wonderfully with kids, other dogs, and even cats — he’s a little social butterfly who loves everyone he meets!

His calm nature makes him a perfect companion for families or anyone looking for a loyal little shadow to brighten their days.

After everything he’s overcome, Moyo deserves the best: a cozy spot on the couch, a family to call his own, and someone to show him that the rest of his life will be nothing but love.

So she comes with puppy energy!.

She is doing good on her potty training.

We don't have cats so unsure on cats.

She is doing well on crate training.

Unfortunately she is heartworm positive, so she will be here a few months to go through heartworm treatment before she available for adoption.

She's also a little thin but we are working on that and that makes her very happy.

She will go quick when she's available so get those applications in!

Ozzy is a 3 yr old male.

She is an 8 year old owner surrender and is very confused and anxious with the turn of events her life has taken.

Claire is a very hefty girl at 22 pounds and needless to say she is now on a diet.

She is HW- but that's an end to the good news.

She has an ear infection, severe dental disease, nose roll has dermatitis and has not been spayed.

She will begin her road to health once she settles in and is more secure.

To say Claire is beautiful is an understatement.

Her profile is the envy of all pugs.

She seems to be an active 8 yo and will make a great companion to the perfect home.

Keep you eye out for updates as she begins her journey to happily ever after.

She may be looking for a new address for Santa to use this year.

Let me introduce myself….My name is Toby and I am a Handsome 4 yr old neutered, boy who has a beautiful black mask.

I am a Loving and Playful, Dog Friendly, potty trained, crate trained Jolly Pug.

After enjoying a day of playing with my fur friends I enjoy chewing on Himalayan Dog Chews and Elk Antlers while curled up in my Bed and Blanket.

For those cold winter days I am content to spend time doing whatever you are doing… watching a good movie, helping clean the house, working at home with you and I will work for Dog Treats.

I am currently going through Heartworm Treatment and will be ready to ring in the New Year with you around the second week of January, which is right around the corner.

So hold my Christmas Present under the Tree and don’t forget to send in an adoption application for Toby!

Joseph - Joseph and his 2 sisters were discovered in the Rio grand valley being sold road side while vomiting up pumpkin seeds.

A rescuer was able to secure all three puppies and quickly got them to the vet where they all tested positive for Parvo.

Luckily Joseph pulled through and is a bucket of energy!

He is doing great with potty training, loves toys, people, kids, and my other pugs!

He needs a high energy home that will love him because he deserves only the best after his tough start in life.

Tippie has joined our pack for a few months and I cannot wait to get to know this gorgeous girl!!

And remember - Tippie would be ready to go if her house had just spent a few dollars on HW preventive!!

Always protect your family!!!

Elvira would love to have a home of her own as she is ready to adopt

2 year old Elsa is every greeting card photographer's dream.

Her tail is double twirled toddler perfection.

Her nose roll could hide at least one sandwich.

Her eyes look east and west in sync.

Her face begs the retort to every dumb, unanswerable question.

She is barky and busy and all things puppy.

Sadly, Elsa is also heart worm positive, in that her former humans didn't consider the importance of preventatives.

Elsa is 13 pounds of tiny, joyful fawn nugget.

She would love a playmate or two, human and dog.

She will need dry eye drops for life and is being spayed today 11/24.

Watch for Elsa to be home ready late March.

Claim her now, if you dare.

Follow her antics on the socials, either way.

Meet Rocky — the high-octane, merle-coated, black-and-beautiful pug who looks like he was dipped in unicorn sprinkles and then wound up like a toy you forgot to turn off.

At four years old, Rocky has *one* mission in life: to be smack-dab in the middle of whatever you’re doing.

Cooking dinner?

He’s your sous-chef.

Folding laundry?

He’s quality control.

Kids playing?

He’s the self-appointed referee.

Another dog in the house?

Perfect — Rocky *lives* for tag, chase, zoomies, and any form of chaos that involves movement and applause.

He’s silly, energetic, playful, and has the kind of personality that makes you wonder if he secretly drinks espresso when you’re not looking.

And that gorgeous merle coat?

You’re not going to find another pug that looks like him — he’s basically a limited-edition collectible with a built-in wiggle.

Now, Rocky does have heartworms, which means he’ll need to go through heartworm treatment — but he’s already on track, and once he’s done, he’ll be ready to fully unleash his goofball energy on his forever family.

In the meantime, he’s soaking up love, showing off that one-of-a-kind coat, and auditioning humans who appreciate a comedic sidekick with boundless spirit.

If you’re looking for a fun, unique, action-loving pug who will keep you laughing (and keep your other pets or kids busy), Rocky is *your guy*.

Alvin is a tiny (12 pound), 2 year old black male.

He is happy, playful and 100% attached to his person.

Alvin is heartworm positive and will have to go through treatment prior to adoption.

He is worth the wait and a gem of a guy.

Don't wait on this adorable fellow.

Introducing Simone Simone has only just arrived at PugHearts, but she’s already stealing hearts.

This beautiful little black pug is estimated to be about 2 years old, and she came in extra small—just 9 pounds!

She’s skinny right now and will need to gain some weight, but even once she fills out, Simone will always be a petite girl compared to most pugs.

What she lacks in size, she makes up for in love.

Simone is already showing her affectionate nature—she wants to be near her people at all times and follows us everywhere.

She’s learning quickly from the pack and is doing wonderfully with potty time, proving she’s a smart little lady eager to fit right in.

Simone’s journey isn’t without challenges.

She is Heartworm Positive, which means she’ll need several months of treatment before she’s ready for adoption.

But with patience, care, and lots of love, we know she’ll come through stronger than ever.

She should be ready by March of 2026!

For now, we’re celebrating her resilience and the joy she brings.

Follow along as Simone blossoms, gains her strength, and lets her personality shine even brighter.

This tiny girl has a big future ahead, and we can’t wait to share it with you.

Yes… that Theodore, the sweetest little chipmunk of the bunch.

He came in with his brother and sister, Alvin and Simone, and at first we feared all three might have canine herpes virus.

We were so relieved to learn they were all negative their outcome could have been very different.

Unfortunately, our adorable Theodore did test positive for heartworms, so he won’t be ready for adoption until around February.

But honestly?

That just means he’s perfectly timed to be someone’s Valentine’s Day baby.

At just 11 pounds, this smutty little cutie is every bit as lovable as the Theodore you remember.

Don’t wait to claim this precious boy.

Hi Everyone, I'm Max!

I was a stray found all alone, covered in mud and scared, but I was rescued by PugHearts!

But that's not all I am!

I'm excited to meet you!

My favorite thing to do is to roll around in the grass even when I'm on my leash and harness!

But I shake it off when I am done, so as not to bring in any trimmings.

I also love playing with toys with my Foster Dad's pug.

I am friendly and enjoy showing my affection by licking everyone.

I may duck away when you pet me on the head (I'm Just a little scared), but I want your approval and pets anyway.

I love belly rubs.

I love my kibble and will eat happily, but I will tell you my favorite food is sweet potatoes especially fresh made!

I had my nares surgery and neuter, so all I need is my eye drops at bedtime so I can see the people I love.

I am heartworm positive right now, but my fosters are taking great care of me until I get my heartworm treatment done and I am "good to go".

I'm excited to meet you!

Welcome foster Jameson to PugHearts!

Jameson (who we are already calling Jamie) was abandoned in a dog park around Halloween and has finally been sprung from our vet after getting treated for worms and a respiratory infection and waiting for a foster home to open up.

We believe he is around 5 years old.

So far we know he loves to play with toys, gets along great with his new dog foster brothers (the pugs as well as our 40lb doodle) and loves his 10yo human foster brother.

He was a little fearful of my husband at first, but warmed up within minutes once he offered him a treat.

He is great at the fetching part of fetch, not so much the returning.

Sadly Jameson is heartworm positive as well as being underweight with a pretty beat up coat at this point.

He will neutered in a few weeks and will be ready for adoption in February/March timeframe once he completes heartworm treatment and crate rest.

In the meantime we will get him a bit fattened up and healthier all around and help him settle in and realize he is safe and starting to live the good life!

Introducing Foster Daisy to PugHearts.

This sweet lady came in as an owner surrender with a list of health concerns.

She is now starting to receive the love and care she needs.

Daisy is 5 years old and 13 lbs.

of pure love.

She is currently dealing with dry eye requiring drops, heartworms, dermatitis, UTI and ear infection among other things.

She will soon have her spay surgery and surgery to remove a mass.

She is on the road to recovery!

Despite her health issues, she is full of love and kisses.

She absolutely adores being around people of all ages!

Welcome to health and healing and love sweet Daisy.

This is PugHearts!

Meet Millie, our newest foster pug!

She’s been with us for just a week, and here’s what we’ve learned so far: Millie is about 3 years old She is crate trained and mostly house trained (just a couple of accidents!)

She is a little spunky, a little silly, and a LOT playful — this girl loves her toys A whole bunch of cute and even more sweet.

She prefers humans to dogs, but gets along just fine with dog friends A tiny girl at 11 lbs., but she’s working on filling out Millie will be ready mid-January after her spay, nares, and dental Millie is available for meet & greets now and would love to have a forever home waiting for her when she’s ready.

Colton is a handsome one year old sweetheart.

He comes to PugHearts after being found running loose in a Houston neighborhood.

After efforts were made to find his family, he made his way to PugHearts.

This little guy gets along well with other dogs.

He is heart-worm negative and healthy.

Colton freely gives soft kisses when you pick him up.

He enjoys zoomies and playing chase in the yard with other dogs.

Better get your application in soon as I can’t imagine he will be around for long.

Egan came to PugHearts from a local shelter after being found running with a Husky friend.

He is an amazing guy and very dog friendly.

Egan is 1 year old, weighs 17 pounds and sadly, but not surprising, he is HW+.

He is an extremely sweet and loving boy to say nothing about how handsome he is.

His eyes just melt my heart.

But what really gets me is he craves to be held and he will just melt into my body when I hold him and he will stay like that until I have to move.

He also loves to take afternoon naps with everyone and curls up in the crook of my knees.

He is a very well adjust boy and gets along with all the fosters.

You can tell he was around big dogs because he loved my daughter's Great Dane when they visited.

While Egan is a very young pug he's not that over the top crazy puppy.

He does have his playing moments but he doesn't run zoomies around the house like most young ones do.

He is learning rules, he jumps on me when he gets excited and he's learning 'down' and he's learning that outside is where he needs to potty.

He hasn't been neutered long so he should begin to get better everyday in that department.

I think Egan will be perfect for any home who just wants to love him and make sure he is safe and cared for.

I'm old and he seems to be perfectly satisfied with my inactive life style but he has enough energy that he will be a great fit for a family and children.

He is just a well rounded pug as far as temperament and I highly recommend anyone who may be interested in adopting around the March time frame after he completes his heartworm treatment.

Keep this guy on your list but don't wait too long to make a decision because he will be snatched up before you know it.

Celeste is a beautiful little two month old puppy.

This little girl is as sweet as can be.

She showers you with kisses when you hold her.

Celeste loves her older foster pug brother and follows him around hoping for a little play time with him, and he is happy to oblige while playing ever so gently with her.

Celeste has no fear.

She is curious and active.

Celeste self-entertains with small toys and nylabones.

Celeste is sure to bring much joy to her furever family.

Linus is a gentle, sweet cuddly 3 year old male.

He is heartworm negative and neutered.

This wonderful guy gets along with everyone and is really searching for a lap to cuddle up in.

Tony is a 4 year old happy boy.

He came to us after being found roaming the streets and has transitioned perfectly into a little gentleman.

Tony has the best potty manners of any dog I’ve ever met.

He is playful but also likes to chill: The best of both worlds!

Loves his hoomans and even though he may initially bark to strangers then he is all about making new friends.

Kisses are his love language and he will rest his chin on you while watching tv.

Loves car rides and is friendly towards other dogs no matter what size.

Toby is very smart and will do anything to please you.

He will be available by late February after defeating heartworms.

Tony won’t last long so apply to meet him today!

Please Welcome Imelda Imelda arrived this afternoon from the RGV.

It has been a long time since the condition of a foster has created such rage and disgust in me.

What in the Sam Hill is the human race coming to???

Imelda has massive scabs and bleeding wounds all over just from itching!

And her head is entirely covered in skin that is raw and scabby.

I can't pet her without hitting one of them.

It's not often that I cry on the way home with a new foster.

I immediately gave her a medicated bath and let it soak in for 20 minutes to see if it would give her some relief.

I'm pretty sure bathing is a foreign concept to her.

She's now in pj's to hopefully stop her from making herself bleed.

She goes to the vet tomorrow for intake and we'll know more about her condition after that.

What we know now: Imelda is thought to be around 12.

She has had untreated demodex for a very long time She has blood in her urine She has severe dental disease that will likely cost her most of her teeth.

Looks like her eyes haven't been cared for Heartworms ?

More than likely ??

Probably not spayed I am so angry that she has been so neglected for a very large part of her life, maybe forever.

It looks like she may have been a mother many times over so she may come from a puppy mill or backyard breeder.

But now that my rant is over, negativity doesn't do anything for Imelda and raises my blood pressure.

She is where she needs to be now.

PugHearts will make sure she receives the medical attention she so desperately needs and I will make sure she is loved and taught that some people care and will keep her safe.

Thank you to JV for getting her out of the shelter and driving all the way to Houston today with her.

She is such a pretty girl and I'm so excited to see her personality develop and to see her all healed and ready to find a home that she has no idea exists for h

Bugs, affectionately known as Bob, is an 18 month old male.

Bob is all legs, energy, playfulness and joy.

After being found wandering all alone, with significant fleas causing very itchy skin, this boy is healing up, wrestling and hanging out waiting for his forever.

Bob needs a very active home and lots of attention to keep his mind and behavior in a good place.

If you are looking for a happy ball of energy, Bob is your guy!

Say hello to Hamilton!

This handsome big boy made the trip all the way from the Rio Grande Valley.

Hamilton is as sweet as they come — a total gentle giant with a very Velcro personality.

If he’s not right next to you, he’s probably trying to be!

We’re so excited for this lovable boy and can’t wait for everyone to meet him!

Hello PugHearts World!

Meet Grace, an 18 month old female.

Here are details about Grace - Velcro pug, sweet and loves to cuddle - Acts like a puppy-very playful - Does well with other dogs, but is sometimes overly playful - Doing well with house training.

- She loves chew toys and doesn’t destroy stuffed toys - She has a little patch of bald spot on her right side but is not noticeable.

Her fur is really soft - she loves to dress up Don't wait on this gem.

Every once in a while, a dog arrives who reminds us exactly why we do what we do.

This month, that dog is Brielle.

Brielle was brought to a shelter as a stray and immediately rushed into our care due to her severe medical condition.

At only six years old, she is facing the consequences of long-term neglect, untreated ear infections that caused calcification and painful mass growth inside both ear canals.

Her balance is affected, she is uncomfortable, and the world around her feels scary.

Despite everything she has endured, we see glimmers of the sweet spirit inside her.

Those little bursts of joy that give us so much hope for the future.?

On Monday, Brielle was examined by our vet and it confirmed the difficult reality: her ear canals are hardened and narrowed to the point where the only treatment option is surgical intervention.

Brielle is currently undergoing aggressive antibiotic care and cold laser therapy to prepare her for the total ear canal ablation.

This surgery will remove the infected canals entirely, which means Brielle will lose the remainder of her hearing, but it will finally free her from the constant pain she has been living with for far too long.

Her road to recovery will not be easy, and it certainly will not be inexpensive.

Please keep Brielle and her veterinary team in your thoughts as we enter this critical phase of her care.

And if you are able, we would be deeply grateful for any donation toward her medical expenses.

Foster Mila is discovering the good life…It’s been a whirlwind since we brought PH Mila home from the kennel.

One of the things Mila does to help regulate her overwhelming feelings is to hold a stuffie toy in her mouth.

If one stuffie is good, then 2 is better, right?!

This sweet girl is resilient and resourceful, and she’s already settling down.

We’ll be watching for the 3-3-3 rule (3 days to decompress, 3 weeks to find their place and learn the routine, 3 month to truly settle in and show full personality).

So far, Mila has shown us she is sweet and affectionate and loves toys, especially stuffies.

Keep following Mila’s journey!

She’s ready to adopt now and we’ll continue to share what we learn as we get to know her.

3 years old, 22lbs, heartworm negative, spayed, nares and palate surgery , ready for her FUREVER!

Pumpkin is between 8–12 months old, and despite her young age, she’s already experienced neglect.

She is also heartworm positive.

I cannot stress enough the importance of year-round heartworm prevention.

Please, please keep your dogs protected.

Heartworms are no joke, and now instead of this sweet, beautiful girl being adoptable in a few weeks, she’ll have to stay with me until March for treatment something that was completely preventable.

There is absolutely no reason for this to happen.

Pumpkin is going to make an incredible addition to someone’s family, so I wouldn’t wait to get your application in.

She likely won’t be available if you wait until March.

Please welcome Jackson to the rescue!

This sweet, 3-year-old boy absolutely adores his people.

If you’re looking for a true shadow, Jackson is your guy.

He loves relaxing on the couch in the evenings and, on work-from-home days, he’s usually sprawled out under the desk near my feet.

He’ll occasionally wake up to look out the window, but squirrels and passersby don’t really interest him—he’d rather be close to his humans.

Jackson sleeps in a crate at night and does very well.

While he’d happily trade it for the big bed with his people, he’s learned that his crate is his safe place.

He wasn’t thrilled his first night, but now he only fusses a little on the weekends—mostly because a pug knows breakfast can’t wait!

He gets along great with other dogs and has no issues letting my alpha run the house.

He’s learning how to play with my Boxer and has discovered the toy box, often helping himself to a bone and hopping up on the couch to chew while we watch TV.

He has shown zero interest in inappropriate chewing.

Jackson is crate trained, doing well with his house manners, and is learning to ring a bell to let us know when he needs to go outside.

Most of the time he waits by the door, but he’s already tapped the bell a few times.

He’s a smart boy and will have this skill mastered in no time!

He’s already been neutered and has had his nares and palate surgery.

He takes daily eye drops for mild dry eye, but he sits patiently the entire time and happily accepts his treat once I’m done.

He’s a healthy boy and ready to join his forever family!

Please welcome Kristoff to PugHearts.

Foster Kristoff is estimated to be around 6 years old and came to PugHearts after he was found wandering the streets.

He is very spunky and loves to be in the know of what’s happening around his foster home.

Thankfully he is heart worm negative, but his time on the streets did leave him with a lingering cough after an upper respiratory infection.

He will need to be neutered after he is completely recovered.

Kristoff is a sweetheart that gets along with the other dogs in his foster home and loves to walk around in the backyard.

He really enjoys spending time cuddled with his humans.

He is crate trained and sleeps quietly all night long.

And he is potty trained and has not had any accidents in his foster home.

Please give a warm PugHearts’ welcome to Remington.

This sweet boy came to us after his owner sadly passed away, and from the moment he arrived, it was clear he was deeply loved.

At 9 years old, Remington is a beautiful boy with the softest expression and a heart to match.

Remington gets along wonderfully with other dogs, lights up when you call his name (the head tilts are truly unmatched), and sleeps quietly through the night.

Even though he won’t be ready for adoption for a few more weeks, he truly deserves a special family to call his very own.

We are still getting to know this handsome fella, but welcome PugHearts, Remington — we’re so glad you are here!

Meet Dahlia, a petite pug with a thoughtful soul and the gentlest gaze.

Estimated to be around a year old, she carries herself with the poise and manners of a pup who’s already learned a thing or two about the world.

Dahlia isn’t the whirlwind of chaos many expect from a young pug—she’s a little unsure, needing guidance & the assurance of other dogs around her.

Every day in foster care, Dahlia reveals a little more of who she is—her quirks, her preferences, her blossoming confidence.

There’s a whole personality waiting to unfold, and we’re lucky enough to witness it in real time.

Stay tuned as Dahlia continues to open up, settle in, and show the world the gentle magic she’s been carrying all along.

Meet Mariah, a three-year-old pug with a whole lot of personality packed into her tiny frame.

She’s a gorgeous little chatterbox who always has something to “say,” especially when she’s excited or looking for attention—which is often.

Mariah thrives on being close to her people, happily following you from room to room just to be part of whatever you’re doing.

She’s also a big fan of canine companionship.

Playtime with other dogs is one of her favorite things, and her joyful energy makes her a fun addition to a multi-dog home.

Since she’s still settling into foster life, we’re learning more about her every day.

Early impressions show that she’s doing well with house training, especially when kept on a consistent routine and taken outside regularly.

Mariah is affectionate, social, and full of charm—an irresistible little pug who’s ready to bring laughter and love to her future family.

Are you looking for a complete snuggle pug that melts in your arms?

Then Mammoth is the baby for you.

He loves to be held and is content chewing on yak chews.

He will be ready for his forever home soon!

!

Breck is the most sensitive ski baby.

He loves to be held and cuddled.

He is happy and playful but not a crazy puppy.

He is velcro and loves his person.

Will you be his person?

Aspen would like everyone to know this is her bench.

Small pug, big confidence.

One paw draped like she pays the bills, soaking up the sunshine, supervising the yard, and looking impossibly cute while doing absolutely nothing.

Aspen is sweet, curious, and clearly ready for her close-up (and her forever family).

If you’re looking for a tiny pug with main-character energy and a heart to match, she’s waiting for you!

Brighton here to report that playtime is VERY serious business I may be small, but my love for toys is BIG.

Give me a sunny patch of grass, a squeaky (or tennis ball), and a human to cheer me on, and I’m living my best life.

I’ve got the cutest little pounce, a curly tail that never stops wagging, and eyes that say “you can’t possibly say no to me.” I’m sweet, playful, and would really love a forever family to throw my ball, cuddle me after, and call me theirs.

Until then, I’ll be right here practicing my adorable poses.
