Our Dogs

Meet Carter Carter is a 10-year-old chunky little gentleman FULL of personality.

He has the sweetest little smile, makes hilarious facial expressions, and does tiny happy hops when he wants to tell you something.

He still plays with toys like a puppy, loves belly rubs, cozy couch cuddles with a blanket, and snacks (he has a soft spot for Chick-fil-A, though he’s on a diet!).

He’s a total ham, but has excellent couch manners and can fit into a home whether dogs are allowed on furniture or not.

Carter came to PugHearts as an owner surrender alongside another senior pug when his family went through some life changes.

He gets along WONDERFULLY with other dogs and cats and would do best in a calmer home without young kids, as he has some arthritis that makes him a little wobbly.

He may need help getting on and off furniture to stay safe!

He may be slightly hard of hearing, but he learns quickly with hand signals and positive reinforcement.

He does get a little vocal when he wants something (did I mention the Chic-fil-a..?)

but we are actively working on correcting that with him.

Carter is also making great progress with housetraining, as he is almost ready to graduate from the belly band only 2 days into being with his foster.

Crate training is going well and he sleeps wonderfully through the night!

He’ll go home neutered, heartworm negative, and with a simple routine that includes daily eye drops and arthritis medication as needed.

Carter has a minor procedure scheduled for 4/30 to remove a few small lumps and bumps, but nothing is slowing him down from living his best life today!

If you’re looking for a squishy, funny, food-obsessed cuddle buddy with endless personality, Carter is absolutely your guy!

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!

!

Perfection comes in many, many forms.

Today perfection comes in the form of 13 year old Mushu.

LOOK AT THOSE EARS.

They’re my favorite part of a pug and hers call to me.

Mushu was with PugHearts many moons ago and sadly had to come back due to life circumstances.

She has only been with me for a few hours, but so far she is happy (even after just having surgery to remove bladder stones), curious, fine towards the other dogs, and loves to give kisses.

She is on a prescription urinary diet to help prevent those nasty stones from coming back.

Is anyone looking for a sweetie pie of a senior to keep your bed warm?

Please welcome Dominic I’ve only had Dominic for one day, but he is already settling in exceptionally well.

He is 7 years old, weighs 20 pounds, and is a returned adoption.

Despite the changes in his life, he has come in with a sweet spirit and has done great with all of my other fosters.

It amazes me that he is seven years old and he has not turned gray.

The only white he has is on his chin, and it just adds to his charm.

Dominic is heartworm negative and neutered, however he is diabetic.

Please don’t let that scare you away.

I’ve been managing diabetes with Sassy for two years now, and it truly just comes down to keeping a consistent schedule.

They are absolutely worth the effort.

Dominic will need a dental, and once that is completed, he will be ready to find his forever home.

He’s already showing me what a loving, easygoing boy he is, and I know there is someone out there who will be so lucky to call him theirs.

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

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 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.

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.

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.

Logan is a 7-year-old sweetheart who has been with PugHearts for over two years, patiently waiting for his forever home.

Originally rescued from a shelter in Mexico, his past may be unknown but his loving, gentle nature shines through every day.

He’s the perfect mix of calm and companionship, with a heart full of love to give.

Logan enjoys relaxing, soaking up the sun, and being near his people.

He does great with other dogs but would also be happy as your one and only.

If you’re looking for a loyal, easygoing companion, Logan might just be your perfect match.

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 has been in foster care since 2024.

He had healed, gained confidence and trust for people.

PugHearts 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.

At this time, he is healthy and happy.

Hayes has waited for his forever a long time.

He deserves everything good and a love like no other.

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)

Medical Hold ~ 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 getting ready for his furever family!

Lydia is 8 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 definitely an alpha.

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

She prefers that to be 1 on 1, without other dogs in the home.

Lydia will be a great girl as an only dog.

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?

I took one look at Sprite's picture and knew she is my kind of foster.

Sprite was in a shelter in the RGV, is 15 years old, 9 pounds, blind, diabetic, HW+, has skin/hair issues, dry eye and can be a real bitch.

She totally hates one of the puppies I have.

And she is without a doubt one of the most perfect pugs I have ever laid eyes on.

We are monitoring her sugar and trying to get it stabilized.

She takes insulin 2X at day at 7am and 7pm.

I have alarms set and I think she's figured out when they go off she's going to get fed, she gets super excited.

Her diet is strictly monitored and she gets nothing but her food.

She acts like she's starving all the time but I think she has put on a little bit of padding in the last week.

I hope once she can be bathed her hair will begin to fill in.

But she is absolutely beautiful just as she is!

Sprite is never very far from my side.

She is either on the couch with me, in bed with me or following me around and trying to make me fall and break a hip.

As I said above she can be very bitchy so I have lovingly given her the nickname of Sassy Pants (I cleaned that up from what I originally called her).

I love my BBBB girls, Beautiful, Black, Blind, Bitches.

Sprite is an amazing old lady and I hope there are several years ahead of her to be spoiled and know love.

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.

This 5 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!

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.

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 male 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.

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.

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.

The queen of sass, the stealer of hearts — but once you earn her trust, this tiny, but mighty, little love will steal your heart — June is still searching for her very special someone.

She isn’t your typical pug, and she needs a person who understands that her journey looks a little different.

June can be reactive, she is very shy, and is easily overwhelmed.

New people make her nervous, and she needs time — real, patient time — to decompress and feel safe.

She won’t come to you right away, but she will come to you when she feels secure, understood, and confident, and ready.

After 10 months with us, one thing is certain: June thrives on love, predictability, and trust.

She needs a calm home without small children or loud, chaotic environments.

She’s not a day-one snuggler, but she is a lifelong companion once she feels safe and confident in her home.

When June finally settles in, her true self shines — quirky, loyal, expressive, and full of spicy personality.

She just needs someone willing to meet her where she is and give her the time she needs to adjust.

June would also do very well with a dog in the home as she thrives around other furry companions..

If you believe the best relationships are earned, not rushed, Junie Bee might be the girl who changes your heart forever!

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

He reminds me of a little dump truck in the way he is built…compact and solid.

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!

Get your application in today.

Braxton may be 7 years old but he has energy and loves to play with all dogs….tug o war, wrestling and zoomies in the yard are his specialty.

He needs to be in a home with at least one other dog that loves to play and can match his energy.

On the flip side, Braxton will also settle (eventually) and cuddle with his humans.

He is crate trained, house trained and is the perfect alarm for someone at the door or passing by your window.

He is ready for his forever home so don’t wait to put in your application.

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.

He is an absolute sweetheart, but his little mind gets a wandering sometimes and just needs a little correction.

Look at those Beautiful eyes!

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

Stay tuned to his transformation to come!

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.

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

Roxy5 Dawn Smith<beautiful01@hotmail.com> ?info?

Roxy is a doll!

she's sweet and adorable and is estimated to be 5 yrs old.

She has been bred but no more!

As she can now be the puppy she never got a chance to be.

So she comes with puppy energy!.

She is doing good on her potty training.

She gets along well with all our dogs.

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!

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!

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.

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

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

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!

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!

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.

Merlin is a wonderful 4 yr old male.

He is playful and happy.

Merlin is heartworm positive and is in the process of completing heartworm treatment prior to adoption.

Merlin loves yak chews, soft squeaky toys and playing tug of war with the other pugs.

He is looking for a fairly active family that wants to include him in all of their activities.

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 Shanti Shanti is a happy, playful 6-year-old pug who believes life is better when you’re close to the people you love.

And by close… she means right next to you.

Shanti thrives on human connection and wants nothing more than to be involved in whatever you’re doing—whether that’s relaxing on the couch, moving around the house, or heading out for a walk.

She’s affectionate, attentive, and full of enthusiasm.

Shanti can get easily excited and a little impatient when she’s eager for attention or fun, but that just adds to her charm.

Her joyful personality and bright spirit make her a constant source of smiles.

Shanti is heartworm positive and awaiting her spay, but she doesn’t let that dampen her outlook on life.

She’s playful, loving, and hopeful for a future where she feels safe, cherished, and truly at home.

Shanti would do best with someone who enjoys an affectionate, people-focused dog and is happy to give her the attention she craves.

In return, she’ll offer loyalty, companionship, and a whole lot of love.

If you’re looking for a pug who will make you feel like the center of her world, Shanti is ready to meet you.

Amos is a 5-year-old sweetheart who is learning what it truly means to be safe and loved.

He was found starving on the streets of the Rio Grande Valley, and we’re slowly helping him put on some much-needed weight as he blossoms into the happy boy he was always meant to be.

This gentle soul is neutering soon and will then begin heartworm treatment, but none of that slows down his loving spirit.

Amos adores being close to his people—whether that’s snuggling up beside you, soaking in affection, or settling in for a really good nap.

He’s just beginning to discover toys and seems delighted by every new little joy.

Amos does wonderfully with other dogs and has been fantastic with every person he’s met.

He would make a wonderful companion for just about anyone—just be sure to watch your step, because Amos likes to be right at your feet wherever you go.

With his calm, affectionate nature, Amos is an easy companion and a true heart-stealer who’s ready to continue his journey surrounded by kindness, comfort, and love.

Meet Stella!

Sweet Stella is a happy girl, her tail a constant blur, but sadly she came to PugHearts with a laundry list of health issues.

Topping the list is severe heartworm disease which has caused an enlarged heart, pulmonary hypertension, increased exertion to breath, and anemia.

Spay, palate, and nares surgeries are on hold until her body is stronger.

We’re also working on putting some much-needed weight on Stella.

As you can see in the photo, her ribs and hips are clearly visible.

Stella is happy to comply - she loves food!

The vets at Sugar Land Pet Hospital have worked hard to get Stella stabilized but she has a long road ahead of her.

Continue to follow Stella’s journey as we get her ready for her fur-ever.

Maxwell is a 5 yr old male.

He comes to PugHearts after being found wandering all alone.

We are glad he did!

Maxwell is dealing with some liver irritation that is responding well to medications.

Sadly, he is also heartworm positive and will have to go through treatment prior to adoption.

Even with all his medical challenges, he is WONDERFUL!

Sweet, gentle, getting along with the pug group in his foster home.

This gentle boy deserves all the best and PugHearts will work to find it for him.

She is enjoying the finer things in life….. basking in the sunlight with a yak cheese stick.

Foster Jocelyn is settling in at her foster home but she is ready to enjoy her own home with yak sticks, cozy beds and a loving family.

She is 4 years old, healthy and sweet as can be.

She gets along well with all of the dogs.

She is much improved with crate and potty training.

A bonus…..her coloring is so pretty.

Please don’t overlook this beautiful girl.

Meet Nathan, a 2-year-old, heartworm negative pug with a big heart packed into perfectly squishy little body.

Nathan is a sweet, goofy guy who loves being close to his people—whether that’s following you from room to room, curling up beside you on the couch, or greeting you with his signature pug snorts.

At two years old, he’s got that great balance of playful energy and chill vibes: he enjoys short walks and playtime, but he’s just as happy settling in for a nap.

Nathan would do best in a home that appreciates classic pug charm—adorable expressions, lots of personality, and a serious love for snacks and cuddles.

Welcome Tillie Tillie came to PugHearts a few weeks ago as an owner surrender.

Her right eye had a significant ulcer and despite the owners efforts it was not improving.

They wanted Tillie to have the best chance of keeping the eye so she came to us.

Tillie is 3 months old today.

She had an eye check yesterday and thanks to Dr. Hruzek we are now confident that she will NOT become a winky!!!

This baby is a force all in a new class of her own.

She is constantly moving, thinking and getting into anything she can find.

She is also a land shark, she still has needle puppy teeth and we're working to direct her mouth to appropriate chewies and toys.

She is more fun to have around than I can describe.

Tillie is a very happy, healthy and beautiful pug.

She weighs 5 pounds and is a little on the smaller side right now.

She will be available for adoption in a few months once she has been spayed and has her last round of vaccinations.

If you're an active family and want to add pure sweetness to your life, Tillie is your baby.

This petite gentleman is full of love.

He has only been here a short time but you can just tell he is going to make someone's life complete ??

Jesse is... ~7 yrs old ~Finishing treatment for pneumonia ~15 lbs.

~So squishy!

~Calm & loving ~Good with other dogs Apply now for this sweetie!

Please welcome Herbert to Pug Hearts.

He is a nine year-old, owner surrender, that came in a week or so ago.

And he's fantastic!

I call him Herbie and he has a fantastic personality.

He is always alert, he is very loving, he has big bright eyes, he cocks his head, perks his ears, and interacts with me on a regular basis.

He is an extremely active 9 yo.

Herbie has a broken jaw.

He went in on Monday to have his teeth cleaned and to let our vet do a thorough examination of what was going on with his jaw.

His jaw is not able to be fixed, but he seems to have adapted very well to it, it's been a while since it was broken and not fixed.

Herbie is the second foster I have right now with a broken jaw, the first one is Bud.

They're both great dogs, they eat kibble, they eat milk bones, and they play with toys.

They have completely adapted to the issue with their mouth and it doesn't bother them in the least.

And I think the tongue is adorable.

Sadly, Herbie is heartworm positive, so he will not be available until the April/May timeframe.

If you're thinking about adopting a pug this is a perfect timeframe for when school's out for the summer and you are spending more time on the home and with family activities.

Keep him on your list, I strongly recommend if you want an active pug that has his quiet moments to take a long hard look at him.

Agnes is a 10-year-old sweetheart who is ready to enjoy the softer side of life.

She will be spayed soon and will undergo heartworm treatment along with a dental, but none of that defines who she is.

What truly matters is the calm, gentle presence she brings wherever she goes.

Agnes is deaf and blind and has degenerative disc disease, yet she gets around just fine and confidently navigates her surroundings once she’s familiar with them.

She loves her naps, cozy spots, and peaceful routines, and she’s perfectly content moving through the world at her own comfortable pace.

She pays no mind to other dogs and is happiest doing her own thing—making her an easy, low-key companion in a home that values quiet comfort and consistency.

Agnes doesn’t ask for much, just patience, gentleness, and a loving place to rest her head.

If you’re looking for a serene, affectionate companion who will bring warmth and calm into your home, Agnes may be your perfect match.

Charles is a healthy, potty trained, crate trained 6-year-old.

At 20 lbs., he’s on the bigger side, but that just makes him more huggable (and he is VERY huggable).

Charles seems to love children and would be happy in a home with a family.

He has a very easy-going temperament and loves to snuggle with his people.

If one of his people works from home, he will gladly keep you company throughout the day (though he may alert you to delivery drivers).

Charles does well with other dogs.

He enjoys neighborhood walks and does well on leash.

Jude is an 18 month old male brought into the care of Pughearts where he has been neutered and been brought current on his vaccination, but he is heartworm positive.

He will have to have his treatment and rest time before he can be adopted.

He is a very sweet young man who will love to have a forever family.

Tiny size.

Big energy.

Pure joy.

Meet **Foster Sprout**—a *teeny tiny* girl with a *huge* personality!

Fern is an early addition to PugHearts in 2026.

This sweet 3-year-old girl is an owner surrender through no fault of her own; they just didn’t have the time to give her the attention and care she needed in her old home.

She has a few medical issues to work through, including treatment for those nasty heartworms, recovering from a little cough, and then her spay when she gets back to good health.

So far she is happy in her new setting and getting along with her grumble companions.

Thanks to PugHearts, Fern is getting the love and care she needs to be a perfect family member!

Justin: 2 years old, 17 pounds Justin is an adorable little black boy.

He came to PugHearts with heartworms so will be with his foster family until mid-April.

Until then, he is playing with the other fosters.

He loves toys and likes to play tug of war.

Then he wants to snuggle with his person or on a comfy sofa.

Justin has a good appetite, gets along with the other dogs, is kennel trained and house trained.

He gets excited at meal time, spinning and barking until he gets his kibble.

This little guy is way too cute and sweet to not be pending!

Aston is a 7-month-old petite pug puppy who is ready to find the loving furever home she deserves.

Aston had a tough start to life, but she has come through it with so much resilience and sweetness.

She has healed beautifully from demodex and her coat is growing back wonderfully, and now she’s healthy, happy, and ready to start her next chapter with a family of her own.

Aston is also a special little “winky” girl, which only adds to her charm.

She does require daily eye drops for dry eye in her remaining eye, but she handles it like a champ and it doesn’t slow her down one bit.

Her personality is just as adorable as her face.

Aston is a loving little Velcro pug who enjoys being close to her people.

She may be a bit shy at first, but once she feels safe, she blossoms into a sweet, playful, and very affectionate companion who loves both playtime and cozy snuggles.

Aston is looking for a patient, loving home that will give her a little time to settle in and show just how wonderful she truly is.

Once she bonds with you, she will happily become your little shadow and snuggle buddy.

If you’re looking for a sweet, resilient little companion with a heart full of love, Aston might be your perfect match.

If you’re interested in making Aston part of your family, please apply to adopt on our website or reach out to schedule a meet n greet if you are already approved.

Introducing Ricky!

He’s picked his favorite spot near his people and where he can see everything.

Can his next favorite spot be at your house?

Ricky is about 4 years old.

He has to go thru heartworm treatment first, so it will be April or later before he can become part of your family.

Meet Bronx 4 yrs old 22 lbs., stocky, solid Has some skin allergies Pigmentary keratitis (from dry eyes) Ear infection - being treated Not a fan of his paws being examined Thankfully, there's nothing serious wrong, NO HEARTWORMS If you are interested in Bronx, I suggest you stake your claim on him now because I don't think he'll last long.

He would probably do best in a home with older kids or no kids.

It's time to introduce 3 year old foster Marty.

This handsome hunk has been with PugHearts for a few weeks now.

He came to us after being found on the streets limping.

Turns out that limping was due to a broken front left leg (humerus fracture).

We're not sure exactly what happened because he had no other apparent injuries that would point to something specific (i.e.

road rash from being hit by a car, bruising from something wrapped around the leg, or wounds from a dogfight).

Regardless of the reason, he is now safe with us and has already started to heal.

His leg was repaired at Sugar Land Per Hospital almost 2 weeks ago, and he's doing great with crate rest.

He spends 99% of his day in the crate while his leg heals, and he's such a calm, well behaved boy about it!

We even had 20 ppl over on Saturday night and he just chilled in the living room crate and enjoyed the laughter.

As you can see, he loves it when he is allowed out of the crate; soaks in the sunshine, snuggles with his foster bros, or adorably asks me for more attention.

Unfortunately he is heartworm positive, so it will be a few months before he is medically cleared for adoption.

Stay tuned for this boy's progress, so far he appears to be a really chill, well adjusted dog that just wants love!

Welcome to Gladys I picked Gladys up from a local shelter as a found pug.

She immediately showed how sweet she is and pretty much stole my heart.

Gladys is 7 years old and weighs 12 pounds.

She is quite alert and nothing slips by her scrutiny.

I just love having a foster like her.

She is so much fun to just sit and watch.

This picture is how she was just sitting there looking at me.

Gladys gets along with all the other fosters but seems to be more of a loner so far.

She is very well behaved in the crate without a peep out of her.

And drum roll.... so far she appears to be house trained.

It is so great to get one that is well behaved.

Gladys is a sweetheart and will be a wonderful addition to a home.

I have no doubt that she has been a pug who lived in a home and has settled in here like she's been here forever.

Sadly, she is heartworm positive, so she will not be available for adoption until late June or early July.

You definitely need to keep this little treasure in mind if you want to adopt this summer.

Introducing Penelope, a 4 year old , petite Pug.

Dainty and sweet, quiet and well-behaved, she is a wonderful foster girl.

Weighing in at 11 pounds, she is easy to carry and difficult to resist.

Penelope is house trained, crate trained and good around other dogs.

Unfortunately she is heartworm positive and on a medical hold.

Stay tuned for updates on this little beauty.

Welcome Miss Maya!

Maya was found wandering all alone.

She would routinely visit a taco truck at night, but one day she appeared and almost got ran over.

A good Samaritan picked her up and called PugHearts.

This baby girl is 5 years old and her body needs some TLC due to living on the streets and overbreeding.

She is learning how to live in a loving home and will need to start heartworm treatment, BUT she is worth keeping your eyes on.

I can't wait to see what her personality will bring!

Foster Holly's personality is revealing itself a little more.

Turns out she likes toys.

Holly is 3 years old, on the calmer side so far (we're still getting to know her), gets along with other dogs and cats, and sleeps well in the crate (although she's a little bit of an early bird).

Holly is heartworm positive and will have to complete treatment before being adopted.

Holly was a breeder pug, and her body tells a story.

A story of being used.

Apply now to give Holly the 2nd chance she needs to be part of a family and put her difficult days behind her.

Please Welcome Gary!

This handsome guy is 3 yrs old and heartworm negative!

Gary was surrendered due to changes in the home.

He is a little shy and getting to know his surroundings.

He is very affectionate and starting to open up.

Gary will need a Neuter in a month and he will be ready to adopt!

Get those Apps in cause he is a Total Love Bug

She is all joy and happiness.

This precious 2 yr old female was found in the middle of the road trying to dodge large dump trucks.

Luckily, she was seen by a PugHearts member and jumped right in the car and to safety.

Sadly, Sheila is heartworm positive and will need to complete treatment prior to adoption.

As stunning and happy as this girl is, don't wait!

Breaking news: after a long month-long stay at the “clinic resort,” Angelo has officially entered his chaotic happy boy era Night one report: ~Slept quietly in his crate like an absolute angel ~Woke up and immediately chose violence (aka zoomies at full speed like he just drank 3 Red Bulls) ~Made it very clear that humans = BEST THING EVER ~Other dogs?

Also best thing ever ~Chew bones and toys?

Obsessed.

Angelo is basically a short, wiggly tornado of joy with a side of “I’m still figuring out where the bathroom is, okay?” He’s learning the potty rules… emphasis on learning.

Honestly, he’s just so happy to finally be out of the clinic and in a home, and it shows in every zoomie lap around the house.

If you’ve ever wondered what pure happiness looks like - it’s Angelo sprinting across your living room like he just remembered he has legs.

Meet Randy This handsome guy just joined my home today!

He was found as a stray wandering the streets of the RGV.

We’re still getting to know each other, but one thing is already clear—he’s full of life!

Randy is estimated to be around 5 years old, though he seems younger with how playful and curious he is.

I never let my fosters outside alone because we have a pool, but I’ll have to be extra careful with him - the first thing he did was jump in.

I dove in after him shoes and all.

I think he learned his lesson though because he hasn’t tried it again.

Randy will be ready for adoption after a 2 weeks

At just 12 weeks old, Pippa is already full of personality!

This little girl has a spicy, sassy spark that makes her so fun to be around.

She loves to play with toys, show off her puppy zoomies, and keep everyone entertained.

But don’t let the sass fool you — when playtime is over, Pippa is also a champion cuddler who loves to snuggle up close.

She’s the perfect mix of playful mischief and sweet affection.

Pippa is ready to find a forever family who will love her big personality and give her all the toys, cuddles, and adventures a puppy deserves.

Pippa will be ready to adopt after her spay sometime around mid-May.

Who’s ready to add this tiny firecracker to their family?

Foster Chloe is a recent addition to PugHearts, arriving due to family circumstances from the same owner for the past 10 years.

She’s a young-acting lady with house manners who gets along well with my pack.

Chloe is a professional snoozer who will follow you everywhere when she’s not napping.

Deserving of a second act, Chloe is the perfect low-key companion.

Please welcome Millie I made a trip to Victoria last week to pick up Millie.

Can you even believe how gorgeous she is.

Millie is thought to be between 6 & 8 months and weighs around 7 pounds.

She was an OS surrendered because of health issues.

It was very obvious that she had a UTI because she was peeing blood.

She is now on antibiotics and CD food and this issue should be cleared up in no time.

She also has other issues that we have to investigate.

It is thought that she was kicked in the head and she's having trouble with what could be focal seizures.

However, there are a vast amount of things that it could be and we are just investigating everything possible at this time.

Sadly, she is on medical hold and will not be available for adoption until we know what is wrong with her.

Keep her in your thoughts and prayers.

She sure is a sweet little girl.

Conrad is a fantastic 8 year old guy.

Conrad comes to PugHearts from a local shelter.

Meet Ria!

Ria is an 18-month-old pug who is just beginning to show her fun and playful personality.

She has been with her foster family for about a week, and each day she grows more confident and lets a little more of her sweet spirit shine through.

Ria is crate trained and doing great with her potty training.

She is also heartworm negative and will be ready for her forever home once she has recovered from her upcoming spay.

As a young pug, Ria is active, curious, and full of life.

She’s still settling in, but it’s clear she has a bright personality and lots of love to give.

She will make a wonderful companion for a lucky family.

If you’re looking for a young pug to grow with and love, Ria may be the perfect match.

Do not wait!

Meet Daffodil Daffodil is a tiny 2-year-old pug, weighing just 13 pounds, and she is ready for a second chance at life.

She is an owner surrender from Laredo.

After being boarded at the clinic for two weeks, this little girl is beyond excited to finally be free—and now she needs her very own home.

Daffodil is underweight and in need of good nutrition to help fill out her skinny little body.

With proper care, groceries, and love, she is going to absolutely blossom.

She has a unique little face that makes her even more special—her tongue hangs out and her mouth is slightly wonky due to an old, untreated broken jaw.

It has healed as-is and cannot be repaired, but it does NOT affect her quality of life.

She eats, functions, and enjoys life just fine!

Medical Status: • Spayed • Heartworm negative • Ready for placement after a 2-week decompression period Right now, Daffodil is still decompressing and adjusting after everything she’s been through, so we are still learning her personality.

What we do know is that she is happy, resilient, and so deserving of a loving home.

Stay tuned for updates as she settles in her foster home.

She has already been through so much—let’s not let her wait any longer for the life she deserves.

Macy is the sweetest 8 year old.

and loves to smile.

Macy is incredibly friendly and wants to meet every human that crosses her path.

Macy never barks, loves car rides and behaves like the princess she is.

She likes to be carried, hugged and to sleep with her hooman.

Macy is beautiful, fun and chill so apply early for her!

Meet Walter — the most perfect little nugget you’ll ever lay eyes on.

This 14-pound pocket pug somehow found himself roaming the streets, but those days are officially behind him.

Walter is around 4 years old and, despite being heartworm positive, his spirit couldn’t be brighter.

He’s got personality for days and brings so much joy everywhere he goes.

Walter is the definition of fun — he loves the water, is always ready to play with his toys, and has been getting along beautifully with everyone in the house (both people and dogs!).

He’s the kind of dog that just fits right in and makes himself at home in the best way.

Now all Walter needs is a forever family to call his own — especially as he gets ready to go through heartworm treatment.

Let’s not make this sweet boy go through it without a loving home waiting on the other side.

If you’ve been looking for a little companion with a big heart (and an even bigger personality), Walter might just be your guy.

I’m the perfect couch companion and have a love for short strolls (I might be a little slow, but I make up for it with lots of love and snuggles).

Foster Shea Update It’s hard to believe that this tiny, 12-month-old girl—just 10 pounds has already overcome more than most dogs ever should.

After being dragged by a car and suffering degloving injuries to both of her back paws, Shea’s story could have ended very differently.

She had an owner who failed her… but thankfully, she also has a whole team now who refuses to.

And last night?

Last night felt like a turning point.

Shea slept soundly in her little pen, peaceful and content, as if she finally knows she’s safe.

No fear, no restlessness just rest.

The kind her body has been needing for so long.

Even more incredible, she is walking so well.

Watching her take those steps after everything she’s been through feels nothing short of miraculous.

Her wounds are healing beautifully, and honestly… in just a couple more weeks, you won’t even be able to tell what she endured.

But the best part?

Her spirit.

She absolutely adores the other dogs and lights up around them.

There’s a sweetness and resilience in her that you can’t teach it’s just who she is.

Shea still has a journey ahead, especially with her heartworm treatment, so she won’t be ready for a couple of months.

But we know her perfect forever family is out there… and she’s already accepting applications Because a dog this special?

She deserves a home that will love her the way she should have been loved all along.

Shea is proof that even the most broken beginnings can turn into something beautiful.

Margie is playful, fun-loving, and has a special love for water.

Got a pool?

You might just have her dream home!

Meet Matilda Just one week ago, this beautiful senior pug came into PugHearts unable to walk and unable to urinate on her own.

It was heartbreaking to see how much she had been through—but also impossible to miss the spark still in her.

After her intake and spay surgery, Matilda has been recovering beautifully.

With multiple hydrotherapy sessions and red laser treatments on her back and legs, she’s making incredible progress every single day.

And the best news… Matilda is now able to potty on her own and is starting to regain her mobility!

Watching her explore the yard, take in the sunshine, and enjoy her little adventures has been nothing short of amazing.

I am so proud of this sweet girl and everything she’s overcome in such a short time.

Her resilience is inspiring, and her future is looking brighter every day.

We can’t wait to see her continue to thrive—and hopefully soon, find the loving forever family she so deeply deserves!

Please welcome Dee to PugHearts!

Dee found her way to PugHearts about a week ago after being rescued by a kind-hearted Good Samaritan, and we are so grateful she’s now safe with us.

This beautiful little girl is 4 years old and weighs 13 pounds.

Like many of our newcomers, she will need the full round of care—spay, dental, and unfortunately, heartworm treatment—so she’ll be with us for a while as she heals and gets the fresh start she deserves.

Dee just arrived at the house and is quite the busy little thing right now—understandably so after spending a week in a crate.

She’s taking everything in, exploring, and keeping a close eye on her person at all times.

I’m hopeful she’ll settle in soon… at least I’m crossing my fingers she does.

So far, she seems to be doing well with the other dogs, and I’m excited to learn more about her personality as she decompresses.

Stay tuned for more updates on sweet Dee as I get to know this beautiful girl better.

Donnie is new to Pug Hearts, but he’s no stranger to being loved.

He spent many, many years in a home before finding himself here due to circumstances beyond his control.

At 10 years old, it’s understandable that this transition has been a bit overwhelming.

He’s doing well, but you can see he’s still trying to make sense of it all.

Donnie is healthy overall, though he could stand to lose a little weight, and he’s hoping to find a family who will help him on that journey—giving him the care, stability, and love he deserves in this next chapter of his life.

He may be a little confused right now, but underneath it all is a loyal companion just waiting to feel at home again.

Once upon a time, there was a sweet little pug named Cinderella, whose life began in the shadows of neglect.

She knew heartache and hardship, but as with every great fairy tale, her story is destined for a happy ending.

At just one year old, Cinderella has endured more than her fair share of trials, but now, with the love and care of her foster family, she’s on the path to healing, joy, and a future full of hope.

Cinderella may have started her journey in a dark and lonely place, but like any true heroine, she has a heart full of magic.

With patience and kindness, she’s beginning to discover the wonders of a gentle touch, the warmth of a soft bed, and the beauty of a world where love is unconditional.

Though she’s still learning to trust, her heart is open, and every day she grows a little braver, a little more confident.

This sweet girl is seeking a family who can be her fairy godparents—guiding her with love, compassion, and the patience she needs to bloom into the loving companion she was always meant to be.

With a calm and understanding home, Cinderella will flourish, turning into the loyal, joyful pup you’ve always dreamed of.
