Izzy is a sweet fawn female.

She is 2 years old.

She comes to us as an owner surrender due to her medical condition.

Izzy has been seen by a neurologist who has determined that she is suffering from hydrocephalus (water on the brain.)

This means that she has a build-up of cerebrospinal fluid around her brain.

This is usually only seen in puppies but Izzy developed this within the last year.

It has affected her walking but she still gets around well.

As her symptoms have not progressed and her condition has stabilized, no further treatment is necessary.

She will need to be monitored for changes and if any occur she should be seen by the neurologist.

Izzy is a very sweet girl.

She comes to you for affection; she puts her nose on you to let you know she wants attention.

She navigates around her foster house and yard well but does not do too well with steps.

She sleeps up on the human bed but needs to be put up and down.

She still has some tics - expecially when eating, and takes time to process things.

She comes when called but just takes a little longer.

She does not tolerate loud noises well.

She seems to enjoy being around other dogs and sleeps with them.

Jason is a handsome black male with light brown eyes.

He is 1 1/2 years old.

He was an owner surrender to a local animal control through no fault of his own.

He has been brought up to date on his vaccinations, microchipped and neutered.

He is heartworm negative and is in excellent health.

Jason is a seet little guy who is a bit confused about his recent turn of events.

However, he is well behaved and amiable.

He's a little cutie who is very sweet and cuddly.

He gets along beautifully with other dogs and would do well in a multi-dog household or as an only dog.

The most important thing to Jason is to have a human that wants to cuddle and snuggle with him, as he loves being held.

Jennifer is a 5 month old fawn Pug/Dachshund mix puppy.

Though she is not all Pug, she does have the characteristic black mask markings.

Many of you will remember her from her fight with distemper along with her brother Joey and mommy Jewel.

We are pleased to report that she has made a full recovery.

She is in excellent health and does not have any lingering effects from her previous health battles.

She is current on all vaccinations and will be spayed prior to placement.

Jennifer is a sweet, playful girl who is your typical puppy.

As she is so young she will need training (as all pups do) but she seems to respond well to people and should not have any difficulty transitioning to living in a family home.

_____________________________________________________ Jennifer's age:14 yr old Dr. Bailey with Sugar Land Pet Hospital, had to put Jen-Jen to sleep on Monday 8/1/2022.

She is now at peace.

She started having seizures and went into heart failure over that weekend.

She was surrounded by many of the vet staff.

Who gave her a lot of hugs and kisses as Jen-Jen passed away feeling loved.

According to the attending Vet-Dr. Bailey.

We will truly miss our baby girl.

Take Care-PT

Joey is a 5 month old fawn Pug/Dachshund mix puppy.

Though he is not all Pug, he does have the characteristic black mask markings.

Many of you will remember him from his fight with distemper along with his sister Jennifer and mommy Jewel.

We are pleased to report that he has made a full recovery and is just like any other 5 month old puppy.

He is current on all of his vaccinations and is in excellent health.

He will be neutered prior to placement.

He is extremely playful and curious.

This little guy is just like the Energizer Bunny.

We don't know where it comes from but he has boundless energy.

He is very lively and curious.

Obviously since he is still a pup he needs training but he is a fast learner.

I have some unfortunate news.

Dr. Bailey with Sugar Land Pet Hospital, had to put Joey to sleep on 08/18/2022 at the age of 14 yrs old.

He is now at peace with his sister Jen-jen.

We discovered he had terminal cancer causing him great pain and suffering.

He was surrounded by his pet mom and vet staff.

Who gave him a lot of hugs and kisses as Joey passed away feeling loved.

We will truly miss Joey and Jen-jen.

This is Mr Jones, a.k.a.

JoJo .

He is a true gentleman puggie!

He is an approximately 4 year old handsome fawn who weighs approximately 15 lbs.

He has been neutered and is up to date on all his shots.

Unfortunately he is heartworm positive, but he is currently being treated for this and it has not slowed him down one bit!

He has no other health issues.

JoJo is very friendly and sweet.

He will sit quietly in your lap or lay next to you on the floor, but also loves to run and play with other dogs.

His foster described him as 'so well mannered' and 'cordial' with other dogs.

Poor JoJo has not had much stability in his life.

His last owner couldn't keep him any longer and handed him over to a shelter after only 6 months.

We don't know how many times he has had to move prior to that.

This is very surprising given his impeccable manners and sweet disposition.

This gentleman caller needs a home where his social graces will be appreciated and he will be the cherished pet he deserves to be.

Jay Z passed on the 11th December 2012.

This sweet boy was adored by his forever family and they are heartbroken at his loss.

Jay Z is a 4 year old fawn male.

He comes to us from a local shelter.

Due to living on the streets, he has a bad case of intestinal parasites right now.

He is undergoing treatment and they should clear shortly.

He has been neutered and microchipped and has been brought current on his vaccinations.

Josie is a 6 year old fawn female.

She comes to us from a local animal shelter and it is believed that this poor little girl was a puppy mill survivor.

She how now been spayed, microchipped and brought up to date on her vaccinations.

Thankfully she is heartworm negative.

She does have degenerative hip disease, which means her hips are weak.

She would be ideally suited to a home with no stairs or with a family that doesn't mind carrying her up and down.

She's a sweet girl who is learning to love attention and deserves to find out what it's like to be somebody's cherished pet.

Sadly, Josie went to Rainbow Bridge on 7-22-13.

She was surrounded by those that loved her.

She was ready and wagged her tail for us as she left.

we are sad to see her leave us, but know she is no longer in pain.

Jasmine was a pug mix surrendered to Angleton AC.

She was having what looked like seizures.

They called us.

Our vet looked at her and determined that she was suffering from (most likely) distemper tics.

The movements were significant, involved her entire body and they never stopped.

Jasmine was unable to control her bodily functions including sleep.

We do not believe she slept at all in the 4 days we had her.

We tried medications to control the movements, but the meds made no difference.

She was released from her misery to rest quietly.

She was a real cutie.

Jane is a wonderful fawn female.

She is about 12 years old.

She comes to us from a local shelter where her owner surrendered her due to her age.

We think there's nothing wrong with an "experienced" pug, so we snapped her up and promised her a new (better) home.

She is heartworm negative and is current on her vaccinations.

She hears and sees just fine, is housebroken and uses the doggie door to go outside by herself.

She does have a weak back end so she may stumble if you set her down too fast, but she it does not stop her from walking anywhere she wants to go!

From Jane's foster: Jane is one of the most beautiful senior girls I know.

I call her Mama Bug, because she likes to keep the young ones in line.

She will run after them barking if she thinks they are being too noisy or playing too rough.

I love her.

I have many fosters that come through my home, but Jane holds a special place in my heart.

She is such a darling, squishy girl and she needs a great family that will spoil her rotten for the remainder of her life.

Jane left us on 5-31-14.

Her poor body was failing while her mind was as sharp as always.

She was loved beyond words and will be missed terribly.

Sleep well sweet Jane.

Ivy is a fawn female that comes to us from a local animal control facility.

She is severe heartworm positive and has a rectal prolapse.

She has a severely enlarged heart and is having difficulty breathing.

We believe she is about 5 years old.

She is currently being treated at our Veterinary clinic though her prognosis is not good.

Ivy crossed over the Bridge on Tuesday, February 23rd 2010 with Cindy at her side.

Julia.

We, sadly, got her too late.

She was in total renal failure.

Our pretty woman.

Jojo is a fawn male who came to us in November of 2010 from an abusive backyard breeder.

Apparently he was starved, kicked, and left outside in the elements for all of his 7 years.

His physical issues included malnutrition, heartworms, broken teeth, and a bad back with fused vertebrae.

All his physical issues have been addressed: he was neutered, had a dental, and put on 7 lbs.

His heartworms have been treated, and he has tested heartworm negative for more than a year now.

His emotional scars have taken longer to heal.

When we first got him, he was a resource guarder.

Food, chewies, space on the couch, and his people were all worthy of protection by a snap or a bite.

With patience, training, and lots of positive reinforcement he no longer exhibits any of these behaviors.

He even seeks out attention and petting from strangers!

Jojo is a sensitive soul.

He is easily stressed: thunderstorms terrify him (a thundershirt helps), and too much activity and noise (such as at adoption events) also make him feel insecure.

He is the first one to sense when one of his foster brothers or sisters doesn’t feel well, and will cuddle them or share his bed.

He also takes on the role of caretaker when we have a special needs dog in our home.

Jojo will be on daily medicine for his back pain and to calm him for the rest of his life.

A back massage is a high point of his day.

He needs his special person and structure to feel safe, otherwise he tends to chew on himself, and will make his flanks bleed.

His perfect forever home would be an experienced dog owner who is retired or works from home, and rarely has children about.

He has so much love to give: his coat is very soft and slightly curly, and he is a wonderful dog to share your pillow with at night, or to keep you company while you work at home.

Jojo is nearing 10 years old now, and deserves a home of his own.

Julie was one of Jewel's puppies.

The litter all contracted distemper.

Julie's symptoms progressed to severe neurological and we released her from her misery.

Jayden is a young fawn male we received from another breed-specific rescue group who found him as a stray.

We will know more about him once he has been examined by our vet.

He is an active, happy boy who needs to be neutered, and is a couple pounds underweight.

We lost Jayden to Heartworm treatment on the morning of November 16th 2011.

Yet another of our furry friends heading to the Rainbow Bridge way too early.

Run free little man.

Jasmine (or Jazzy) was not in the best of shape when she arrived.

Her skin was so infected and angry that we haven’t been able to spay her yet.

But now that she’s on medicine to eliminate the itching she seems to be happy as a lark.

She’s about 7 and is a little girl.

What hair she has is shinny so in a month or so she won’t be recognizable as the same shaggy little girl.

She has white hair mixed in with her black, the cutest part of this is that her tail has white hair on the curl so it looks like she’s a punk rocker and has bleached the top of her tail.

She isn’t a lap dog, but she has to be close to me.

If she’s not on the couch next to me, she’s on the back of the couch behind my head.

She is very calm and laid back with just the right amount of playfulness to make her fun.

Once her skin is clear she will be spayed and ready for her new forever home.

She is a very good little companion and seems to be well behaved in the house (I’ve only had her a week so I’m still learning about her).

Sometimes she looks at me with sadness in her eyes and I know that her life hasn’t been all soft pillows and treats.

Jazzy really needs someone to love her and teach her what being a pug is all about, I think she will be a very fast learner.

Jackson crossed the Rainbow Bridge to find health and comfort again.

He was in the living arms of his foster parents.

Jackson was a very special guy that never got a real chance to thrive.

We are honored to have known and loved him.

Jackson was a beautiful black male.

He was about 4 years old.

He came to us from a shelter.

He suffered an injury to his spine which left him with bowel and bladder incontinence.

He was a sweet boy who was very playful.

Ian was an 8 month old puppy who came to us with Darcy after his owner tragically committed suicide.

He was so happy to get out of a crate amidst that sadness of the surviving family, he ran laps around our big yard, wrestled with Darcy, and jumped on any available lap to give kisses.

He was starved for snuggling and human companionship, and was so happy to be held, he just melted.

Sadly, less than 48 hours after his rescue, little Ian succumbed to Parvo, only hours after first displaying symptoms.

Poor little guy, at least he had a taste of love during his last two days.

He already had an adoption application pending, so he had a wonderful future in store for him.

Although we had him for so short a time, he will be missed.

Jack is a 9 year old black male.

He is heartworm negative and already neutered.

He is microchipped and current on his vaccinations.

From Jack's foster: This sweet 9 year old boy has been in my home over a week now.

Each day his personality emerges.

He is healthy, no dry eye, no worms, no skin issues.

He does seem to move slowly when first getting up.

He is just the right amount of playfulness and calmness.

He loves his crate and has claimed both of mine in the house.

He uses one for naps and one for nighttime sleeping.

He is not food aggressive and eats very slowly.

He was an owner surrender through no fault that I can find of his own.

I have fallen in love with this very gentle pug.

He does not do well with children and he will react to frightening situations (biting, aggression).

He tolerates my other pugs in the house but does not play or cuddle with them.

He will play with toys and humans though and he loves long walks.

He is a Velcro dog like most pugs are.

He is completely housetrained and I have had not one accident in the house.

He walks up to the door and looks over his shoulder at me as to say “What are you waiting for, open the door please”.

He has a problems with some shoes too.

He attacked my visiting sister’s shoes, running along side her biting and barking at her shoes.

Then that night he curled up and fell asleep along side my sister (I don’t think she had her shoes on).

Jack is a beautiful, calm dog that will add peace, joy and love to your home.

Please consider this sweet baby.

7-22-14: Jack left this world loved and wanted.

May he find the peace at the Rainbow Bridge that we were unable to provide him here.

Ida Mae is a senior lady with a chronic cough.

She is happy and fairly active.

Ida is heartworm negative and requires eye drops for her dry eye.

Ida is a talker and loves to tell you all about her thoughts and ideas.

Come meet this sassy senior.

Ida Mae crossed the Rainbow Bridge today, October 28, 2014.

Her collapsing trachea was creating too much work to breath and she left us to be well again.

She will be missed.

She was an angel with us for too short a time.

Jax is a 10 yr old male.

He was surrendered to us after another dog attacked him.

He is recovering well and will be looking for his new home soon.

From Jax's foster: Jax is a 10 year old, beautiful fawn male that came to us as an owner surrender.

He is HW negative and very obese.

He also has bladder stones but cannot have surgery until he loses some weight.

He is on a diet needless to say.

He will require special food.

Update 8-2-15: Here is Jax story.

He came into our rescue in December, an owner surrender.

He spent New Years Eve in ICU at the vet after an attack from another dog.

He was battered, bruised and broken.

He was severely obese and had bladder stones.

He came into our home January 7, 2015.

He was so scared and broken and I fell in love.

Jax loved his crate.

It was his safe place.

And our special time was each morning after breakfast I would hold him in my arms until he fell back to sleep.

He smiled then.

I let him have free reign of the house and yard, no restrictions.

It helped him heal a little.

He went on the green bean diet and started losing weight.

The wounds on his head and body healed.

Little did we realize something neurological was happening.

He went to his first event in March (the rained out event).

He was such a trooper.

On April 19th Jax went to live with Cindy.

He fell in love with James.

I was spared witnessing his neurological decline.

Cindy and James were not.

I got the call yesterday that it was time.

I held him in my arms again today but he was not smiling.

He was so beautiful and now he is at peace.

Jax Not Enough Time Loved So Much

JD is a senior gentleman looking for a place to call him own.

From JD's foster: JD is a handsome senior boy at 10 years old.

He is completely housebroken and healthy, other than some typical older gentleman kind of issues (aka a little stiff in the bones, and a little dry eye :).

He lives with other dogs and cats peacefully, and really just would like a good soft place to snuggle with his human!

This sweet little boy will steal your heart!

Will you be his forever home?

Jeb is a senior boy that comes to PugHearts from a local shelter.

He is dealing with some neglect and age has not been kind to him.

He is currently at the vet to be evaluated, treated and readied to go into a foster home to learn what spoiling and comfort feel like.

From Jeb's foster: If Jeb would write a personal ad, it would go like this...

Looking for an adorable elderly gent?

I am Jeb, an 11 year old black pug who loves to cuddle, is great with other dogs and kids, and is very well mannered.

My happiest moment is laying next to you and enjoying your company.

I don't pee or poop in your house either.

Since I do have some sight issues (i have some vision - I have to have eye drops), my current people pick me up and take me out.

As soon as I am out, I take care of business fast and am ready to go back in.

If I need to go out in the meantime, I will bark to let you know that I need to go.

I am kind of "fluffy" right now - I love to eat and it shows so I am working on losing some "fluff".

I am not food aggressive and eat right along all my other 4 legged people.

My back legs are a little wonky when I walk but when I lose some "fluff" it should help that.

So you are wondering how I am without you?

I snooze away until you come back.

I have free roam so I am a trust worthy kinda guy.

Some say "what a good boy" - nah, I am a great boy!

Isabelle is an older lady that comes to PugHearts from a local shelter.

She is dealing with some back, hip and rear leg issues.

She is being seen at the vet and we will update soon.

Isabelle came to PugHearts with multiple major medical issues, most importantly...severe spinal trauma that had not been addressed early on.

We chose to allow her to cross the Rainbow Bridge in the arms of her transporter.

Pam was taken in by Isabelle and fell in love with her completely.

Run free Isabelle and know that you are loved and belong ot the PugHearts family forever.

Julie is a sweet senior lady.

She loves food, being held and her awesome purple bed!

Julie is blind, deaf and heart worm positive.

But she makes up for her physical limitations with love and strength of spirit.

If you kiss her head, you will get many kisses in return.

She is trusting and loving and a perfectly imperfect dog.

Julie is a hospice foster.

Whatever she experienced in life before PugHearts, she is now loved and wanted and part of a family.

Julie crossed the Rainbow Bridge in the loving arms of her family on 4/30/2018.

Isabella is one of PugHearts special needs pugs & needs a very special Adopter that understands and can commit to her special needs.

She is 9 years old, has a spine injury that left her with an awkward walk, doesn’t allow her to use stairs or jump up/down furniture.

She also has fecal incontinence and requires assistance going potty.

Despite all life challenges she has encountered, Isabella is also the most loving girl around, always super happy & just loves being around her people.

Isabella is on several medicines to help her quality of life & continues to live life to the fullest.

Jessie is a sweet, spunky girl who was found as a stray in the Rio Grand Valley.

She loves to cuddle people and gets along well with the other dogs, although she makes sure they know a toy or treat is hers if anyone gets too close.

Her favorite way to spend the day is sleeping spread out on the big dog bed and snoring away!

She is about 8 years old and heartworm negative.

She has some spondylosis which makes her back legs stiff when she first gets up and moving, but she is surprisingly speedy once she gets going so don't let the funny gait fool you!

She is fully house trained and crates happily.

#PHHospice

Joni comes to PugHearts after her family tragically died in a car accident.

Joni had a rough start when she first came in.

She was scared and hid under the bathroom counter for a while before we could coax her out.

She has made great progress with us and is now a velcro dog and wants to be near her humans at all times.

She follows us everywhere and loves to snuggle.

She still has some anxiety and gets nervous when strangers come in.

Joni does not like being crated and lets you know about it vocally.

She is mostly potty-trained and is making improvements daily.

Joni came in with worms, an ear infection, and bad skin due to flea allergies.

We have treated for all of that, and she is doing much better.

She is also a bit under-weight, but we are working on that as well.

Her spay is set for early September, and then she will be ready for her new home.

Joni is about 6 years old.

She gets along well with other dogs.

She loves to walk around in the yard.

She enjoys a good treat.

Joni is looking for a calm home with lots of love where she can feel safe and secure.

Are you her special someone?

Please welcome Jazzie to PugHearts!

Jazzie comes to us as an owner surrender by her owner of 11 years due to not being able to give little Jazzie the attention she needs.

Jazzie is 11 years old and is the sweetest little thing.

She moves around like a youngster but does have some vision issues due to dry eye.

Because of this, Jazzie will be on daily drops for life.

Jazzie has a history of bladder stones, which requires a special diet to eliminate the crystals.

She is a little nervous of the new surroundings, but she has used the stairs to get on the bed, and had no problems cuddling with me last night.

She is the perfect compact pug with an epic nose roll…and guess what?

It’s adopt a senior month!

Who wants to give Jazzie the love and attention that she needs?

HOSPICE

Unfortunately, Jared gained his wings today.

He fought parvo so hard, but his little body wasn’t strong enough.

I’m sorry that those people failed you….

But, we loved you until your last breath.

Run in Paradise, sweet boy.

We will see you again.

So 7/5/2022 Erika got a call about a pug that needed to be picked up from a Rio Grande Valley shelter and taken immediately to the ER vet.

She had no use of her back legs.

Cammi and Lauren happened to be in the area, so they volunteered to go.

Isadora was a 1 yr old female fawn pug.

She gave Cammi sweet kisses all the way to the vets office and demanded her neck be scratched.

After lab work and x-rays it was determined that her spine was severed.

Cammi went back to the vet and held her and got more sweet kisses til Isadora crossed the rainbow bridge.

I want to acknowledge Isadora, as she was loved and she DID matter, however briefly she was in PugHearts care.

RIP sweet little girl.

Meet Juliet 12 yrs old.

She was taken to a shelter to be euthanized, along with 9 other pugs, after their dad passed away.

Juliet has been blind since birth, due to underdeveloped, shrunken eyes.

Juliet is heartworm negative, had an upper respiratory infection, infection in both ears when came into PugHearts and has been treated.

She appears to have limited hearing and has arthritis.

She didn't move around much when got here, but with Rimadyl, Juliet is moving around more, but like most older pugs likes to nap.

In typical pug fashion, she loves her food, eats every bite and licks her bowl clean.

She is a very sweet girl.

Juliet doesn’t mind being picked up and held.

She came to my house with her brother Jerry who is 9, and has already been introduced.

Jerry checks on Juliet from time to time.

They nap together at times.

It was hard to get a photo of this blind,deaf, old gal, but was finally able to catch her smiling.

Juliet is looking for a calm home to spend her retirement years.

I want to introduce our first PugHearts pug of 2024.

I know that some people don’t like to look at or acknowledge these types of posts but they are very important to the memory of a beautiful soul and to remind people that rescue isn’t just about the ones we save.

It’s also about the ones we could not save.

June is a beautiful young female who was obviously bred and her life was cut short by getting ran over on a busy street.

My husband and I picked her up this morning from the side of the road.

I told her that I loved her and I’m sorry that her family had failed her.

But her PugHearts family will love her forever.

She will always be a PugHearts baby and is now and always will be known as June Landers.

Jefferson was one of the beloved Whiskey puppies who came to PugHearts from the Rio Grand Valley at just 4 days old, tragically orphaned after their mother passed away shortly after birth.

Despite being frail and covered in fleas, Jefferson was given warmth and love by the caring team at PugHearts.

Though his time on this earth was short, he will always be remembered for the joy and innocence he brought during his brief stay.

Jefferson passed away on 2/17/24, at only 5 days old

Welcome to Jules!

I just picked her up tonight so I know very little about her.

She is two years old and weighs 20 pounds.

She also is a Frug with the combined energy of a Pug and a Frenchie.

Oh my, I may be too old for this!

But I really like her.

She’s super cute, just look at that face?.

Once she settles down, which I hope is quickly, I’ll post updates.

I believe she’s going to need a very active family.

Mr. Judge the Pug!!

This neutered, 4 year old fits his name to a T. His face looks like he is judging you, but he is a sweetie.

He does like to sit back and, calmly, observe the action swirling about him therefore he is great in a calm OR busy household.

He is doing much better being patient and polite waiting for his bowl at meal time.

He is just getting adjusted to our foster home so I see him being even more chill in the near future.

He loves to cuddle with the other dogs in the house and his two legged people.

He is great on a leash and very good with meeting dogs during his walks.

He is heartworm positive and is awaiting his final treatment, but soon he will be ready to light up his future family’s world.

He is looking for his furever home.

Is it yours??
