A PugHearts Pug is a happy Pug! Can you help one of Our Dogs?
Ana is a sweet little black female - though it's tough to tell with her current skin condition.
She came to us through an animal cruelty case with the SPCA.
She has now been released to us to get her well and find her a new home.
We estimate she is between 3 to 4 years old, though everyone thinks she is a puppy when they first see her.
She is a very petite little girl but she is definitely an adult dog.
She has been brought up to date on her vaccinations and will be spayed prior to placement.
Right now she is suffering from a severe case of demodectic mange.
As many of you will remember, we have seen this before with Dougie and Mandi.
With proper treatment she will turn into a beautiful girl.
Ana is a very friendly, loving little girl.
Even though she's had a very rough time she still is a very happy, playful girl.
We have promised her that we will find her the perfect home to make up for the lack of love & care that she's had.
Someone will be very lucky to call her theirs.
Annie is a sweet fawn female.
She comes to us from a local shelter where she had been picked up from the streets so we don't know her history.
We estimate she is about 8 years old.
She is in good health though she does require drops to one eye for 'dry eye' - her vision is just fine.
She has been spayed, microchipped and brought up to date on her vaccinations.
She also had an umbilical hernia removed but that won't cause any further issues.
Annie is a very calm, serene girl.
She is very friendly and loves to be loved on, but she is not an excitable gal.
She prefers to sit back and relax.
She is housebroken and gets on well with other animals.
If you are looking for a true lap dog/couch potato, Annie might well be your girl!
Who's the Apple of your eye?
This darling boy is sure to be!
Apple is a gorgeous fawn male.
He's a bit of a youngster - just barely 1 year old.
We're not sure what his story is, but he was found wandering alone with no tags or microchip.
When his owners could not be found he was turned over to us to find him a home that wouldn't let him go.
Apparently nobody had been looking after him because he has tested low heartworm positive.
He will begin treatment immediately and should convert to negative within the next couple of months.
He has not been neutered but he will be this week.
He has been brought up to date on his vaccinations and microchipped.
Apple is pretty much what you would expect for a young guy his age.
He still has quite a bit of puppy in him and is very playful.
He's a sweetie who loves attention.
He will probably need to learn some house manners but since he's so young that shouldn't take long.
He seems very eager to please and friendly.
Asia is a sweet fawn female.
She is an owner surrender due to family changes along with her 'sister' Hillary.
She is already spayed and is current on her vaccinations.
She is 6 years old and in good health except for being a bit too 'fluffy.'
She is now on a diet to help her lose some weight before the heat of summer.
Asia is housebroken and is very used to being in a home with a doggie door.
She does great with other dogs as well as kids.
She is a playful, sweet girl who loves to cuddle.
Baby is a 7 year old fawn female.
She is up to date on her vaccinations and is heartworm negative.
She has been microchipped as well.
She will be spayed prior to adoption.
Baby is an owner surrender due to family changes.
She is housebroken and gets on well with other pugs.
In fact, Baby would do best in a home with another dog as she doesn't like to be left alone.
Poor Baby came to us with severely neglected teeth.
She underwent surgery to have some extracted and it was found that she had an infection that had intruded into her jawbone.
She had extensive surgery to remove the infected sections but has recovered completely.
She is in good health.
Do not be fooled by Baby's age - she is no shy, retiring grandma!
This little lady just adores toys and attention!
She's even become quite adept at stealing toys from her younger foster sister.
And she enjoys the occasional tail-chasing too.
But when the time comes, she's quick to jump up on the sofa and cuddle in front of the TV.
She's quite a little lover-girl!
Bailey is a handsome fawn male.
He is 3 years old.
He was adopted from an animal control facility by someone who was then unable to keep him.
He has been microchipped, is up to date on his vaccinations and recently neutered.
He is heartworm negative and on preventative.
Bailey is a very playful boy who would enjoy being around other dogs and children.
He does have an eye condition, keratitis pigmentosa, which means he has chronic dry eyes and some limitations to his vision.
This is a very common condition in pugs due to their protruding eyes.
However, with daily drops he should have improvement.
He is otherwise healthy.
Bailey is a sweetheart of a boy who needs a family who doesn't mind giving him eyedrops twice a day and who is ready to handle this bundle of energy.
Though he likes to be petted, it does not appear that anybody has spent much cuddle-time with Bailey.
So he will also need a family that can teach him how important cuddling is to a pug!
Bandit is an absolutely gorgeous fawn male.
He is 2 years old and comes to us as an owner surrender.
His original owner passed away and he has not found the right home since.
Unfortunately in all the shuffling around, somebody neglected to keep Bandit on his heartworm preventative.
His is now heartworm positive and will be starting treatment immediately.
He is in otherwise good health except for being a bit thin.
He has been brought up on date on his vaccinations and microchipped.
He will be neutered prior to placement.
Bandit is a very sweet, gentle boy who obviously had a loving owner at one time.
He is very well behaved and even knows commands like 'sit!'
But it looks like since he lost his owner people have not been too kind to him.
Bandit is a very timid little guy who needs to be loved and cuddled.
He would not do well in a home with lots of other animals or small children due to the noise and excitement level.
This little guy needs a place to chill out and a safe, loving environment in which we know he will thrive and come out of his shell.
Barnaby is an adorable fawn male.
He comes to us from a local shelter.
We estimate he is about 10 years old.
He has been brought current on his vaccinations, neutered and microchipped.
He also had a teeth cleaning which obviously has not been done in a long time as he needed several teeth pulled due to cavities.
His remaining teeth are in good shape and he shouldn't have any further problems if looked after properly.
He also has the "dry eye" we see so much in pugs that have been outside for a long time.
This means his eyes don't produce enough lubrication and he will need drops daily from here on out.
Update from his foster: Hi, my name is Barnaby and my foster mom says I am the sweetest pug (she’s smart).
I get along well with all kinds of dogs.
I am about 10 years old and well mannered because I don’t jump up on the furniture or pull at my leash on my walks.
However I can get upset if I am left in a crate and I will protest loudly.
I really do better if you use a baby gate and leave me in one of the rooms.
I am a talker, and will greet you when you get home..
I will follow you everywhere all day long and at night I will snuggle up to you in your bed, and I barely snore at all.
I hope I find a home with someone who is at home with me a lot, cause I love to be around my people.
Boudreaux is a gorgeous 2 1/2 year old fawn male.
He has been neutered, microchipped and is current on all of his vaccinations.
He has no health issues.
Boudreaux is an absolute sweetheart.
He is very even-tempered and is a 'shadow' following you from room to room, lying down quietly beside you.
He also enjoys playing with toys.
He gets along very well with other dogs, though he tends to be a bit timid when with a large group.
He is definitely not an Alpha dog.
He gets along well with cats too as well as older children.
He is housebroken and knows how to use a doggie door.
He rides very well in cars and walks well on a lead.
He is learning some basic commands but already comes when called.
Boudreaux is a wonderful dog who will make someone a fantastic companion.
So if you like kisses and having a soft little furball sleep on your pillow at night, Boudreaux might just be the puggie you've been looking for!
Beauregard was rescued from a local shelter, so his history is unknown.
He is estimated to be about 8 years old, which means he has just entered middle age!
He is a beautiful dark fawn pug with a touch of distinguished grey around his face.
Beauregard has recently been neutered and had several teeth pulled.
He is in excellent health.
He is current on all vaccinations and has been microchipped.
He is a sweet, gentle soul who loves to be cuddled.
He still has a bit of playfulness in him and gets along well with other dogs.
If you're looking for a calm, serene companion then Beau is for you.
It does not appear that Beau has been the pampered indoor pet he should have been, and therefore he has needed some housetraining.
However, he does respond well to commands and seems eager to please.
Please consider a mature pug like Beau - there is no more rewarding or fulfilling feeling than knowing you have given an older pug a new lease on life.
Bella is a sweet black female who was found on the streets by a good samaritan who called us to come rescue her.
She is estimated to be between 3 to 4 years old.
As she was a stray, we do not know her history.
She is a sweet, timid soul who has lost her faith in humans.
She has been brought up to date on her vaccinations and has been microchipped and spayed.
For those of you who have been following Bella's story, you will notice the huge difference in her appearance in these updated photos.
Poor Bella was suffering from a severe skin condition when she came to us.
She has now finished her treatments and as you can tell she is now the beautiful puggy we alway knew she would be!
Bella is a cuddly sweetheart who needs someone who will shower her with affection and love her for the beautiful pug she is inside and (now) outside.
Bella is a beautiful fawn female.
She is 3 1/2 years old and in excellent health.
She has been spayed, microchipped and is current on all of her vaccinations.
Bella is an owner surrender.
Her family travels quite a bit and liked to take her on trips with them, but Bella does not do very well on car trips.
She has a bit of a nervous tummy and had problems every time she went on trips.
So, her owners thought Bella would be better off with someone who was a 'homebody' like her.
She's a very sweet girl who is housebroken and gets along very well with other dogs.
But she just wants to hang out at home.
So now we need to find her that new home and that new owner that wants to be a 'homebody' with her.
Belle is an 8 year old fawn female.
She is 8 years old.
She is an owner surrender due to family changes.
She has been spayed, microchipped and is current on vaccinations.
She is heartworm negative.
She is in very good shape but does suffer from 'dry eye' that is so common in pugs and therefore needs daily drops to her eyes.
She does have vision loss due to this condition.
Belle is a sweet girl that is used to living with children.
She also gets on very well with other dogs.
From Belle's foster: Belle has finally got to the point that she fully trust us.
We believe that she had a hard time with all the changes in her life, she really did not feel comfortable about pushing the envelope.
Now, she is in charge of our house and dictates policy around here.
She went to the vet last Saturday and she is in good health and she is current with all her shots and treatments.
We have let her gain a few pounds, so we are in the process of cutting back on her two meals and treats.
She weights 25 pounds and the vet wants her back around 20 pounds.
She is not happy about the reduction in her treats after her comes in from using the bathroom.
Betty is a fawn female.
She was found wandering the streets by a Good Samaritan who took her in but could not keep her.
We believe she is about 6 years old.
She is a bit overweight and needs a diet.
She has been brought up to date on her vaccinations, microchipped and is spayed.
Betty is a very sweet laid back girl.
She loves a good back rub.
She is good with kids and gives lots of kisses.
You never have to guess where Betty is because she stays right at your feet.
It only takes a small glance in her direction and her entire body is wagging with her little tail.
Betty is a very sweet natured dog.
She is great about letting you know when she needs to use the bathroom, she will go to the closest door and stand.
If that doesn't work she will scratch on the door.
Betty would be completely happy being an only dog but would also do great with another dog as long as she can be alpha.
Beverly is a sweet fawn female.
We estimate she is about 5 years old.
She was found abandoned in a parking lot without any tags or microchip.
She has been spayed, microchipped and is now current on her vaccinations.
Unfortunately Miss Beverly also was suffering from a massive, painful bladder stone.
She has had surgery to remove the stone and is in recovery.
Right now she has issues with bladder control, but that is to be expected and she should regain control now that her bladder is free of stones.
She will need a follow-up appointment for a teeth cleaning but otherwise will not need any further medical care except routine visits.
Beverly is a bit of a couch potato.
She is very friendly and loving - definitely not an Alpha dog.
She is getting used to being in a house and is learning about housetraining rules.
This little girl is ready to find her new family who will keep her healthy and safe.
Say hello to Blu.
He is an 8 year old fawn male.
This cutie came to us from a local shelter, so we do not know his history.
However, we do know that nobody has been looking after him.
He has bad hips and degenerative discs in his spine, though that does not slow him down.
He has poor vision and a severe entropion eyelid (which can be corrected with surgery.)
He has been neutered, microchipped and brought up to date on his vaccinations as well as having some dental work.
UPDATE from Blu's foster Mom: Blu- A charmer, a jazz singer and a poet - what more can you ask for in a senior pug man ?
He enjoys outdoors for very short periods and spends most of his time dreaming about .... what do pugs dream about?
A chunk a pug ( ok he eats anything that looks edible) - he is currently watching exercise cable TV hoping that he gets in shape by osmosis.
IF it works we will let you know................
Bonnie is a 6 year old fawn female.
She has been spayed, microchipped and is current on all of her vaccinations.
She is an owner surrender due to family changes.
Bonnie has lost all sight in her left eye due to an injury some years ago.
She also has an ulceration to her right eye and has suffered some vision loss in that eye.
She still has some vision and is able to get around very well.
At first glance she looks as though she would be a couch potato - but don't believe it!
She thoroughly enjoys walks and running around the park.
She's a very active, vibrant girl who demands your attention.
She is no wallflower!
Bonnie is not yet housebroken but she is learning and does know how to use a doggie door.
She gets along very well with children and other dogs.
Boo is a recent transfer from Homeward Bound Pugs in OK. Boo was abandoned in a home for two weeks with his brother Vincent.
They had little or no food or water.
A nice lady found out about them and called the police.
Boo had to spend five days in the shelter before he could be turned over to rescue.
Boo looks pretty rough right now and had erlichia from ticks.
With some good food and lots of love, he should be looking very handsome in a few weeks.
He has lots of hair loss from a flea infestation and is very underweight right now.
Despite his ordeal, he is such a happy boy.
His tail never stops wagging and he just loves attention.
We think Boo if between four and six years old.
Boo is hoping his forever home will soon find him and give him the life he deserves.
He is a good boy and gets along great with all the other puggies in his foster home.
Bosley is an adorable fawn male with a distinguished touch of gray to his face.
We estimate he is about 10 years old.
This poor little guy was found wandering the streets all alone.
How someone could have let go of this sweetie-pie is a mystery!
Bosley has been neutered, microchipped, brought up to date on his vaccinations and given a full teeth cleaning.
He has a bit of arthritis in his left hip.
Bosley is a wonderful little guy.
He is very well mannered, housebroken and knows basic commands.
He gets along beautifully with other dogs as well as children.
However, his sole purpose in life is to get you to rub his belly!
This guy will drop on his back in a heartbeat to get that rubbin'!
He is a very happy, social guy who has a lot of zest for life.
If you love the seniors, but want one that doesn't act like an old fogey, then Bosley just might be your fella!
Bridget is a gorgeous fawn female who was found wandering around by a Good Samaritan who took her in and tried to find her family.
Unfortunately nobody had microchipped her and nobody came forward to claim her, so she was turned over to us to find her a new home.
We estimate she is about 3-4 years old.
She is now microchipped and has been brought current on her vaccinations.
She appears to be a healthy girl.
She’s a very sweet girl who is definitely a lap dog.
She very much loves humans and likes to be near someone who can cuddle her.
She enjoys sleeping in a human bed and is not much of a morning pug.
She appears used to living with a cat and also gets on well with other dogs.
She also gets on very well with children and is described by her foster as “very tolerant of lots of kid hugs.” She is quite playful, enjoying a game of fetch or tug-o-war.
PLEASE NOTE: Bridget and Clifford are a bonded pair and as such will only be adopted out together.
Brodi is a fawn male puppy.
Yes, he is actually only 9 months old though he looks much older!
This not-so-little guy appears to be a Pug-Bulldog mix.
At 9 months of age he still has his baby teeth but already weighs 30 pounds.
It doesn't look like he will be much taller, but he will probably get a bit bigger around.
Brodi was found wandering the streets and taken in by a Good Samaritan who tried to find his family.
Unfortunately, it does not appear that anyone has been caring for this guy as he is positive for hookworms, Demodex mange and a yeast infection on his skin.
He is currently undergoing treatment and will recovery fully.
He has been brought up to date on his vaccinations, microchipped and neutered.
Brodi is every bit a puppy - very playful and sweet.
He gets along very well with other dogs and even cats.
He is also very good with young children.
He is housebroken but still has a lot to learn.
Now he needs someone to teach him cool stuff like how to play ball and sit for treats!
Bruno is a fawn male who came to us from a local shelter.
He is a young guy, we believe he is between 1 to 2 years old.
He has a severe injury to his left eye which will require surgical removal.
Right now he is on medical hold but we will be updating his profile once he is stabilized and moved from our vet's hospital into a foster home.
Bud is a adorable black male who was found wandering the streets without tags or a microchip.
A Good Samaritan took him in but was unable to keep him so we were contacted to find him a home.
We estimate he is only about 1 year old.
He is in good health.
He has been brought up to date on his vaccinations, microchipped and neutered.
Bud is a little sweetheart who is going to make someone a wonderful pet.
He is housebroken and well mannered.
He gets along well with other dogs too.
This guy just needs someone who will look after him and spoil him rotten.
Meet Buddy.
Buddy is named after the human who lived among elves in the movie 'Elf'.
Our 'Buddy' lives among Pugs but is actually a Pug/Boston Terrier mix.
He is all Pug at heart though, and that is what really counts.
Buddy is a young male, about 10 months old.
He is as playful as his age suggests - he loves to run, play tug of war, or chew on a bone or toy.
He's also extremely sweet and loveable.
When he slows down, he loves to do it curled up on your lap or next to you.
It's hard not to fall in love with this little guy instantly - he has that sweet puggy look in his eyes that will melt any heart.
He has lived the last 6 months of his life in a crate so he is currently in the process of being housebroken, but he is learning well from his fellow pug roomates.
He gets along well with other dogs, but he is very playful, so would do best in a home who has a playful dog as well.
He has no known health issues.
He's neutered, microchipped and up to date on shots.
If you are in search of a young, sweet, playful companion - Buddy is your guy!
My name is Bugs - like the bunny, not the insect!
I'm a 5 1/2 year old black male.
I have been neutered and am up to date on all my shots.
I've had an injury in the past to one of my eyes so I've got a little vision loss in one eye but other than that I'm in good shape.
I had a faintly positive heartworm test, but they tell me that with monthly Heartguard I should 'convert' to heartworm negative in a few months.
(Apparently that's one test they want you to fail!)
I'm what they call an owner surrender - which means my family couldn't keep me or my brother Maximus anymore.
But since they kept us outside & it's starting to get to that hot time of year, I think that's a good thing.
I know my name and can answer to it when called.
I'm also what they call 'crate trained' though I'd rather run around free!
I've decided I like living in houses and would like a family that would keep me inside all the time.
I'm even willing to share that home with another dog - or even a cat!
Everyone tells me how cute I am.
I know it's true and I make a point of letting people have a chance to pet me and tell me just how sweet I am.
I also like to play with other dogs, though I don't understand all of the neat games they play since nobody's ever played them with me.
Maybe someone could teach me and then I'd reward them with puggy-luv!
Bunny is an adorable fawn female.
She was a stray that somebody found on the street.
When nobody claimed her we were contacted to find her a new home.
We estimate she is about 4 years old.
She has been spayed, microchipped and brought current on her vaccinations.
Thankfully she is heartworm negative and is now on preventative.
We have named her Bunny for 2 reasons: firstly we picked her up on Easter weekend and secondly she hops like a bunny when she runs!
Really, she does!
Poor little Bunny has some old hip injuries that cause her 'hopping' movements when she runs.
She moves her back legs together, rather than in sequence.
It looks like she might have been hit by a car and never received any treatment, which allowed her hips to heal out of correct alignment.
It is too late to correct it now, but it doesn't seem to cause her any pain or give her any problems.
In fact, this little girl seems VERY happy.
She loves people and being held and loves to be the center of attention.
This is one little lady that loves life.
Buscemi is a 3 1/2 year-old male fawn.
He is current on all of his vaccinations and has been microchipped.
He is an owner surrender due to family changes.
He is in excellent health and has recently been neutered.
He is not presently housebroken but is quickly learning what a doggie door is and how to use it.
Buscemi is a bit shy when meeting new people and animals at first, but once he warms up to you he is quite friendly and playful.
He does very well with children and other dogs.
Buscemi will make an excellent addition to a lucky family out there.
He's just waiting to hear from them now!
Buster is a 7 year old male fawn.
He has been neutered and microchipped.
He is up to date on his vaccinations and is heartworm negative.
He is good health except for being a bit on the 'fluffy' side - nothing a bit of a diet won't fix!
Buster is an owner surrender due to family changes.
He is housebroken and gets on well with other pugs.
He loves to go for walks.
He also has quite a bit of a playful side and does not act his age.
In between play periods, he loves to sit on a lap and have a nap.
He's a very good snuggler and will make somebody a very loving lap dog.
Butch is a gorgeous young fawn male.
We estimate he is between 1 1/2 and 2 years old.
He was found wandering the streets and when nobody came for him we were contacted to find him a home.
This little guy seems to have been out on his own for a while as he has an ugly (but non-contagious) yeast infection on his skin.
He is receiving medicated baths and will recovery quickly.
He is in otherwise excellent health.
He has been brought up to date on his vaccinations, microchipped and neutered.
Butch is a very excited, happy guy.
He loves to play and is a very social pug.
He gets on very well with other dogs and would do well in a multi-pet household.
Buzz is a very sweet fawn male.
We estimate he is between 2 to 3 years old.
He has been brought current on his vaccinations, microchipped and neutered.
He seems healthy but definitely needs to gain some weight as he is pretty skinny right now.
Buzz is a very gentle boy who has obviously been someone's pet at some time.
He knows some commands like 'sit'.
As he was not neutered when we found him, he has a habit of marking his territory.
However, he is now neutered and his foster Mom is working on the housebreaking.
He's a smart boy so we think he'll figure it out.
He gets along well with other dogs but is rather timid - definitely not an Alpha dog.
He would do well as an only pet or with a calm companion.
Though he plays with others, he much prefers to sit next to you on a sofa.
Beau is a sweet fawn male.
He is 9 years old and comes to us from a puppy mill where he has been used for breeding.
He has now been neutered so he can relax and enjoy his "retirement."
He is current on his vaccinations and has been microchipped.
He is in excellent health.
Beau is a cuddler.
He loves nothing better than to snuggle up with a human and keep their lap warm.
He is a sweet, gentle fellow who has a lot of time to make up for.
Now that he knows what it's like to be a pampered pet and not a "working" dog, he is ready to become your new best friend.
Bentley is a 10 year old fawn male.
He is an owner surrender.
He is moderately heartworm positive and has begun conservative treatment.
He is current on his vaccinations and has been neutered.
Bruce is a 5 year old fawn male.
He came to us from a local shelter.
He is severe heartworm positive and has begun treatment.
He has been neutered and is current on his vaccinations.
Bruce is a happy little guy!
He is housebroken, gets along well with other dogs, but is also very content just hanging out with a bone or toy to chew on.
He loves attention, but would prefer to lay at your feet than sit next to you on the couch.
Although, he does like to cuddle on the big bed at night.
He has had his heartworm treatment and is almost through with the confinement period.
He will be ready to go make one lucky family very happy!
Bandit is a 2 year old fawn male.
He is an owner surrender.
He is heartworm negative and in good health.
He has been neutered, microchipped and current on his vaccinations.
From Bandit's Foster: Bandit is a sweet 2 year old male.
He loves to cuddle.
He is very playful gets along well with other dogs.
He loves being with people.
Bandit loves to follow you around and he is learning how much fun it is to play with toys.
Bella is a fawn female who we estimate to be 5 or 6 years old.
She has been brought current on his vaccinations, microchipped and spayed.
She is in good health.
From Bella's foster: It is apparent that she had been previously cared for as she is in good health (heart worm negative) and well groomed.
Most of the time she is all lady.
However, she can be ill-tempered to the other male dogs in the house.
She is house broken.
She loves to sit by your side or on your lap, and follow her foster parents around.
She knows how to play with toys, but is learning how to play with other dogs.
She can be somewhat aggressive when playing with people.
She play bites but does not hurt you, and she growls and shows her teeth when playing, which we think is her way of playing.
We would not recommend her for a family with young children.
She has tended to show more affection to her male foster parent.
She would be especially good for a single dog home.
Story coming soon
There are not words to describe how truly wonderful Bobby is.
He is a beautiful, happy, healthy six month old puppy full of life and with an abundance of love to give some very special human.
It just so happens he was born without his sight, but as the saying goes "you don't miss what you've never had" and Bobby is a perfect example of this.
He has no idea he should be able to see.
After I had him for a few days I thought we should change his name to Radar, because he definitely has something very close!
He very seldom even comes close to bumping into things, it's like he can feel it there.
I have another blind dog that had to get use to the house before he was able to navigate without incident, but Bobby just started running around like he had lived at the house for months.
He was so skinny when we got him (6 pounds) that he was frail, I was quite careful when picking him up so I didn't hurt him.
Well, Bobby has a HUGE appetite and he no longer has bones sticking out everywhere!
Since he has started gaining weight he doesn't sleep as much and is playing like a happy puppy.
I have to let him wear himself out and then try to hold him for my cuddles (I need his cuddles).
The first time I saw him actually playing with a toy made me cry with joy!
He has also started playing with the other dogs in true puppy fashion.
I can't begin to tell you how easy it is to love this little guy.
He doesn't have a handicap...he's just the most special foster I have ever had!
All he needs is a chance from some special person to show you how great he is!
Please be that someone special for Bobby!
Abbey is a 4 year old black female.
She came to us through a local shelter.
She is mildly heartworm positive.
She is in otherwise good health.
She has been spayed, microchipped and is up to date on her vaccinations.
Abbey is a very sweet girl, very timid and quiet.
From Abbey's Foster Mom: Abby is quite a sweet little girl.
As you can see from her pictures, she is absolutely beautiful.
Her coat is SOLID black and she has one of the prettiest faces I have seen on a pug (and I'm not a bit biased!)
It's obvious that she has been someone's pet and I believe she was pampered.
Abby talks to me when she wants something.
The first time I heard her I wasn't sure what it was, I thought a kitten may have been stuck somewhere outside, but it was Abby.
She has several little noises and they are all really cute.
She does bark when the other dogs get started but she's never the one to start it.
She is definitely a companion, she wants to be on my lap all the time.
She has a tendency to be an alpha, she does like to have things her way.
She has never been aggressive, she's just very determined.
She likes to play with toys and she has impeccable house manners, she has not had one accident.
She also likes to play with her pug brothers.
I think she would do well in a home with another dog.
She does well with large dogs (Great Dane) but has not been exposed to cats.
She has a very loving and playful personality and will make some lucky family a wonderful new addition!
Bond, James Bond.
Fawn male.
License to run around like a puppy and steal your heart.
B.B.
is a black male.
He is only 1 year old.
He is an owner surrender through no fault of his own.
He is in good health and is heartworm negative.
He is not neutered but will be prior to placement.
Is is current on his vaccinations and has been microchipped.
B.B.
is a cutie, but he obviously has not been given much training.
He is learning the rules of the house and how to walk on a lead.
He will need to go to a home with lots of patience and structure, as training a puppy takes a lot of time and consistency.
Beth is a gorgeous black female.
She is approximately 3 years old.
This poor little girl has been through a lot lately.
She came to us after being hit by a car.
She had fractured her pelvis in 3 places and required crate rest to heal.
We are happy to report that she has made a full recovery and is now up and about with no residual effects.
She is missing her right eye but that must've happened quite a long time ago.
She is heartworm negative, spayed and otherwise healthy.
Bonnie is a 5 year old fawn female.
She appears to have been used for breeding in her past life but those days are far behind her now!
She has now been spayed.
Unfortunately she is heartworm positive and is now starting treatment.
She is in otherwise good health.
She is now current on her vaccinations and microchipped.
From Bonnie's Foster: Bonnie is one fun little dog.
She loves human touch because she didn't have very much of that when she was used as a breeder.
She is addicted to the internet, and gets very animated whether she is looking at images or watching a video on Youtube.
Her special time each day is sitting in my lap at the computer.
she also hides her chew toys all over the house, and seems to remember where they all are.
Bonnie is beautifully potty-trained.
She does have access to a doggy door, and uses it freely.
She is crated at night only because she needs to be reminded of her place in the pack.
Bonnie has an Alpha female side to her, and when she first arrived at our home she tried to work her way up the pecking order within our pack of 3 dogs by starting some fights.
She is doing well now but it is important to establish the pecking order and keep the structure and routines in tact for her.
She responds to well-timed verbal correctons.
Bonnie would probably do very well as an only dog or one of 2 dogs where she would be in the number one position, and be paired with a male dog.
She loves to go on walks, and is starting to play with stuffed toys.
But by far her favorite items are chew toys.
AND the INTERNET.
She is a hoot
Brady is an adorable fawn male.
He is about 3 years old.
He came to us when he was taken to a local animal shelter after being hit by a car.
This poor little guy was suffering from a broken leg and has since undergone surgery to repair it.
Unfortunately his bad luck didn't end there as he has tested positive for heartworms.
He has been started on conservative therapy but he will soon begin more aggressive treatment.
Meanwhile he has been neutered, microchipped and brought up to date on all of his vaccinations.
Archie is a black male.
We believe he is about 5 years old.
He was found wandering the streets alone with no collar or microchip.
It's obvious that nobody has been looking after him as he is severe heartworm positive.
He will begin aggressive treatment shortly.
He has already been neutered and is now also current on his vaccinations and microchipped.
From Archie's Foster: Archie is one cool dude.
He is very laid back and gets along with everyone in the house.
His favorite things are (in this order) EATING, napping and taking long walks with the pack.
He loves to sniff everything outside!
Archie is usually the one lagging behind on our walks because he almost never takes his nose off the ground.
He adorably barks in his sleep, and then wakes himself up.
He has learned to sit and stay and will go into his crate on command.
He has the cutest white markings on his chin, chest and front paws, as though he lay down in a puddle of white pain.
He is a happy go lucky little guy and is great with children.
Bea is a gorgeous senior fawn female.
We estimate she is about 10-12 years old.
She comes to us from a local shelter so we don't know her background.
However, it looks like she hasn't been anybody's pet for a while.
Thankfully she is heartworm negative but her nails were so overgrown that they had grown into the pads of her feet.
She has one "small" eye that never developed - probably has been that way all her life.
She sees fine with the other one and probably doesn't know her vision is different than other dogs.
She has a bit of a skin issue right now as she seems to have a flea allergy.
And living on the streets wouldn't help that at all.
But now that she's in our care that should clear.
She is a sweetheart of a girl that deserves to be somebody's pampered pet.
Bogie is a fawn male.
He is an owner surrender through no fault of his own.
He is 4 years old.
Bogie is a well behaved little gentleman.
He is housebroken and knows basic commands.
He gets on well with his foster fur-siblings but doesn't appear to be used to being around other animals.
Group play is something he is learning.
He does love to play with toys though.
Abigail is a fawn female.
We estimate she is around 5 years old.
This poor little girl was found wandering the streets, following a homeless man for companionship.
She has been treated for heartworm, spayed and brought up to date on her shots.
Abby is very intelligent and has picked up commands very easily.
She is a very happy pug and loves to play with her other puggy pals.
She loves stuffed animals and playing fetch; loves to sit on your lap and give kisses.
She is an alpha dog and does not get along with other females but does just fine with submissive males.
I do not suggest her being around younger children, as she tends to play to rough - never trying to hurt them, but she is a rough-and-tumble kinda girl.
Abby has spent her time on the streets and is now looking for a cozy home and permanent family that will pamper her.
Buddha is a sweet fawn male.
He came to us from a local shelter.
We estimate he is about 8 years old.
He is heartworm negative and has been neutered.
He is current on his vaccinations and microchipped.
He is also housetrained and goes to the back door when he needs outside.
From Buddha's Foster: Buddha has fit in perfectly around here.
He is my shadow when I am home, can always be found at my feet.
We have been walking in the neighborhood each evening and Buddha rather enjoys this.
We have done up to a mile depending on the temperature outside and he does quite well.
I think he would do well as part of a group or an only pet.
He will play if played with but rarely initiates the playing.
You know I think that anyone who can put up with my dog is a saint!
He is a very calm gentleman that loves to be close to his human.
He also seems to enjoy laying out on the deck "sunning" for brief periods.
Amelia is a fawn female.
She was thrown out of a car and a Good Samaritan who witnessed this rescued her and called us to help her.
We believe she is about 5 years old.
She looks like she has probably been used by a puppy mill.
She has been negected as well as overbred.
She is severe heartworm positive, suffering from whipworms & hookworms and has a severe skin irritation due to fleas.
Despite everything that she has been through she is a sweet, gentle girl who loves to be held and be around people.
She is content to be held an cuddled for long periods of time.
She is being spayed and will begin heartworm treatment soon.
She needs a special home that will show her what the life of a spoiled princess puggy can be like.
From Amelia's Foster: Amelia is so sweet.
She loves her humans and must be in constant contact.
She loves to have her tummy rubbed.
She is also quite playful and plays chase with the other dogs.
She gets on well with children and adults alike.
She is currently working on being housetrained.
Annie is a fawn female.
She is 1 year old.
She has been spayed, microchipped and is current on her vaccinations.
She does have a scarred right eye which does not seem to cause her any issues.
She is in excellent health.
From Annie's Foster: Annie is a very energetic, 1 year old, female, fawn.
She loves to play and does very well with other dogs, even ones that are twice her size.
She is also a very good eater, as most pugs are!
When she isn't running around playing, she likes to lay in her bed and chew raw hide bones.
She has never displyed any other chewing habits, such as on shoes or anything else laying around.
Her foster parents are still working on potty training, but she is already doing a great job!
Annie loves people!
She is very comfortable approaching new people and will often lay on a strangers lap to be a part of the group.
Annie is very affectionate and loves to cuddle on the couch and give lots of kisses.
We hardley ever hear her bark, and if she does it's at excitement to see us come home.
Annie would make a great pet for anyone who has another small pet at home that likes to play.
Belladonna is a gorgeous fawn female.
She is a one year old girl who was turned into a shelter by her family.
We cannot imagine why.
She is beautiful, hyper and everything a 1 year old female should be.
She will be seen by our vet this week for her spay and to update her vaccinations.
She appears to be very healthy.
She is doing great with multiple dogs and is scared of nothing.
She is smaller and thinks chase is the best game ever.
Belladonna would prefer a house with lots of activity and at least one other dog to keep her company (and amused.)
Bailey is a handsome 4 year old fawn male.
He is in good health and is heartworm negative.
He does have some current skin itchiness but we believe that is from his fleas which we have cleared.
He has been neutered and is current on his vaccinations.
He is a big boy - he currently weighs 24 lbs - but is not overweight.
He's just a big guy.
He is full of energy and gets on well with other dogs.
He is housetrained and does not mark.
He knows his name and follows basic commands like Sit and Come.
He seems to be a very well behaved fellow who is looking for a home to be a part of.
Bogart is a gorgeous fawn male.
He comes to us from a local shelter so we don't know his history.
We estimate he is about 2 years old.
He is being neutered and brought current on his vaccinations.
Bogart's foster reports that he "is a great dog and really really coming into the puggie he always should have been from the day he was born."
8/24/2021 Bogart #374, passed away last week.
He was adopted by Liz Vartkessian and Jonny Moreland and was renamed Bunk.
He was loved beyond words.
Audrey is a beautiful fawn female.
We estimate she is between 2 to 3 years old.
Unfortunately she is heartworm positive and will be starting treatment soon.
She is housebroken and gets on well with other dogs.
Her foster Mom describes her as a "cuddler and a lover."
From Audrey's foster: There are not words to describe how beautiful, sweet and gentle Audrey is.
She was aptly named, she could put on a pearl necklace and be Audrey Hepburn’s pampered pet in Breakfast at Tiffany’s.
She acts like royalty.
She will sit on my lap as long as I will sit still.
Then she’s right on the couch when I sit back down waiting for me to cuddle her again.
She is the perfect Pug!
She is housetrained and she has never done anything wrong.
She wasn’t sure about the eye drops at first but now she is fine with it.
She LOVES to sleep in the bed!
As you can probably tell, Audrey has stolen my heart and all it will take is one look from her beautiful eyes and she will steal yours also!
Brittany is a fawn female.
She comes to us from a local shelter so we don't know her history.
We estimate she is between 3 to 4 years old.
She has one "bad" eye and one "good" eye.
She is a sweet little lady.
From Brittany's foster: Britney is a sweet active girl.
She would do best in a household with another dog who loves to play, as she has fallen head over paws in love with another Pughearts foster, Mr. Dill Pickle!
They play constantly, and she practically moons over him.
She knows the basic command "sit", and has shown that she is a fairly quick learner.
She has a few unique traits and talents, she can jump up waist high from a stand still (very unusual for a pug), and she has the cutest little underbite with a tongue that sticks out a bit on a regular basis.
She was stuck to me like glue initially, but now that she feels more secure in the home and the family routine, she is settling down.
Bed sleeper she is as well, has to be snuggled right up to your side, now who wouldn't want a dog like her?
Abby is a 3 year old female.
We will post a full bio once Abby has settled into her foster home.
Ben is a fawn male.
He comes to us from a shelter so we don't know his history.
He is between 4 to 5 years old.
He is in pretty good health except for a case of mange which is being treated.
He is heartworm negative.
He has been neutered, microchipped and is current on his vaccinations.
From Ben's foster: He is one cool puggie.
The perfect balance of snuggle bunny and play companion.
He wags his whole body and follows you around the house making "C" curves in alternating directions with his body.
He's housebroken and does not mark.
He's a little underweight for his size which is kind of tall with large-boned legs, and his coat is kind of rough; but with the way he loves to eat that won't last long.
He fit in seamlessly with our pack, playing with the playful ones and deferring to the dominant members.
My alpha bitch is in love (as are we), and she washes his face and ears and play bows to him.
He loves rawhide chewies, and will calmly sit on your lap, by your side, or cuddled next to you in the bed (his favorite spot.)
He rarely barks or licks, but does have an array of whimpers and grunts - especially when wrestling with human or dog.
This guy would make a perfect companion for anyone.
Bowie is a black male.
He is 3 years old.
He is an owner surrender through no fault of his own.
He is in good health except for being a bit overweight.
He is heartworm negative.
He is neutered, microchipped and current on his vaccinations.
From Bowie (with a little help from his foster): Hi!
I'm Bowie!
I've been told that I need to tell you a little bit about myself.
So, let me start off with the fact that "little" is not a term that is normally used to describe me!
I'm a big guy, with a big personality!
I currently weigh about 32 lbs, but that's down a bit from when I first came to PugHearts.
My foster mom tells me that we still have a few more pounds to go - but that I shouldn't feel badly because I'm just a big pug in general.
She tells me how handsome I am and that she couldn't love me any more any other way.
I'm on a diet, and so far, it hasn't been too bad.
She also tells me that I remind her of a bear cub sometimes - maybe that's because I'm so cuddly.
I love to cuddle with her or my foster dad on the couch when they watch tv or read.
Hmm..what else can I tell you?
Oh, I'm about 3 or 4 years old, I'm healthy and I go potty outside!
(She says that's a real plus!).
I like the other dogs in my foster home too.
I'm a pretty friendly and social kinda guy.
I like to play sometimes, but mostly I like to relax or chew on a good bone.
I certainly don't mean to brag - but my foster mom says I'm quite a catch!
B.J.
is a black male.
He came to us as an owner surrender at 6 years old.
Update: My name is Buddy.
When you had me my name was B.J.
I just wanted to let you know how well I am doing.
I have been at my new home for about a year and a half.
You could not have found me a better mommy and daddy.
Plus now I have a brother and three sisters.
I lover to play with my brother Mr. C. He is a 105 pound labradoodle, but he knows I am the boss.
I bully him sometimes.
Mommy fusses at me but then I lick her and she forgets why she is upset with me.
Every night I get brushed and loved on before bedtime.
Then, I wait patiently at Mommy's side of the bed until she picks me up and then I curl up in her arms and go to sleep.
I am not a morning dog like my sister Buffy or the Kitten.
I prefer to snuggle with mommy and daddy.
And, Mommy loves to have me snuggle with her.
Although, I was originally gotten for Daddy, I know who feeds me so I pay extra attention to Mommy.
Also, my daddy has cancer so I know how important it is to make Mommy feel better.
While Daddy is sick I am the man of the house.
I make sure I keep Mommy safe.
Oh you would not even recognize me.
I have gained weight and I have a full coat of thick black hair.
Mommy says I am the most handsome Pug around.
I still have trouble with allergies but our vet Dr. Pickle and my mommy make sure I am well taken care of on a regular basis.
So, I guess I am a success story.
Thank you to all who helped me find my real home.
And, I hope that other lost pugs find their way to their "real" owners.
Love, Buddy
Artie is a fawn male.
He is 5 years old.
He appears to be in very good health and is heartworm negative.
He is neutered and current on his vaccinations.
We will post a full bio for Artie once he settles into his foster home.
Angelina is a fawn female.
She comes to us from a local shelter.
From Angelina's foster: Angelina is one sweet little girl.
She hasn't received much care in her past life but that has all changed now.
She is being treated for her demodex mange and is showing signs of new hair growth.
nce all her hair has grown back she is going to be a light fawn color.
She has a face any pug would envy, she's really a beauty!
She also has exceptional eyes.
She is quite playful, she loves to play tug o' war and play with the stuffed toys (or they were stuffed until someone found the stuffing and pulled it all out :)) She is quite a good cuddler also.
She will play for awhile and then all of a sudden I'll notice that I have one more pug on my lap snoring.
Her house habits are exceptionally good for someone of her age, in fact she is an all round well behaved little girl.
She has a very high pitched speaking voice so we're working on not using it as much, but that's about the only thing that needs improvement with Angelina.
I believe that if she has a choice she would like to have a furry brother or sister, but would do well as an only pet if she received enough exercise.
She is friendly to everyone and I think would do well with children, she isn't overly aggressive with her play habits and I don't think she would knock them over by jumping on them when playing.
Angelina will be a very welcome addition to almost any active home.
Bryan is a fawn male.
He is about 2 or 3 years old.
He was found wandering the streets with no tags or microchip.
He is severe heartworm positive and will begin treatment shortly to clear them.
He has been neutered, microchipped and is current on his vaccinations.
From Bryan's foster: Bryan is a young beautiful boy!
He must not have been treated very nicely in his former life because he was extremely timid when we first brought him to our home.
Despite his fear, he was very sweet and loved to be held.
He's come a long way already and is trusting us more and more each day.
He has a lot of personality - he loves playing with toys!
We often find him pulling out toys from his toy box, growling and playing with them.
He loves being in a crate - if you can't find Bryan, he's usually curled up in his crate surrounded by all of his toys (he's a bit of a toy hoarder!).
He's not housebroken yet, but he is improving.
He gets along very well with our other dogs.
Bryan will be going through heartworm treatment within the next couple of weeks and then will be ready for a new home!
Bryan needs a home with someone who is willing to be slow with him and love him like he so deserves.
He is a precious boy!
Blake is a fawn male.
He is 3 years old.
He is a bog boy at 34 pounds so he needs to lose some weight.
He is severe heartworm positive and will begin treatment shortly.
He has been neutered, microchipped and is current on his vaccinations.
From Blake's Foster: Blake is such an handsome big boy.
He may weigh 42 pounds but he acts like a big baby!
Because of his weight he is on a strict diet of dog food and green beans.
He is great with children and other animals and loves being held and giving kisses.
He has to wear a belt around him to keep him from marking around the house, but he has almost completly dropped that habit.
He loves being scratched behind the ears and is currently working on learning how to sit.
Blake would fit in well with a family with other animals, or as an only dog.
The only thing he wants is love, attention, and treats!
Blake is such a sweet boy and has a great big heart!
Alexis is a fawn female.
She came to us from an out of state puppy mill where she was used for breeding.
She is 6 years old.
Poor Alexis was suffering from a painful left eye injury, hookworms and ringworms.
She is also heartworm positive.
We were unable to save her eye but now that it has been removed she is pain free.
She has also been spayed so she never has to worry about having puppies again.
Her hookworms and ringworms should be clear now that she's received medications and her heartworm treatment will begin shortly.
This sweet little girl has had a pretty rough life so far but we've promised her that those days are far behind her and we will find somebody who will treat her like the cherished pet she should've always been.
Ariel is a fawn female.
She is 3 years old.
She comes to us from a local shelter.
She is heartworm postive and will begin treatment shortly.
She has been spayed, microchipped and brought current on her vaccinations.
From Ariel's foster: Ariel is a sweet, gentle little lady.
She loves to snuggle and give pug kisses and play chase.
She is completely house trained and is very well mannered.
She would love to lay on your lap bundled up in a blanket all day.
Amanda is a fawn female.
She comes to us from a local animal control facility.
We believe she is just 2 years old.
She is severe heartworm positive and will begin treatment shortly.
She also is suffering from a case of hookworms that is being treated.
She has been spayed and brought current on her vaccinations.
She is a really sweet little girl that deserves a chance at a healthy, happy life.
Story coming soon
This little girl (13 lbs) was apparently quite neglected: she was not socialized with either dogs or people.
She had to learn EVERYTHING, especially respecting boundaries (canine & human).
She was also guilty of resource guarding, treats, food and toys.
With consistent rules and strong pack leadership she has transformed in just a few weeks from a wild child; to a calm, friendly snuggle-bug.
She is completely housebroken (to OUR house: she may need some correction to generalize where it's OK to potty and where not), she sits patiently for treats and food, takes gently when hand-fed, and loves to be held, and comes when called (she knows her name).
She follows you around the house wherever you go, and she is so quiet we had to put a bell on her collar to avoid tripping over the little thing.
With her health improving she should be ready for spaying and heartworm treatment soon.
She is great with people (including strangers), and is getting much better with other dogs: she has several successful trips to the dog park under her belt.
Just in the last couple days she has begun snuggling with my alpha bitch when no human is available.
A little love-sponge, she still doesn't know what play is.
Give her time though, once healthy she may very well be the perfect pug!
This is one worth waiting for.
And she is SO cute...
Bingo is a black male.
He was found wandering the streets with no tags or microchip.
We believe he is about 2 years old.
He is in excellent health.
He is heartworm negative and has been neutered.
He is current on his vaccinations and has been microchipped.
As you can see, he is a handsome, happy guy!
He is very sweet and loves to play with small and big dogs.
Able is a black male.
He is 7 years old.
He is in good health; he is heartworm negative.
He has been neutered, microchipped and is current on his vaccinations.
Brandon is a fawn male.
He is 2-3 years old.
He was picked up by a local animal control facility and nobody came to claim him so we were called.
He is severe heartworm positive.
He has been neutered and brought current on his vaccinations.
This charmer has manners, so he's obviously been someone's pet at one time, though his heartworm positive status tells us nobody has been taking care of him.
He does have some dry eye and is on medication for that.
From Brandon's foster: Brandon is very happy to be rescued and be back in a home with people who love him.
He's the first one to jump in your lap when you sit down and wants to climb up until he's nose to nose with you.
He's a beautiful golden brown and reminds me of a lion club.
He's definitely a chow hound and roams from bowl to bowl at meal times.
He's perfectly house trained and knows the command Sit.
Once he's cured of his heartworms, he will be the perfect pet for someone who wants to snuggle with a pug and get puggle kisses.
Update: We are thrilled to report that Brandon has completed his heartworm treatment and is now clear!
This means he is ready for his new home!
Auggie is a fawn pug mix.
His mommy was a pug rescued by PugHearts shortly before his birth.
He was born Jan. 16th, 2010.
Auggie is in excellent health.
From Auggie (with a little help from his foster): "HI, my name is Auggie and I really am part pug-on my mom's side--and I am now ready for my forever family to come for me.
I love everyone that I meet--girls more that guys--and would probably rather have a canine friend who wants to play than be alone.
I think I would probably benefit from some training--or so my foster mom keeps telling me just before we sit down for some snuggling.
I really love it when we snuggle on her bed for a short nap, but I am happy to sleep in my crate for the night if I must.
I have a lot of energy 'cause I still a baby and really do need my play time.
If there is anuthing dropped when 'mom' is cooking , I can usually beat her to it.
I help that way.
When we are outside, I am very curious about everything, 'cause it's all new to me and I need to check it out to be sure it's ok.
When my foster dad trimmed some bushes, I helped him move them around the yard--that was fun!!
They just laughed abnd laughed with me.
I like to hide under the bushes and pounce on my sister ou one of the other guys who come by and didn't know that I was there--then we run and chase and tumble together and have lots of fun.
My foster grandma uses a stick to walk with and I have learned to be careful around her and not get underfoot or play with her stick--it's kinda heavy anyway.
I am trying to learn how to be a good boy and my mom seems to love me a lot 'cause she is always telling me so and giving me hugs and kisses and belly rubs which I like.
I now guess that the next thing I need is my forever family so that I can continue to grow into the best boy I can be.
Sooo forever mom, come get me."
Axel is a fawn pug mix.
He mommy was a pug rescued by PugHearts shortly before his birth.
From Axel's foster: Axel is the cutest little puppy that ever lived (I am a bit biased though)!
He was born Jan. 16th.
He is the most affectionate one of his litter.
He Just wants to be held and given some loving.
His parentage is a bit hazy.
His mother is a pure pug but who knows about his papa?
Though speculation is that his dad may have been a jack russell.
He is such a ball of energy and would be great for a household with children along with any of his other littermates.
He is very healthy and will be neutered before he is adopted out.
He is looking for his forever home and would be an amazing fit for any family that doesn't mind the training of a new puppy.
Can you give Axel the home that he deserves?
Atticus is a fawn pug mix.
He mommy was a pug rescued by PugHearts shortly before his birth.
From Atticus' foster: Atticus is an adorable little male puppy that was born Jan. 16th.
He seems to be the brainy one of the litter.
He is the first to catch on to everything new.
His parentage is a bit hazy.
His mother is a pure pug but who knows about his papa?
Though speculation is that his dad may have been a jack russell.
He is such a sweet puppy and wants only to shower his puppy breath kisses on you.
Who can resist that?
He is very healthy and will be neutered before he is adopted out.
He is looking for his forever home and would be an amazing fit for any family that doesn't mind the training of a new puppy.
Can you give Atticus the home that he deserves?
one of Addison's puppies
Ava is a fawn pug mix.
Her momma was a pug rescued by PugHearts shortly before her birth.
She was born on January 16th.
Ava is in excellent health.
From Ava (with a little help from her Foster): Hello, my name is Ava.
:-) I was born on 1/16/2010 after my pug mommy was rescued by PugHearts only 3 days earlier.
I may look like a terrier, but I don’t really act like one.
I enjoy lounging on the couch w/ my foster mommy and sometimes I like to play w/ my doggie foster brothers.
I am a little shy when I first meet new people, but I warm up quickly.
I am a very good girl and hardly ever bark or chew on things (other than toys that is).
I am house trained and am currently working on crate training.
Life is good, but I would REALLY like to find my very own forever home.
Bailey is a black female.
She has been spayed, microchipped and is current on her vaccinations.
From Bailey's foster: Bailey is a very unique pug, not just in the way she looks but her personality pretty special too.
Firstly, she is very nimble and limber and can jump very high onto things and land on her feet like a cat.
This unique skill works to Bailey's advantage as she can always jump up to where you are and be close to you.
VERY close!
And she gives lots of pug kisses.
Secondly, Bailey is a lady.
In fact, she's so delicate that she even lifts one of her back legs to pee.
Since Bailey is a bit of a prima-donna, she would do best in a home where she is the only dog so she can be the center of attention at all times.
She gets along OK with other dogs, but she's a bit of an instigator and drama queen.
Annabelle is a 2 year old female.
She was not well cared for in her puppyhood.
Annabelle was either stepped on or sat on as a young girl.
This caused a spinal injury that she will live with the rest of her life.
Annabelle's walk and stance are different to help her be able to join the crowd and keep up (if not set the pace).
Please do not feel badly for Annabelle.
She runs, plays tug of war, wrestles and generally acts like a normal young pug.
Annabelle can have a few issues due to this injury.
She drags one of her back feet when she is tired, so this must be monitored for sores.
She occasionally has issues with fecal incontinence.
Annabelle is heartworm negative, already spayed and ready to go.
Do not overlook this bundle of energy due to her injury.
Annabelle is a pleasure and will add joy and excitement to your world.

He is a beautiul boy just waiting for his forever home!
** Buzzer passed on the August 9th 2013 ** We lost our special boy due to liver shunts our poor little monkey most likely had his whole life.
He was my special boy and I will miss him furever.
**************** Buzzer is a Brindle pug mix.
He is 3 years old.
He comes to us from a local shelter.
He is in good health.
He is heartworm negative.
He has been neutered, microchipped and is current on his vaccinations.
From Buzzer's foster: Buzzer is probably THE sweetest pug I have ever met!
He loves other dogs of all ages and kids.
He is timid and shy until he gets to know you, but once he warms up to you he will always be by your side.
He is very laid-back for a younger pug.
His favorite pastime is lounging on the couch, or on the arm of the couch (he seems to think he's a kitty!)
When he gets tired he will go to his bed and go to sleep.
He also likes to play tug-o-war with our other puppies.
He likes car rides and gets along great with our old fat cat.
:)
Bronx is a black male.
He is just 3 years old.
He was an owner surrender to a local animal control facility when they found out he was heartworm positive.
He was literally moments away from being euthanized when a volunteer from another rescue organization intervened and saved him.
They then contacted us to see if we wanted him and of course we never turn any pug away, regardless of their health issues.
This sweet little guy will begin heartworm treatment shortly.
Ashley is a fawn female.
She is 2 years old and came to us as an owner surrender.

He is in otherwise good health.
He is heartworm negative.
He has been neutered, microchipped and is current on his vaccinations.
From Benny's foster: Benny is a cute loving puppy.

He is just looking for a family that will love him.
Bella is a fawn female.
She is 5 years old and an owner surrender through no fault of her own.
She has been spayed, microchipped and is current on her vaccinations.
From Bella (with a little help from her foster mom): Well do I have a story to tell you!
This nasty economy caused the only human parents I have known in my 5 years to lose one of their jobs, and they had to move to a townhome where pets were not allowed.
So, they loved me so much that they found Pughearts, through this thing they call....the internet???
Anyway, they sent an email to some people who then sent emails out to THEIR people and found my foster mom.
I miss my family, but they loved me so much, that I come with a starter kit for my new family, kind of like an incentive package :) So here is my list of attributes: Female (spayed), 5yrs old (in myprime), HW negative (of course!
), house trained (is there any other way?
), a bag of toys & goodies & collar & leash & food (hellooooo, no startup costs!
), petite, height & weight proportionate, fresh manicure, respond to simple commands, and a ZEST for life!
I can spin circles in quick succession, I can run and play with other dogs, large or small, with children, and don't even mind cats!
I bark at anyone that dares to knock on my door, and tell you in no uncertain terms when I am hungry, or need to use the facilities....I like to talk (helloooo!
I'm a GIRL!).
In the interest of full disclosure, I must admit that I have a bit of itchy skin from, dare I say it.......fleas!
But they are gone now and my skin is on the mend.
As you can see from my portfolio of head shots, I only have one eye, but have no problem seeing perfectly!
Please consider the entire package, but know that I will love you like you've never known if you adopt me for life.............I'm WAITING!!!!
So pick up the phone already, I have another mani/pedi appt.
to get to!
Billy is a fawn male.
He is 3 years old.
He comes to us from a local kill shelter.
He's a little guy, only 15 lbs, very cute and lovey.
He is heartworm positive and will begin treatment shortly.
Alex is a fawn male.
He is a young guy - probably about 1 year old.
He is in good health.
He is heartworm negative.
He has been brought current on his vaccinations and microchipped.
He will be neutered prior to placement.
As he comes to us from a shelter, so we don't know his story.
But it looks like life hasn't been too kind to him so far.
He has some small scars on his back at the shoulder; the vet said they look like they may be from burns.
They are all healed and hopefully his fur will return soon.
He's a small little guy at only 12 pounds and it doesn't look like he'll get too much bigger.
He's a lover - he loves to be held.
His foster reports he presses his head into her shoulder like he's hugging her!
He gets on well with his foster siblings and loves to play.
He also is housetrained so he's all ready for his forever home to come claim him!
Boris is a fawn male.
He was found wandering the streets with no tags or microchip.
He is in fair health; he is severe heartworm positive and will begin treatment shortly.
He has been neutered, microchipped and brought current on his vaccinations.
From Boris' foster: Boris is one cool dude.
He is a lay back & chill, sleep-in in the morning kind of guy.
Sometimes he likes to just hang out on a chair by himself, others he wants to lay right next to you, cuddling.
He is an excellent companion; he likes to hang out where you are.
For someone looking for a dog ready to just make himself at home and chill, Boris is the dog for you.
Angel is a fawn female.
She comes to us from a local animal control facility.
She is about 4 years old.
She is moderate heartworm positive and has begun treatment.
She is also suffering from severe dry eye, which is all too common in pugs.
She has been spayed, microchipped and is current on her vaccinations.
From Angel's foster: Angel is a young thing who is very playful with other dogs, but she sits calmly and snuggles, too.
She is short, stocky, and has almost a totally black head (and if she starts answering to "zit", blame her foster dad).
She rides great in the car as long as she is on a lap, where she lays calmly.
Angel is crate trained and will seek out the crate or her bed when she's had enough stimulation.
Her eyes make no tears, so she requires alternating ointment and drops 4-6x a day to preserve what vision is left.
She tilts her head up to get them and appears to realize eye meds make her feel better.
Her impaired sight does not affect her at all, except she is a little hesitant with stairs, but she's getting better all the time.
She jumps on and off the couch with no problem.
To see a video of her at play, check out PugHearts' facebook page and you will see just how cute she is.
She goes into "terrorist" mode 2-3 times a day, and is certainly good for a laugh.
She even gets the older, more sedate pugs in my pack to play with strategic butt bites, play bows, and spins.
She would do better in a home with at least one other dog to play with, and the fewer stairs the better.
Gus (originally Boyd, but he reminds me for some reason of the character Gus from the tv show Psych) is a 5 year old fawn pug male who fully embraces his pugness through his silly noises, his snuggling with me and his new brother, Sam (who you can see behind Gus), and his ability to charm practically anyone.
He was an owner surrender due to financial reasons, and, while I feel sorry that his original people couldn't keep him, I could not be more happy to be his new momma.
In terms of sound effects, he is more like a French bulldog in frequency and volume than a typical pug, and, to prove his individuality, he is more likely to make snoring noises while awake than asleep.
He is my sweet, silly, young pug man.
Barbie is a black female.
She is 5 years old and an owner surrender.
She is in good health; she is heartowm negative.
She has been spayed, microchipped and is current on her vaccinations.
Becca is a fawn female.
She is just 1 year old.
She is an owner surrender.
She is heartworm negative and already spayed.
She is current on her vaccinations.
Boz is a fawn male.
He is 4 years old and an owner surrender.
He is in god health except for being a bit overweight.
He is now on a diet to help him get to a healthy weight.
He is heartworm negative.
He has been neutered, microchipped and brought current on his vaccinations.
I am a single female fawn, and although a lady doesn’t tell her age I am 7-8 years old.
I am looking for a nice loving home.
I had a home with a nice lady before, but she got sick and couldn’t take care of me anymore.
I like to be near my person all the time, following or sleeping at your feet.
I like naps in my bed or on a blanket on the couch.
I won’t get on furniture without an invitation and help up.
I like to sleep in bed with my person at night or I get lonely.
I am great with people of all ages and have recently been in homes with 2 and 4 year old children that I did well with.
I don’t really like to play, I prefer to nap.
I am pretty low key, low energy.
No zoomies with this girl.
I love having behind my ears scratched and occasional belly rubs.
My favorite food is green beans (a girl has to keep her figure).
I do love my food though.
I have dry eye, but my eye drops help.
I have to take them daily.
I am house broken with few accidents, I do prefer that you go outside with me when I potty.
Just ask me if I have to go outside to go potty and I will head for the door.
I would be happiest in a home without another dog or a very submissive dog.
I am not terribly fond of cats but I tolerate them.
My foster mom says I am a very sweet, loving girl, with nice manners.
She would be a great companion for someone retired with a lot of time to spend with her.
Baxter is a fawn male.
He comes to us from an animal control facility.
We believe he is about 6 years old.
He appears to be in good health; he is heartworm negative.
He has been neutered, microchipped and brought current on his vaccinations.
From Baxter's foster: Baxter is a dainty pug weighing in at 18 pounds.
He arrived at our house with a bad cold.
But once he was feeling better a very different and cool dog came out.
Baxter loves to watch videos on Youtube.
He also finds Animal Planet interesting and will paw at the screen.
This just shows how smart he is.
He likes soft squeaky toys and rawhides or hooves.
He lives well with the 5 other dogs except if one tries to take a toy from him.
Then he will do a quick flare up.
He does not like to share.
This sweet little dog is potty-trained and learned the dog door within the first day so he is no longer crated.
He loves to go on walks, and as soon as I sit down he is in my lap and goes to sleep.
He currently is allowed to sleep on the bed.
He snuggles up close and that is it for the night.
Baxter would do well either as an only dog or with another as long as the other dog isn't too pushy.
He is not pushy with the other dogs.
He prefers to concentrate on the humans in the household.
He is not a yappy dog.
Instead he gets attention with a small whimper.
There is a lot to this little dog.
He makes a very nice companion.
Bongo is a fawn male.
He was found wandering the streets with no tags or microchip.
We believe he is about 1-2 years old.
He is moderately heartworm positive and will begin treatment shortly.
He has been neutered, microchipped and brought current on his vaccinations.
From Bongo's foster: Bongo came to PugHearts from a nice lady who rescued him and BeBe because they were following her through a local park.
Bongo is a great boy who is around a year old.
He is heartworm positive and will go through the treatment to get rid of the nasty heartworms.
He is full of personality and wrinkles.
He is housebroken (altho he had a few marking accidents when he first came to his fosters house..I think because they had another boy Pug, and he felt he needed to show his presence).
The marking ended after day 1.
Bongo's favorite activities are loving his humans, playing and being a handsome boy.
Bongo uses a doggy door and wold love to keep you warm on these cold fall nights.
Please consider adding Bongo to your family.
He has lots of love to give.
Blossom is a black female.
We estimate she is about 10 years old.
She is heartworm negative.
She has some dry eye and a little arthritis, but is SO HAPPY with everything!
Who could resist this face?
Sadly, Blossom passed away March 2012, just one year after finding her perfect forever home.
Her parents write: In March of 2011 we adopted Blossom and our lives were changed forever by that sweet little girl; it was one of the best years of our lives.
Blossom’s smile and amazing personality brought so much joy into our home.
Our cats got a more enhanced workout running from her, but they loved her despite the occasional chase.
She taught us that everyone deserves the best in life no matter if you are at the beginning of your journey or towards the end.
Blossom gave us an unforgettable year; such a small creature made an immeasurable impact in our lives.
Blossom enjoyed every day, she was always happy to see us and cuddle, she knew when meal time was and made it a laughable occasion every time with her endearing demanding bark while showing those tiny four little white bottom teeth.
She was like my best friend, we were rarely apart when I was home, and that feeling of unconditional love is something you cannot put a price on.
It seems that Blossom had that effect on everyone she met, and we just feel so blessed that she got to be part of our family this year.
Bianca is a fawn female.
She comes to us from a local animal control facility.
She is approximately 7 years old.
She is in good health except for having severe dry eye.
This has left her with diminished vision and she will require daily drops to keep her comfortable.
She is heartworm negative.
She has been spayed, microchipped and is current on her vaccinations.
From Bianca's foster: In spite of her diminished vision and hearing, Bianca has thrived since joining our home.
She gets around the yard and house amazingly well and has no problem using a doggy door.
She loves to cuddle, give sugars and chew on nubby bones.
She is fine around other dogs, but prefers to interact with humans.
Don’t overlook this little love hound!
Bruno is a 1 year old fawn male.
He is housetrained and knows how to use a doggy door.
He has plenty of energy for playing with toys and other dogs.
He gets along well with small children and enjoys sleeping in a people bed.
He loves to sit in your lap for plenty of petting and enjoys taking walks.
Bruno has been neutered, brought up to date on his vaccinations and has no known health issues.
Story coming soon
Billy Bob is a fawn male.
He comes to us from a local animal control facility.
We believe he is about 3 years old.
He is a very sick little boy right now, suffering from a severe case of pneumonia as well as being severely heartworm positive.
We will post updates as his situation evolves.
Update from Billy Bob's foster: Billy Bob is a young fawn male who has been neutered and brought current on his vaccinations.
He is heart worm positive and will be treated in a couple of months.
Billy Bob is a well behaved little man.
He knows how to sit and use the doggy door.
He gets along well with other dogs and children.
He was very sick when he was rescued, but now is feeling better and starting to play with toys and other members of our pack.
He likes to cuddle as well as play.
At times he seems to be talking to me with his soft woo, woo, woo.
He will make a good companion in a forever home with lots of love to give once he's over his heart worm treatment.
Bugsy is a black male.
He comes to us as an owner surrender.
He is 7 years old.
He is in good health; he is heartworm negative.
He has been neutered, microchipped and is current on his vaccinations.
From Bugsy's foster: Bugsy is one of the sweetest happiest pugs I have ever met!
He has a slight ‘under bite’, and when he gets tired the tip of his toung hangs straight out of his mouth!
He has clearly been a spoiled pet most of his life, and seems to have good house manners and is housetrained.
He gets along very well with dogs his own size, and with a little time has learned to get along with my larger dog.
Bugsy is a big cuddler, and would rather spend time in a persons lap then playing with other dogs.
Bugsy is ready for a family of his own that will love and appreciate this him for the sweet, happy pug he is!
Andrew is a fawn male.
He was found wandering the streets with no tags or microchip.
We believe he is about 4 years old.
It doesn't appear that anybody's been looking after him, as he has tested heartworm positive.
He also has severely impaired vision.
He will begin heartworm treatment soon.
Meanwhile, he has been neutered, microchipped and brought current on his vaccinations.
From Andrew's foster: Hi, My name is Andrew, and I am a 3-4 year old loving and playful boy.
I used to have heartworms, but they were treated and I’m all healthy.
I like to play dress-up, and even wore my Halloween costume two full days!
My eyes get dry very easily, so you have to give me drops and ointment twice a day to keep them from getting all gunky.
It is very easy to do, and I don’t mind it because it makes my eyes feel better.
Now that my eyes are kept wet, I can see dogs walking by on the street and make sure they know I’m at watch in the front window.
My foster Daddy says that I am only 16 pounds, but I think I am closer to 200 pounds.
When I am not running and playing chase, I need to find a lap or shoulder to snuggle on.
I love people very much, as well as my foster brothers and sisters.
If anyone (2 or 4 legged) gets up off the couch or bed, I have to follow to make sure I don’t miss anything.
This makes me a great leash-walker!
At bedtime, I love to tunnel under the covers in the big bed.
When it gets too hot, I come up and find a pillow to share.
I really don’t like kids because they scared me when I couldn’t see so good, and I still get very nervous around them.
My perfect forever home would not have any kids with high-pitched scary voices.
I even get scared of the kids I hear on the TV.
I would prefer not to be an only dog, because it helps me to have someone to follow around the house.
I promise to always give you lots of love and kisses, and be there for you in the good times and the bad times.
Would you please give me the forever home that I deserve?
Story coming soon
Buckley is a 3 year old fawn male who was picked up as a stray by a local animal control.
He must have had a family at one time since he has been neutered.
His skin is in appalling condition and he is low heartworm positive.
He’s a little guy, just under 15 lbs, with a great face and a snuggly disposition.
Sitting on my lap in the car even distracted him from his itchy skin.
From Buckley (with a little help from his foster Mom): Hi, my name is Buckley and I'm a 3 year old fawn male.
I might be little, but that doesn't stop me from playing tug of war with the big boys.
I am house trained and know how to use a doggy door.
I love to cuddle with my foster or the other dogs in her pack.
My skin is still a little itchy but most of my hair has grown back.
I like to sleep in the big bed, but I can also use a crate.
I am neutered, micro chipped and current on all my shots.
It makes me sad that I'm heartworm positive and am having to wait to be treated.
I like children and other dogs.
My foster call me her sweet little boy.
I am looking for my forever home and family.
Will it be you?
Beau is a fawn male.
He is 7 years old and is an owner surrender.
He is in good health; he is heartworm negative.
He is current on his vaccinations, neutered and microchipped.
From Beau's foster: This sweet little man is Beau.
He is a fawn male, about 7 years old, and is an owner surrender.
He is in good health, heartworm negative, current on his vaccinations, neutered and microchipped.
Beau came to us when his elderly owner sadly passed away.
He is delightfully sweet and extremely adorable as you can see from his pictures.
Beau gets along great with kids, other dogs, and isn’t too worried about the cat laying about the house.
He only gets upset with the other dogs in the house when they are chewing on something he wants, so he’ll stand there and barks at them, but he will get a little growly and upset if one of the dogs gets to close while he is enjoying a nice deer antler or beef tendon.
I just make sure everyone has something to occupy themselves with so there are no unhappy pups.
Beau loves to snuggle up next to you on the couch or bed.
He doesn’t have to be on top of you, but he will happily keep your leg warm.
He is a great companion.
He will follow you wherever you go in the house, he doesn’t try to go out the front door when you open it, and he learns your habits quickly.
As soon as I lean down to put on his harness, he stands up for me on his back legs and offers his front paws.
He also does this when you lean down to pick him up.
Such a cutie!
When I come home from work he runs over and sits down until I get everything put away.
Then he’s ready for his hello scratches and kisses.
Part of Beau’s adorable charm is his little tongue that sticks out on the side at all times.
Pug kisses are awesome, but sideways kisses from Beau are the BEST!
He is a very laid back boy who just wants to hang out with the family.
He is house trained and knows how to use a dogie door, though he can be a little lazy about using it sometimes.
When you tell him “crate” he walks in a circle around the living room before going in, but I’ve found if you have a treat ready for him he’ll spin a couple of times and run right in.
He does not have to be kenneled, as he’s past the phase of chewing things he shouldn’t and doesn’t have an issue with marking or having accidents in the house.
Beau would make a great addition to any family looking for a low energy lovable pug.
Barney is a fawn male.
He is 4 years old and an owner surrender.
He is in good health; he is heartworm negative.
He has been neutered.
From Barney's Mom: Barney is an intense little fellow with vivacious curiosity and expressive personality.
His energy and gusto bring to mind John Travolta on the dance floor in Saturday Night Fever.
He has a lot of spunk and adds random excitement to my house.
There's a lot to love about Barney, he is conversational and actually attempts to answer questions when asked and offer constructive criticism (when not asked).
He gets a funny look in his eye when he's formulating his response, his mouth forms an "O' and the answer is delivered with absolute conviction.
He is a beautiful boy with a super soft coat and deep wrinkles on his forehead.
He is heart worm negative, neutered, and healthy.
He also appears to be allergy-free, which is a rare gift for pugs.
His only medical problem is that his hip causes him a little discomfort, he will have to take pain medications for the rest of his life.
He is mostly potty-trained and has marking tendencies which we are working on.
Once his manners are in place, he will be quite the super-star pug.
Betty was such a sweet, adorable little girl.
Her eyes would melt your heart and her personality made it impossible for you not to love her immediately.
She always had this cute smile on her face every time you would look at her.
She was so affectionate and loved to snuggle up and give you hugs and kisses.
To make you laugh and get your attention she would jump on her back legs and howl at you.
SHE WAS A CHARACTER!
Betty crossed the rainbow bridge on May 19, 2012.
Even though we only had her for a short time we were blessed to have her part of our family.
We love you, miss you, and will never forget you Betty… Until we meet again, Debra
Bexar (pronounced Bear) was the most pitiful looking pug that I had seen in quite some time, and I couldn’t even hold him….I don’t mess with Sarcoptic Mange.
But it was love at first sight when our eyes met and I knew he was going to be a Heart Pug (he will steal a little part of my heart when he leaves).
When he received his last shot I gathered him up and away we went to Katy.
Bexar has proven to be one of the sweetest, most loving fosters.
He has some vision issues but his face is near the top of the cutest I have ever seen.
He LOVES to be held and cuddled.
His hair is really growing in quickly but when he first came home he felt like suede when I touched him.
He just lays back in my arms with his head on my shoulder and cuddles, and he will sneak in a kiss here and there.
I was really surprised to discover that he is housetrained.
He hasn’t had one accident since he came in the door!
Over the last week he has started to interact with the other fosters and I am trying convince him that barking and playing don’t have to be done together.
He just gets so excited when he’s playing with Raisin that he loses control of his barker (and so does Raisin).
He’s really smart and he seems to be catching on pretty fast.
As I said he has some vision issues and will require eye drops to keep his eyes moist.
He isn’t blind but he has some pigmentation on his eyes so he doesn’t see crystal clear, he doesn’t have any issues getting around and never runs into anything.
He also has heartworms and will require treatment when the medication is available again.
I can’t begin to express what a wonderful pug Bexar is!
However he doesn’t answer to Bexar, he comes to Mama’s Beautiful Baby Bexar.
I do love this little guy and anyone that meets him will lose their heart just like I did.
He’s awesome and will make someone’s life perfect!!
!
Buster is a big softy.
He is about 2-3 years old, heartworm negative and a real love.
Buster loves to play with the other active pugs here.
He came to us in good condition and with great house manners.
Buster would love a home where he can play with other dogs and then rest and cuddle with his people on the couch.
He loves stuffed toys and will carry them around with him.
Buster is a bigger pug and would do well playing with large or small dogs.
He is quite active and will need a way to get his energy release daily.
If you are looking for a sweet young, active pug…Buster is waiting for you.
3-4 y/o black male
Athena is a young fawn female who was found running down the street by a good Samaritan who caught her and called us.
She is beautiful, a little shy of people, but LOVES playing with other dogs and toys.
She hasn’t stopped chasing or being chased for at least 2 hours!
Lots of puppy energy.
Meet Anthony!
He is a 4 year old fawn male.
Anhtony appears to have not been well taken care, and came to PugHearts with a variety of ailments.
With some TLC he has blossomed into a lovely pet, and the only effect of his whole ordeal is dry eyes—which are easily managed with daily drops.
Anthony is quite the character, and is extremely people oriented.
He enjoys the company of other dogs (large, small, male or female), but he prefers to shower his affection on people!
He is also very playful, and with the right squeaky toy will entertain himself for hours!
We are working on reinforcing potty training and his forever family will most likely need to continue this reinforcement.
Anthony is crate trained, and is comfortable being crated by himself or with other dogs.
You will be hard pressed to find another guy as sweet and attentive as Anthony!
Alice is a fawn female.
She comes to us from a local kill shelter.
We believe she is about 5 or 6 years old.
She is heartworm positive.
She is a very tiny girl - only weighs 11 lbs - but is very big on attitude!
From Alice's foster: Alice is beyond adorable!
She is an extremely tiny pug and that face…… there just aren’t words to adequately describe it.
I’m not sure why, because she seems to have all her teeth, but her tongue hangs out all the time.
She looks like she’s sticking it out at you because it doesn’t fall to either side of her mouth.
Evidently she was pretty feisty at the clinic but since she has come home she has turned into a loving, sweet girl.
She is too small to jump on the couch (at least she thinks she is – I think she could do it) so she just paws at me until I pick her up.
Then it’s cuddle time until I have to get up for some reason.
She also seems to be housetrained.
She has slept with me every night since she arrived and seems to think that’s where she should be.
She seems to get along quite well with the other fosters.
She has told Howie more than once to back off, but let me tell you he deserves it sometimes.
Even for a pug, Alice is quite obsessed with food.
She isn’t overly skinny so I’m not sure why but she gets a little crazed if she thinks there’s food anywhere that is accessible.
I think when she leans that food will always be available she may get better.
She’s not overly playful either, she will play with me sometimes but she very seldom plays with the others.
She sits on my lap with her ears perked up watching them but doesn’t jump down to get involved.
If a sweet, loving, gently little lady is what you are looking for, she’s your girl!
Alice is the perfect size to fit right in your heart!
It is with deep sadness that I post this news...my beautiful girl Belle will be crossing the Rainbow Bridge to be with Blossom and Clint this afternoon.
We are waiting so her momma Tracee Mireles can be there to say goodbye.
Her health has been in a steady decline for the past year (she has been loosing the use of her back legs).
Today I found out that her bladder is full of stones again.
I love her too much to even consider surgery, so today my little angel gets her wings.
Quality not quantity is what I always tell my babies.
It hurts so bad, but I love her enough to let her go.
She enjoyed a hamburger, time with Momma Karen and a nap with her brothers while we wait.
Thank you Pughearts for bringing this beautiful girl into my life.
I will miss you Belle.
Until we meet again...
Biggio (aka Biggie) is a wonderful boy.
He spends his day as close to me as possible.
The moment I sit down, he is on the couch next to me or under my feet at the table.
He sleeps in a bed next to me at night.
I give him an occasional opportunity to nap in the bed with me & he’s in heaven.
He isn’t too excited about being in a crate so we leave him out at night.
He was hesitant at first but uses the doggie door with no problems now.
He does pull on his leash when walking but that’s mainly because he is excited about smelling everything around him.
He keeps up with everyone when we go for family walks.
He gets along great with our Shepherd/Lab mix and dominant female Pug.
He is very much a guard dog.
He lets everyone who walks by the front window know he’s there & this is his house.
It’s quite a bit noisy when all 3 get going.
He is very gentle with our 2 year old son.
We are still working to teach J to be gentle with dogs and Biggie will let J hug and pull on him.
He has never growled or snapped at J.
He is being treated for Heartworms and will be ready for his forever home at the end of March.
I have been blessed having him with us & will miss him when he’s gone.
Bixby is a fawn male.
He is 4 years old.
He is in good health; he is heartworm negative.
He is neutered, microchipped and current on his vaccinations.
From Bixby's foster: This is Bixby.
He is a 4 year old little boy that that needs a forever home.
He enjoys hanging out with daddy in the shop doing boy things and as seen in this picture he is waiting for his foster mommy to open the door to the car.
He loves going for a ride.
Bixby is the best companion.
He chills with you when you're tired, plays with the kids and literally becomes your little shadow around the house.
He is very intelligent and already house trained.
(In awards show season, this bio is written in Bess's voice as she accepts her well-deserved reward.)
Oh, WOW, thank you so much PugHearts and all my fans!
It was an honor to be rescued, and I'm so grateful to have won.
I wish I had time to tell you my whole story, but believe me, I worked hard for this beautiful silver face and these silver paws.
I could go on and on into detail about the missing eye and the big patch of hairless scar tissue on my back and the tatoo.
Suffice to say, I survived all of that and I'm focused on my good life now!
I want to thank all the wonderful people who helped me get to where I am today.
Okay, the music is playing, so I guess I have to get off the stage...
But first, this is for Cindy, who recognized that I needed to get sprung from Alvin Animal Control; and for Carolyn, who made me know how comfortable life could be under the covers with people who care for me; and for Cleo and Julius who let me join their pack; and for the people who adopted me and kiss me every day and call me "gurlfrend" and make sure I get my dinner and heartworm meds...
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I love you all!!!

This 9-month old boy was surrendered by his owners at a local shelter who released him to us because he has luxating patellas.
He’s heartworm negative, has a luxuriant coat, and a classic “cobby” build.
He’s only 15 lbs now, but will probably grow some more.
Bad knees don’t seem to slow down his puppy energy at all!
Story coming soon
Ajax is a good-looking one-year old black male rescued from a local kill shelter.
He has some scrapes on his face & head and a bit of a runny nose, but he is heartworm negative, and otherwise appears healthy.
He will need to be neutered.
He is probably crate-trained, since he took care of what had to be several days’ worth of “business” as soon as he hit the grass!.
He was quite calm for a young dog while riding in the car, and we will know more about him after he is examined by our vet.
Arizona is a fawn female.
She comes to us from a local shelter.
We believe she is about 6 years old.
From Arizona's foster: Arizona is just the sweetest thing!
She's incredibly adorable and you can't help but just want to hold and pet her incredibly soft fur and give her big hugs and love on her because she is just soooo loveable!
She is a laid back girlie, house and crate trained.
She chills in her crate when I'm gone, sleeps on the doggie bed or on the couch when I'm home and sleeps on the other side of the bed on the pillow at night.
She is a special needs little girl who will have a special diet for the rest of her life due to kidney issues and is currently on antibiotics due to an infection and will need to continue these medications possibly for months until the infection is gone.
Though this may sound like a lot, she really is a low maintenance little girl, she just has a some special needs, but she is well worth it.
Whoever adopts her will be incredibly lucky.
Bazooka is a fawn male.
He comes to us from a hoarder seizure situation from out of state.
He is somewhere between 6 to 8 months old.
From Bazooka's foster: Bazooka is one of the Kandy Kids from OKC.
He’s quite the cute little guy.
He’s about the same age as the girls but he’s quite a bit larger than they are.
He’s going to be a very manly pug.
He’s absolutely beautiful.
Bazooka is very active and rarely settles down for more than a few minutes.
Then he’s off again.
He and his counterpart (Goober) are chewers and I have to watch them like a hawk because they seem to have a great liking for cords.
I’ve taped everything down that I can but if there’s one available they are all over it.
Luckily I have wrought iron tables because they have been caught chewing on them also.
Bazooka will take a lot of time and attention to keep him safe and to train him in the ways of what is proper behavior.
He is very social and loves to be around me, he just isn’t always aware of how to act.
The water bottle is a very handy tool.
I’m not impressed with his potty habits, either.
When I first got him he would run straight out the door and pee on the closest tree, he still does that but he also pees on things in the house now.
In fairness to Bazooka, I do have a lot of dogs and sometimes that is the reason they misbehave.
Sometimes when they go to their new home they magically stop.
Bazooka is a really sweet guy.
He will be a great pet for someone that wants to have an active dog that interacts with them.
As with all puppies, he will take some dedicated attention to behavior issues.
In a few months his new family will read this bio and wonder what dog I was talking about!
Arthur is a fawn male.
He has been neutered, microchipped and is current on his vaccinations.
He has had his left eye recently removed and is recovery very well.
From Arthur's foster: Arthur made an excellent debut at the Pet Expo.
His personality is coming out now that he’s safe and feeling better after his eye removal surgery.
The lack of one eye hasn’t stopped him at all.
I suspect that he wasn’t able to see out of the bad eye for a while so his adjustment hasn’t been difficult.
He is such a loving boy.
He’s starting to “talk” more around here so it can get kinda noisy when everyone gets going.
He’s always at my feet and I have tripped over/stepped on him a few times because I didn’t see him.
He lays on the tile splayed out with all 4 legs in different directions.
It’s really cute.
He sleeps in the doggie bed on the floor next to me or under our bed.
He’s not a jump-on-the-furniture guy, which my husband really appreciates.
He will play & cuddle on the floor.
My 2 year old son really loves Arthur.
His idea of feeding time is to take the kibbles and instead of giving them to Arthur, he tosses them all over the floor.
Arthur then looks like a vacuum cleaner going after all of the kibbles.
He gets along really well with our other dogs and is very gentle with my son.
He is going to be a great little companion for someone.
I am enjoying getting to know him and helping him get ready for his forever home.
Foster Beignet (aka Benny) is 7-8 yrs young, HW-, UTD on vaccinations, and neutered.
Benny is house broken and crate trained.
He loves playing with toys, getting belly rubs, sleeping on laps, sleeping in the human bed, (I think you get the idea...he loves being with his humans).
He is very well behaved, comes when called (although he probably isn't too far away), and enjoys taking baths.
Although Benny is blind, (and please don't tell him he is, as it might hurt his feelings!
), he has no challenges with maneuvering and mapping out his area.
Benny mastered the doggie door in under 30 minutes, AND mapped out his new foster home in approximately 2 hours.
If other pets step on or bump into Benny when he is sleeping or preoccupied, he may become startled (and possibly snap).
For this reason, I would not recommend a home with children should an incident of this nature occur.
This is for his safety, as well as that of a child.
He has shown absolutely NO aggression towards a human (adult or child).
Benny would love being an only child anyway, as he just can't get enough of his human.
Benny is an amazing little man you would be so lucky to have!
He is looking for his forever home, could it be you?
If so, please ask for Beignet on your adoption application.
Benny says "Thanks for considering me!"
Hey everyone my name is Buddy.
I'm two year old fawn Pug.
I was living in the streets for a little while.
I bounced around from home to home until I was turning into Pug Hearts.
Speaking of hearts, I am heartworm positive but i'm being treated now and should be a healty Pug in no time.
The heart worms aren't slowing me down at all.
I'm living with fosters now and the best thing about that is I have two pug friends to play with.
We get along great!
It would be nice if I could go to a home with other Pugs or Pug friends.
My fosters are teaching me to walk on leash.
I like going on walks because I'm a young energetic Pug.
I might not be good in a home with small children, as I get really excited and nip a little.
But don't let that scare you away from little old Buddy.
I'm a good Pug, I'm house trained and when I'm not playing with my new friends I'm snuggled up with my fosters or even in my crate.
I love toys and even play tug of war with my friends.
As any Pug I enjoy a good nap and I can get a little loud with my snoring.
But thats what makes me Buddy!
Can I be your Buddy?
Bronco is a fawn male.
He comes to us afrom a local shelter.
We believe he is about 2 or 3 years old.
He is mild heartworm positive and will begin treatment shortly.
He has been neutered, microchipped and brought current on his vaccinations.
Update from Bronco's foster: Bronco is about the sweetest little guy I’ve met!
He has the saddest eyes in which he uses freely to get extra love and attention!
He is such a good boy –he’s housebroken & well mannered.
He’s the perfect combination of playful and snuggly.
He gets along great with our other foster dogs.
Although he doesn’t live with children, when I’ve seen him around them, he’s kind and gentle.
He would make a wonderful addition to any family!
You have to meet this guy!
Bronson is quite a handsome little gentleman.
He is a beautiful black boy and looks to be about 3ish.
He’s not a very big boy and is about 12 -14 pounds.
He was part of a hoarding situation and is a little timid and shy at the moment.
However, I have no doubt that within a week he will be your typical crazy, over the top pug.
I’ve only had him a few days and I know that all he needs is some time to adjust to his new circumstances.
Pugs are pretty smart little creatures and they seem to adjust amazingly fast to the good life.
Bronson is a very well behaved little guy.
He loves to have me hold him or to lay close to me.
He isn’t scared of the other pugs he just wants to be close to his human.
He is doing great with his potty training.
I haven’t caught him going in the house once since he came.
I think Bronson will make a great family pet.
He just wants to be loved and have attention.
He is ready to find his forever family .
Meet Boudin, or as I call him, Boo Boo!
Boudin is a 10 year old neutered male from Cajun country.
He is HW negative, has a beautiful, soft smutty coat, and is a gentle soul.
He has a slight and charming underbite that I love.
He has chronic dry eyes and will require eye drops 3x daily for the rest of his life.
He is blind, but within one week, he could navigate our first floor, jump on and off the sofa, and could go up and down the stairs to go outside.
He fit in immediately with our four Pugs from day one.
Boo loves to snuggle next to you, and he is learning how to play with toys.
He also knows how to sit and shake, and sometimes howls when doing so!
He has only marked once since he joined our pack about 2 weeks ago.
At night he sleeps in our kitchen, and is happy there.
I cannot say enough good things about this charming gentleman.
He will be a loving companion as a single dog, or with doggie siblings.
Boudin needs his forever home where he can be worshipped and adored, and give Puggy snuggles and kisses.
Brogan is a fawn male.
He was heartworm positive and has received treatment.
He was neutered and had had a dental done.
He comes to us from a rural animal shelter and is looking forward to the good life.
From Brogan's foster: Brogan sits inside the front window and serves as sentry.
He alerts us to every car or person that passes by, every cat, dog or squirrel that has the audacity to cross our lawn.
He is a little afraid of rain and thunder, wanting to be in your lap during a storm.
You cannot describe Brogan without mentioning his singing skills.
Songs are performed when he can scoot back & forth under the coffee table using the underside to scratch his sweet spot!
His soulful eyes make him the best companion for those moments of consternation or lament.
He loves nothing more than being there for you.
Right next to you, with his head and front paws resting on your arm, leg, shoulder….
Bernard is a super sweet little guy.
He’s an older gentleman (9-11 yrs.
old) so he’s very relaxed and a low energy dog.
He just wants to be with you, he’ll follow you from room to room.
He’s great around other dogs and kids of all ages.
We call him a pocket Pug because of his small size.
While he’s fine with men, he does seem to prefer the company of women.
He’s house broken but needs to be let out several times a day.
He does need help getting up on the couch and bed (due to his small size).
Bernard is perfect for someone looking for a couch companion, someone to cuddle with and enjoy his remaining years.
Bambi is a fawn female and is about 3 years old.
She was found wandering the streets with Thumper.
She was initially shy when we first met but within 5 minutes was trying her best to lick my face.
One of her sweetest features became evident on the car ride home from the vet – she has a beautiful singing voice!
From all I can tell, she actually enjoys car rides but also occasionally makes a sweet mewing noise – probably because she’s excited to see a new place.
Her favorite spot is wherever I am – preferably in my lap.
Once she got a regular eating / walking schedule I had no issues with accidents in the house.
Nor have I had any issues with chewing, etc.
She is very energetic & loves jumping from couch to coffee table to loveseat and back.
Bambi is heartworm negative and is a healthy petite pug.
She does have a slightly malformed right eye and requires only a daily eyedrop and ointment.
Bambi and Thumper are a bonded pair, so they need to stay together.
The two are inseparable and love to play / sleep / walk together.
Apollo is a fawn male.
He is heartworm positive and will begin treatment shortly.
He has been neutered, microchipped and is current on his vaccinations.
From Apollo's foster: Apollo is such an adorable little boy.
He came to me scared and antisocial.
When I would approach him his reaction would be that he thought I might try to hurt him.
I was so sad for him.
He is now starting to open up and his youthful personality is coming out, a playful little boy who just wants love and attention.
He has just started to cuddle, I think he's going to be a very big cuddler when he settles in with everyone completely, he loves to wrestle with any pup that is willing or with me, he's really a happy, wanting attention kinda boy.
His potty training is coming along nicely, he is starting to use the dog door on his own.
When I'm away he is crate trained.
Apollo does have heartworm so he'll be ready for his forever home as soon as treatment is over.
He's truly an adorable little guy that will fill a lucky household with love.
Adrianna is a 2-3 year old black female Pug who comes to us as a stray with no tags or chip.
She is heart worm negative and has no health issues.
Andriana is housebroken, crate trailed, rides in the car well and a very sweet little girl.
She gets along well with both large and small dogs, cats and humans.
She loves to snuggle on the couch with her foster mom's 5 year old.
Adrianna has had many litters of puppies in the past but is now spayed.
From Adrianna's foster: I can't say enough about this sweet little girl!
She is very well behaved and loves to snuggle up.
Crate training has been a breeze and she has not had on single accident in the house.
She is going to make someone a wonderful companion.
Please consider Adrianna for your family.
Bart is a black male.
He is 3 years old.
He is heartworm positive and will undergo treatment shortly.
He has been neutered, microchipped and is current on his vaccinations.
From Bart's foster: Bart is a very nice young man.
He’s only a few years old and is really quite a well behaved guy.
He will be a larger pug once he gains weight.
I’ve had him for a few months and he’s not gaining very quickly.
But he has heartworms so he won’t gain much until his is treated.
He should be on schedule to be adopted around the end of November.
Bart is pretty quiet (unless the dog next door starts barking when he’s outside ?).
He had a little trouble with his house manners when he first arrived but that has been fixed and he’s quite the good house companion now.
He is a lap pug, he will crawl on my lap and just go limp with pleasure.
Right now he is in a cone of shame, he has a hot spot on his back that he just won’t leave alone.
Every time it heals up and I take the collar off he goes after it again, so it seems he is stubborn too.
He is quite a good pug and will really do well in a home that has plenty of love to share.
He is a little playful now and when he feels better after his treatment I anticipate he will be quite playful.
He will make a great family dog.
Brice is a fawn male.
He is about 2 years old.
He is an owner surrender through no fault of his own.
He is in good health except for some skin issues and dry eye.
He is heartworm negative.
He has been neutered, microchipped and is current on his vaccinations.
From Brice's foster: Brice is a really sweet boy.
He loves to play & can be a little mischievous.
He loves food and will get it wherever he can.
That includes the pantry & jumping on the tables.
He is a more active Puggie than most.
Yet, still likes to cuddle when he's worn out.
He gets along well with my other dogs and loves my toddler (almost too much sometimes).
He sleeps in his crate with no problems.
He has learned how to use the doggie door and hasn't had any accidents indoors for a while.
He gets eye drops daily but doesn't always like them.
He will sit for them when he knows a treat follows.
He loves toys and has a special stuffed duck that pretty much goes everywhere he does.
He will do well in a house with some activity and other dogs.
Beauty is a 2 year old black female who was turned into a local kill shelter as a stray.
She has some dermatitis around her ears and neck, and could stand to gain a pound or two but appears to be in good health otherwise.
She is full of energy, and has a vast array of whines, whimpers, and other “talking” sounds.
She is quite affectionate.
Look at that face: isn’t it obvious why we named her Beauty?
Arlo is a black male.
He is 8 years old.
He is heartworm negative, neutered and current on his vaccinations.
From Arlo's foster: Arlo is a sweet and gentle soul who just adores attention.
He is heartworm negative and about 8 to 9 years old.
He loves to sleep next to you on the couch or bed, and follows you through the house.
He does okay on stairs but I tell him to slow down and he does.
He talks and screams if you are not paying attention to him, but the attention he needs is minimal.
He often just wants to be up with you.
Arlo defines couch potato pug, but I wouldn’t expect less from an older gent who is happy to be indoors.
He has learned to use a doggy door which has solved his problem with house breaking.
He loves going out the door and though he doesn't see that well any more he will find the door and go in and out all day long.
He does need to go out frequently and does have some kidney issues but does not require meds.
He does have a collapsing treacha and does require meds twice a day.
Anastasia is a black female.
She is 6 years old and an owner surrender due to bladder stones.
She has had them removed and is recovering very well.
She has also been spayed.
She is current on her vaccinations and has been microchipped.
She is heartworm negative.
From Anastasia (with some help from her foster mom): Hi, my name is Anastasia, and you are going to love me!!
I’m a sleek, black beauty, and love everyone I meet.
When I get excited I have a big smile on my face, and I’ll even start talking sometimes.
I talked the whole way home from the vet when my foster mom got me.
I live with 3 other pugs and have an occasional visit with a cavalier spaniel puppy.
I love that puppy!!
We chase each other around the house and have all kinds of fun.
I love to sit in the yard when the weather is nice and not too hot, and so does my puppy friend.
I’m fine on my own if you want me to be your only dog, but I bet you end up with another one because I’m just too cute!
I sleep in a crate at night, and I’m pretty good about settling down once the lights are out.
I’m sure I would love sleeping snuggled up next to you though!
Now for the part that makes me a special pug.
I came into rescue because I had some bladder stones that needed to be removed.
The wonderful people at the rescue made sure I had the surgery I needed to remove them, and I feel so much better now.
The only thing you have to worry about is giving me a special food so the stones don’t come back.
The vet sells it, and it doesn’t cost any more than one of the premium foods like Blue Buffalo or Wellness.
So, that’s my story.
I have lots of love ready for my new family, and I can’t wait to meet you!
Baby G is a black male.
He comes to us from a surrender of 6 pugs.
He is in excellent health.
He has been neutered, microchipped and is current on his vaccinations.
From Baby G's foster: Baby G is aptly named, he is a baby.
He loves to cuddle and that is the extent of his activity.
He sits on my lap as long as I will let him and lays back in my arms like a baby.
In fact, if I’m not holding him the way he likes he will just flop on his back in my arms and fully expect me to catch him.
He’s about the same size as a baby and sometimes it really feels like I’m holding one.
He’s just too sweet for words!
His physical beauty is unsurpassed!
He is absolutely gorgeous, there isn’t a picture that has been taken of him that truly shows how beautiful he really is.
He is coal black with no white to be seen.
He’s a compact little guy with a stocky body and legs.
His face is perfect, with just the right amount of wrinkles and bright, coal black, shinny eyes.
There isn’t a single thing wrong with Baby G, he’s ready to go and find his perfect family.
He was one of six pugs that came in at once and they were living in a house without human companionship except for feeding times.
He is really very not assertive and would not do well with a fur sibling that is dominant.
I believe he would like children that are more calm and not boisterous or physical.
He’s a quiet little guy and just needs to be loved.
It will take just one look from those eyes and you will be lost forever!
!
Brad is a fawn male.
He is 3 years old.
He is in good health; he is heartworm negative.
He has been neutered, microchipped and is current on his vaccinations.
From Brad's foster: Brad is a 3 yr old fawn male.
Brad is not your typical pug.
He is somewhat bigger than most other pugs with larger, floppier ears.
He is also almost a red color.
We think there may have been a puggle in the family tree somewhere.
His attitude is all pug however.
His energy level is about medium, he likes to play and loves chewy toys.
He also LOVES to run and runs faster than any pug I have ever seen.
He needs long walks and lots of exercise.
He is not too crazy though, sometimes he just prefers sleeping all day in his bed next to his foster brother getting belly rubs.
He also gets along well with my older cat.
He is going to make someone a wonderful companion.
Albert is a fawn male.
He is about 2 years old.
He is heartworm positive and has begun treatment.
He has been neutered, microchipped and is current on his vaccinations.
From Albert's foster: Albert is one of the sweetest pugs that I've ever fostered.
He is young and playful (he's not super playful and he's not hyper at all), but also the biggest cuddler, he loves to cuddle with people or other dogs, he is not picky about who he cuddles with, he just loves to do it.
He is trained to use the dog door.
Of course he likes to sleep cuddled up by my side in bed.
He does have some food protection issues so I feed him in a crate to avoid any problems.
Once Albert finishes his heartworm treatment, he'll make someone's home happier.
Brutus is a black male.
He is 7 years old and an owner surrender.
He is in excellent health; he is heartworm negative.
He has been neutered and is current on his vaccinations.
From Brutus' foster: Don't let his big frame scare you away, this is one sweet dog!
He fits into our home with our pug great.
He's gotten along with every person, child, and animal that he has met.
He is a big boy and we are working on getting some pounds off of him.
It helps that he LOVES squeaky toys and jumps up to play every time he hears one.
He also loves his walks.
He is potty trained.
He isn't very interested in his food and would rather be fed carrots and frozen green beans.
He loves to snuggle and would love to snuggle up to you!
Ariel is a fawn female.
She was thrown out of a car onto the beltway in her crate.
A good samaritan rescued her and brought her to us for medical treatment.
Though she did not suffer any broken bones, she is suffering from some neurological issues.
Blaine is a fawn male, about 7-8 years old and was recently sprung from a local animal control facility!
Blaine is lucky that he is heartworm free.
He is being brought current on his vaccinations and is being treated for flea allergies.
He likes to carry around his bed and is learning to play with the other fosters.
He has a little bit of food aggression but that is probably from living on the streets and is getting better.
He has a very cute little face, sometimes smiling to show off his little teeth.
He sleeps in a kennel right now at night until he learns my schedule.
He stays out in the kitchen with the other boys when I’m gone during the day and doesn’t seem to get into trouble.
I think he would be happy to be the only pug but he does get along with my others.
He is a talker and tells you all about his day when you get home.
Come and meet this little fellow and see if he picks you to go home with!
Boss is an adorable young male pug.
It is obvious he lived most of his young life outside because he has absolutely no house training.
He is learning to go outside and he currently sleeps in the kitchen with two other foster boys.
He is heartworm negative, neutered and getting current on his shots.
Boss has never been on a leash and that will be the next lesson for him.
He is a sweet melt in your lap pug baby, a little Bossy around the other boys, thus his name, but will make someone a wonderful companion.
Update 05/06/13 from Boss' foster: Boss is still adorable and is a favorite at the PugHearts events.
He has been at my house since Valentine’s Day this year, almost 3 months.
He is now about 90 percent house-trained!
He sleeps on my bed, and hasn’t marked it for several weeks.
The only accident he has is piddling in Mr. Furley’s bed every once in a while.
(I think he does it for fun.)
He walks pretty well on a leash now.
He loves to snuggle in your lap, placing his little paws and head right on your heart.
He is fairly independent and plays with the other guys at the house.
He is not a destructive puppy; doesn’t chew furniture or scratch walls.
He was evaluated for possible injury and may have a some neurological deficit, but the only effect it seems to have is that he is more laid back than most young pugs.
Other than that he is perfectly healthy and awesome!
Bubba is an energetic 4 year old male.
He loves to play, gets along well with kids as well as other dogs and cats.
He loves to play with our cat but really doesn't bother with other dogs.
He is just not interested.
He goes into his crate on command but sleeps with his foster parents.
He is house trained unless you don't take him outside when he needs to go.
He stands by the door to signal he wants to go out.
Bubba has some anxiety about new places and change but he is learning to adapt well.
He does not like to go outside in the backyard by himself.
He has a fear that you are going to leave him outside.
This fear comes from being left outside by his former owner.
Bubba loves to be close to his foster and will follow you around the house until you decide to sit down and let him sit on your lap.
Bubba will make a fantastic family dog but does need to be with a family that can spend a lot of time with him.
Brick is a 6-7 year old male.
He was left tied to a tree in a strangers yard.
He is heartworm negative and already neutered.
This gorgeous boy has wrinkles on top of wrinkles.
Brick is dealing with some separation anxiety and would prefer a home where he gets LOTS of attention.
He ADORES kids and will tolerate being dressed up and (recently) wearing bunny ears.
If you are looking for a big squishy boy to cuddle....Brick is your guy.
Bombay is a fawn female.
She has been microchipped and is current on her vaccinations.
From Bombay's foster: When I first saw Bombay at the Clinic I thought she was an old, sick girl.
I picked her up and she was skin and bones and shaking.
I wanted to foster her to give her a chance to be happy and safe.
Well, let me tell you was I mistaken!
First of all she’s not old and she’s not sick, she’s just skinny.
When I brought her home it was like someone flipped a switch and she was this little pug that struts around like royalty.
She has excellent posture and her head is always up and her ears are always perked.
She is alert to everything going on around her and she doesn’t miss one little thing.
I adore her!
She loves to sit on the arm of the couch next to me and supervise the activity of everyone else.
She is a very well behaved young lady.
She does bark if she sees something (squirrel) in the back yard.
She is housetrained and is quite happy to go in her crate when I leave.
She isn’t a typical pug in the eating department, I guess that’s why she’s so skinny.
I keep food accessible to her all day and she never eats it all.
Hopefully her appetite will pick up.
She can’t be spayed until she gains some weight.
She also has dry eye, but that is just daily drops in her eyes.
Bombay is a very social girl and enjoys going to the events and seeing everyone.
She will be a wonderful companion for someone.
She is quite sweet and loves to be around her human.
Aria is an owner surrender due to no fault of her own.
She is a friendly, happy girl who is 20 months old (2 yrs.
old in August).
We are working on housebreaking.
She is kennel trained, although she likes to sleep in a bed with someone.
She uses a doggie door.
She will hold her own with the other pugs but doesn't show "alpha" symptoms.
She is affectionate and likes to be in your lap.
She is fairly small and weighs 18 lbs.
Brooks is a 2 year old male and is heartworm negative.
He is very bonded with his brother Kicks and will be adopted as a pair.
From Brooks' foster: We call them twins because they look so much a like in the face and whatever they are doing they are doing it together.
They watch over each other almost exclusively.
I do not think that they got a lot of love before.
Which breaks my heart because who would not want to love on this very special boy.
They get startled easy but we are working on that.
When I would sweep with a broom, it would cause him to jump and run.
With slow movements and an introduction to the broom the jumpiness is slowly subsiding.
Brooks also still flinches when you first go to touch him but I hope with time that will also subside.
He is really starting to come out of his shell.
Brooks has the most adorable tongue that sticks out and you just want to touch it.
He is the calmer of the two and is often torn between following me or his brother.
He loves to rest his head on Kicks and clean his face.
Brooks does this really cute thing with his front feet when he is standing on his back legs.
It is hard to describe so you will have to just see it in person!
My husband taught Brooks to give high fives and his paw fits perfect in the palm of your hand and if you are lucky he will follow it with a kiss.
Brooks loves to play rough with his brother and the best part is they tire each other out.
He is house trained and has not marked in the house since the 3rd day I got him.
He is crate trained and is learning to walk on a leash.
We are working on house manners now and he is coming along beautifully.
Please consider letting Brooks and Kicks into your heart.
Bebe is a tiny 5 year old smutty/silver fawn female found living on the streets in the 5th Ward of Houston covered in fleas.
At 10 lbs, she’s seriously underweight, and needs to put on at least 4 lbs before she can be spayed.
Miraculously, she is heartworm negative.
She has been microchipped, vaccinated, had a badly needed nail trim, and is now in foster care getting lots of love and groceries.
Becca is a fawn female.
She comes to us from a local animal control facility.
From Becca's foster: Becca is just a doll ... She is approximately 6-7 years old and is one of the most easy going pugs who prefers to spend most of her time sleeping and then snoozing some more.
After a nap, she might stroll up to one of the other pugs and do a little dance to see if she can get someone to play [it only lasts a few minutes] or if you walk up to her, she will flop on the floor for you to pet her belly.
After that, the bed must magically call her back and on with more snoozing.
When it is night time, she likes to sleep in bed with us and is right next to us.
She is house trained - she does use a doggie door and does not seem to have any aggression issues ... She gets a little possessive of toys but does not have any issues around food.
Her teeth are not in good shape so her food has to be moistened with water and we include wet food.
Finally, she appears to be deaf or hard of hearing and she does have bad back knees - you can tell when she walks that she has trouble so she might need help up ont the couch or bed.
Regardless, she is full of love and sweetness.
Alfalfa is a young brindle pug.
He is a BIG boy at 32 lbs, and it’s all muscle.
Since brindle is not a naturally occurring color in the breed, there must be some French bulldog or Boston Terrier in the mix: he has a little stub tail that shakes his whole butt when he wags it, and one ear that stands mostly erect all the time, making a completely adorable combination.
He has been neutered, microchipped, and is up to date on his vaccinations.
He is heartworm positive, but we will treat that in the early fall.
Big Al is basically a galumphing, boisterous adolescent who needs some structured play and discipline.
He is very smart, learns quickly, and has good house manners.
His dog-dog social skills are excellent; he looks away and shows respect and surprising tolerance.
He ignores cats.
However, Alfalfa can be intimidating to smaller dogs because of his size and presence, and will retaliate if pushed too hard.
He has excellent bite discipline when playing with your hand, loves chewies and playing tug of war, and is quite athletic.
Alfalfa seems to prefer male humans, and there is something about this burly goofball that makes the feeling mutual, making him quite the Daddy’s boy.
Auggie is a fawn male.
He comes to us from a shelter.
He is 3 years old.
From Auggie's foster: Auggie is a 3 year old heartworm negative, fawn male.
He has been neutered, brought current on his vaccinations and micro chipped.
He had to have surgery to repair a lung torsion, but is healing nicely.
He is a terrific, little pug.
He is house trained and knows how to use a doggy door.
He will willingly go into a crate at night to sleep and can tolerate being crated during the day if necessary.
Auggie Doggy just loves his belly rubs and will lean back into the crook of your arm so you can sit there and rub or lightly scratch his little belly for as long as you have time to do it.
He gets along well with children and other dogs.
He likes to sit in the "pug pool" out in my back yard and cool off when it's hot - he didn't even mind sharing it with the 2 toads that were in it.
He knows to sit to get his treat and is a smart little boy.
Auggie is very deserving of a forever home looking for a little snuggle bug that will need to have special care taken to keep him from getting any respiratory infections.
If you're looking for a sweet, playful pug, then he's your boy.
From Amber's foster: Amber is simply awesome!
She was found by the SPCA after her eyes were injured.
We think she was hit by a car and the force of the impact caused the injury to both her eyes.
They were damaged beyond anything that could be done to repair them so they removed both eyes.
Her eyes, spay and tumor removal (on her tail) was done by the SPCA.
She is a typical blind pug, nothing seems to bother her and she gets around with little or no issues.
I have had quite a few blind pugs and they accommodate the change in their life in stride and it doesn't seem to bother them.
They seem to have an internal GPS system that kicks in.
Amber is extremely well behaved and over the top with loving.
She is never far from my side, she loves to be touched and loved on.
She doesn't interact with the other fosters I have but that isn't unusual, most blind pugs are not overly playful.
They will play if you instigate it but they seldom just go crazy like other pugs.
They also walk everywhere, they quickly learn that running will bring them a knock on the head.
I use the word careful when I see they are heading for a collision and after awhile they know that they should be on the lookout and slow down.
She is house trained and the only accident she had was the first day when she had no idea where to go.
She still doesn't tell me when she needs to go out, but neither do the others.
I have a semi large group of pugs so we do "group potty breaks", when I say it's time to go everyone goes.
Amber does have heartworms so she will not be available for adoption until September or so.
Other than that she is in excellent health.
She was in a bad situation when she was found but I truly believe that at some point in her life she was a very loved little girl.
She is well behaved (she sits on command) and when we go to bed she insists that she wants to burrow under the covers, so she's also slept with her humans.
She is pretty stubborn, we have a disagreement every night about getting under the covers.
If I let her squirrel down within 5 minutes she's laying there panting like it's 200 degrees so I pull her out.
But she will continue to attempt to get under for several minutes before she finally gives up and lays on top of the covers.
I guess the important message there is that I win.
:-) Amber is also gorgeous.
She has great facial wrinkles and her fur is blackest black and like satin.
She is also a very small pug, 14 or so pounds.
We believe she is around 5 years old.
I dearly love her and she will make a great addition to any family.
She goes to the events when we have them so keep an eye on our Facebook page for the locations and drop by to meet her when you have a chance.
Story coming soon
Burnie came to us after he was hit by a car and found by one of PugHearts' previous adopters.
He has a fractured pelvis and his hip is out of place.
The pelvis will have to heal first and then we will do surgery on the hip.
Burnie will be on crate rest for 4-6 weeks to allow the pelvis time to repair itself.
He is heartworm negative, so at least he does not have to deal with that.
From his foster Mom: I brought Burnie home last night.
He is one fine figure of a man pug.
He's beautiful and so well formed.
I would say he's the George Strait of the Pug World!!
He is not in the least bit happy to be in the crate but it's for his own good.
He can make some of the most soul wrenching noises I've ever heard, but I have to be strong!!
I went to Pets Mart today to get him a Kong and some chews that he can have while supervised.
No one else at my house gets treats because with so many it just starts fights but I figure Burnie deserves a little something special.
Another little tidbit about him is that of all the 200 or so fosters I've had he is hands down, no contest the loudest snoring pug I have ever encountered.
OMG, last night he kept me awake from another room with the door closed!
It really surprises me how he moves around, I think he must have a pretty high threshold for pain.
Story coming soon
Bacon is a 7 yr old that is heartworm negative.
He a sweet boy with a low key kinda personality.
He has bladder issues which will require a special diet for the rest of his life, other than that he is healthy and ready for his forever home.
I haven't fostered a black pug in a while, so I'm loving watching his chunky butt waddling around the house!
: )
Bobby is a black male.
He is 4 years old.
He is healthy; he is heartworm negative.
From Bobby's foster: Bobby is a 3-4 yr old male.
He is heartworm negative and healthy.
He is such a pretty, or should I say handsome, young man.
I've had him for several weeks and I like him more each day.
He is extremely well behaved, doesn't mark or potty, and is the life of the party when others want to play.
When they don't, he's quite content to cuddle on my lap and be sweet.
He's a pretty big boy but somehow when I'm holding him he seems to shrink and fits very well on my lap.
He's pretty special:)
April is a fawn female.
She is 6 years old.
She is heartworm negative.
However, she came to us suffering from several large lacerations from what appears to have been another animal attacking her.
She is recovering and we will post a full update once she settles into her foster home.
Burt is a fawn male.
He is about 7 years old.
He was found living on the streets and in very poor health.
He was severe heartworm positive and has completed treatment.
From Burt's foster: Burt is one of those pugs that came to me as a hospice but we forgot to tell him.
He has made such progress in the year that he has been with PH that it has surprised a number of people.
He has gone from a skinny pug with the absolute worst breath I have encountered that couldn’t walk across the room to a pleasantly plump pug who will play with Megan.
His health improved so much that he was able to have his teeth cleaned!!
When he arrived they said he wouldn’t survive being put under to have it done.
I promised him that if he didn’t die he could lick me as much as he wanted when his breath didn’t smell like something dead lived in his mouth.
(I really don’t like to be licked) Well, Burt remembered that promise because he licks me every chance he gets.
Burt is an exceptionally well behaved young man.
He’s only 7 years old, potty trained and really needs to have a family of his own.
He’s so friendly that anyone would fall for him.
Even though Burt’s health has improved by leaps and bounds he has a few issues and will always need to take medicine for heart support.
His heartworms were beyond bad and they damaged his heart.
However, Burt is now HW- ?
Burt just needs someone to love him.
He would be a great fit for a couple who is more settled or have older children.
Burt likes everyone but he needs a more laid back environment.
Burt is a true rescue, do you have what it takes to make sure he has a great life from here on out?
Update: Heartworm treatment has now been completed!
Brandon is an 8 yr old fawn male.
He is already neutered and heartworm negative.
From Brandon's foster: Brandon has not traveled down an easy road.
He first came into PugHearts in 2013 after being seen advertised on Craigslist for free.
He was in foster care for awhile and then hit it lucky when a wonderful loving woman adopted him.
Sadly, his adoptive Mom passed away within a year.
Again, he has found himself back in foster care.
Brandon is a laid back kind of guy.
He gets along with the other dogs in his foster home.
He is friendly to humans but is not a lap dog.
He must be encouraged to go outside to potty several times a day as sometimes he does have accidents in the house if not watched closely.
Update on Brandon Feb 2015: Brandon has come a long way since coming back into rescue 6 months ago after his adoptive Mom passed away.
His true personality has really begun to show through.
He used to be nervous and anxious around people but is now behaving in a positive way towards people interacting with him.
He especially loves children and likes getting attention from them.
He does well in a crate, but he also loves to be out and just be in the same room with his human.
He seldom marks anymore and will get your attention when he needs to go outside.
He is calm and not really interested in toys.
He gets along well with other dogs.
Brandon is looking for and deserves a forever home.
Ashton is a handsome deep apricot 4 year old neutered male who was surrendered to us when his owners didn’t have the money to treat his mouth infection.
He is now receiving badly-needed vet care.
He is heartworm negative, good with kids, reportedly housebroken, and a kind, gentle soul.
From Ashton's foster: Ashton is a wonderful 4-5 year old boy.
This sweet boy came to us with an infection in his teeth so bad that pus was constantly draining from his mouth.
He had a much needed dental and had several teeth pulled.
That procedure and the antibiotics have done the trick.
He is so handsome and so happy.
I have yet to hear him bark.
When all of the other dogs run around barking, he just quietly follows them with a smile.
He loves to cuddle but he also will lay on the floor by himself or with the other dogs.
He is great with kids and very gentle.
He pays our cats zero attention and he is housebroken.
He will make a wonderful member to a very lucky family!
Augustus is a black male.
He is 2 years old.
He has been neutered, microchipped and brought current on his vaccinations.
Baby is a fawn female.
She is 8 - 9 years old.
She is heartworm negative.
She has been spayed, microchipped and is current on her vaccinations.
From Baby's foster: Baby is a female fawn who is an owner surrender through no fault of her own.
She is approximately 8 years old.
She is the sweetest little lady you'll ever meet!
she is small framed but a little overweight (we are currently working on that) She gets along well with other dogs and cats.
We don't have young children but I can't imagine there being a problem.
She is house trained.
She loves being praised for anything she does and of course treats!!
She doesn't play with toys much but she loves playing chase with her humans.
Currently she does NOT do stairs.
We have to carry her up to bed and downstairs in the morning although she can do the 4-5 steps off the porch without a problem.
She loves belly rubs and sleeping in the bed.
We have not had to use a crate with her.
Is there room in your life for this little bundle of love?
Bijou is a smaller black lady.
She is an owner surrender.
She is about 8 - 10 yrs old, has several tumors on her belly and rear.
She is heartworm negative.
We will get this sweet girl back into great shape and then help find her a forever home.
From Bijou's foster: Bijou is a very small female black pug.
Although she is tiny don't let her size fool you!
She is one little sassy girl.
She is very vocal and is always making little noises.
We think she may be deaf and we are working on hand signals with her.
She isn't 100% potty trained so we keep a paper down for her and she does use it.
She gets along fine with our dogs and cats although she will chase the cats on occasion.
She sleeps in the bed with us and she is a hard sleeper.
Her being hard of hearing might be the reason for that.
We haven't had to crate her.
She has the most cutest face ever!
Once she looks at you with those milk chocolate eyes you will be smitten by this girl.
She truly lives up to her name, she is a lovely little jewel!
Do you have room in your heart for this little girl?
She won't take up much room but she will fill your heart and home with love until it's overflowing!
Brutus is a fawn male.
He is 7 years old.
He is an owner surrender with his brother Putter.
He is heartworm negative.
He does have a skin infection right now which we are treating and will clear soon.
From Brutus' foster: In the short time that I have had Brutus, he has stolen my heart.
You better adopt him quick or I might become a foster failure.
This boy is sweet, calm and loving…..just a great personality.
He wants to snuggle and be close.
He likes to sleep in a soft dog bed or with you.
In the morning he stands by the door to go out.
NO accidents with this potty trained big boy.
He coat and ears are the softest I have ever felt on a puggie.
His face is extra wrinkly and squishy.
I was told that he had limited vision but I am finding that he sees a lot.
He gets around like a champ and has not even come close to my pool.
He is pretty close to the perfect pug.
He loves all people and other animals.
Hurry and adopt him!
Burl is a fawn male pug mix.
He is 5 years old.
He is heartworm positive and will begin treatment shortly.
He came to PugHearts with a broken leg which has been treated; once he has healed properly he will be neutered.
He has been microchipped and brought current on his vaccinations.
From Burl's foster: Burl is the happiest little boy ever and is he little.
I have nicknamed Burl, Munchkin, because he is my smallest pug.
His tail is constantly wagging and he loves being held and giving kisses.
He loves everyone and gets along with other dogs.
Due to his broken leg, he hasn’t been able to play with the other pugs but he enjoys snuggling with them.
I know this little guy is going to be a lot of fun once his leg is healed.
He is very smart and has learned to “sit” and once he’s better, we will start working on other commands.
Burl learned how to use the doggy door and doesn’t go in the house if he can get out the door.
He has learned that the crate is where he sleeps at night and goes right in when it’s time for bed.
He wasn’t well taken care of before and is very grateful to have good food, plenty of clean water and lots of love in his foster home.
Burl will make someone a great member of their family.
Are you the one to give Burl his forever home?
Austin is a fawn male.
He is 3 years old.
He is heartworm negative.
He has been neutered, microchipped and is current on vaccinations.
From Austin (with some help from his foster Mom): Hello everyone my name is Austin, I am about 3 years old, HW-, and I'm a smaller guy in the under 18lb category.
My foster family says I am lots of fun and a very well-mannered pug.
I do not mark in the house, I know the dog door, yup im kennel trained (but shhhh I sleep in the human bed at night), and im good around other small and large dogs.
After hearing all these wonderful things I wonder why my “old” owners gave me up… I am learning to be a loving pug and like to follow you around the house.
When I came to PugHearts I had a simple little eye surgery to help my eyelids and I do have some impaired vision from the lack of care to my eyes up to this point now I just need eye drops once a day.
Don’t worry this does not really slow me down but sometimes I get extra close to give you a kiss.
The only other thing that you should know is I have what they call a luxating patella and a small back injury, I know I know big word for a small problem for a guy like me.
It basically means one of my knee caps does not stay in place.
I zig and zag more than I walk in a straight line, quite fun if you ask me.
We are not sure if both of these injuries are from an accident or if I was born with them, ether way I still love to play.
My back injury does not hold me back it just shows that I'm a strong pug that can overcome anything.
A few of my favorite things are to play with my foster brothers and sisters (I like to get in the middle of them and play tug-a-war), watch you cook or clean, and snuggle up to you, oh and I love to be carried around so I can be with you.
Will you consider me please ?
Introducing Boogie!
A fawn female that is 9 years old.
She was surrendered to us due to the fact that her owner was an elderly man and could no longer care for her.
Boogie is in great health and very active for her age, she still has a lot of life left in her!
From Boogie's foster: She is said to get a long great with children although I have not yet had her around any.
She does get along great with my female pug, Roxy.
She does not seem to like stairs very much but we are working on that with her.
I think she may have been so spoiled she likes to be carried up and down them!
I cannot think of many homes that would not be a good fit for Boogie.
She is a sweet girl and up to date I have nothing negative to say about her.
Bonnie is a 7 year old fawn female who is already spayed, heart worm negative and ready to go to her Furever home.
She came to PugHearts with her soul mate, Clyde, as owner surrender through no fault of theirs.
She is a small little pug girl, but she is the boss of the two.
She has a good appetite, goes potty outside and is crate trained.
She loves to play with toys.
She likes to snuggle in bed and have her belly rubbed.
When she gets tired of playing, she finds Clyde and curls up with him in one of their matching kennels.
She is very sweet, good with children and would make a perfect addition, with Clyde of course, to any deserving family.
You get a discount on the adoption donation for adopting this perfect couple.
Clyde and Bonnie are back with PugHearts after their Dad passed away and Mom cannot care for them on her own.
Bonita is a 4 month old chug who joined the PugHearts family via a vet in West Texas.
Her family had brought her in to euthanize her because of trauma to her eyes.
Fortunately, the vet was able to talk the family in to surrendering her.
After carefully assessing her eyes, the team at Sugarland Pet Hospital determined it was best to remove both eyes.
The good news is that because of Bonita's age and lack of vision for several months, her blindness is normal to her.
She is such a puppy and has NO fear.
Bonita tries very hard to play with all the pups in our house and terrorizes any toy left on the floor.
She has a loving, adventurous spirit and gives the best kisses.
Bonita has had very few accidents in our house and knows that outside is for taking care of business.
We are working on crate training her during the day while we are at work.
She currently sleeps with her foster mom and never wakes her up to go potty during the night.
Bonita needs a family that will treat her like a normal dog, including taking her for walks and to pet training.
This puppy won't last long, so contact us soon if you are interested.
Asti is a 9 year old fawn male.
He is heartworm negative, neutered and current on all his vaccinations.
From Asti’s foster: You would never know that Asti came from a puppy mill with his behavior and attitude.
He is a loving and caring soul that constantly follows us around.
He loves to give pug kisses and will do anything to get into your lap and cuddle on the couch or our favorite chair.
He does fine on all floor surfaces and does ok on steps.
He walks very well on a leash and follows simple commands.
When you let him venture out on his own in the yard he can run a mile a minute.
He has quickly bonded with our two pugs and started to follow around the much larger Golden Retrievers.
While Asti has had limited access to children during his foster care, he has behaved exceptionally well offering pug kisses to any child who wants to pet him.
While he has not had a lot of training, he has quickly learned to sit and to stay down.
He has crate trained very well with zero accidents and when he needs to go to the bathroom he heads straight to the back door.
Who is ready to make room for Asti in their hearts and their home?
Buddha is a black male, who came to PugHearts as a young (three year's old), owner surrender.
His foster mom cannot imagine why he was surrendered because he's was so sweet.
He loves belly rubs and needs love and attention.
These qualities were instantly recognized by an adoptive family.
We are happy to report that after only a week in foster care, Buddha, as well as another one of our female Pugs, was adopted by a wonderful family with two children: a boy and a girl.
Congratulations to the family and good bye Buddha!
We loved you for a short while and are so happy that you found your fur-ever home!
Bailey is a black female.
She is about 9 years old.
From Bailey's foster: Bailey is a 9 year old beauty.
And I do mean beauty, she could hold her own in any Pug Beauty Contest!
She is an owner surrender due to family changes and is AWESOME!!
She is HW-.
Bailey was in a family with young children and when I picked her up she was licking the baby on the floor.
She is such a wonderful girl!
She is housetrained and well behaved.
She very seldom barks and is quite a nice companion.
She likes to be with her human (as most pugs do) and is also quite happy to be lying next to me.
Bailey has issues with her back legs and can’t jump on the couch or climb stairs.
She will make a great addition to any family.
Berry is a 6 year old fawn female.
She is an owner surrender due to health issues of the humans.
From Berry's foster: Berry is a berry good girl.
She’s about 6 and is very healthy.
She weighed 31 pounds when she arrived and I’ve got her down to 29 so she’s going in the right direction.
However, she is a bigger pug so she should probably weigh around 25 or so.
She is an owner surrender do to the owner’s health.
She has dry eye (which is pretty normal for a pug) and needs drops in her eyes once a day.
Berry is very active and playful.
She has one of those personalities that she’s just waiting for something to happen so she can get involved in it, anywhere from barking just to be one of the gang, to joining in the play with others.
Nothing happens in the house that she’s not aware of and watching to see if it needs her attention.
She is SO sweet!
She loves to play but she also loves to have her loving and napping time.
She’s also very well behaved, she is totally trained and knows how to behave.
Berry really needs either a human or pug sibling that likes to play and be active.
Berry isn’t one to lay around and let any grass grow under her ?
She will make someone a great new addition to their family.
She has always been loved and is exceptionally well adjusted.
She is a fantastic pug!!
!
Anna is the sweetest, gentlest pug I have ever met.
Fully potty trained and crate trained, she never would even attempt to get on the furniture unless you picked her up and placed her there yourself.
She was my first pug foster with a long tongue, so it always made me laugh to see her so happy to sit or stand there with it out most of the time .. always in the brightest, happiest of moods.
She gets along great with other dogs and is definitely not Alpha in any way.
She loves a dog bed to get comfortable on and plays with toys when she is ready to.
She is always ready to be on the go.
You would never know she 8 or 9 years old.
She weighs in about 18 pounds and i think she might like to dress up.
She was always ready to put everyone else's harness on even though she already had hers on .. maybe that could have meant she was ready for a walk too!
She loves treats and loves kisses!
Mostly, she is ready for your love!
Buddy is a 10 mo.
old pug that does not have any health problems.
The first thing I noticed about him is his amazingly buggy pug eyes!
Buddy took a little longer to be comfortable with playing with toys and the other dogs, but now has no problem with chasing a toy or other pugs around.
He has a calm personality which is surprising with how young he is.
He loves to lay beside you and rest his head on your lap.
He is also a licker and will give you tons of kisses.
He is a bit of a talker by barking at your or the other pugs when he wants something.
Buddy is potty trained and is very good at letting himself out through the doggy door.
He also listens very well and is good at obeying.
Buddy is a very handsome boy who will make a great family member!
Barney is a fawn male.
He is 3-4 years old.
He was found wandering in the country with no tags or microchip.
Bernadette is one of the 9 “saints” rescued from a Mississipi puppy mill by Louisiana PugHearts volunteers.
She has had several litters, but has now been spayed, vaccinated and microchipped, and has had a dental where several teeth were extracted.
Her poor dental health is probably related to poor nutrition and overbreeding.
She is somewhere between 3-5 years old, and physically she is in better condition than many of her fellow saints, but Berny was emotionally traumatized by her puppy mill experience.
She gets along well with other dogs, but is terrified of humans.
She shrinks, tail tucked, and runs from any human who gives her eye contact.
She is afraid of the crate, and because catching her is so traumatic, her fosters allow her free reign of the house and yard.
She will potty outside at times, but otherwise reliably uses potty pads in the spare bathroom.
After nearly 3 weeks, she is finally starting to wag her tail when she is called, and will follow her foster mom.
She has recently started jumping on the couch rather than always lying in the dog bed in the corner, and she is now sleeping in the bed with the pack and her foster parents by choice.
She apparently sees the human bed as her “safe place” and has begun to play with her foster parents there.
She hoards toys in the dog bed; maybe she is missing puppies?
She will not take food from human hand; you have to put it down where the other dogs cannot get it (which requires some “pug wrangling” for the other members of the pack).
It’s hard to close a door without spooking her, so she usually eats outside where she will readily follow her foster mom, who can then close the door and put the bowl in the grass.
She requires at least 10 feet of space and no eye contact to eat.
She will come at times when called, and will approach to wiggling fingers and allow scratches under her chin but will run, tail tucked, if you try to pet her normally any place other than in the human bed.
She is very sensitive to eye contact and body language, and will refuse to come inside if she senses you are focusing on her.
This little girl will need some extra time to learn to trust humans, but she is coming along, albeit slowly.
One trip to the vet will undo weeks of human trust, so stay tuned as to her progress!
Brody is a 6 year old fawn male.
He is neutered and current on his vaccinations.
Brody was an owner surrender through no fault of his own.
Hi, I'm Brody and I'm 6 years old.
My family didn't want me anymore so I came to PugHearts where I am living with my foster mom until I find my forever family.
I'm a smart boy, house broken and know how to use the doggy door.
I like to chase bouncing balls in the house and I have lots of energy for playing and going on walks.
I know how to sit and sometimes I can stay.
I also like other dogs and little people too.
At night, I go right into my crate to sleep, but I sure would like to sleep in the big bed, if you'd let me.
I like to cuddle and be petted or get a belly rub.
I can also give good kisses.
It sure would be nice to have my very own family to love me.
Do you have room in your heart and home for a good boy like me?
Bam Bam is an 8 year old owner surrender.
He is the snuggliest, best behaved good boy I’ve ever fostered.
Bam Bam is a pro at using the dog door, sleeping in his crate at night without complaint and knows the command “sit”.
We are still working with the vet to understand his future prognosis with regard to his hip dysplasia.
Bam Bam is ready to find a cuddly place to spend his senior years.
ADOPTION PENDING
Bogart is a fawn male.
From Bogart's foster: Bogart is doing very good.
He is very different from my sleepy bears I have had.
He is up and at 'em and ALWAYS hungry .
He always wants to be where we are.
He has a hard time seeing, but when he finds where I am, he has to be right there and then he will settle down and lay by me.
He is really cute.
Took him to the bay this weekend.
LOVES the golfcart.
Lays right down on the seat and chills while we ride around.
Him and Benny didn’t really care about the other at all at first, but now when I check on them most of the time they are beside each other.
He loves being outside with us.
He doesn't go far.
Just follows us whatever we are doing.
I cant get him interested in play yet.
He is very happy and we are enjoying him.
Avalon came to PugHearts as an owner surrender due to her skin condition.
She was treated for sarcoptic mange and is still being treated for seborrhea.
She has gone from being an absolutely miserable pup, due to her itchiness, to being very comfortable.
Her personality has just began to surface, but it is clear she is loving, easy going and ready to bond with a family.
Avalon is great with other animals and children.
At the age of seven, Avalon is looking for a family to make happy and cherish.
Alice comes to us from a shelter near Corpus Christi.
We believe that she is a Pug / Boston Terrier mix.
She is a young girl at about 1-2 yrs.
old.
She has demodex mange and is (by some miracle) heartworm negative.
She will be a beautiful lady once she is well.
From Alice's foster: Alice was found tied up outside of the Animal Control facility in Alice, Texas.
She was very skinny, covered in ticks and had mange.
Wow, what a difference a few weeks in foster care makes!
Now Alice is a cute, playful, energetic, cuddly, fun puppy!
Her hair is growing back in quickly from the demodex mange.
She may always need medication for the demodex, but it is not a big deal to give it to her.
Alice is doing very well on her house manners.
She is young, about one year.
She is super smart!
She learned how to sit in just a few lessons and she learned how to go out a doggie-door very quickly.
She loves to run and play with her two foster sister pugs.
She stays in her crate when foster mom is gone and at night.
This is mostly because she is still a puppy and chews things.
When she is a little older she would love to cuddle in bed all night.
Alice will make a wonderful addition to a home where she can play and run all day.
Boogie is a 4 year old neutered male.
From Boogie's foster: Boogie is around 4 years old and a very handsome devil.
He really isn’t a devil but he does have that spark in his eye that means he can be very mischievous when he puts his mind to it.
He is very into his environment and nothing gets past him.
He’s quite intelligent and aware of everything that goes on around him.
He’s in excellent health and doesn’t have any eye issues.
He’s also a fairly small pug.
He did have pretty bad skin when he arrived because he was kept outside in the heat but that is a thing of the past and his fur is growing in nicely.
He’s a really black pug.
I love how his eyes are so big that he looks surprised.
He’s quite a great boy.
He did have marking issues when he came in so I had him in a belly band, but in the last week or so the band has stayed dry.
Boogie is a wonderful boy, he’s playful and also a lover.
He would be a great pug for a family with children who are active.
He has boundless energy and would be able to keep up with them.
He’ll be at all the events so if you think he may be what your family is looking for come on out and meet him.
Basil was found running loose in a neighborhood without any tags or microchip.
He was taken in by a good family to keep him safe.
From Basil's foster: who ever adopts this little guy will not be sorry.
He gives many kisses, his teeth look good; I guess that he is approximately 3 years old.
He understands no; come; and his name.
He is very itchy, and has some skin issues, to be determined by SLPH.
Bibi is a tiny 1 yr. old female brindle bug (boston terrier/pug).
She is healthy, spayed, and up-to-date on her vaccinations.
Bibi has the most amazing ears that fold over on the top and a little stub of a tail: she wiggles her whole butt when she’s happy or excited.
She has bionic springs in those proportionally long legs and is very athletic and fast.
She loves balls and pug eggs.
She’s begun to make play overtures with some of my pack, and does great zoomies.
She has not had an accident since arriving in my foster home.
But the pug is very evident in her cuddling nature, especially in the bed and on the couch.
She likes the spot behind your knees under the covers, and curls into such a little ball you hardly know she’s there.
This little one is as sweet as she is adorable, and will go quickly, I predict!
Black female found wandering alone.
She is heartworm positive and will begin treatment shortly.
From Bree's foster: This is Bree.
She is about the same size as Megan and is stinking cute!!!
She is extremely skinny so she will weigh more than Megan eventually but her body is the same size.
I love her ears and she has the head cock down to a science.
She is extremely timid and is scared also.
She is on my lap at all times and if I get up to just pick something up she follows me.
She is high HW positive so she will be with me for quite awhile.
She is a total bed hog because she has to be close to me so between her, Megan and Amber I get pushed off the bed.
I'm going to get way too attached to her, I just know it.
How could I resist?
Blanche is a fawn female.
She is about 8 years old.
She is blind from cataracts and does not seem to hear.
From Blanche's foster: Introducing "Baby Blanche" - my little "Peanut"!
Blanche is a very petite little girl - weighing only 9 pounds.
We are working on putting a little weight on Blanche.
She is a great eater and loves her kibble, green beans, and peas and carrots.
Her favorite meal night is when I give her sardines in Greek yogurt.
Blanche also likes fresh strawberries and pineapple, but blueberries - not so much.
Blanche is one of the sweetest fosters I have had.
She is sitting on my lap as I type this.
Blanche got along very well with my pups from the minute she came to my home.
She is also potty trained and has not had an accident in the house.
Blanche is such a great snuggler!
She sleeps right next to me, doesn't move very much, and doesn't snore!!
Blanche is blind, but it doesn't dim her happy spirit or her sweetness.
She won't chase after a ball, but she plays with toys.
I carry her around at times because she is like a "pocket pug" and so cuddly.
Blanche can hear, but please be close to her.
I can't tell you how very special this little girl is.
I have had Blanche for a little over two weeks, and I see her cute personality evolving everyday.
She is truly blossoming!
Blanche needs a special home (no children please) with a human who would love to have a "baby" and will treat her like the little princess that she truly is.
She deserves it.
Blanche will bring a lot of love and joy to any home, and she has certainly stolen my heart!
Thank you for considering this special little girl.

I was an owner surrender though it was nothing I did.
I am a fawn pug with great wrinkles, 7 years old, HW negative and completely healthy.
My foster mom calls me Big Lug Pug because I am a big boy.
She says I have a melon head when really, it is only the size of a large grapefruit and I weigh in at around 35 pounds.
I am just a big guy.
I have a personality that is larger than me.
I love people, dogs and cats.
I am housebroken and love to be in viewing distance of my humans.
I am not at all pushy with affection, I hold my licker well though I love a good rubdown and will push my face into your hands to get scritches.
My perfect curly tail never stops…I wag even if asleep and hear my name said.
I love to sleep in the big bed with my foster mom and I have a most endearing habit…I like to nurse on blankets or toys to put myself to sleep.
My foster mom gave me a small fuzzy pillow which I love but one of my pug brothers keeps stealing it so I nurse on mom’s blanket instead.
Basically I am a big boy with a sweet marshmallow center.
Does your home have room for me?

Betsy is heartworm positive and will start treatment soon.
From Betsy's foster: Introducing "Miss Betsy Lane"!
She is so beautiful with beautiful markings.
Betsy has a huge personality with lots of curiosity.
She is very playful and loves toys.
When she is done with one toy, she searches for the next one to play with.
Betsy also likes for me to chase her trying to get her toy.
She has adapted very well in my home and gets along with my other pups.
And Betsy is smart - she quickly learned how to use the doggy stairs and gets on my bed with no coaxing.
She was pretty proud of herself and thinks she is very regal up there!
Betsy was not potty trained when I first got her, but in less than a week, she had no accidents, learning from my pups.
She also has a great appetite - She loves her kibble, peas and carrots, green beans, sardines, and fresh strawberries, pineapple, and blueberries.
Betsy is quite the snuggler and sleeps next to me.
And she doesn't snore!
Betsy loves to give kisses, and she follows me everywhere.
She is amazing - always happy!
She will do well as an only dog or with siblings.
I think she would be great with children also.

He likes all sorts of people, even children!

Brooklyn is a young female that is suffering from demodex mange.
She comes to us from the Rio Grande valley.
From Brooklyn's foster: Brooklyn is a six month old puppy with tons of energy and is thought to be from London's litter.
She came to us with an awful case of Demodex mange, and just looked pitiful.
She has transformed into the beautiful puppy underneath that crusty layer.
She has completely come out of her shell and she gets along great with our current pack of female pugs, including one dominant alpha girl.
She knows when to steer clear of the resident cat and loves to play with my boys.
She is currently being house trained and is making some progress.

Burke is a great little dog, who loves to sleep, cuddle, and do a little playing with my puppy too.
There’s not a mean bone in his body, and the poor thing has to put up with 3 little Alpha B’s that are at our house.
He loves going for walks, and would much rather stay in bed, than get up for breakfast.
I think he will do great with other dogs, people, kids, pretty much anyone.
He’s had some marking issues in the past that we have been working with, and we seem to be having much success.
Whoever does adopt Burke, I would definitely recommend him wear a belly band in a new environment, for at least a week or two, just to keep that in check.
He’s such a sweetheart, who craves love and approval from his human, and when he’s scolded, he gets SO UPSET!
Burke has the softest, most beautiful coat ever, and sheds minimal, if at all.
He loves barking at the vacuum cleaner, and spending his days sunning on the patio.
Burke was left in a carrier, in the middle of the night, in the parking lot of the Pasadena shelter.
The shelter is located on Burke street, so when I picked him up, I named him Burke.
He’s very healthy, and about 7.
Aurora is a 10 year old fawn female with significant vision issues.
She and her sister were living outside before they came to us.
From Aurora's foster: Aurora is a very pretty lady.
She’s 10 years old and a little on the fluffy side.
I can’t begin to tell you how extremely sweet she is.
She is very timid about asking for attention or joining in any activities.
But when I go pick her up to hold she almost purrs.
She loves to be loved but she just doesn’t know how to ask.
She absolutely loves sleeping with me, she cuddles up just as close as she can get and won’t move all night.
She has dry eye that wasn’t treated so she has vision issues.
She can see but not very well.
But it doesn’t seem to make any difference to her, she gets around just fine and finds anything she wants.
She is HW+ so she will be with me for another 3 months.
Aurora is one of my favorites and she will be a great addition to any family that wants to just love on their baby.
Update: Heartworm treatment has now been completed!
Brodi is a healthy 8 year old puggle looking for his forever family.
Heartworm negative and neutered means he is ready to go.
He has occasional allergies that sometimes require antihistamines but otherwise he isn’t on any regular medicines.
He needs a home where someone is home a lot.
Ideally his new mom or dad would be retired or work from home.
Brodi gets along with most other dogs, but doesn’t play with them.
He prefers to lounge on the couch or just hang out with his person.
He would do well as an only dog as long as his human is home a lot.
If there are other dogs in the household they need to be willing to respect Brodi’s space as he doesn’t like other dogs in his face.
Brodi would be fine with older kids who respect boundaries.
He is fine with cats also.
He is completely potty trained and does NOT mark in the house, ever.
He will use the doggie door or bark to let you know he needs to go out.
Brodi loves to go for walks and car rides.
He rides very well in the car and loves to go places with you.
He sleeps through the night in the big bed with me.
He makes sure I get up in time for breakfast though!
He’s had some negative experiences associated with a crate in the past so I just haven’t used one for him.
He’s such a good boy that there really isn’t a need for a crate.
Brodi has one toy that came with him to PugHearts and that’s the only one he plays with, but he loves it!
He will also entertain you with a few party tricks.
He knows how to sit, shake and roll over on command.
If you’re looking for an easy going, mature and fun companion Brodi might just be your man.
Bellatrix is a 6-7 year old black female.
She is from a local shelter and is being checked out by our vet.
From Bellatrix (with some help from her foster): Hi there, my name is Bellatrix.
I am a black female pug, about 6 or 7 years old.
I have heartworms so will not be adoptable until late summer at the earliest.
However, that does not slow me down much!
I am a very good house dog as I almost NEVER have an accident in the house.
I really like to go for walks and prefer to do my business away from home.
I am kennel trained, though my foster mom gives me full run of the house.
Sometimes I sleep in her bed and sometimes I sleep on ‘my chair’.
I totally get along with my buddy Wugi.
We can lick the same peanut butter spoon without fussing about who got the most!
I could live in a home as the only dog or with a friend.
I am fast and agile but I don’t do any of those naughty things like jump up on the dining room table.
I don’t bother the cat much.
I would love to have a yard where I could chase the birds and squirrels!
I am good when getting a bath.
I love playing tug of war with the towels after my bath!
I have very soft fur.
I do talk a lot.
And I make really fast circles when my mom is fixing my food!
Come and meet me at an event or ask your adoption coordinator about me.
I am worth waiting for!
Albus (aka Noah) is a sweet senior who will turn 13 the day after Christmas.
He and his bonded brother Alfred (aka Moses) found themselves here through no fault of their own.
This boy is blind, somewhat deaf and was diagnosed with cancer (mast cell) in 2011.
Noah (PH Albus) was on hospice care with his best friend Moses (PH Alfred).
He had heart failure, vestibular disease and defective hips but he was a happy guy.
He lost his Moses but had the crew here to hang out with.
His condition did worsen but he was still happy; cold laser treatment on his hips bought him a couple more months but then his breathing got bad and it was time to free him from his failing body.
He left to be with his BFF Moses in February 2017.
Moses (PH Alfred) Moses earned his wings May 28, 2016 when an undetected brain tumor suddenly blew up, and he was released from pain.
He was a sweet and gentle pugman who loved to sing "the song of his people" whenever the mood struck…which was sometimes the middle of the night.
I miss my morning serenades.
Abigail is a 5 year old female.
She was surrendered by her owner though no fault of her own.
From Abigail's foster: Foster Abigail is a sweet petite 10 lb girl.
She is house trained and wants to sleep as close as she can to her family at night.
She plays fetch and tug of war and will bring you a toy as a gift when you arrive home.
She is a lap girl and a sweet heart that loves her squeaky toys.
She likes children, dogs and cats.
She is ready for adoption and will make a great addition to any home.
Baby Doll is a 7 month old blind black puppy who was found abandoned in a neighborhood park covered in fleas.
The volunteers who picked her up fell in love instantly.
She is very calm and snuggly for a puppy, and has no problems getting around whatsoever.
She has been spayed, had some baby teeth removed, dewormed and vaccinated.
She is dealing with a stubborn urinary tract infection, but will be adopted by her foster family when she is healthy.
10 lbs of love and play, she is perfect.
I’m Buster; I’m heartworm negative and 8 years old.
I love to lie around and be lazy!
I don’t see very well but my foster mommy put different scents around the house so I could learn my way around pretty easily.
It took me about three days and well, it’s like I’ve lived with them forever.
I love to suckle on my doggie toys and if you pull on it I will play tug of war.
I also enjoy playing with you if you put your hand under a blanket.
I would probably do best with a house with older kids or without kids, although I get along with my human foster brother I’m not particularly fond of being picked up or moved.
My human foster brother who is five likes to be the boss and well….I am an older gentleman set in my ways.
I do get along fine though with my foster brothers!
I’m potty trained!
When I learn my way around the house I actually bark to go outside.
I love to be where you are but am perfectly content to sleep on the floor in or outside of a crate.
I’m pretty much perfect, except for that silly dry eye that has caused me to lose quite a bit of my eyesight (NOT ALL of it though).
I require drops twice a day for the rest of my life, BUT I promise to love you forever!

There is a whole lot of Bubbles to love!
She is an owner surrender and is a very happy, well-adjusted girl.
The only issue she has is she needs to lose about 10 pounds, she is HUGE!
She is on a diet and should be showing a weight loss in the near future.
Bubbles has heavy breathing issues due to the excess weight but that sure doesn’t stop her from being one of the happiest pugs I have ever had.
I really don’t think her tail has stopped wagging since she arrived.
Bubbles is very loving and super well behaved.
She is HW-, house trained and goes into her crate willingly each night.
She doesn’t play much right now but that should change when she can move around a little better.
She will be such a great pug for some lucky family that just wants a love pug.
She is very healthy with the exception of her weight so she will be ready to find that wonderful home in very short order.

He has the cutest set of teeth and wrinkles.
An ideal home will include another dog as he truly loves playing.
He is great with kids as well.
If you want a cuddly boy this is it!
Beefy is a larger pug and a big love.
He is heartworm negative and already neutered.
Tonight he is on my lap and we are chatting about the good life to come.
Meet Big Boy (aka Bigs).
Bigs is 42 pounds of chunky cuteness.
He is about 9 year old and heartworm negative.
He is already on a diet.
He is more active than you would suspect.
He is housebroken and already neutered.
Update from Big Boy's foster: When Big Boy came to PugHearts he weighed a whopping 42 lbs.
He has managed to lose quite a bit of weight, and now sits at around 29 lbs, with a few more to go.
This guy is extremely well-mannered and totally housetrained.
He is a total velcro dog, sticking by the side of his person.
He is very happy to sleep in the bed with you, and also totally happy to sleep in the dog bed on the floor.
He is calm and laid-back, though he is getting more energy as the pounds come off.
Big Boy does not manage stairs well, so he would do best in a one-story home.
He is great with older kids and other dogs, and a low-key household would be right up his alley.
He does have dry-eye, so he needs to have eye drops in both eyes, twice a day.
He has recently had a dental cleaning, and had a few teeth removed.
He is heartworm negative and already neutered, and is ready for a furever home!
This is Foster Betty.
Betty is 8 years old.
She isn't grossly overweight but she's really scared and panting hard.
She likes attention but I have to go to her.
Poor girl is very confused.
Betty is heartworm negative and already spayed.
From Betty's foster: Betty is an owner surrender and is a total love.
She is super friendly and loves her human(s).
She constantly wants to be on my lap and will scratch at my leg until I pick her up.
She is also a little on the heavy side but not anything like Bubbles or Big Boy.
She probably only needs to lose 2 – 3 pounds to be in perfect condition.
Betty is also HW-, house trained and crate trained.
She is super well behaved.
Betty Boop will be a perfect girl for some lucky individual.
Come on out to the events and meet her, it just may be the love connection you have been waiting for your whole life.
Introducing Blossom :-) She is a month old puppy found by a good Samaritan and turned over to us.
How can I put this.
SHE IS FREAKING ADORABLE !!!!!!!!!!!!
She loves to play, is feisty, seeks out your lap to cuddle and has the muskyist, best ever puppy breath.
We really don't know what she is.
I think part chihuahua because of her size (tiny).
She appears to have pug ears, her tail is curling and she sheds like a pug.
We decided to introduce her here for now.
So if you know of anyone interested in a puppy, tell them about her :-) UPDATE: Blossom has a pending adoption!
Blanche is such a sweet little girl.
She is around 6 years old and in good health.
She likes to play with the other fosters and also likes to cuddle next to me on the couch and nap.
Blanche is housetrained and loves to sleep cuddled up next to me in bed at night.
She isn’t a barker, she doesn’t jump on you, she gets along very well with all the other fosters and she’s just an all-round nearly perfect pug.
She take thyroid meds and eyes drops.
The meds aren’t very expensive at all (I know because I also take daily thyroid meds).
She is quite happy to get her treat every day.
Blanche will be a great pug for just about anyone who will feed and love her.
She likes children and has the energy to keep up with them but she is also just fine to be a couch potato all day if that is what her human wants to do.
And as a bonus she has that great tongue and white socks to make her stand out.
Come on out to the events and meet her.
Andy is an 11 year old fawn male who comes to us with his bonded brother Woody.
He is heartworm negative.
From his foster: Andy comes to PH as an owner surrender with his bonded buddy Woody.
He is 11 yrs old, neutered, HW negative, healthy and with the most beautiful tail ever!!
He has come out of his shell and has so much personality and loves to tell you all about his day!!
Andy is a real body bug, and although he is crate trained, he would much rather snuggle with you in the bed!
Andy and Woody are a wonderful pair that have so much love to give and would love to share it with you!
Bubba is a 4 yr old neutered male.
He came in from Louisiana.
He is an owner surrender and is HW+.
From Bubba's foster: This handsome black boy is Bubba.
He is amazing.
He is pretty much perfect.
He's always been a pet so when he arrived he settled right in.
He's a beautiful pug and so sweet.
He's not much for being held but he always wants to be close to me and lays on the back of the couch right behind my head.
Bubba has HW so he will probably not be available for adoption until after the first of the year.
But keep this boy in your sights if you're looking for a wonderful companion.
Bear is a young male that comes to us from a family unable to care for him.
He is neutered and healthy.
This active boy is looking for a family to enjoy his active nature and love his cuddles forever
Bobby NAP (Not A Pug) had me from the first minute I saw his picture at the shelter.
I went to pick him up at the shelter and the poor guy was a mess, he had tar in his fur that we had to shave out and he was wet and smelled so extremely bad.
But he was the happiest little guy to get sprung.
He is about 3 years old and is totally PERFECT in every way.
He is HW+ and should begin his final treatment in the near future.
He does have longer hair so he requires more frequent bathing and periodic brushing to control the matting but he doesn’t seem to shed so that is a huge plus.
Bobby is one of those guys that just melts into the arms of whoever is holding him.
He puts off such an aura of calmness and gentleness that he calms the person holding him.
He does like to play with the younger fosters but his favorite activity is to be cuddled.
He would be a dream come true for a child that would like to have a companion that will be a BFF for life.
I can’t begin to find the words to describe how amazing Bobby is.
He is truly the perfect package all rolled up into one guy, he’s handsome, loving and well behaved.
Someone is going to be one of the luckiest people alive when they adopt this sweet little man.
Avery is a 7 yr old fawn female.
She is heartworm negative and already spayed.
Avery is a character that wants to find a person that will adore her and treat her like a princess.
Brando was dumped with 2 other pugs.

From Brando's foster: Brando is quite the little Casanova.
He is about 5 years old and currently HW+.
Brando was a puppy mill dog and dumped along with two other precious babies.
He is still a bit skittish when it comes to human touch, but will let you pet him when he is relaxed.
Brando gets along extremely well with our dogs and likes to cuddle with them.
His favorite treat is cheese, and he seems to be pretty fond of whipped cream as well!
He truly has come a long way in a short amount of time, and we continue to see small improvements everyday!
Bosley is a 5 yr old male from the Rio Grande Valley.
He is heartworm positive, has dry eye that has not been treated effectively.
He needs a dental and some good food and care.
Update: Hi everybody!
My name is Bosley, and I'm the latest boy to join the Franks' foster crew!
I had to have my eye removed the other day, which kinda stinks but I'm good, I'm getting the hang of this one eye thing.
I'm a 5year old, small, quiet boy.
I'm still getting settled into the crowd, but I really like my people.
I haven't had any accidents in the house.
I hang in the crate when my peeps are at work, but I get to sleep in the big bed at night, so that's cool.
They say I have a mild case of these heartworm things, so I'll be hanging with the Franks for a couple of months until those go away.
(It's all good, this way Santa knows where I'll be.)
Come early next year though, I'm gonna be ready to find my forever home!
Bing is quite the cutie pie.
He’s part pug and part something else, I think it may be Peke.
Whatever it is he’s beyond cute.
He is around 4 and is healthy.
He came in with his partner in crime, Carol.
There really isn’t a need to write a bio for Bing and Carol.
Their picture speaks for them.
They really are too cute for words.
Bing and Carol are about 4 years old and are a bonded pair.
And what a pair they are!
I have fostered a lot of pugs and these two are probably the most entertaining I have ever had.
They are constantly playing and running around (they are very active), they will stop and look at me and I can’t help but smile, they are just beyond.
They are very well behaved, even though they are active.
They keep each other entertained and will pull any of the other fosters into their play that they can talk into it.
They are very social little guys.
They also like to cuddle and if you have one to cuddle there will soon be two.
They never are far from each other.
We think they are from the same litter.
Even though they look so different you can see how they look alike in the mouth and face.
When Carol is wet they really look like each other.
Also, I need to let everyone know that Carol does not need to be groomed any more than a pug.
Her hair does not mat, she doesn’t need to have her hair trimmed ( it just looks great) and her shedding is minimal (nonexistent compared to a pug).
Her scruffy look comes naturally and if I brush her all she has to do is shake and there is the scruffy girl again. ?
These are two sweethearts that I wouldn’t mind having forever but they need a home of their own with their own family.
I will miss them more than I can say but some family is going to be so happy they opened their home and hearts to two of the sweetest little creatures in the world.
Alister is a 2 year old fawn male who came to us from the valley where he was found covered in ticks.He is heartworm negative and will be neutered as soon as he finishes his antibiotics for tick fever.
That means he could go to his fur ever home by Valentine's Day!
Alister came to us stressed and scared from his many changes, transport, and crating at the vet.
After less than 12 hrs in foster care he had learned to sit, and was snuggling in bed with 2 humans and 6 other dogs.
He has never looked back.
He is quite calm and gentle, although he is s bit enthusiastic with his kisses.
He's learning to play with the young dogs in his foster home, and enjoys zoomies.
He also shows good bite discipline when wrestling with you.
He's learned the doggy door and no longer marks.
He may still have reservations about young children and the crate, but he is a very well behaved and adorable youngster who needs to put on some weight!
Treats, anyone?
Ana is a 5 yr old black female.
She is dealing with a skin infection and severe heartworms.
This sweet girl will be spayed as soon as her skin heals.
She will go through heartworm treatment before she can find her forever home.
From Ana's foster: What can I say about this little love?
She is a 5 yr. old "Winky" and just the sweetest girl.
She will lay in your arms like a rag doll for hours just to be loved on.
She's very clingy, so be prepared to be her one and only.
She likes her crate but prefers to snuggle as close as possible to her human at bed time.
She's afraid of our doggy door, so we are working on that, but will go sit by the door to let you know she needs to go outside.
She enjoys an occasional chew toy to play with.
She has a luxating patella on one of her back legs but it doesn't stop her a bit.
Ana has to go through heartworm treatment, and will probably be ready for adoption this early summer.

Abigail is a very sweet and loving pug ready to start the next chapter in her life.
She is potty trained, healthy, spayed and very low maintenance even though she is vision impaired.
She mapped our first floor in a few days and figured out where the water bowl was almost instantly.
Abigail would do best in a home with another dog/stay-at-home human as this makes her feel more comfortable and confidant.
Abigail's personality is very sweet and calm, which will make her a perfect companion for a lucky family.
Bambi is an 11 yr old pug mix.
She is heartworm negative and spayed.
She is scared and needs a quieter home with other dogs to help her feel more confident.
From Bambi's foster: Greetings, my name is Bambi.
We lost our loving home when our owner suddenly passed away.
I am a beautiful Pug/Brussels Griffon southern girl that has impeccable manners.
I am beautifully house-trained, crate trained and also dog friendly.
I enjoy sniffing around the yard, occasional sunbathing, rolling in the plush green grass, sleeping on the couch and I loves treats too!
I am not much for for toys or playing, but more the timid, loving, gentle wall flower type personality.
I would flourish in a less active, calm home with someone who is home most of the time.
I currently do not share a home with children and the hustle and bustle of children would be to much for me.
I love to follow you around the house as you do your daily chores and am content sleeping in the bedroom at our foster home on those thick orthopedic beds.
Best part, you won't hear a peep out of me all night, well ok, maybe a little snoring.
I hope you won't pass me by because well, I am not a young pup anymore, I will bring sunshine to your home daily and would be very grateful for a forever home.
Don't wait a moment longer to apply for this sweet girl!
Bitsy is an older female that came to PugHearts when her owner was not able to care for her any longer.
From Bitsy's foster: Bitsy is an 8-year old fawn owner surrender.
She is a beautiful, sweet girl with a sift coat who gets along with other dogs.
At this stage in her life, she's all about belly rubs, watching TV with her human and taking short walks.
She came in to PugHearts a bit overweight, but she is now well under way to losing those extra pounds.
Bitsy recently underwent bladder surgery to have stones removed, so she will need to be on special diet food for the rest of her life.
Bitsy is crate and potty trained and loves meeting new people.
She only barks when it's dinner time!
She will make a wonderful companion for anyone who wants a lovable lap dog who wants nothing more than to hang out with you.

She has some bald spots and is quite itchy.
From Alice's foster: Alice is a super great little girl, and she is super little.
She weighs around 12 pounds.
She’s about 7 or so.
She has been fighting skin issues so that is why she’s a little scruffy looking but has turned the corner and is now growing fuzz in the bald patches.
It will only be a matter of a few months until she has a super silky, full coat.
Alice is very loving and just wants to curl up in a little ball on my lap and stay there all night, and she’s so tiny that she leaves enough room for everyone else to get some lap time also.
She has one of the cutest faces I have ever seen, I absolutely love her tongue and how it hangs out most of the time.
She gets along great with all the other fosters and loves the children at events.
She will make a great addition to any type of family, she is young enough to be active for a younger family who wants to play but she’s just as happy to hang out on your lap for the evening with a more settled family.
Ashley is a sweet heartworm positive female about 6-7 yrs old.
She has an undeveloped eye and will have to go through heartworm treatment prior to adoption.

She’s potty trained and crate trained.
She gets along with the other dogs in her foster home and children.
Ashley has no health problems and is ready for her forever home.
Bruno is a 9 year-old fawn male who has come back to us after tragically losing his owner.
He is heartworm negative and neutered.
This sweet boy loves to be as close to his people as possible so when you can’t find him, it’s because he is right behind you or sitting under your chair.
He has a back issue and is missing one eye, but is otherwise healthy, and he doesn’t let it slow him down at all.
Bruno enjoys wandering the back yard.
He is a well-mannered fellow.

Bentley comes to us from a home where the elderly owner was no longer able to care for him.
From Bentley's Foster: Bentley is a 6 year old heartworm negative and neutered fawn male, surrendered to PugHearts due to divorce.
He's officially the BIGGEST, sweetest guy I know.
& that face.
A level of squish usually reserved for Hollywood.
A gorgeous head that soon won't be dwarfed by his body.
Initially indifferent, by day 3 worked his way to the rest of the couch pack (after considerable effort getting up) He has dry eye, so daily drops for life, resolvable skin & weight issues, clearly, after which he'll undergo surgery for stenotic nares (narrow nostrils), but then set to be your sturdy, svelte companion.
It's been just days, so his personality continues to reveal itself...
He's ALWAYS quiet.
Amazingly, he does not snore.
He's instead the King of Calm & Cool.
He's had no accidents.
He gets along with everyone (adults & pugs; no children/cats in my home) & objects to nothing.
Except going up stairs.
We are a work in progress, but he sure is lovin this couch thing...

I cannot think of anything negative to say about him.
He’s gorgeous, has a beautiful light colored coat and has tons of manners.
He’s not interested in toys much, but loves food like most pugs.
He’s good in the car and he sleeps well at the foot of the bed with us.
He’d make a great only dog or do well in a pack.

From Beau's foster: Beau is an absolutely gorgeous, cobby young male with a dense coat and a very flat face.
He has been neutered and brought up to date on his vaccinations.
Beau is heartworm positive and will be unavailable for adoption until late fall, which is a good thing since he needs to learn better manners.
In a short time in his current foster home he has almost ceased marking and is learning that he can’t own his people or his favorite female member of his foster pack.
He has learned not to get on the couch unless invited, and happily hangs out in a doggy bed in the living room.
Loves belly rubs and has one of those soft “woo-woo” barks that can’t help but make you smile.
He’s also a king of the “froggy” pose.

sounds.

From Brooke's foster: Brooke is a 7 year old spunky girl who is small in size, but large in personality.

She’s getting more confident, so the cries are fewer and farther between.

She isn’t crazy about going into her kennel, but does stay there quietly once she’s in.
She’s not big on toys or playing, but is an excellent companion dog.

Bocephus is a 5 yr old male owner surrender.

Button is a female from the Rio Grande valley.
Updates to come From Button's foster: Button is such a sweet, tiny girl.
I have had her for a while because she was sick from all the ticks that covered her little body.
She has been on antibiotic for almost a month and will be spayed once she has completed them.
Oddly enough, even though she had ticks everywhere she was heartworm negative, thank goodness.
Button has blossomed since she came to Pughearts from a scared, shrinking little girl to a little package of dynamite.
Since she has started feeling better she has found her voice and will let me know when she wants something.
For such a tiny girl she sure is bossy.
Button is very well behaved, she is housebroken and will just lay on the couch all night chilling out.
I think she will probably blossom more when she is in a home where she has less pugs to compete with for attention.
This little girl (10 – 12 pounds) is definitely one that you need to come meet and get to know.
She is an angel.
Amy is a fawn female that was dumped in a neighborhood and helped out by a nice person.
From Amy's foster: Amy is a 4 year old fawn female with loads of personality.

She gets along with other dogs but she won’t let anyone push her around.
Her first Pughearts event got her 3 applications for adoption.
She won’t be around for long because she is so cute and so much fun.
Amy has fallen into the pool numerous times so it may not be a good idea for someone with a pool to adopt her.
She cannot swim at all.
Medical Issues: she has been diagnosed with dry eye and will need drops from the vet for her life time.
Abigail is a 9 year old black pug.
She is as sweet as her face.
Loves all dogs but adores her people.
She is potty trained and will use a doggy door or a pee pad (who doesn’t love a versatile girl?).
The only thing to watch out for is her food guarding but after 3 weeks with us she’s realized no-one will push her out of the way so she has stopped fussing.
She comes from a home that adored her but she tragically lost both her people this year which is how she found herself with PugHearts again but not for long.
Abigail got her dental and a growth removal done and after her soft palate surgery in October she will be joining her furever family and let me say, they hit the jackpot!

Reintroducing Foster Buttermilk.
Now I hate the name but love this girl.
The whole name theme has come back to haunt us, I can't even call her by her initials ??
She was born into our rescue two years ago.
By no fault of her own she found her way back to us.
She loves to play fetch and drop (she actually drops the ball for you to throw again), sits on command and runs to her crate when feeding time rolls around.
She is a huge cuddler and has taken over the bed.
She is crate and house trained, loves her long walk in the evenings and loves the freedom of the backyard.
This sweet girl is ready for her furever home *right now*.
I call her Luna Lou.

She won’t come to me yet so I have to go pick her up to get her on my lap or the couch.
She has started showing more of an interest when they are all trying to get attention when I get home and has showed interest in joining in.
Adele is an extremely well behaved pug, I have yet to hear her bark and she hasn’t had any accidents in the house.
She does well in the crate without making noise.

He prances around in a way that you have to just see to appreciate!

When there is food involved he does the cutest happy dance and makes this soft little noise that we just adore!
He is crate trained and sleeps with us at night with no issues and when he needs to go potty he stands by the back door.
He's just a love and he would be the perfect addition to any home with his easy going temperament.

Meet Bartholomew.
He is a 4 yr old male owner surrender due to changes in the family.
He is heartworm negative.
From Bartholomew's foster: Bartholomew is 4 years old and came to PH as an owner surrender, unaltered, and in need of nares surgery, .
Bart is on the smallish side, very handsome, and has the softest fur!
When Bart arrived in his foster home he behaved aggressively when redirected or when placed in the kennel.
He growled, and he even bit his foster dad once.
After a short time and behavior modification (he was taught his place in the pack) such as kenneling at night, no sleeping with the humans, no jumping on the furniture, and getting fed last.
This worked like magic and he's now gentle, easy, and fun!
He would probably do best in a household without small children and his new family should allow him time and space to warm up.
He loves toys, especially plush ones, soft dog beds, soft human beds, sitting next to you, and seeing you when you walk through the door.
He is possibly the best foster we've ever had.
Buddy is a gentleman pug that comes to PugHearts with his sister Carlee after his family became too ill to care for them.

Bernard is a 12 yr old male.
He is heartworm negative.
Bernard comes to PugHearts from a local shelter.
From Bernard's foster: Foster Bernard is a stunning, black, senior, southern gent who came to PugHearts via local shelter in sad shape.
12 years spent largely in a cage, his spirit, resilience & enthusiasm inspire.
On just day 2, post bath, meal & comfy night's sleep, he awoke in full tail wag.
Bernard (remarkably) is HW-, but in dire need of groceries, which to my own pug's horror, he gets in unlimited supply.
He has very decent vision, but is a bit hard of hearing.
He has a hitch in his git along, as my dad would say, but is in no pain & keeps up with mates a fraction of his age.
Just 5 days in, his Texas size charm continues to bloom.
Watch him transform via Facebook & Instagram #PHadoptme.
He is a follower, talker & a lover.
He'll tell you he wants up & has not had one accident in the house.
He walks well on a lead, especially considering he's maybe never been.
He will do best in a mellow home, absent young kids & rowdy dogs.
Don't let that odometer fool you.
Seniors make THE BEST adoptees.
This one is a true rescue model.

Austin is heartworm positive and will be available for adoption after he completes treatment.

He was found wandering all alone.

From Abraham's foster: Abraham is 8 years old, was found as a stray, drags his back foot slightly when he walks due to some back aches, neutered, and he is HW-.
He's very quiet, but does have a small bark that he uses when we're eating in hopes that we'll share.
He eats dry food (Taste of the Wild), enjoys pumpkin, yogurt, carrots, green beans, and eggs.
As you can see this 25lb boy is not picky.
He doesn't have an interest in toys, but LOVES to be petted and will tap you or even pull your hand toward him when he's ready for some love.
He gets along great with other dogs, kids, does well in the crate, doesn't jump on furniture, and probably would do best in a house with few or no stairs.
We have 3 steps to get to the back yard (they are spaced out) and he gets around just fine.

Amara is a beautiful female that comes to PugHearts from the Rio Grande Valley.
She was covered in ticks and has obviously had too many litters of puppies.
No more of that for her.
She is being seen by the vet and we will update soon.
From Amara's foster: Hi.
I'm Amara, but my foster family calls me Lil Bit.
I came to Pughearts from the valley covered in ticks and insect bites.
But now my skin is almost all healed and my coat is getting soft and silky.
I'm crate trained and house trained and great with all the other dogs in my foster home.
I like to start up a good wrestle match and chase game with the other pups I live with.
I might be a Velcro pug, but my foster mom says I'm more like a surgically implanted pug.
She accidentally trips over me all the time because I stay right by her feet.
I love squeaky toys, but am just as happy tackling an empty milk jug or water bottle and chasing it all over the house.
I just had my big girl surgery so now I'm all ready to be someone's furever baby.
If you're looking for an adorable, hilarious, tiny bundle of energy and love who will be your shadow, I'm the girl for you!

Angelica came to PugHearts is terrible condition.
She was covered in ticks and large patches of hair loss across her body.
She is undergoing treatment, and looks and feels so much better already!
From Angelica (with some help from her foster): I’ve been told I was 4 but I sure don’t feel 4.
I feel like I’m 2 and Foster mom said my teeth are sharp like a puppy.
I had mange but I’m healing up and my hair is growing back.
I love toys and really like tug of war with my foster brother.
I like to be held as long as it is in the hugging position.
I don’t potty in my crate and only had 2 accidents inside.
I DO NOT like grass of any kind, wet or dry.
I will get in it long enough to do my business and that’s it!
The best thing I’ve discovered is beds, pillows and blankets.
I even get to sleep in a big people bed at night.

Sometimes he will find a shoe to chew on but we're working on that!
He is all pug with his curly tail and floppy ears.
One of the Founding Fathers puppies taken in July 4, 2017
Athena is a fawn female that comes to PugHearts from the Rio Grande Valley.
She has sustained massive trauma to her rear foot that will require the amputation of her leg.
She is small and sick, but we will do all we can to help her heal and become the goddess she was born to be.
From Athena's foster: Athena's story is extremely sad but has a happy ending.
She came to us from a shelter where she was dropped off severely underweight (really just skin and bones), covered in ticks and with open wound on her right hind leg.
She was in a critical condition when she got to SLPH but the wonderful staff and Cindy were not about to give up on her.
A couple weeks went by, Athena put on a few pounds and looks so much better.
Her leg started healing incredibly fast once she was feeling better and getting some good food.
It is still not certain she will be able to keep it but we are doing all we can.
In the unlikely event that she does get to keep it there is no chance at this point that the leg will ever be 100% again.
Now, that being said - none of the above slows her down one bit.
She is a fighter like I have never seen, she runs around with the other dogs with no fear and tries to play tug of war with them.
She loves being held and gives the best kisses.
Really, you can hold her for hours.
She never lost faith in humans despite everything she has been through.
She is beautiful inside and out.
I feel like regardless of what I write I will fail to describe her accurately.
She amazes me every day and should be an inspiration to all of us.
Meet Amelia.
She was found wandering in a neighborhood.
She is in poor condition for a 7 yr old girl.
She needed a dental (already done) and several large masses were removed.
She will be feeling better in no time.
From Amelia's foster: What a sweetheart!
Miss Amelia Bedelia may have had a rough start in life, but she has not let that get her down.
She is 7 years old, heartworm positive and has already been spayed.
She gets along great with my other pugs and just wants to be with her people.
She is learning to play with toys and her favorite past times are chewing on bones and snuggling with her favorite people.
She is a sweet little lady and once she goes through heartworm treatment and has a dental, she will make a wonderful addition to your family!
Babycakes comes to PugHearts looking for a forever home.
She is a young girl with tons of energy.
She will be seen by the vet and we will update soon.
Babycakes is pending adoption.
Congratulations Jamie and Peter
Barney is a handsome, middle aged man that came to us as a result of that nasty Harvey.
His family was displaced and needed to have a safe place for him.
Barney is about 7-9 and a fairly large pug.
I would guess he weighs about 25 pounds, and there’s not an ounce of fat on him.
He loves to play and run around.
He quite busy all the time and will need a home that is active and will want to include him on the fun.
Barney is HW negative and will be neutered the first week of October so he will be looking for his family in very short order.
If you want a pug that is kind of rough and tumble that can hold his own this is your guy.
I think he would be great with any family as long as they are active.
Foster Andrew is a very happy Pug guy.
He has a great appetite.
Plays well with the grumble.

Are you the one to lasso this cowboy?
Foster Allen is a one year old bundle of love!
He has lots of puppy energy and loves to play.
He is good with other animals (big dogs, small dogs and cats) and he adores children.
He crates well, loves toys and gives very sweet kisses.

He requests a family who will play with him but also give him lots of belly rubs!
Allen will go through heartworm treatment before he is ready for adoption, but he will be dreaming of his forever family in the meantime!
If you are looking for a young, active dog who would be great with kids, Allen is your guy!
What’s not to love!!

Boo is a young, handsome pug.
He’s 3 years old and healthy except for the heartworms.
He is currently going through his treatment so he will be actively looking for his new home in January.
I can’t say enough great things about Boo.
His eyes makes my heart melt every time he looks at me.
He’s extremely cuddly and loves to give kisses.
He’s a little on the thin side (well, a lot on the thin side) but he should start putting on weight now that he’s going to be rid of those darn heartworms.
There are a lot of pugs available for adoption and Boo should be at the very top of the list for anyone looking for the perfect boy.
This guy fits the bill 100% Foster Boo is very difficult to describe because he is the sweetest pug around.
He can melt your heart with one glance from those eyes.
He’s super quiet and calm.
All he wants in life is to sit on your lap, cuddle and give kisses.
Boo will be ready to find his home at the end of January and needs a place that isn’t too active and only wants a lap buddy.
He wouldn’t enjoy the activity of small children but will be great with older kids that will love on him.
This boy is definitely one to not be overlooked.
Pending adoption with Anne!

Bailey is a 9 year old female pug with great personality and sazzyness.
She loves to be with her humans and sleep by their bedside.
She gets along with her two foster siblings, but takes a while to warm up and doesn't like dogs in her face.
She's a bit alpha but I think is mostly because she's afraid the other dogs will knock her down because her back is weaker than the other dogs.
She gets along with my toddler, but I prefer if she goes to a calmer, more relaxed household where her humans can give her all the attention, petting and love that she likes.
She loves soft beds and blankets so we have several fluffy blankets spread throughout the house for her.
She is very spoiled so would like her forever home to continue this trend.
:-) She loves warm baths and getting pampered.
She loves getting picked up and place in the recliner with you.
Bailey has spondylosis and results in a different gait and some fecal incontinence.
However, her incontinence has improved significantly and she seems more aware of it now.
The accidents inside the house have been reduced significantly as well.
Her bladder infection was cured in April 2018 and she has been pretty healthy since then.
She eats Prescription Diet C/D for Urinary Health.
I also give her Dasuquin MS and a cranberry supplement to keep her healthy.
She goes up and down the stairs, which she didn't when we first got her in February 2018.
She goes potty outside by standing around the door and knows very well when meal times are.
She is smart, sweet, and a great companion.
I would love to see her relax at her forever home with lots of love and spoils.

Allister (6 years old) is as perfect as pugs come.
He never has accidents, takes himself through a dog door even in the rain.
He does not bark and he is the most chill pug I have ever seen.
He never destroyed anything in my house and he was in fact enjoying the same privileges as my own dogs week 2 of his stay with us because he adjusted so well.
He is super velcro though and will get up and follow his person everywhere.
If he's outside he has no interest in running off, he just wants to be with his people.
Unfortunately, Allister does have very narrow nasal turbinates which means his nose is more or less non-functional and basically just blows bubbles all the time.
He sleeps with a toy in his mouth to keep his airways open which is super smart and precious at the same time.
We do not know how this will affect him long term because this condition is very rare.
Since no surgery is currently an option for him and might not be for years depending on how the procedure evolves, he can be adopted out as special needs to a family that has a good understanding of dogs with medical needs.
He is on no medications currently and has shown no decline in the 6 months we have had him but we cannot predict the future for him.
I would ask you to consider this treasure of a dog despite his medical condition.
If I had any more room in my household, he would be the one I'd keep.
He is the sweetest, funniest most loyal little dog and deserves the best.

From his Fosters: Benny is a lively soul, he has the energy level of a full Puppy yet He still loves his cuddle time and sleeps in the bed with us.
He is real close on potty trained and manners.
He loves to play with toys and other pugs.
He is crate trained but will whine at first but quickly settles down.
He would be best with a brother or sister but could be curved if needed.
He will be difficult to se go.

Atlas comes to PugHearts with the weight of the world on his small shoulders.
He is about a year old and was taken to a local kill shelter by his owner.
Happily, we are here to help and the shelter contacted us right away.
From Atlas himself.
I have been told I am the comedian in my foster home because I make everyone laugh as they shout…”You’re such a silly boy Atlas!” I really don’t know what is so funny, I just like to play tug of war with a 73 pound furry friend and I always win!
At least that’s what always seems to happen but she might just be being nice to me since I am so handsome.
Or maybe it’s because every time I see a lonesome sock on the floor I pick it up and we become best friends and we run around the house together!
The little human kids that run around have these fun looking stuffed toys and I chase them around for fun and they make this high pitch laugh that just makes me happy!
There are little humans aged 4-11 in my foster home as well as two big dogs that I like to follow around and play with.
I have heard that I have a little spot on my right eye that the doctor looked at and said it’s healing nicely but I don’t really know what they are talking about because it doesn’t affect my vision at all.
I sleep nicely in a crate and don’t mind being in one if my foster mom needs to go somewhere.
My potty training is going really well, and the told me I only have one more star to earn to get my potty training certificate.
I am so excited about this because I have been told there will be treats involved when I receive the certificate!
I hope you would consider me for adoption as you are thinking of a fun loving and active 1 year old to add to you home.
I have lots of puppy energy and love to play!
I hope to meet you soon ~ Atlas.

Amos is an older Pug mix (Pug/Peke ?).
He comes to us from a local animal shelter.
Amos is a 9 year old Pug/Peke mix that is super cute.
He’s slightly vision impaired but he can see (has dry eye), just don’t expect him to read you the newspaper every morning J He’s a very sweet boy but it’s obvious he was never treated like a loved pet.
He likes to be pet but he’s not comfortable at all if I pick him up to be on the couch with me, he jumps down at his first opportunity.
That being said, he has made great strides in adapting.
He will actually come up to me to be pet now, and over the weekend I took a video of him playing with a toy for the first time.
He just needs someone to love him.
Amos has some funky back legs but he runs around and does just fine and he’s heartworm negative, YAH!!!
He will go in for his neuter and to have his teeth cleaned and be ready to find his forever home by the end of September.

Bryant is a young male that comes to PugHearts looking for a family to call his own.
Hi, I’m Bryant!
I am a two year old little dude, part pug/part gazelle according to my foster mom.

She loves to be near you at all times whether it is laying by your chair in the office, sleeping on your lap or following you around the house while you do chores.

Hurry up and adopt this sweet girl into your home.
Brian is a Pekineses guy that comes to PugHearts due to significant medical issues in his home.
He is happy, healthy and stunning!
Do not tell him he is not a pug, we are letting that fact go for now!
What can I say?
Just look at this picture!
OMG!!!
Brian is a 4 year old Peke that is probably the most beautiful Peke I have ever seen.
The coloring is perfection and once his hair grows out from the grooming he will be a ball of beautiful brown fur.
The hair on his tail is about 6” long so I think he’s going to have a long coat.
He is an owner surrender due to illness and the owner could no longer physically care for him so he’s been loved and cared for his entire life and will just slip right into the right family.
Brian is healthy, not one thing was uncovered at his checkup this week so he’s ready to find his forever home.
A Peke doesn’t have the same personality as a pug so you need to do your research before you decide you have to have him.
Brian doesn’t socialize with the other pugs, he’s a people dog.
He came in with Darren and he doesn’t even pay attention to him.
But I totally love him.
The right family is out there and he will make someone a very happy human.
Bernie is a senior pug gentleman from the El Paso area.
He is not feeling well, so he flew in to join PugHearts and see our fabulous vet to help him feel better.
Bernie just had his first taste of peanut butter.
He has a runny nose, so he got some Benadryl.
Boy is he happy!
Like any blind dog, it take a while to get comfy, but he’s starting to feel like he can trust his surroundings.
From Bernie’s foster: Bernie is the sweetest little pug man!
He loves to give kisses and is happiest when he is being cuddled.
When he arrived, it was found that he had a broken jaw, broken teeth, and a congenital spine abnormality.
He has since had a dental and a follow-up appointment on his jaw and everything is looking great!
He is scheduled for another appointment in October to determine if he will need surgery to correct the break but we are all hoping that it will not be necessary.
As far as his spine, he has had no problems running around!
He is playful and loves to be with his humans.
He is also completely housebroken.
The only obstacle he has faced has been becoming familiar with his environment.
He is blind (with one underdeveloped eye) but each day he grows more confident and is very responsive to our voices.
We are working on putting some weight on him so he can live up to his nickname, Little Biggs.
After his jaw is healed, he will be neutered and ready for his forever home.

I would like to introduce everyone to Foster Billy.
This guy is a heart-breaker, and it's my heart that he's going to break.
He's an owner surrender that I picked up on Tuesday night and I'm so in love with him.
He's 18 months old, heartworm negative and very healthy.
He is a Chug, with a heavy emphasis on Pug.
He's beyond sweet and loves to try to push me out of bed at night because he wants to be so close to me.
He's definitely not what you would expect of such a young guy as far as his activity level goes though, so far all he does is hang out with me and ignore the other dogs.
I'm sure once he adjusts he will start showing the playful side he has to have.
He will be neutered and then he's going to need a family to love him.
Beau is 8 years old and quite the dapper gentleman.
He’s an English pug but when his owner was going to return to England Beau couldn’t get a health certificate to accompany him.
He’s extremely overweight so I’m helping him find his slimmer figure.
Beau is not only beautiful on the outside, he’s beautiful inside as well.
He also has an ear infection that is being treated.
He is extremely well behaved and just wants to hang out with me.
He’s on a diet to lose several pounds so I hope when he trims down he will be able to run around and play.
But until then he will settle for giving you as many kisses as you can take.
Beau has dry eye that went untreated and he has some vision impairment.
He can see fairly well when it’s bright, but when the lighting is dim he has a slight problem.
But that being said, he has enough vision to get around just fine.
He will need eye drops for life but that’s a small thing to do for such a wonderful pug.
This guy is a total treasure and someone is going to be very lucky to be his new human.

So with medicated baths a few times a week and ear meds she is ready to find her new family.

She seems to be house trained and does well in a crate while I’m at work, but she seems to prefer to sleep in the bed with me at night versus the crate.
She has offered to play with me a few times but so far she just ignores the other fosters.
Buffy is a super sweet girl that didn’t have a very good home pre-PugHearts but from here on out she will be very pleased with how she’s treated.

He does play much more than he chills.
He’s a really good blend of behaviors for a guy his age.
No chewing either.
He will be ready for his new home after the first of the year with approved adopters.

He has some vision loss due to dry eye, but sees enough to get around easily and only needs eye drops twice a day to manage it.
He is mostly house trained and getting better every day since his neuter surgery at the end of November.
As he comes out of his shell, he is becoming quite the love bug and can't wait to find his furever home!

Ally is a sweet 5 year old girl that was found as stray in very rough condition.
A good samaritan found her, and stayed with her until PugHearts could come to the rescue.
Her name was Ally, so we decided it was only right to name her after her rescuer.
She comes to us with severe demodex mange which has caused her to lose most of her hair, and when she was found, her skin was leathery with scabs and sores.
It’s obvious that’s she’s been in this condition quite sometime, and before that spent most of her life in a cage, because she is gaining strength in her back legs everyday.
She’s a playful, loving, Velcro pug, and her personality is blossoming into a very happy and very sassy pug.
It’s clear that she’s had several litters, and once her skin is clear, she will be scheduled for her spay and entropion surgery.
Ally is a talker, and will let you know how happy she is that you’re home!
Her skin is so much softer and when her hair grows back, she’s going to have the most gorgeous apricot coat.

He loves to run in the yard, walks fairly well on a lead, and in typical pug form, is very friendly with everyone.
He crates quietly and sleeps through the night.
Since we don't know his prior living circumstances, he will need guidance with house manners.
Sadly, he did not receive monthly preventatives, so now must endure heart worm treatment, followed by a month of crate rest, making him home ready in May.
He will make a most cheerful, sturdy playmate for other bigger dogs and kids.
Follow his Facebook posts and updates.

Hello, Ladies.
My name is Bruce.
#phBruce.
I am a Single Male Pug looking for my furever life partner.
I like long walks in the park.
And I mean really long walks.
Bring a tent.
I love food.
I will gladly eat anything you don’t.
I love to snuggle once I have been worn out, which takes a lot.
I am high energy.
I get along great with children and other dogs.
I don’t know any cats so I have no idea what I would do around them.
I love to play so much I rarely do anything else.
I will bring you all the joy you deserve.
I have my man surgery (neutering) on May 1st and will be ready shortly after.
Introducing Edgar Allen Pug.
#phAllen.
From the same source I have not taken My sorrow—I could not awaken My heart to joy at the same tone— And all I lov’d—I lov’d alone— Alone by Edgar Allen Poe This handsome man is house trained and crate trained.
Great with kids and other dogs.
He will be available sometime after May 3rd.
He is super skinny and needs to gain about 4 pounds.
He had a tape worm but has been treated and is eating all the things.
He was found by a dumpster.
He is a perfect gentleman.
He is about 6 years old.
Very sweet and loving.
He doesn’t jump on furniture.
I don’t think he can.
He seems a little stiff in the rear and his back hunches a bit.
He is completely potty trained.
He's only had a couple of accidents but they were right by the door to the outside.
I am sure he will recite all of his poems for you.
Foster Brynn came to PugHearts when she was 5 weeks old and in dire need of medical attention.
She had horrible skin and both of her eyes were ruptured.
We have no idea what happened to her but it didn’t matter anymore because she was going to be cared for.
She had both of her eyes removed and has been going nonstop since.
We think she’s a Chug and she’s 7 months old now.
The odds that Brynn remembers being able to see are slim to none so she didn’t notice anything was different except the pain was gone.
She plays like a maniac with all the other fosters, runs around the house and loves to throw the cow hooves around and chase them when they make noise landing on the tile floor.
In short, Brynn doesn’t know she can’t see and acts just like any other pug.
When they lose one sense the others take over for that loss.
She loves to cuddle on my lap and act like she’s a baby again.
Or she curls up on my shoulder just like she did 5 months ago, the only difference is she doesn’t fit as good as she did back then.
She can’t go to a home with a pool for obvious reasons, but that’s the only limitation for her placement.
What I want for Brynn…I want someone to love her for how great she is and treat her like the normal pug she is.
That’s it.
If you think Brynn could be the one for you just let us know.
Betty comes to us as an owner surrender.
At 14 weeks old, she is fun loving, full of snuggles and gives her sister, Wilma a run for her money.
Betty has a sweet temperament, but don’t let that fool you because she has a mischievous side as well.
She is the perfect lap dog and prefers to be held.
She is great with children and other pets.
She constantly plays with our German Shepherd mix who is 20 times her size.
Betty has no fear.
Pending Adoption!
This snuggly pug comes with an extra licky feature.
She will follow you everywhere and will melt all over you the minute you pet her.
She also loves to play and really likes chewing on knuckles.
She is mostly house trained, definitely crate trained and spoiled rotten.
She expects to be the princess.
She is also very possessive.
She barks at everyone that comes in the room with the exception of my youngest and my husband.
She is exponentially precious.
Everyone welcome Blaine!
Blaine is an owner surrender, 5 yrs old, neutered, heart worm negative healthy love muffin.
He weighs 27 pounds-all muscle- and his coat is velvety soft.
He is scheduled for a dental and nares on 6/14/19 then will be ready for his furever home.
He has the biggest pug head I’ve ever seen.
Blaine sits on command, waits to be given a treat, is NOT food or toy aggressive, and gets along dogs and cats.
Currently we are working on marking-wears a belly band during the day.
As reported in the Wall Street Journal, Blaine comes from money, went to all the right schools, and has never worked.
That all changed when his father was convicted of running a ponzi scheme and Blaine ended up in a homeless shelter.
If you can support Blaine in the lifestyle he is accustomed to please submit your applications now.
#phadoptme, #pughearts
Bernie is an 4 year old male.
Boomer is a 1 year old black male.
He is heartworm negative and scheduled to be neutered.
Boomer is a pug lover's unicorn.
He is young, 1 year old, housebroken, good in the crate, well-mannered, and just the right amount of puppy.
He is very affectionate, gets along well with the other dogs, likes to be near his humans, and is obedient.
He is healthy, and he will be ready for adoption after his neuter in early June.
This beautiful boy is the sole survivor from his mom's, Adira, difficult birth.
He was born into our rescue in March.
He is precious and precocious.
Adoption pending.
Braxton is a young male that comes to PugHearts looking for a safe and loving place to call home.
And here is Braxton!!!
Braxton is a very active one-year-old with a heart’s desire to play, play and them play some more.
He loves to play chase around the house with his foster brothers.
He loves to chew and nibble on his foster mother’s fingers and ears.
He is a small pug with a butterscotch coat and a very sweet curly tail.
He is a great companion, but will be best suited in an active home.
He will adjust to being an only dog, but I think he would prefer a partner in crime.
He would be good with children and other dogs.
He is improving his house behaviors to the point where I can leave him alone in the house without a crate for a few hours.
His potty training skills are getting better every day.
He is heartworm positive, so we will be blessed with him for a little longer, but he will be worth the wait.
Aaron Franklin comes to PugHearts with broken legs on the left front and left rear legs, as well as several pelvic fractures.
While we are not sure how they happened, we know that at 10 weeks, he is too young to have had to endure that much pain already.
The vet has done surgery and placed plates on the bones in both legs and we are hopeful that he will have a great recovery and bright future.
Bryce, the hunky, velvety senior gentleman has come a long way during his time with PugHearts.
He successfully battled a pretty severe case of heartworms, and more importantly, he’s learned what being a loved pug is all about!
The verdict is in- he likes it!
Bryce enjoys snuggling on a comfy bed, but also does well in a crate.
He gets along well with other dogs and doesn’t really pay attention to the feline sort.
Bryce has limited sight & hearing, but it doesn’t slow him down at all.
He is an older gentleman, at 10, so has a couple of “old man” problems that he takes medicine for, but other than that, he still has lot of love to give!
Benjamin is a 2-year-old adorable little Black Male.
He has had all his shots and will soon be neutered.
He is kennel trained and working on house training.
He currently is being treated for allergic dermatitis most likely from fleas.
He is small, weighing only 14 pounds, but has a good appetite so should fill in a bit.
He has an adorable under bite and a tongue that usually hangs out of his mouth.
He plays some, but mostly likes to find a quiet place to nap.
He snuggles with any one available.
He has a slight limp and will be x-rayed during his neuter in order to determine the cause.
He loves small children and pays little attention to the cat, (though he would probably try to snuggle with him if he could).
I think Benjamin would love to have a snuggle buddy in his new home but would probably do OK without one as long as he had plenty of human loving!
Benjamin was owner surrendered through no fault of his own.
He came with his gal pal Mirabel, but at this time we do not think that they are bonded.
This laid back, 7 yr old gentleman loves to cuddle and hang out near his human.
He does great with other dogs and a cat but wouldn't mind being an only pug either.
He enjoys investigating the outdoors but prefers couches and dog beds.
Kinda a picky eater, but bring out the liverwurst and he'll come running.Bernie is heartworm positive and will need to go through heartworm treatment prior to being adopted.
Barry Cute.
Barry Sweet.
Barry Happy!
Sweetest 2 year old chug came to PugHearts when he was rescued from a local animal shelter, but they could not keep him.

While Betty Ann was frightened of everything when she first came to us, she has blossomed into a loving little lap dog.
She loves her people and she does well with dogs and loves to play with them!
Betty Ann is 7 years old and heartworm negative.
She loves to sleep next to her human, crates well and has excellent potty habits.
Betty Ann is a little gem.
Please consider her for your family!
Brandi is a sweet 4 year old female.
She comes from a very loving home where she unfortunately didn't get along with a big dog.
We have since exposed her to some other larger dogs and it is definitely a no on her part.
She is wonderful with children, cats and dogs her size or smaller (she is in a foster home with 4 other pugs and loves everyone).
Brandi is potty trained, crate trained and knows sit.
She is cute as a button and makes the biggest eyes when she begs, lol.
She is not food or toy aggressive and overall, she's been a huge joy to foster.
One of the easiest pups we've had the pleasure to meet.
Hello Everyone!
My name is Alton.
I don’t know much about my life before being rescued by PugHearts other than I was picked up as a stray in Louisiana and taken to a high kill shelter.
Thank goodness for PugHearts, they tagged me for rescue and I was out of there within an hour!
I traveled with some nice lady to her house for a few days and then on to another ladies house in Houston for a couple more days until I could be seen by our wonderful PugHearts vet Dr. Hendrix.
The ladies that kept me said that I have an old soul whatever that means because I was so calm and relaxed.
Dr. Hendrix says I am about 4 years old, have nasty heartworms and I can’t breath too well right now cause I need my soft pallet fixed, not sure what that all involves other than I know I will soon be able to breath much better.
Now back to that old soul business, I’m now living with my foster family and I’m not sure about being an old soul, foster Mom called it my honeymoon phase, cause I like to make zoomies and run all around the house, I LOVE chewing on Nylabones, and rough housing with my foster siblings.
I do get to sleep in the big bed with everyone and I love to cuddle up next to my human or next to one of my foster sibs.
I won’t be ready for adoption for quite some time because I have to get rid of the those nasty heartworms first, but if you want to follow me along on my journey, you can find foster Mom posting about me on the PugHearts Facebook page.
Foster Bryant is a brand new 18 month old black male owner surrender.
He is quite possibly the shiniest, blackest black I've seen.
We are treating skin issues and a UTI.
He will be home ready after his neuter 8/26/19.
Bryant needs lots of moral support communing with other dogs (right now fearful), and also with potty and house manners.
He is still a puppy, and appears he was not socialized at all.
Being one of 7 here, help is imminent.
He is also not particularly fond of the crate or car rides, but I expect the newness of being in PugHearts to wear off and our routine to become customary and accepted.
I'll post more as I get to know him; as with all our dogs, the best way to follow their progress is via Facebook and Instagram.
Foster Brandon is pure Pug Awesomeness packed into the cutest little body!
He comes to PugHearts at no fault of his own, sadly due to a change in his family’s living situation.
Brandon has had no accidents, loves attention, knows the sit command, and loves to be around people of all ages - he will follow you everywhere!
He is fantastic with children, loves to cuddle on the couch, and will curl up and sleep right next to you all night long.
Brandon is an expert snorer, and has the perfect little nose folds that make his face even more adorable...if that’s even possible!
And he loves to give lots of kisses too!
Brandon gets along well with other dogs, his personality is truly Pug-perfection!
Brandon is HW-, and only 18 months old.
He is currently on antibiotics to cure some skin conditions, but will be fine once completed.
His new family will just need to make sure to keep his nose folds clean to prevent any future skin issues.
I cannot say enough about this handsome little Pug!
Brandon is truly one of a kind, he will capture your heart the instant you meet him!
Hello all, this is Bull.
He is a 2 year old, heartworm negative, very sweet and loves to cuddling with you at all times; like glue!
Everywhere I go, he is eagerly following expecting hugs and petting, and really enjoys it.
He loves to go outside and have walks, but he is slightly overweight ~40 lbs.
needing to drop down to ~35 lbs.
and recommend small distance walks in the early morning and late evenings.
He is very playful, loves to chew on small antlers, but cannot say how he is with children.
He hasn't made any mess or marks inside, but be careful about his diet.
When taking a bath, he is very tamed and does not try to run away like other pugs, very good!
One thing may be worried is he tends to jump onto couches and beds.
We try to avoid him doing that for long-term avoidance of leg problems and we're working to get him use stairs.
He is ready to find a new home and will tremendously miss him!
Bethany is a 6 year old fawn female that was turned in to a shelter with a severe eye injury that had been left untreated for quite some time.
Poor thing was in severe pain.
Luckily the shelter called us immediately, and we had her eye removed, with pain medications and antibiotics administered within days.
Bethany is a total sweetheart.
She is tiny, weighing in at only 13 lbs.
She gets along fine with other dogs and children, but would be perfectly OK with being the only child.
She wants nothing more than to be napping in your lap, and loves sleeping on the pillow next to her person in the big bed at night.
Perfect pug kisses are Bethany’s specialty.
If you are looking for a Velcro-Pug, she is definitely your girl.
Bethany spins in circles, barking and whining whenever she’s excited, and it really is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen.

Despite all this, he's maintained the sweetest, quietest spirit.
He is crate trained, and as yet has zero interest in toys or playing with other pugs.
He's substantially vision impaired in his remaining eye, but gets around well and fearlessly.
He'll be neutered late December, then endure the remainder of our heart worm treatment process.

Boscoe is a 1 yr old heartworm negative male pug mix.
Boscoe is ridiculously smart.
I have had a lot of dogs, fostered and rescued as well... over the years- so I have experienced a good sample of the spectrum of canine intelligence.
He is crazy smart.
He can figure out how to solve problems and thinks outside of the canine box....lol.... also, he learns things immediately.
It's very impressive, indeed.
Hi my name is Vito aka Bullit.
I am the cutest little pug/boston mix, weighing in at a whopping 10lbs.
I am 10 wks old and I was brought to the vet when I was only 8 wks old and 8lbs.
PugHearts Rescue saved me from a shelter in The Valley and got me my first set of shots and got my little upper respiratory infection taken care of.
I am a healthy little guy with a lot of personality.
Every time I yawn I make the cutest little noise and I like to sleep on my new daddy and mommy's neck.
I have a big brother now and his name is Capone.
My big brother is teaching me all the rules of the house and is very patient with me.
He taught me to use the bathroom outside and I am perfecting my sit and shake.
I love to eat, play and sleep and I am a pro at all three.
I can't wait to get my big boy shots so that I may go to the park one day with my big brother.

Ambrose is eager to please his humans and is working hard on mastering potty training.
He’s learned how to access the yard through the doggie door and knows that’s where he needs to do his business.
Ambrose is an enthusiastic eater and loves to play with his foster brothers cuddle on the couch.
He runs on one speed - super fast - but crashes out for nap time just as quickly.
Ambrose is heading to his forever home as soon as he gets his last round of vaccinations and his new daddy and pug brother are so excited to welcome him home.

She is a petite little girl at about 12 lbs, housebroken, gets along with other dogs and cats.
She is spry and likes to explore outside.
Her eyesight is dwindling, but not blind, and has some hip dysplasia, but she doesn’t seem to be bothered by it.

Bentley is a solid fawn pug.
He's 2years old.
He does have a seizure disorder and will need medication for life but they are small seizures that he has by closing his eyes and appears to be backing up, which last from 10-30 seconds.
If you notice he is having a seizure, you gently touch him for comfort and he does respond to touch.
He will snap right out of a seizure like nothing happened.
He will be needing to have occasional blood levels checks of his seizure medication to make sure he is getting proper levels of medications.
He takes his medication twice a day (Every 12 hours) with his meal (I wrap in liverwurst).
He is learning and slowly accepting snuggles and cuddling.
He can sleep in a crate or a doggy bed.
He is very playful wanting to play tug a war and finds squeaky toys very interesting.
He loves to follow his human.

You may have noticed Bailleaux is not exacly a pug and you'd be right.
He is a 2 year old frenchie who was found on the street having surious issues breathing.
His journey with us started at an ER in an oxygen chamber but he has since had a soft palate surgery and a nares surgery and can breathe beautifully.
You should see the joy in his eyes now!
He did a complete 180 and from a guy who'd barely move he turned into a miniature bucking bull.
He loves to run around and play with other dogs so he would have a blast with another youngster.
He's giving his old foster brothers a run for their money, haha.
He does have some asymptomatic vertebral issues we are currently looking into and unfortunately he is heartworm positive.
His potty traning is a work in progress but he has improved tremendously.
Now that he is neutered we expect him to master this skill in a few short weeks.
Bailleaux is beautiful and SO SO HAPPY.
I have never seen a happier dog in my life.
He loves everyone and everything and he's never met a stranger.
He knows sit, is perfectly crate trained and will let you sleep in.
I am yet to hear him make a peep, not a talker or a yapper.
He does have a mind of a distracted toddler.
During meal times I have to stand over him because he will run off and then happily watch other dogs eat his food, haha.
This sweet goober will be ready for adoption after his heartworm treatment in May.
Booker came to Pughearts at 8 weeks old.
Once his family understood the time and energy it took to train a pug puppy, they made the decision that surrendering him to PugHearts would be in his best interest.

He loves playing with squeaky toys and chasing his foster siblings around the yard.
Booker is working on his house training skills and is currently doing great using the grass or the puddle path.

Foster Bugg comes to us after a tragic death in the family.
He was adored and you can tell because he is just the sweetest boy.
Absolutely potty trained and within 2 days figured out that sleeping in a crate was ok though bed would be his preference.
He is a boston terrier pug mix and definitely on the large side - he is tall and 29lbs is his ideal weight.
I am so happy to say that Bugg stayed in foster care for all about a week.
He found the perfect home where he has a huge yard to run in, a doggy door to allow him to enjoy the sunshine any time and he has taken over the human bed.
While he was sad and confused after he came to us, he lit up as soon as he met his new dad, they both needed each other.
Happy life sweet boy!

Adira is an absolutely stunning 7 year old black nugget who came to PugHearts after she was abandoned in apartment.
Yes really.
She is the squarest (and I do mean CUBED) little chunk I have ever fostered and is the deepest, shiny black.
She has an especially stubby tail, which curls perfectly, despite its shortness.
Her head is huge, flat, and expressive.
She's a little timid yet, but I look forward to her personality revelation.
She navigates the yard seamlessly by the feel of the grass on her feet.
I've lived with blind pugs for years.
They really can thrive and have joyful, long lives.
Adira will count on her person to be her eyes.
As is typical for many new intakes, Adira is heart worm positive, so will be with us a few months, giving more opportunity to know and love her.
She has mild arthritis in her back we are treating with medication, which she'll likely continue.
She is totally blind; eyes injured beyond repair and scheduled to be surgically removed when she is spayed.
Meantime, she gets daily drops to keep her comfortable.
In true pug form, she eats like a hungry alligator.
Otherwise, she's very quiet in the car and crate and loves to be held.
She's had a full spa day, lots of kisses and pets, a savory meal, and now sleeps in a clean, safe bed.
I dream for her great things.

Please welcome Foster Bryce (about 3 years old) to PugHearts.
He was hit by a car earlier this week and, miraculously, escaped with only some bloody paws and scratches.
Sadly, he is heartworm positive so treatment awaits.
Yesterday evening when I picked him up from the vet, he was so scared and stiff-legged that I couldn’t get a regular harness on him, he wouldn’t bed his legs at all (Joyride harnesses for the win), you couldn’t see his tail it was so tucked under, and he cowered if I tried to touch him.
Within a few hours, and with the help of our own dogs, he started to come out of his shell a bit and this morning he’s coming up to me for some pets on his head.
His tail is still down and he’s still unsure of everything, but his little heart is healing and he’s starting to trust.

In just 2 days he knows where the water bowl, food bowl and back door are.
He is learning his way back to his crate when it is time for a rest from his adventures.
He does very well in his crate and sleeps in it through the night.
He gets excited when he hears dinner being prepared and gives a few barks to let you know he knows something good is coming his way.
He seems to be house broken.
He gets along well with my other dog and is not bothered by the cat.
He spent the day with the grand daughters loving on him and he is great on a leash!!
He seems to have some hearing loss, although he can hear the dinner bell!!
Unfortunately, Boomer came to us with every worm imaginable - tapeworms, hookworms and of course heartworms so he will be with us for a while until his treatments are completed.

Everything changed for her when an amazing rescue in China saved her life and started working with American rescues to get her out.
She was one of the 21 pugs brought over by PugHearts in early January of 2021.
Despite her rough life her spirit is not broken in the slightest.
She loves toys, other dogs but above all her humans.
We call her happy bunny because she has the softest fur I have ever felt and she just hops around happily all day.
Because this is her first experience of ever being in a house we are working on potty training but to our absolute delight she loves her crate and never has an accident in it.
As far as her health is concerned, she came to us with a UTI and some fold dermatitis but both are resolving nicely.
She does have dry eyes and will need drops for life.
She has some mild vision impairment but gets around just fine.
Her paws are deformed forever from living in a crate with no bottom so they appear swollen all the time, not that it stops her from hopping.
She does have luxating patellas in both her back legs so she is a bit bow legged, it honestly just adds to her charm.
She will need her nares and soft palate corrected which is scheduled for February 16th.
Once that is completed, this girl is ready for the one last move, to a home that will love her until the end of her days.
Whoever ends up with this sunshine of a girl will have something truly special.
Until then we will love on her a little extra to try to make up for what she's been through.
Alana is a 5 year old, 11 lb.
girl full of sweetness.
She traveled all the way from China to find her forever home.
She loves to be held and prefers a human lap over a dog bed any day.
She is quiet but is showing more and more personality every day.
She loves toys, especially toys she can chew on.
She gets along with other dogs but really loves her space.
She is working on potty training but still does not trust grass.
She will get her nares and possible soft palate done on 2/11.
She loves to sleep curled beside you in the big bed and follow you around everywhere.
She is a very loving velcro little girl.
Pending Adoption!
Introducing Foster Bonita.
This sweet girl comes to us all the way from China!
She is a lovely little fawn female who is 5 years old and weighs about 15 pounds.
She is doing well for all that she has been through.
She loves FOOD, snuggles, FOOD, napping, playing, FOOD, treats, attention and FOOD!
She is not yet house broken, but is trying hard to get the hang of it.
She does not seem terribly interested in stuffed toys, but absolutely loves playing with a squeaky ball!
We are working on house manners, potty training and recognizing her new name.
She is extremely sweet and good natured and full of pug love.
Please give a big PugHearts welcome to beautiful Amia.
Amia is one of the more recent Pugs to make her way to Houston, all the way from China, and she is now learning to live the life she was always meant to have!
She loves sleeping in the big bed with her foster family, she loves running around the yard with her new Pug friends, and she is learning how to play with squeaky toys and chewy bones, all of which are completely new to her, but she is loving every moment of it.
But most of all, Amia is learning how to be loved and is loving every minute of it, and loving all the attention!
She will sleep in your arms, and will sleep curled up next to you.
She is truly a velcro Pug that loves to follow her foster family around the house.
Amia is great with children, does great with other dogs, and is just as sweet as they come!
She is still working on her potty skills, but I am certain she'll have that down in no time.
Amia is scheduled for dental surgery at the end of January, and will be ready for her forever home shortly thereafter.
If you are interested in Amia, please be sure to submit an application as this little sweetheart can't wait to find her very own happily "furever" after.

Bash, age 4, is one half of the dynamic duo Fiona & Bash.
He is a sweet guy who loves a good belly rub, runs to his crate when prompted and sits for treats.
He loves his mate Fiona and does not mind one bit if she gets most of the attention.
He gets a little anxious when Fiona is out of his sight, and being the good mate that he is, will constantly check to make sure she is okay.
Bash is neutered, mostly housetrained, and healthy - no medications required.
Bash and his mate Fiona 4 are very bonded and must be adopted together, which means double the cuteness for their forever family!

Beatrice is a 4 y/o girl that came from China along with other 20+ friends escaping the meat trade market life.
She is working on learning to trust people again.
Before she would spend whole days bunkered down under a table in a corner of the house.
We can tell that once we earn her trust she will be a spunky playful trouble maker looking for cuddles.
She gets along with other dogs, eats like a champ and already loves playing with toys and running around.
Beatrice has a couple health issues she’s getting over before being available for adoption such as a respiratory and dental.
She also has a little bit of visual impairment but she gets around mostly fine.
She is beautiful, has a perfect curly pug tail and is already looking for her forever family.
Fill your adoption form today and make her life complete!
Welcome one of our newest international pugs.
Blythe is a beautiful 5 year old that was part of our 49 pugs from China.
Blythe loves human touch and melts in your arms when you hold her.
She is very submissive, I call her Beethoven when she comes to be picked up because she always rolls over on her back.
She gets along great with the other pugs in our grumble and starting to discover stuffed toys!
She has hernia and nares surgery in early May and once given the ok she will be going to her furever home to become a beach babe in Galveston!
Allegra is a 4 year old female and is proud to call herself a China pug!
Although we will update her bio as she settles in her personality continues to emerge, she is very sweet and affectionate.
She doesn't initiate play with other dogs, but she is starting to play when they initiate it with her.
Some of her favorite things are toys with squeakers, meal time, and snuggle time with her humans.
She is good with kids.
She crates well.
We are working on potty training, and while she is already improving after just a couple of weeks, due to her background, we expect it will be several more weeks before she is fully housetrained.
She is not yet available due to some medical issues, but she should be medically cleared for adoption in a few more weeks.
This little girl is happy, sweet and cute!
Foster Aida completed her intake exam and unfortunately she has a little bit of a laundry list of issues, but none that we can’t get fixed up for her I don’t think!
She’s got a couple of different skin infections in her ears and feet going on, stenotic nares, entropion, luxating patellas, saccharo (causing diarrhea).
Which all sounds bad, but it’s all fixable or easily manageable!
She will have surgery at the end of April for her nares and entropion and will be on medications for the next couple weeks to take care of the various infections.
The luxating patellas don’t seem to slow her down one bit so we will start a joint supplement and hopefully that will also help her feel her best!
I would imagine she will be ready for her new home in early May!
Please welcome to PugHearts.
She is one of the magnificent 25 who made their way from China to Houston last night!
Alisa will have her intake soon, but as you can see, she clearly needs to put in some weight.
She has some skin issues that will be addressed, and from what I can assess, she is sight impaired.
However, don’t let that fool you as she’s already mastered the doggie door!
Hi, I’m Alisa.
I’m about 3 years old and I am from China.
I am underweight currently my FoMo says and I am just under 12 lbs.
Not really sure what that is, but I do get extra food.
I really love to play with toys.
The squeaky ones are really nice.
I will soon be looking for my forever home so get your application in.
Aleeza is a dream!
She traveled here from China.
She is a happy, happy girl.
She loves her humans.
Being in your lap and giving her belly rubs and/or back or head scratching will earn you lots of kisses from Aleeza.
She is potty trained and crate trained.
She sleeps all night in a covered crate without a peep.
She uses doggie stairs to get on the couch with you, or she will jump up on the couch with ease.
She was trying to go from the couch to climb on top of the lamp table to discover “interesting” things and so I cleaned off the table and moved it farther from the couch and the problem was solved.
I’m home most of the time but when I do leave I trust her to roam free in the kitchen and living room area.
Oh yeah, she is a winky as she is missing her left eye, but that does not deter her at all.
So far, she has not paid any attention to the resident dogs but is very playful with humans.
She likes to chew on a hard plastic wishbone and the occasional greenie.
She is close to being perfect and is the fluffiest, cutest Pug ever!
Ambrosia is a sweet and sassy 1 year old who is heart worm negative.
She gets along with other dogs and even the cat!
We are treating her mange and awaiting her spay and then she will be ready for her fur ever home.
She does not like the crate and will be very vocal about it but she eventually settles down.
She prefers to sleep in the bed, under the covers, and at your feet but she is working on crate training for sleep.
She is looking for someone who has the time, patience, energy, and love.
Are you the one?
We are so fortunate to have bonded pair Bruce and Precious join our rescue.

She belly-ups for pets every time you sit down.
No need to pick her up either, she jumps right into your lap.
They are very bonded and must be adopted together.
Get those apps.
in!
Welcome foster Brian!
He is a very beautiful one year old and I am pretty sure he has some Boston in him because he is a very tall boy.
He is very energetic and really needs a nice backyard and walks to burn off some of that puppy energy.
Oh and did I mention house broken!
He is not a marker!!
Even more exciting news is he is READY NOW to find his forever home!
!
Arthur is a gorgeous 4-year-old fawn male.
He came to PugHearts with his bonded friend, Abigail.
Arthur is a very happy fellow who loves his people.
His favorite place is next to his person.
Arthur is crate and house trained!
When he can’t be next to his person, he is snuggling with his gal pal, Abigail.
This guy is pending at this time.
Abigail is a gorgeous 4-year-old black female.
She came to PugHearts with her bonded friend, Arthur.
She is a happy girl and gets along with all the other dogs at her foster home.
Abigail is kennel and crate trained.
She loves napping by her person or next to her pal, Arthur.
This girl is pending at this time.
Bowie is 1 year old, and as you can imagine, he has the energy of a puppy.
He loves to play with other dogs, wrestle, and chase.
He would do great in a home with a playmate or a family that is willing to help him exert his energy.
He is a bit of a wild man right now, but he is learning boundaries.
For example, he likes to playfully bite, but doesn't understand when to stop.
He has also growled and tried to bite me when I have picked him up, We are working on teaching him his place in the pack, and he is already showing big signs of improvement.
He is playing more gently and listening better.
He does and doesn't do well in his crate.
At night, he does great.
I put him to bed with a Kong filled with a little bit of peanut butter and a treat inside.
During the day, he is not as good and tends to bark and growl at dogs passing by his space.
To combat this, we are feeding him in the kennel, giving treats in the kennel, and the Kong in the kennel, all to help him associate the kennel with positive experiences in hopes that he will learn to love it every time.
BIG PLUS is that he is housetrained!
He also loves to go outside, he likes toys sometimes and your shoes other times.
He does this suckling thing that is so adorable.
You can even hear making cute little sounds.
Due to his biting, it is best if he goes to a family with older kids, or no kids.
While he is improving every day, it is the safest decision.
He needs consistency and a strong pack leader.
I am certain that in no time, he will be the perfect young pug.
True to his name, Angelo is really an angel but he despite his sweetness, he didn't always have it easy in life.
Angelo is a stray from Laredo area.
He earned himself a nickname "Sal's pizza dog" because he could be seen there begging for food most days.
Countless unsuccessful attempts were made to catch him until finally one day a local rescuer did it.
We were promptly contacted and transported this stinky, mangy, skinny boy with many bleeding wounds.
While his skin will take months to look better, his spirit picked up on the new lifestyle pretty quick.
For the first few days he wouldn't lay on anything but tile but once he discovered the couch there was no going back!
Despite not being neutered, Angelo was respectful in the home and did all his business outside (he even taught himself to use the dog door!).
Within about 3 minutes he figured out the sit command and stay followed shortly after.
He is not food or toy possessive, rarely barks and gets along with absolutely everybody.
Anyone would be absolutely blessed to take this kind, old soul in a 2 year old body.
Please welcome sweet little Blake to PugHearts!
And can we just take a moment and swoon at his cuteness!
Blake is a 5 month old puppy who was abandoned by his owners, so we don’t know much about his past.
He was actually inside of a box when we picked him up.
Blake is heart worm negative, is very active, and did I mention super cute?
Blake is a petite little guy, tipping the scales at a mere 9 pounds!
Blake is scheduled for his neuter next month and will be available shortly thereafter.
His case is a little different than most typical neuters as his testicles never descended.
So his surgery is more similar to a spay, which will require a 14 day healing time.
But please don’t let that stop you from applying for this cutie pie as this type of surgery is fairly common and presents no future health issues.
Blake loves playing with his foster fur family, doing zoomies in the backyard, and loves people of all ages.
We will continue to work on his potty skills because after all, he’s still a baby.
Considering he was abandoned, he is just as happy as any other Pug puppy.
This sweet little guy certainly deserves his “happily furever after” Welcome to PugHearts Blake, we are so glad you’re here!
Meet Foster Blaze.
He is an older, very distinguished gentleman.
And I mean gentleman.
We aged him at nine years old, heartworm negative, freshly neutered, and updated shots.
He has not had one single accident in the house, sleeps the deep sleep of safety and rescue, and loves his people.
Other dogs don’t impress him but he is amazing in our grumble.
Oh, and he had the best cinnamon bun tail.
Blaze goes in early June for his dental and he will be ready for adoption after that.
He is a absolute dream of a pug.
Andrea is a 1 yr old, heartworm negative female.
She is schedule for her spay in June and will be ready to go at that time.
She is a perfect house guest and has learned the doggy door quickly and has impeccable house manners.

She is incredibly friendly and loves to play with hoomans and other dogs.
She has a lot of energy since she’s young and also has the kindest heart.

Arnie (under a year of age) comes to us as an owenr surrender after he stopped eating and drinking but not before he looked like a skeleton.
Medical bills can sometimes become too much and the rescue is here to help in such cases.
However, to wait until Arnie barely clung to life is unforgivable neglect that almost cost him everything.
Arnie had an obstruction in his stomach, a cloth of some sort, and several tears in his intestines which have been leaking into his body.
He went through surgery to remove the obstruction and sadly, some of his damaged intestines had to be removed as well.
It is an absolute miracle he didn’t become septic and that he lived through the surgery considering how long it’s been and how malnourished he was.
We thought all would hopefully improve but sadly, life threw more hurdle's Arnie's way.
He is quite deformed from birth with pigeon chest and kyphosis in his back.
He went through short period of seizures that have now gone away but he continued to experience random episodes of lethargy.
This led us to look closer at his liver and sure enough, his numbers are off the chart.
At this point we suspect a liver shunt but need to get him to be stronger before we continue to explore surgical options.
Arnie is currently on medication, finally eating and gaining strength.
He will need lots of positive thoughts and donations.
No amount is too small!!
Arnie is on medical hold.
PENDING ADOPTION!

He has already been neutered and is heart worm negative, so he will be ready to adopt very soon.
Adam is a Winky, which means he lost one of his eyes.

He like toys and following his foster mom around.
He gets along with the other dogs in the house so far but doesn’t back off when challenged.
Adam is learning that he can’t steal your shoes while you’re wearing them or pull your shorts right off your body.

He does the little back kick after going potty outside!
He also will stand under the hose to cool off.

Aria is a great companion who comes to us from the valley.
She has been a breeder, but thankfully she never has to go thru that again.
Aria is a tiny gentle soul who wants nothing more than to follow her forever family every where they go!!
She is a timid love that warms up quickly.

Please consider this sweet girl.
She deserves nothing but love!
!
Foster Angel is a beautiful girl!
She is about 9 years old and overall fairly healthy!
She came into PugHearts when her owner passed away recently.
As a result she’s pretty shy and unsure of her surroundings, but coming out of her shell more and more every day!
So I have no doubt she will do excellent in a new loving home.
Angel will get her nares done and boosters at the beginning of September and then she will be ready for her forever home.
Angel is both cat and dog friendly and can even navigate stairs pretty well!
Anakin is part of the #phstarwarspuppies and was surrendered to us with his 3 other siblings at 5 weeks old from a breeder that was unable to care for them.
Anakin and his 3 siblings were rushed to our Emergency Clinic and were treated very aggressively for a respiratory infection usually associated with unvaccinated animals in the hose.
Unfortunately Anakin’s brother Luke was the only one to not survive.
Anakin and his siblings are thriving in their foster home, with no hint of the issues of the past.
Anakin is perfect.
He is so sweet, and so attentive.
He watches me and the other dogs in the house so closely and has started mastering the perfect head tilt.
He is puddle pad trained, but will still have an occasional accident.
He does great running in the grass to use the bathroom.
Anakin is on Natural Balance Limited Ingredient Diet of Salmon and Rice, and eats dry food with warm water added.
He sleeps through the night in the crate with his siblings and never has an accident overnight.
He loves being outside, playing with toys and tormenting his older siblings.
Puppies like Anakin are adorable, but with comes lots of work.
Make sure you understand the importance of a schedule if thinking of adopting a puppy.
Anakin will be neutered and more than like have nares, palate and an umbilical hernia repair, as well as all vaccinations prior to adoption.
Austin is perhaps the most handsome dog we have ever fostered, all dashing with his square head and his apricot coat.
Austin is 5 years old.
He was previously used for breeding and to say he came unprepared for living in a home would be an understatement.
Austin was absolutely obsessed with any and every dog, wanting to hump and mark seemed to be his only interests and he would continue to be too distracted even to eat.
This was most definitely a concern since he came to us rather underweight.
Over the several weeks he has spent with us, his obsessive behaviors slowly disappeared and a brilliant dog emerged.
Austin is incredibly smart and a fast learner.
He knows sit, lay down, wait and dance (to which he will twirl on his back legs).
He has stopped marking everywhere and learned to use the dog door.
He will be ready for adoption after his neuter and dental.
Austin is adoption pending.
Belle is a sweet cuddly 6 yr old owner surrender.
She loves her human and is content to just chill with her person.

Boudin is one of the calmest, sweetest 12 month pugs I’ve had.
He is a little shy with new people, but warms up quickly.
He gets along with the other dogs and is playful.
He would do okay as an only dog with a family that was home most of the time or would do well with fur siblings.
Boudin is a healthy boy.
He has a possible medial luxating patella in the left side.
Annabelle is a 5 month old black female.
She is all puppy...teeth like a piranha and energy for days!
She is working on housetraining and crate training.

He came to PugHearts with a bad urinary infection that is being treated.
He needs prescription food to prevent crystals in his urine for life.

He would love to have a look out position on the back of your sofa!
Boone is a happy little Velcro dog.
He gets along with the other dogs and likes to play with toys.
He loves to snuggle with his person on the sofa.
He likes to talk to you too when encouraged.

Beau is a 9 month puppy surrendered to PugHearts from a local breeder.
Sadly Beau has never learned what it means to be a pet or a puppy, so we are working on accepting love, affection, following rules and learning structure.
Beau wants to please and despite a pretty bad UTI, he’s working hard on house training.
He thrives on love and craves the attention he’s deserved since birth.
Beau gets along with his foster siblings and loves playing with toys and chewing on his dinosaur nylabone.
He’s finally gotten comfortable enough to sleep in the big bed at and must touch his foster mommy at all times.
Beau has learned that being in a crate is a good thing, and will go willingly to his very own spot when it’s time for eating.
He was recently neutered and had both his nares and palate done.
Beau would do best in a home with another dog that he can play with.
Please welcome Anubis.
This 1 year old boy was named after the Egyptian god of the afterlife.
He was the most important god who removed evil out of Egypt.
He comes to us from the valley as an owner surrender.
When I say he is perfection, I mean perfection.
He is doing fantastic using the potty outside and sleeps like a champ in his crate.
He is playful but not hyper.
Angus is 12 months old and made his way to PugHearts by way of the Valley.
Angus has a beautiful fawn coloring with a massive head and compact body.
He has some vision issues in one eye from an old injury, but I can assure you that doesn’t slow him down one bit.
He is all puppy and loves playing with toys and chewing on nylabones.
Angus loves his people and thrives on pleasing his person.
He sleeps in the big bed every night and can’t help but give me kisses every time he changes position to cuddle next to me.
He does require daily eye drops for dry eye but sits quietly when I administer them.
He really is the sweetest guy and gets along with everyone.
Knock knock!!!
Excuse me..... PugHearts NAP (Not A Pug) Angel a.k.a.
Angelo the winking Pekingese is seeking your attention.
The vet says he is 6 yrs old but he acts more like 3-4 yrs old, still love to play with toys, demands belly rubs, and cuddles!
He is house broken, gets along with my grumble!
And do you see that one vampire tooth?
Adorable!!
!
Adonis is a 5-month-old adorable fawn pug.
He is already neutered and is heart worm negative, so he will be ready to adopt very soon.
Adonis is good with children, and other dogs.
He is playful and loves running in his foster home’s yard.
He is kennel trained and is coming along with house training!
And, did I say he was cute?
Three-year-old Ada is what pugs were designed to be.
She's gentle, loving, playful, and LOVES to be near her people.
She is potty trained, extremely well socialized, and good with kids and other dogs.
She loves to cuddle and is a great bed sleeper (but she could sleep in a crate, too).
At 20+ lbs, she's solidly built.
Her forever family will want to make sure she only eats her kibble, because weight management will be an important part of ensuring she has a long life of easy breathing.
She will be ready for adoption after surgeries to spay her, and correct an elongated soft palate and stenotic nares (narrow nostrils).
Betty is 2 years old and came from a backyard breeder.
In her two short years she has been over bred living a not so great life outside.
She has not figured out toys just yet but loves cuddles and snuggles and chew toys.
So far her potty manners have been great.
She is 13 lbs.
She is very velcro and loves sleeping in the big human bed.
Betty does get scared of men and loud noises but she just needs some time to realize that the world and people are not so scary.
Betty gets along with other dogs and would best in a home with older kids.
Allen was surrendered to PugHearts from a local backyard breeder along with four others.
He is about two years old, and wants badly to be a puppy.
He enjoys playing with his foster siblings and running zoomies around the house and the yard.
We are working on house training and house manners, and I think he will be a fast learner because Allen wants so badly to please his person.
He loves cuddling in the big bed at night and has finally starting to settle into his life as a spoiled pet.
He’s still working on understanding that when I leave, I’m actually going to come back.
He does well in a crate when he has a friend joining him, and has learned which crate he eats in and will go in willingly.
He does well playing with his foster sibling, both young and old, female and male.
Allen will need a more invasive neuter, because he is a bilateral cryptorchid, meaning he never fully dropped.
This means he will have a scar similar to a spay.
He will also get his nares and possibly have his palate done prior to adoption.
Besides that, Allen is a healthy, happy guy that will go to his new home on no medications.
Please welcome this cutie to PugHearts.
Beckham is 3 years old.
Beckham spent his life tied to a tree outside and he is unfortunately heartworm positive.
He will have to learn what it means to live inside a house, but we will have lots of time to work on that.
His skin is in pretty bad shape so he will have some medicated baths to help with that.
We will continue to update as we get to know his personality.
He is a bigger boy who weighs 21 pounds.
So far he is getting along with my group.
He will be ready in the spring.
Barney is a 7 year old male that comes to PugHearts from the Laredo area.
Unfortunately, he is heartworm positive and will have to go through the full treatment prior to his adoption.
He has been neutered and his nares were enlarged at the same time.
He is doing well with house manners.
He loves walking outside and gets along with all of the kids and other dogs in the neighborhood.
He is a very sweet boy that loves to sleep in the big bed with his people.
Bumper was seen being hit by a car and PugHearts was called immediately to help this poor baby…and that is how he got his name!
Once making his way to our vet for an exam, we found out Bumper had a broken elbow as well as a near proptosed (out of socket) eye.
Surgery was performed immediately to repair his elbow with our Vet using three screws to hold it in place.
Eye drops were started to help save his eye.
Bumper came to his foster home on three weeks of strict confinement, away from other dogs.
This boy is pure love and I cannot wait to have him with the other dogs and I.
He is such a good boy at house training and loves giving me kisses.
He plays with toys by himself and loves chewing on nylabones.
Bumper is four years old and wants so badly to be a puppy.
We received an excellent report on his eye and we’re able to stop his eye drops completely.
So far his elbow has a great range of motion.
He will be X-rayed in three weeks to see how well the screws have held up.
During that time he will also have his neuter and palate surgery.
I have started Bumper on a joint supplement that I recommend he should take for life, but as of now he’s not on any other medicines.
Bumper is such a love and will make a great addition to any home.
Please welcome this beautiful 2 year old, Bella.
Bella comes to us as an owner surrender do to change in family.
Bella had an amazing intake and is completely healthy.
All she needs is to make sure she can’t have anymore babies.
She is scheduled for her spay on March 31st.
This little potato has the cutest underbite and a great head tilt.
So far she is playful and well adjusted.
Sleeps like an angel and is doing awesome using the potty outside, but will also use the puppy pads I have down for Margie.
No accidents on the floor.
She is able to use the doggy door as well.
Bradley is a 2-year-old fawn pug.
He is heart worm negative, so he will be ready to adopt after his neuter next month.
Bradley is a sweet little guy and is your typical Velcro pug.
He is good with children and most other dogs.
He does have a bit of alpha in him, but once the pecking order is established, he gets along well.
He is coming along with his house training which will greatly improve after his neuter.
He is also kennel trained, though he greatly prefers snuggling with his human.
He longs for and deserves his own person.
Please give this little fellow a chance to be your forever snuggle buddy.
Sweet as can be Mr. Buster B. He’s about 6 years old, loves to cuddle and get loved on by everyone.
Very active and trained.
Buster was found just wandering in the streets; you can tell he came from a home that just left him outside and didn’t take care of his health.
The vet found intestinal and heart worms, but he is a fighter.
Awesome pet to have for a family
Blain’s sweet eyes match his disposition, and when you gain his trust, he will gaze at you longingly like you are his whole world.
He is a cuddler, wants to be with his person at all times, and does not take no for an answer when he is ready for attention.
Don’t get me wrong, he is not perfect, and between his suckling holes in our throw blankets and changing belly band pads, we might invest in a few new stocks!
He does well with our kids and loves to play with my 9-year-old, but human siblings are not a requirement for his happiness.
He also loves playing chase with his four-legged foster brother, but he will do well as an only dog too.
If you do have another dog, they need to be tolerant and playful.
Blain is a back leg bitter of dogs, does not take no for an answer when he wants to chase, and plays his role perfectly as the pesky little brother.
Blain is great on the leash and appreciates a walk around the neighborhood in cool weather, loves to sit on the couch and chew a bone… or your finger, computer or whatever you might have in your lap.
He is great at road trips, rides quietly in his crate, and is not shy to take care of his business at a road stop.
He is crate trained, appreciates a treat when entering his house, and sometimes puts himself in his crate just to see if you will give him an extra treat.
He still needs positive correction with boundaries and marking in the house.
His neuter is May 16.
This boy is the perfect mix of a playful 2-year-old puppy, but also can lay by you on the couch for hours taking a nap with his paw on your leg.
Alexander came to PugHearts with seven other pugs coming from The Valley in one weekend.
He was surrendered to us from a shelter there.
Alexander has obviously been suffering from neglect for quite sometime, and has some of the worst Demodex I have ever seen.
Demodex is a non contagious form of mange that attacks the skin.
Constant scratching has caused horrible sores and scabs as well as thick, leathery skin where hair is suppose to be.
Alexander bled from his sores for several days after coming into his foster home.
Alexander is estimated to be 3 years old, and thankfully he is heartworm negative.
It is clear Alexander’s life hasn’t been a happy one.
His decompression period consisted of hiding under tables with lots of shaking and crying.
He is slowly adjusting to life as a PugHearts foster.
His bleeding and scratching have almost stopped completely.
He sleeps in the big bed every night and asks for pets and gives his foster mommy kisses.
He willingly goes into his crate a feeding time, and loves the added fruits and veggies on his food.
Alexander is not house trained yet, but is learning quickly because he wants to please so bad.
He is currently taking medicated baths every few days, and is on both steroids and antibiotics for his skin.
This is only temporary and will stop once he’s healed.
He will need to be neutered prior to adoption.
Alexander is such a beautiful boy.
His transformation is going to be one of the many amazing stories of PugHearts.
Abigail was surrendered to PugHearts.
We estimate her age to be about 2 years old.
By the looks of her little body, Abigail has been repeatedly used for breeding.
Our vet decided it was best to spay her, and his only words were, “her poor uterus”.
Thankfully that life is behind her and she can enjoy being spoiled as all pugs should.
Abigail gets along with other dogs but people are her favorite.
She attaches to her person and doesn’t let them out pull her sight.
Currently I am Abigail’s person.
She is the sweetest, most loving little girl around.
She is very smart and aims to please, making training come easier.
She has done well with house training but despises the crate.
She cries when she first goes in, but we are making progress.
Abigail came in with itchy skin, with missing hair in places.
We feel she has an flea allergy, so flea meds are very important for her.
We are happy to report that Abigail is heartworm negative, and will be ready for her forever home following her final set of boosters.
Ari came in to PugHearts and was one of seven from The Valley in one weekend.
She was surrendered to us from a local shelter there with a rectal prolapse.
She underwent emergency surgery in The Valley to put in a purse string, which is essentially a draw string in the rectum to hold the colon in place.
Rectal prolapses are usually a result of straining from constant diarrhea.
Ari is only 12 weeks old but she thinks she’s much older.
She is a beautiful brindle color.
We believe she is a Boston Terrier - Pug mix, better known as a Bugg.
She is super smart and a very fast learner.
She loves antagonizing her foster sibling and playing with toys.
Being outside and doing zoomies are favorites too.
Ari is working on house training, and has done great for a puppy her age.
She still has her purse string in, and will for another week.
Once it’s removed we will know more about how her colon is healing.
Ari will need to finish all boosters and vaccines and be spayed prior to adoption.
Baby comes to PugHearts as an owner surrender, as they could not afford the surgery she needed, but loved her too much to let her continue to suffer.
She has since had bladder surgery to remove a massive bladder stone and is healing well.
Her only real long-term need will be a special food to prevent the bladder stones from recurring (which she eats great!).
She is super sweet, loves being near you but doesn’t have to be touching you (aka.
not a super needy girl, like some pugs can be).
Her favorite thing in the world is any toy that squeaks or makes that rustling sound.
She will happily entertain herself with the toy, but also loves playing tug-of-war or fetch with the toy.
She does well with other dogs, as long as they are not toy possessive (i.e.
if she’s growl-playing with a toy and another dogs runs in to try and take it, she gets upset).
But she can happily play with a toy near other dogs and people without issue.
Because of her high toy drive, we recommend no children under age 7, unless they are well versed in recognizing dog behavior.
She enjoys walks, chew bones and exploring the yard.
She does great with the cats and would fit in most home environments, be them on the calm or more active side.
We suspect she is potty trained as she’s never pooped in the house.
As her bladder continues to heal, she should be able to hold her urine for long amounts of time (currently has a bag of stylish handmade dog diapers that keep her home clean).
Just a chill, happy girl overall who needs a loving home of her own.
Ben made his way to PugHearts as an owner surrender from The Valley.
With the exception of needing to be neutered, Ben seems to be a quite healthy and loved 4 year old male.
He is stocky, muscular and oh so handsome, weighing in at 16 pounds.
He does well with other dogs and has proven to be very trainable in his foster home in a very short time.
After a week in his foster home, Ben’s belly band has been clean and dry.
He cuddles the entire night with his head on his foster mommy.
As of now there’s no interest in toys or zoomies.
Ben is one of the loudest breathers of all time, and our doctor feels once his palate is done he will be so much happier and so much more comfortable.
Ben is perfect and he will not last long!
One half of the dynamic duo!
This beautiful 6 year old boy is best friends with his gal pal Amber who he has to be adopted with.
He is perfect.
He and bestie Amber will follow you room to room & cuddle on the couch with you.
When you are talking, he looks at you and just hangs on to every word you say.
He loves toys & is seen carrying one in his mouth when he is super happy.
On down time, Abner and Amber will sit side by side or in close proximity to each other patiently waiting.
He gets along with kids and other dogs.
He also uses a doggie door.
One half of the dynamic duo!
This beautiful 6 year old girl is Amber and she has a best friend named Abner who she had to be adopted with.
She is an absolute doll - she and bestie Abner will follow you from room to room and enjoy relaxing on the couch with you.
She loves toys - she will pick one up and either walk around with it or lay down with it and chew away .
On down time, Abner and Amber will sit side by side or in close proximity to each other patiently waiting.
She gets along with kids and other dogs.
She will also use a doggie door.
She has dry eye that requires drops twice a day for life.
Adam made his way to PugHearts along with 4 other dogs from The Rio Grande Valley on the same weekend.
When our volunteers first picked up Adam it was evident that he’d been an outside dog for most of his life.
He was covered in fleas and had a very dull coat.
Once in Houston, Adam made his way to our vet where it was discovered that Adam is strong-direct heartworm positive.
Thankfully he has no scarring in the heart or lungs and has not coughed even once while in foster care.
He did great taking his first heartgard and is on 30 days of Doxycycline to begin his heartworm treatment journey.
Adam will need to be neutered as well as have his stenotic nares repaired.
I’m his foster home it has to fun to watch Adam’s personality blossom.
He loves sleeping on the couch during the and when it gets too hectic Adam will put himself in the crate and close the door.
He growls for everything.
When he’s happy, he growls.
When he’s annoyed, he growls.
When he’s hungry, he growls.
When he wants outside, he growls….like I mentioned, it’s for everything.
He never acts out or tries to fight, but it’s an important thing to think about if there’s a dog in the home that might be set off by this.
Adam is 3 years old and has the cutest little body.
He is stocky and compact, weighing 15 pounds of pure muscle.
We are working on house training, and so far he’s doing way better than expected.
Just the occasional marking, but for an outside intact male, that’s pretty good!
Adam will need to complete his heartworm treatment prior to adoption, but that can’t stop him from meeting his new family now!
Welcome Foster Bubbles to PugHearts of Houston Pug Rescue.
She had her intake this week and she is consider Hydrocephalic.
Meaning she has too much Cerebral Spinal Fluid in the brain and spinal cord.
This causes a multitude of neurological challenges that includes pacing around the house in circles.
Here is what we know so far: 2 years old crate trained loves to take naps loves to play with toys loves to play with other pugs
Abby is 9 weeks old and 4 pounds of pug puppy perfection!
She loves toys, bully sticks and can romp and play her day away.
She is a pro at crate training and sleeping all night with no accidents in the crate.
Abby quickly goes potty outside and is a good eater of dry kibble.
She is completely socialized around children but nips and nibbles with very sharp teeth as all puppies do.
Abby loves other dogs and would do well in a home with dogs (she has not been tested around cats).
Baby Abby is a rare jewel and completely healthy with a shiny beautiful fawn body, dark stripe down her back, a black expressive face and a white patch on her chest with a perfect coiled puggy tail.
She has such a delightful personality and brings instant joy into every room.
Abby is a dream Pug!!
!
Banning made his way to PugHearts after a witness in Rio Grande City witnessed someone throwing him out of a moving vehicle.
Once in the care of our volunteers it was made clear that Banning has been abused, malnourished and neglected.
Banning is missing large tufts of hair, and his coat his wiry and is unhealthy.
He is severely underweight and will cower when his first meets someone.
Banning traveled to Houston with five other pugs coming in to PugHearts.
He made his way to our vet in Sugar Land for his intake exam.
Because of his poor condition, he had a full blood work up to make sure his liver and kidneys are functioning properly.
Thankfully, those all look great, but Banning in extremely anemic, which is common in dogs with tick borne illness.
He didn’t receive all vaccines at this time, and will go back for a recheck to see if his numbers have improved with Doxycycline.
Banning is 7 years old.
He does need to be neutered and have his nares repaired, but we are holding off on scheduling surgery until he’s healthier.
Banning is heartworm negative!
Despite everything Banning is the absolute best boy.
He loves cuddling with me and giving me kisses.
He does well with the other dogs here and is working on house training.
He’s not a fan of the crate, but that means I’m leaving, and for a dog like this, there’s a fear that I might not come back.
He will learn and understand the routine soon.
It’s been amazing to see Banning smile and relax, and I know his future is going to be amazing.
Autry Update!
Autry is a 3-year-old fawn male.
He was an owner surrender when he came to PugHearts a year ago.
He was adopted and then moved up to the northeast!
Unfortunately, he did not do well with the new home and was returned to PugHearts.
Autry has been in his foster family now for a solid month.
He has done well with his house training.
He kennels perfectly at night and when home alone.
He plays and interacts with the other dogs in the house.
And he has been good with young children.
The only enemy he seems to have now is the Sprinkler!
He really wants it to stop with all the water spraying!
Autry is ready to adopt!
He has personality that will keep you amused!
Please consider this little man.

She will be ready in a few weeks after she heals from her surgeries.
Sent from my iPhone
Please welcome foster Bryce to the PugHearts family!
Bryce came to us as an owner surrender and is currently being treated for a cough and a skin irritation.
He is heartworm negative and approximately 2 years old.
He has very unique coloring, a thick coat, and overall, is just a cutie.
Bryce is very calm and is doing great with potty training, and getting along with other pugs and cats.
He needs to be neutered, but will then be ready for his forever home.
Alex is an 8 year old male with a beautiful black, shiny coat and nicely curled tail.
He is very sweet and follows me everywhere.
He doesn’t like crates, but he will sleep in the bed with me or in a bed on the bedroom floor.
We are working on house training and his meal time manners.
He is heart worm negative and will be getting neutered and a dental on 7/19.
I don’t know if he gets along with cats or small children, but he is very laid back.
He is handsome and wants nothing more than to be around his human.
Foster Addie is a 5-month-old puppy that came to PugHearts through no fault of her own.
She’s still learning the ropes at my house, but she’s catching on quickly and learning from her elders!
She sleeps in her crate at night, and I don’t hear a peep out of her until I walk in the kitchen to get everyone’s breakfast ready.
She sleeps through the night and hasn’t had any accidents in her crate other than her first night.
We’re still working on potty training, but as long as you’re consistent and letting her out frequently, she’ll do just fine.
She’s not much of a barker, and she’s not showing any alpha tendencies at this time.
That could possibly change in the future, but so far, she gets along really well with everyone and just enjoys play time and chewing on the buffalo horns strewn all over my house.
I have caught her trying to chew on my desk when I’m in my office, but I just redirect her with a horn and she’s fine.
She loves playing in water, so if you have a baby pool, or if you could invest in one for her to enjoy, she would greatly appreciate it.
My daughter caught her playing in the giant water bowl I keep on the back patio, and since she’s so little, she fit perfectly.
She wasn’t a fan of the bath I gave her earlier that morning, but that’s probably because it wasn’t her idea!
Addie is heartworm negative and will be available for adoption early August.
Get those apps in because this little girl will go quick!
Anne is a four year female who is Is heartworm positive and currently going through her treatment.
This little girl has the sweetest face.
She’s slowly but surely coming out of her shell, loves to play with toys, is a good eater, and loves her human.
Her house manners are coming along.
She still barks at everything she sees when she’s out walking.
She does well on a leash.
Our walks are still a work in progress.
Amy made her way to PugHearts as an owner surrender.
She is 15 pounds of pure puppy love.
At only 18 months old Amy loves to play hard and sleep harder.
She gets along well with all the other dogs here and would do best in a home with another young dog to help burn off her puppy energy.
Being in the backyard is one of favorite things, and she participates in yard zoomies almost everyday.
Amy does well in the crate when I’m gone during the day, and sleeps soundly in the big bed at night.
She loves toys, playing tug of war and chewing on the nylabone dinosaurs.
She has done well with house training and has been working hard on all her good manners, but she will need a home ready to give a puppy the time and training she still needs.
With the exception of some flea dermatitis when she came in for intake, Amy is healthy and heartworm negative.
Once she’s had her spay and nares surgery, Amy will be ready for adoption.
Bellamy is estimated at 1 yr old with no health concerns at the moment.
He's one of the sweetest puppies I have fostered.
He's the perfect balance of snuggly and playful.
Bellamy loves his people and likes company as much as possible.
He's doing very good with his potty training but as with any puppy, he will need his forever home to keep the consistency of the training and manners.
He is starting to get the bell at the door as we don't have doggy door.
He sleeps in his crate all night and when I'm away from the house.
He does take cues from my senior dogs so I think he would benefit from a household with other dogs that this young pug can take cues from and mature to an even cuter mature pug.
He's very smart so teaching him new tricks or new routines may be easier than the average pug.
I don't see/feel as much stubbornness as with other pugs.
He would do great at a house with active humans and/or dogs.
I don't have cats so don't know how he will do with them but so far he is a friend to most things or people he encounters.
He is fine with my kid and likes to play and follow her around whenever she's home.
He does tend to run out of the door so warning to any potential adopters to double down on doors and exists until he stops this habit.
He loves his walks after each meal so the walking habit may help curb his instinct to run and explore when you open the doors to the outside.
He's really a pug unicorn and his coat doesn't shed as much.
Brett is a bundle of fun!
He's about 18 months old and loves to play but loves his naps too!
Especially if he can cuddle up next to you as he’s super sweet and affectionate.
He would love a home with another dog to run around with and kids to play with.
He’s fine with cats too!
Loves his walks, his bouncy balls and carrying around stuffed toys and finding the perfect spot to hide them.
He’s smart, uses a doggie door, and is house trained.
He’s happy and healthy and after his neuter in early August this sweet boy is ready for his forever home with a loving family.
Biscotti comes to PugHearts as an owner surrender through no fault of his own.
His previous owner was getting deployed and wanted to ensure that Biscotti found a good home.
Biscotti is 3 yo and as sweet as can be.
He has a calm temperament and gets along great with the pug pack in his foster home.
For as young as he is he is very laid back and chill.
He loves to hang out with his humans and chew on his chew toys.
He is currently not crated and is trustworthy to be left alone when his humans are away from home.
He likes sleeping in the big bed with his people.
Biscotti is surrounded by senior dogs in his foster home and he does very well coexisting with them.
He does well with older children although he may be a little timid around them at first.
We would recommend supervision when around very small children.
Biscotti will be available after his neuter which is scheduled for August 16th.
Transferred to Florida Pug Rescue Andrew (or Andy Pandy as my foster momma calls me) made his way to PugHearts with four other dogs from a breeder dump and is just 4 years old.
When he first came to PugHearts, it was clear he was not well cared for as he was covered in fleas.
After getting a much needed bath, he is now starting to decompress and feel better.
In his foster home, Andrew is learning the finer things in life including snuggle time on the sofa and greek yogurt in his breakfast!
While he doesn't play much with toys yet, he does love to chill with his foster family, both two legged and four.
He seems to be more comfortable with women, as he can be hesitant with men.
It's been fun to watch his personality slow emerge as he continues to feel more comfortable and confident in his foster home.
He is becoming a fantastic cuddler and will make the perfect addition to one lucky family.
…and from the ashes, rose a phoenix.
To know Ash’s background, you wouldn’t blame him if he was bitter, surly, or even skittish.
But despite his past, Ash is one of the most loving and mild-mannered pugs I have ever met.
Due to his history and likely his heart worm diagnosis, he’s a tiny guy at only 16.8 lbs.
You’d be forgiven for thinking he was a puppy but, in fact, he is a mature 8 year old.
I like to think that for Ash, this is his opportunity to experience the joyous puppyhood he was deprived of.
Everything he experiences, he experiences with wonder; from a random treat here and there, walks around the neighborhood, and even chasing dragonflies in the back yard.
Like a puppy, he’s still working on some of the fundamentals such as potty training, but he’s demonstrating a real willingness to do what it takes to be a good boy and I have the upmost faith that he will be successful in this endeavor.
Ash is an absolute cuddle bug but not quite Velcro.
He will give you your space, if needed.
He’s scheduled for his neuter on September 12th and will have to undergo treatment for heart worms for a month or two following that.
After that, this little man will be absolutely ready to find his forever home, forever lap, and to live his second puppyhood to its fullest!
Bud is estimated to be 8 years old and comes to PugHearts from a shelter where he was left after a life of breeding.
This poor boy is on a road to recovery as he is learning how to live without being in a crate, learning what it means to house trained, and most importantly - how to be loved by humans and love them back.
Arabella is a beautiful two year little lady that was dumped in a neighborhood.
A Good Samaritan saved her from the hot august day and after exhausting all efforts to find her home, PugHearts stepped in to find her a forever home.
She was found with an old collar that was clearly on for too long and was way too tight causing a pretty ugly looking hotspot.
She had fleas and tapeworms.
She was treated for everything and went in for her intake so that she could get the vaccines she needed.
Arabella will need to be spayed and have her palate done prior to adoption.
Her palate is a 4 out of 4, which is causing her some wet breathing and makes her foam at the mouth when she gets too excited.
Arabella has done amazing in her foster home.
She has plenty of puppy energy with house manners of a mature dog.
She does well in a crate and has done good at house training.
She enjoys playing with all of her foster siblings and loves her plush, squeaky toys.
Arabella would do great in a home with another playmate.
She loves her foster mommy and is an amazing cuddler either on the couch or the big bed at night.
She has the most beautiful little face with the cutest ears and softest fur.
Arabella deserves a home where she will be treated like the princess that she is!
Bingo was surrendered to PugHearts by his owners who were unable to handle his puppy energy.
He is 7 months old with the most beautiful black fur and curly tail that could compete for world titles.
Bingo is pure puppy energy, and since he’s already 17 pounds, this big boy is so much fun!
He’s working on manners and boundaries and is having fun doing it!
He gets along great with all his foster siblings and would do best in a home with another young dog to help use up all that energy.
An active family with plenty of patience and structure will be ideal for Bingo to have the perfect life.
An assortment of toys and peanut butter Kongs will make a super happy too!
Bingo is healthy, receiving all his vaccines and a clean bill of health at his intake exam, and he was able to be neutered just a few days later which makes him ready for his forever home.
Bruno is an energetic, silly, sweet and smart 8-month old pug puppy.
He loves to play with his foster siblings, human and pugs alike.
He sleeps in his crate at night time and when we go out for errands.
He loves to chew on bones and squeaky toys.
He loves activities that include him and loves to wrestle with others or towels or any other toy.
He absolutely loves his people and will want to be near you as much as you can.
His potty manners are progressing with very few accidents inside and moving to more days without belly band and/or dry belly band.
He knows how to ring the door bell to go outside and loves his praise and treat for going potty outside.
He also gets two walks a day, morning and night, to keep him engaged and his energy level to what's manageable for our Senior pugs household.
He would do great with a family that's active or has active kids or active pups for him to play around and learn to be another well behaved member of the family.
He walks really nice on leash and loves to ask for pets to any passersby.
He has one of the cutest pug faces with ears and tail to match.
At night, he loves a good lap to snuggle and sleep rolled up in a ball next to you.
He can watch a whole movie in your lap once he settles in... and may try to steal the popcorn too.
Autumn is 2 years old and wide-eyed for life.
She is amazingly loyal, sweet-natured, and could pass as your second shadow.
I’ve only had her for two days, but she has claimed me as her own immediately.
Wherever I’ve been walking, her little paws have been tapping alongside, and when I look down, her face has been glued to mine.
She comes when called, sits on command, and minds my older dog.
Not only is she a natural cuddle bunny, Autumn is also playful with toys and my dog Charlotte.
She is ready for her forever family.

Welcome to PugHearts, Boomer, we are so glad you are here!
Please welcome Anastasia to PugHearts.
This sweet little girl was surrendered to us at no fault of her own.
Anastasia is only 3 years old and unfortunately, is heart worm positive.
She is also being treated for hook worms.
She scheduled for her spay and nares in early December and will go through heart worm treatment some time afterwards.
Although Anastasia won’t be ready for her new home until after treatment, she is looking for a forever family to call her own.
Anastasia is crate trained, slept through the night, and has not had any accidents inside.
She is great with other dogs and loves children (she has picked my son as her favorite)!
Welcome to PugHearts, welcome to the good life, sweet Anastasia, we are so glad you are here!
Welcome to amazing Foster Brooke.
She is the sweetest baby at 6 pounds and is 6-8 months.
She is a a great puppy loves to play.
But the thing she likes most is to cuddle in my arms and nap.
As with any puppy her house training will be a work in progress for some time to come.
Brooke will be available for adoption after her spay, which is not scheduled yet.
Her main requirement is love and patience as she grows up.
Welcome Foster Brianna.
She weights 8 pounds and is 6-8 months.
Brianna’s is always running around playing with toys or the other fosters.
She does like to be on my lap but she doesn’t lay down, she wants to play and give lots of kisses.
She will be available after her spay, which hasn’t been scheduled at this time.
Please welcome Brenner to PugHearts!
One of the newest little heart nose puppies!
Brenner (about 6 months old) made his way to PugHearts and we are so glad he did.
He’s having a blast and loving the doggy daycare here.
He’s about 4 months old and so sweet!
This is the most amazing and wonderful Bonky Boy!
There just aren't words to describe how great he is.
He is a 7 year old owner surrender and I have no idea why, he's pretty much perfect!
His face is one of the most beautiful pug faces I've seen, the fur coloring on his forehead is amazing!
He is another one who has issues that could have been avoided.
He is blind due to dry eye that wasn't treated and he is positive for heartworms.
It's sad that both of these issue could have been prevented with proper care.
But my Bonky Boy is a very happy lad.
He loves to be close to me and jumps on the couch and settles in right next to me be before I know what's happening.
He is a huge bed hog though.
In an effort to be close to me he moves over every time I do and I wake up with my legs hanging off the side of the bed.
I don't let him sleep with me every night because I need a full night every once in a while.
Bonky won't be available for adoption until his heartworms are treated so it will probably be February or March before he's ready to find his new home.
Please Welcome Boden to PugHearts!
Boden was found as a stray with a rectal prolapse.
The finder tried to do the right thing in finding the owners but had no idea the severity of poor Boden’s condition.
Once she spoke to PugHearts she surrendered him immediately to get the medical care that he immediately needed.
We aren’t sure why Boden prolapsed, but typically it occurs when a dog hasn’t been dewormed properly and has constant diarrhea and straining making them lose rectal tone.
Boden had two purse strings which basically is a drawstring to keep the rectum from prolapsing, but after the second one it was clear Boden needed a more complex procedure.
Boden underwent a third surgery, this time to get a colopexy, which is essentially the pulling and tacking of the colon to the abdominal wall to prevent further prolapses.
He was also neutered at this time.
PugHearts has had much success from this procedure and we think Boden will be no different.
He has healed beautifully and is pooping with great consistency and no straining.
Boden is med free too!
Boden has a slight curvature of his rear legs from luxating patellas but it doesn’t slow him down.
He uses the stair to get on and off the bed with no issues.
A healthy weight and joint supplements will help this to never cause him an issue.
Boden is the sweetest little cuddler.
He sleeps curled up in the big bed as close to his foster mommy as possible.
He loves toys and plays with his foster siblings.
Boden does well with other dogs and is fine with cats as well.
Boden is 12 months old with the most beautiful cream coloring.
He is healthy, happy and ready to find his forever family!
Hello world!
My name is Boomer!
I am 10 months old and am a typical puppy – I love to play and am very energetic.
I am good with kids and other dogs [dog size does not matter either – big or small, I am ready to play].
I learn pretty fast too – I figured out using the doggy door in no time at all.
All of the playtime does wear me out and I love just to curl up in your lap and rest up until it’s game time.
Please Welcome Asia to PugHearts!
Asia made her way to PugHearts as an owner surrender.
Her owners found themselves overwhelmed with six dogs and realized they were giving Asia the love, stimulation or training that she deserved.
Asia is 11 months old and all puppy!
She loves playing with her foster siblings and can always be found near all of her toys.
She enjoys being outside and sometimes wants to be chased instead of coming back in.
Asia is crate trained and has done great at house training here too.
She will use a puddle pad if needed.
Asia is a cuddler and sleeps as close to her foster mommy as she can every single night.
Asia would do best in a home that can continue her training and would love to have a playmate to use up all her puppy energy.
She is already spayed, as well having both her nares and palate done.
Her actually birthdate is January 19, 2022.
She is ready for her forever home, and hopes it’s in time to celebrate her first birthday!
Meet foster Angel.
Her name is perfect for her.
She is 9 years old, heartworm negative and already spayed.
This larger than life lady needs to lose a few pounds, but hey, it happens.
She is loving and adores her people.
Does well with other pugs in the house.
Angel crates well, but would prefer to share the big bed with her forever family.
She is a real doll and will make a family very happy.
Andy/Andi has two spellings because she was born a hermaphrodite.
During her spay it was discovered that she had two abnormal testes in addition to a uterus.
While this certainly makes her special and somewhat rare, what really makes her special is her sweet personality.
After all that she's been through, being surrendered, underweight, and having an eye removed once in our care, she maintains a happy demeanor.
She gets along with our 4 other dogs, sleeps great in the bed, hasn't barked (yet), and loves to follow us around.
Her recent surgeries have her in a cone currently, but she will soon be all healed and ready for her forever home.
She is heartworm negative, seems to be housetrained so far, and she is pretty small at 14 lbs and 3 years old, so full grown.
If you're looking for a medium energy, healthy girl, Andi is the one to choose.
Benji is about 18 months old and was surrendered to PugHearts following a very unfortunate accident.
Poor Benji was hit by a car.
When his family took him to the vet the cost of surgery to treat him was beyond what they could afford.
They made the unselfish decision to surrender Benji to PugHearts so that he could get the needed surgery required to fix his injuries.
Benji had a pretty nasty break to his femur along with road rash covering his entire abdomen and both rear legs.
He was scheduled for surgery a few days later where Dr. Hendrix plated his broken leg.
Benji has no idea he’s injured or that he just went thru a pretty major surgery.
He wants to run, jump and play just like a puppy should, but he’s spending a few weeks on crate rest while the callus forms around the plate.
We expect Benji to make a full recovery with no residual effects of his injuries.
Because the surgery was so long and intense Benji wasn’t able to be neutered, so once fully healed he will go back in for that along with his nares and palate to help him breathe better.
Benji is all puppy with the most beautiful mask and the squishiest body ever!
His personality is so fun loving and happy.
He loves his people and he adores playtime with other dogs.
Right now that playtime is from inside a crate but I can only imagine how happy he will be to get out with the others.
Like with all of my hit by car fosters, a good joint supplement for life and staying at a healthy weight is highly recommended.
Benji would be perfect for any home and is going to make a lucky family extremely happy!
Bria is 2 years old with the sweetest personality to go along with the sweetest face.
She came to PugHearts from a shelter with obvious signs of having multiple litters.
She weighs around 13 lbs.
She loves to give kisses.
She will let you believe she is a shy little girl but as she gets comfortable, she peps up and wants to play.
Bria gets along with all the pugs here but she prefers just to be with her person.
She would do well with other pets and kids but also would be fine as an only dog.
Bria is unfortunately Heartworm positive.
She will be ready for her forever home after treatment sometime in April.
Introducing Betty White to the PugHearts family!
She just came to us this weekend, so additional details about her are to come!
What I can tell you is that she is incredibly sweet and can hold her own amongst the three male pugs in my house.
I have a feeling that there will be great interest in this Golden Girl based on her personality alone.
More details to come about this lovely lady.
A quick update on Ms. Betty White: She’s 2 years old.
She’s had her big girl surgery and should be ready to adopt in 10-14 days.
She has more potty training skills than I would have thought.
She knows how to sit on command (as long as treats are involved).
She’s as sweet as she looks.
Meet Baxter, this precious little man stole his mother's heart in the middle of his transport to PugHearts.
He will be permanent in her home and heart once he is vaccinated and neutered.
Ambrose is a one-year-old boy who came into PugHearts as an owner surrender.
He is an incredibly happy little boy whose tail will wag whenever you talk to him.
He is learning how to play with toys and he loves to chew on bones!
He is great with kids and other dogs.
He's not alpha and can be a little submissive, which is great.
Ambrose has very good house manners.
He tries to mark very minimally, and hasn't tried with us in a week or so.
He will go outside and do his potties, and he loves taking walks!
He does have puppy energy so an active household would be preferred.
Abby Cadabby—better known as Abby—is a spunky 2-year-old girl full of young pug energy.
She does very well with other dogs and loves to play with them.
She is potty trained and sleeps in a crate at night.
She loves to go on neighborhood walks.
At home, she loves to be with her people, and will follow them around all day.
She’s vocal when delivery trucks arrive or when it’s time for food.
In the evenings, her favorite thing to do is to curl up on a lap and unwind from her busy days.
Brenden is a beautiful trek year old owner surrender from the Dallas area.
He has the gorgeous apricot coloring that you don’t see very often.
Brenden was recently neutered and received a healthy report at his intake Brenden has done well in his foster home.
He’s understanding and learning both house manners and crate manners.
He wears a belly band when not being monitored.
He eats all his meals in a crate and stays in when I leave the house.
Brenden sleeps in the big bed and loves cuddling next to me every night.
He loves toys and nylabones, and is learning how to share and play well with others.
One of his very favorite things to do is sit outside and bark at the birds or airplanes that fly overhead.
It’s amazing how far he can see!
He also chases the squirrels along the fence line.
Brenden will make a perfect addition to any home with the patience and time to continue his training.
Please Welcome Blaze to PugHearts!
Blaze came to PugHearts after some good people saved him from being hit by a car in a very busy intersection late one night.
They kept him safe, hoping to find his family.
When no one came forward they debated keeping him as their own, but decided to surrender him to us so that he could get the care that he needs.
We estimate that Blaze is about 3 years old by the slight greying on his chin and beautiful pearly white teeth.
When I first picked up Blaze it was during a very cold day, and the fireplace was going.
He sat, mesmerized by the fire so I thought Blaze would be a perfectly fitting name.
Blaze is a 3 year old little guy, weighing only 12 pounds.
While we think he should gain some weight, we only believe his healthy weight is 14 pounds, so he’s a pocket pug!
He loves toys and playing with his foster siblings.
He does mark occasionally but hopefully following his neuter that will decrease.
He sleeps every night cuddled in the big bed, and loves waking me up with lots and lots of kisses in the morning.
It’s obvious Blaze has spent his life outside due to his patchy skin.
His legs seems weak making us believe a crate is where he lived most, and his leg muscles are weak.
A crate, outside is no place for an any dog, but most especially for a pug.
We expect him to be strong and grow stronger as he gets healthy.
Sadly Blaze is heartworm positive, so he will need to complete treatment prior to being adopted, as well if she all required vaccines and boosters.
Blaze is intact and has dynamic stenotic nares, so surgery will be scheduled soon.
Get your apps in for this precious boy!
He is definitely worth the wait!
Bruno is a beautiful 1 year old, fawn male.

He is very smart.
Sometimes too smart!
I think he would do better in a home with another dog to play with.
He is learning potty manners quickly.

He is an in the bed with you sleeper.
We are also working on not jumping but gets so excited to see you that he still can’t help it..

I cannot say enough about how sweet Bruno is.
He would be a wonderful addition to any family.
Hello!
My name is Bernard, and boy am I cute!!
I am two years old and weigh in at a petite 15 lbs.
One thing to know - I am full of energy!
Energizer bunny energy.
My Foster Mama says I bring out the fun in those around me.
She has her own senior pug Charlotte, and I was told that Charlotte has played with me more than any other foster brother or sister that she’s ever had.
Usually they use her as a pug pillow to nap on or cuddle with, but together, we can be found running around the house playing pretend bitey face and tug-of-war.
Mama says there is a noticeable difference in her demeanor since I’ve been around.
She has been smiling more and I’d like to think that I’m the reason!
Though I am usually on the go, I am equal parts play and love.
If you give me a lap, there is a 100% probability that I will crawl into it, and if you are showering, I must sit between the shower curtain and liner to make sure you know I love you.
Along with being young and playful, I am very smart!
I am the fastest dog to be potty-trained at my Foster Mama’s house, know the command “sit”, and know the command “leave it”.
Well… I’ll “leave it” unless they’re fuzzy slippers or irresistible looking sandals.
That is something that Mama is working on me with.
She will have a good amount of time to teach me more home manners, as I am heartworm positive and will be staying with her and Charlotte during my treatment and recovery until around the end of May.
Even though I won’t be ready until around then, please don’t shy away from asking about me or putting in an application because I cannot wait one day longer than necessary to meet you – my forever family.
And as a plus to the light-sleepers, I am a proud boy to say that I am crate trained!
Please Welcome Barnaby to PugHearts!
A fellow pug lover and PugHearts supporter found Barnaby being sold at a flea market.

He has a majestic look about him with the most amazing face wrinkles and a nose to die for.
Barnaby is about 20 pounds of pure love.
He had his intake exam where it was determined that Barnaby has dry eye, which will be treated by drops for life.
He will need to be neutered and have the required breathing surgeries prior to adoption, but the best news is he is Heartworm Negative!
Barnaby is a lover and has done great in his new foster home.
He gets along with everyone here and enjoys sleeping cuddled next to his foster mom every night.
He enjoys laying on the couch to catch a nap whenever he can.
Barnaby gets along well with his foster siblings and with his personality I suspect he’d be fine with cats too.
He has the best personality and enjoys singing along while I squeak the toys.
It’s the best thing to watch!
Barnaby would do great in any home and I can assure you, pugs this perfect don’t come around often!

Caution, please do not get him wet after midnight.
His level of zaniness greatly increases.
Please Welcome Benjamin to PugHearts!
Benjamin, also known as Benji is a 2 year old who made his way to PugHearts as an Owner Surrender.
At 2, he’s all puppy energy and so much fun.
He loves everyone here and plays with toys non stop.
You will almost always find him with a stuffy in his mouth or playing the mouth game with his foster siblings.
He does great with children of all ages, and most certainly would love to have a human friend to grow up with.
I call Benjamin a smutty fawn, or a perfect mixture of a black pug and fawn pug.
The best of both worlds!
At 15 pounds, his stocky frame is all muscle and absolutely perfect.
Benjamin is already neutered and had his needed breathing surgeries and vaccines upon intake, but sadly this youngster is heartworm positive.
He will go thru heartworm treatment with PugHearts, and will be ready for his forever home after that.
This baby is worth the wait and all fun!
Get your apps in quick!
Please welcome Baby.
She is a 12 year old owner surrender because her mom went into a nursing home.
She is so sweet.
I am already in love with her and she’s been here less than an hour.
More info to come as I get to know her.
Now for my last adoption today.
I only had Baby a few days but I sure did fall in love with her.
I’m so very happy that she has found a loving and secure home and will be taken care of in her golden years.
Congratulations Baby, you are a very special girl to me.
Allen is a super special little guy.
While he's a NAP (Not A Pug) he's amazing.
Allen is 12 months old, 11 pounds, neutered, HW- and actively searching for a home.
When I said I would foster him I was ready for a typical 12 month old and all the crazy that comes with them.
However, that is not the case with Allen.
He is the best little guy around.
He does like to play with the other fosters but he really likes his human.
He prefers to be on the couch playing with me or being held.
Allen is a wonderful houseguest.
He's very good with his house manners and is fine with being in the crate.
He is also just to cute for words.
Allen will make a wonderful addition to any home that has the love to give and time to play.
He's definitely a keeper.
Please give a warm PugHearts’ Welcome to Ace!
Ace and his brother, Archer, found their way to PugHearts after being abandoned in a Houston suburb.
Ace is only 13 weeks old and is one of the cutest mixes you’ll ever meet!
At only 4 lbs., this adorable, spunky little puppy loves to play, loves to explore, and loves to run in the backyard with all the big Pugs.
Ace is learning to potty outside, and will come running to you when you call him.
He loves to take naps and does great sleeping through the night!
Ace isn’t quite ready for adoption as he still needs all of his vaccines and boosters, and will also need to be neutered once he’s old enough.
Given his rough start, Ace is doing remarkably well and is just the happiest little puppy!
Welcome to PugHearts, sweet Ace, we are so glad you are here!
Bradley has my heart, and I'm confident he'll have yours too.
He is a five year old boy who has had the cards stacked against him, but despite it all, continues to be so full of love.
Bradley arrived to us with his ribs showing, scars scattered throughout his body (including his head), and burn marks on his limbs from laying on the concrete.
Yes, he was left as an outside dog.
An outside dog in TEXAS HEAT.
Not only did he have to suffer through the harsh temperatures, but he also had fleas and various worms to combat.
Even with having lived in rough conditions, he remains calm-tempered and oh so sweet.
C’mon, you can even see it in his face.
With any morsel of attention given, his tail will be a waggin' and his paws pitter pattering.
He wants to please and will always come when called.
Bradley would be okay as an only dog, as attention from people bring him the most joy, but would be great in a multi-dog home as well.
He will get food aggressive but is learning day by day that there is enough food to go around for all.
Otherwise, does great with my other pug.
Over the last few weeks, Bradley has changed before our eyes.
The best part?
He is finally learning that he is loved.
Oh, so loved.
Could you be his forever family?
Bradley will be undergoing HW treatment.
He will be available for adoption early Sept 2023.
Ask for a meet and greet today to meet this sweet fellow!

Angelo is a seven-year-old neutered male.
He is currently heartworm positive and going through treatment.
He was an owner surrender due to no fault of his own.
Angelo really is the whole package… he is potty trained, goes into the crate without “talking back”, he knows how to “sit” and plays very well with toys.
He walks on a leash like a champ and doesn’t get super excited when passing other dogs.
He doesn’t bark when people come over and is truly an all-around well behave guy!
He gets excited when he sees the leash but what dog doesn’t?
You can put your shoes, purses, clothes, etc.
on the floor and Angelo will not mess with them.
He likes to be close to you but isn’t in your face.
He is crated while I am at work M-F (full business day plus commute) and handles it like a star.
No bait and switch here… Angelo is the real deal!
Come meet him and see for yourself.
Alice came to PugHearts through no fault of her own.
She recently had puppies but her momma days are officially over.
Alice is 4 years old and has a very sweet personality and temperament.
She is playful when she is encouraged to play by the other dogs and she’ll join in a good chase.
Alice mostly prefers to be by her human’s side cuddling on the couch and she’ll never let you out of her site!
She gets along great with other dogs and would make an excellent family pet with children of all ages.
She’s very gentle with all humans.
Alice has been spayed and has had her nares and palette surgeries.
She is very healthy and is ready to be adopted now!
Bruno is a playful, fawn male about a year old.
We found him for sale on Craigslist.
It's been lots of fun getting to know him.
He's energetic and wants so badly to please and be around you.
He crates well and is picking up on the potty training pretty well.
He would probably love another dog to play with but would be content with anything.
He's sweet dog and great with kids.
Please consider being his forever family.
Hi, meet Boyd!
Boyd is a sweet 5 year old little guy.
He is on the small side at about 14lbs.
He has had a rough start to life, appears to have been on the streets for awhile.
He is quickly learning to love a pampered dog life though!
He is a super snuggler and loves to sleep in the big bed next to his people!
He does well with other dogs, and doesn’t mind cats either.
He is crate trained, and is improving in overall housebreaking habits!
Sadly he is heartworm positive, so he will need to go through treatment before being adopted.
This little guy will be worth the wait!

He doesn't play with toys a lot, he isn't destructive in the house, and we're working on his potty training but he's making very good progress!

Personality: I'm not just your average pug; I'm a charismatic, funny, and expressive little guy.

A Ideal Home: I get along swimmingly with dogs of all shapes and sizes, making me a perfect fit for families with furry friends.

Angie - 4 Years, 17 Lbs, Spayed, Heartworm negative The smell was intolerable, but she was so used to it that it was nothing but normal.
The paint on the wall was faded and there were scratch marks on the door.
In one place, there was a small hole where the scratches had penetrated the doors surface.
Feces littered the floor under her pen, which was always in need of cleaning.
