• Laurel & Hardey

  Laurel & Hardy have been reunited!  These boys were split up due to lack of a foster home available to take a pair of pugs, Laurel was sent to Austin and Hardy remained in Dallas.  Laurel was grieving horribly for Hardy and it was apparent these two needed each other.  We were able to locate a foster home in Austin and the boys are happily back together. Laurel and Hardy were dumped at a local Dallas shelter because their owner did not have time for them any more.  Laurel is 8 years old and Hardy is 6-7 years old.  Although considered “seniors” they have lots of life to live and loving to give.  They are low key and just need a place to eat sleep and hang their harnesses.  They need to be adopted together.     Posted Jul 03 2008, 01:26 PM by admin

• Lola

  Lola was purchased at a flea market.  We aren’t sure why her owners decided to give her to rescue, the story changed numerous times.  But after meeting Lola we suspect that she is just a worn out breeder.  She has had puppies very recently.  We are still awaiting test results, but it appears Lola has some issues with her hips or back but she is mobile.  She is also heartworm positive.  Lola is a little doll, sweet and docile.  We are still getting to know her but we know she rides well in the car and is getting along with her foster siblings.  She is approximately 7 years old.

• Mojo

  It’s a family affair at pug rescue.  Mojo is the grandson of the now famous pug rescue – Willie, who was rescued back in April.  Mojo just turned 2 years old.  He doesn’t look too much like his granddaddy but there’s no denying they have almost identical personalities.  Mojo is a wiggle butt and like Willie he prefers to be leaning on or touching his human as much as possible.  He has an odd fascination with human toes.  Mojo was born with Leggs Perthes disease and does not have a hip joint in his left rear hip.  He walks with a slight limp and does have some pain associated with the disease.  We are consulting our veterinarians to see if FHO surgery would be beneficial.  Mojo knows the verbal and hand signals for sit, down and stay.  He is also house and litter box trained.  He gets along great with other dogs and is accustomed to living with a two year old human puppy.

• Shiner

  Out with the old and in with the new brought Shiner to pug rescue.  Her owner got two puppies and decided they didn’t have time for the old dog.  Shiner is about 7-8 years old and has had a pretty rough time of it.  She has a severe skin infection and is currently being treated with antibiotics and medicated baths.  Unfortunately, she is also heartworm positive.  This sweet lady is laid back and prefers spending her days on someone’s lap or a soft bed.  She is housetrained, gets along well with other dogs and is accustomed to living with young children.  Shiner will begin heartworm treatment in the next week or so.

• Wanda

  Wanda is a 6-7 year old huggable lovable pug!  She gets along well with other dogs and is easy going...not to mention....gorgeous!  Wanda was an owner surrender at a local shelter.  Because she is heartworm positive she was deemed unadoptable.  She is recovering from a bladder and ear infection and will begin heartworm treatment in the near future.  After heartworm treatment she will be spayed and have several mast cell tumors removed.  One tumor on her foot will require the amputation of several toes.  She also has some hip and/or rear leg issues and further testing will be needed to determine the cause.  Wanda's vet care will be quite expensive, donations in her name are greatly appreciated.     Posted Jul 03 2008, 12:50 PM by admin

• Princess

  Princess is a beautiful petite pug that just turned one year old! She is recovering from mange (not contagious) and will have all her hair grown back in soon. She was born with hip and knee issues but gets around well on her own. Her xrays are under review, it is not yet know whether or not surgery can repair her bones. If you have a big heart for a little girl, please contact us today!     Posted Jul 03 2008, 12:46 PM by admin

• Thumper

  Thumper is the cutest mystery mix of breeds we've ever seen! She is 12-16 weeks old and a very well behaved sweet puppy! Currently she weighs 18 pounds. She has a big head but very short wide legs and feet (like a basset hound). The woman that placed her in our rescue group said that she and her litter mate were found in a ditch.  Sadly their mother, a pug was also laying in that ditch, shot to death.  Please consider adopting Thumper and you'll see what a marvelous little girl she is!!!     Posted Jul 03 2008, 12:41 PM by admin

• Finnegan

  Finnegan came into our rescue group and went straight into hospitalization. He was malnourished, lethargic, dehydrated, high heartworm positive, coughing and infested with parasites.  His blood work was off the charts and the vet has never seen so many microfilaria in a drop of blood.  Chest x-rays indicate his heart and lungs are severely damaged by heartworms.  They also suspect he has a collapsing trachea.  His toenails were so overgrown that they were making a second circle back under his paws. He is a sweetheart of a pug, never makes a fuss, and always greets visitors with tail wagging.  Our vets estimate him to be 2-4 years old but physically he looks 6+ due to neglect.  Vet care for Finnegan will likely top $2000+.  We currently need funding for continued blood work, testing  for collapsing trachea, and for his heartworm treatment.  Finnegan is now in a foster home, with a long hard fight ahead of him but he will travel that road with all the love and care that we can lavish on him.  Please consider a donation for his care.     Posted Jul 03 2008, 12:35 PM by admin

• Tulsa

  Hi my name is Tulsa and I am from the state of Oklahoma.  I as in doggie prison and was sprung by these nice Texans.  I am about 2-3 years old and a handsome fella.  Nobody knows my history or how my manners are but I spent the night in a foster home and they said I did fine with other pups and love to play.  If you think I might be the ONE please ask for me. UPDATE - 2/1/2008 Tulsa is just a really sweet dog. Gets along with my two pugs and our English Mastiff, as well as our 7 year old granddaughter. Would be okay as an only dog, also. He does have to be in the same room as the human he owns. He doesn’t have to be in your lap although he is okay with that and is a very good snuggler. He is content to sit at your feet or lay in a doggie bed, chair, your bed or couch-just as long as he is in the same room. He can be an escape artist;he managed to wiggle through the wrought iron fence but came back when called. I think he would be very good with someone who works at home or could accompany you to work because he is well behaved.     Posted Jun 15 2008, 01:58 AM by admin

• Liza

  Dexter Cumberbun is estimated to be between 5 and 9 years of age. We don’t know much about his previous life but it must have been pretty tough.  Dexter is missing one eye and has dry eye in the other one which requires daily eye drops.  He has several mast cell tumors that need to be removed due to their  size and location.  Dexter gets along well with other dogs, is happy and playful. He is a very charming pug, he always has one eye winking at you!     Posted Jun 10 2008, 01:10 PM by admin

• Mr. Wizard

  Mr. Wizard -- Mr. Wizard and his lab brother were found wandering the streets of an Austin suburb. Kind neighbors took them in and when the owners were located they took his brother home but they didn't’t want Mr. Wizard. They said “they expected him to keel over any day”. As far as we can tell Mr. Wizard needs a little help but is far from “keeling” over. He also needs surgery to remove several large mast cell tumors and two broken teeth and may have arthritis. Mr. Wizard is a husky smutty fawn gentleman of about 5-7 years old. He gets along great with everyone, dogs, cats, kids, birds... everyone who meets Mr. Wizard says he is an awesome awesome dog. Come see for your self!     Posted Jun 10 2008, 12:54 PM by admin

• Maggie

  Maggie is an eight year old fawn female pug. She is an alpha and may do best in a home with no other dogs and no cats.
