Hello everyone.  My name is Bazzle as in Razzle-Dazzel and if I do say so myself I am rather dazzleing.  I'm quite the 4 year old gentleman (most of the time).  I do so love to sit in your lap while you work or watch TV, or nap.  I like being comforted because you see, I was attacked by 2 big Pit Bulls.  I put up a rather valiant effort, but I was no match.  Due to the confrontation and the fact that I already had a little hip displasia I walk a little differently on by back legs, sort of like a person with MS walks.  But it doesn't slow me down much.   My foster mom laughs all the time at my efforts to catch that pesky squirrel in the back yard.   I almost made it one time.  I love to go on walks with my foster brother and sister(as long as it's not too much concrete as it rubs the tops of my feet when walking).  I may not be able to walk as far as they do, but I keep up most of the time.  I guess my x mommy & daddy just couldn't handle it cause I'm not perfect, but I promise you I make up for it in cuddles, and kisses.   If you think you can find it in your heart to love a good looking guy that's willing to give you heart and soul than I'm your guy.  Please ask for me.

My name is Precious and I was born blind.  Actually, a bad bloodline produced me with tiny little things that were supposed to be eyes but never formed. I was found just a few pounds thin, blind in a storm drain during a rain storm.  A kind soul picked me up and took me to their vet where I broke their hearts.  They fattened me up, rehabbed my back legs that suffered a trauma and I couldn't walk, gave me my vaccinations and vet tech took care of me for a long time.  They contacted DFW Pug Rescue in Houston and they came to pick me up.
 
I was trained by a DFW expert in blind dogs and have so much love to give.  It'll probably take a little adjusting to my new digs but no doubt if you just reassure me and point me in the right direction and PLEASE don't move the furniture too frequently!  I'll adjust to my patterns and the safety of your lap and my crate.  If you have it in your heart to give me a chance, just know my little puggy head is tilting sidewise awaiting to hear your voice and smell your sweet scent of love.

Hi there!  I’m Belinda formerly known as “Ignored”.  I am a very smart and sweet 2-3 yr old Chug (Chihuahua and Pug mix).  Since being rescued by DFW, the kind vet has treated my kennel cough, hookworms, and I have been spayed.  I am 100% housebroken, get along with cats and other dogs, ride well in the car, and love to play with EVERYONE (especially kids and stuffy toys)!!!!  I have lots of energy therefore kids 5 years and over will be preferred.  Please hurry and fill out an application for me, I am anxious to go to the Dog Park with you!!!!

Yes, my name is Forgotten and for good reason.  My story is a sad one.  I am one of those designer dogs that pulls some big buckaroos on the streets when we are puppies.  I'm a Chug and the AKC even recognizes us as a breed now. Someone was going to take me and "call back" when they came to pick up a dog who I had a lot in common with but she was all Pug.  I was supposed to go with her but they left me behind. I didn't do anything wrong.  I'm so adoptable and lovable.  How could you do this to me?  How can you call me a designer dog and promote me one day and then throw me into the "mix" pile and leave me behind to be euthanized?  Well, thank goodness DFWPRC has someone that kept an eye on me and I was sprung from doggie jail just hours before it could have all ended.  I'm a boy that needs some real TLC.  I've got a lot wrong with me that needs to be fixed and that is all going to be taken care of.  Name a worm, any worm and I've got it!  But hey, that's all fixable.  I thought that I should sit on the lap of the lady who picked me up from jail.  She gently explained that she needed to see to drive and watch the speed limit!  I'm happy and loving despite my ailments and thank the lady who rushed over to get me out and to the vet.  I know I'm special because of everything that's been done for me!  If you have any extra change and donate to my care it would be fabulous.  We've got some fixing up to do!  Photos will come soon!

Scarlett is a  4-5 year old sweetheart who has adapted quickly to her new freedom.  Her continuous wagging tail is an indication that she enjoys the change in  her environment from the cage that she called home to full use of the house.  This precious girl  is darling in appearance and gets around well with her two strongest senses (smell and sound).  Although it appears that she has been blind from birth, since she arrived at the foster home in November, she has learned to sit on command , use the doggy door and potty outside with some training and encouragement. She sleeps in her own bed at night and loves to play with stuffed toys.  Although she may be blind, she will find her way into your heart quickly.

Blindness in an animal is known to be harder on the human than the animal.  They adapt easily.  DFWPRC of Texas has had numerous blind Pugs and we have fosters who have experience with them who can help you.  We also have other information on blind dogs as well.  It doesn't change them, but it will change you.  You will learn to admire the ability of these animals to adapt. Thank you for considering one of our special needs Pug angels.

UPDATE April 1, 2008
This is no April Fool's Day joke!  I can sit and roll over now.  Is that unbelievable?  Sight means nothing to us!  I'm a real smarty, ask my foster mom and dad.  I know what my baby is too!  I do everything for a treat of course!  My potty habits are terrific.  I sometimes have an accident at night in the kitchen where I hang out but that's it.  I've had a wonderful family teaching me things.  Can you open up your heart and home to me?  Don't let special needs fool you.  Blindness in me in harder on humans than it is on me!  Really!  Thanks for checking me out!

I'm Ernie.  I was sprung from the same dog jail with Ethel.  She's kinda cute ya know but I don't date older women!  I am a happy, energetic two year old boy.  I love to sleep, play with the other dogs and cats, and snooze on the bathroom floor or at the foot of the bed.  I love to do just about anything, especially run and eat treats.  I am catching on quickly to the potty training thing.   I am heartworm positive so my foster mom is busy teaching me something about a crate so that I can be nice and quiet during my treatment which will start soon after I get fixed on Valentines Day.  What a day to pick to "fix" me huh?  I have a bobbed tail (go figure!) that I love to chase and that combined with my beautiful apricot coat just adds to my charm!  I insisted on the profile shot for my pictures.  I thought you might like it!  Thanks for considering me!

Update 5/5/2008

It's me Ernie and I'm feeling soooo much better now that I got rid of those nasty heartworms.   I am one hot dog!  I love to play, smile, play some more, take treats, and oh, did I forget play?  I can get a little touchy about my rawhide chew flips and lunch with other dogs.  They should all be mine, right?  I think I am doing pretty darned good with no accidents.  So if you are looking for one smooth, good looking young guy, pick me and you won't be disappointed.

My name is Bambi and I'm a boston terrier with a pinch of pug. I stopped to rest at the front door of this really nice lady's house and when she saw me she was about to out for a jog. She was surprised when she came back that I stayed there waiting for her. I had nowhere to go. She brought me some water and I drank it all up fast. She wondered then if I needed some food and I ate all that too! It got me in the front door where I was bathed for my skin condition, loved, given a bed and two big dogs I thought were ponies. She checked to see if anyone was looking for me and they weren't. She reached out to rescues to find me a home because she was afraid of my fate at a shelter and boy, she was right! I'm 10-12 years old and about 10 pounds under weight. My heart is damaged from a severe case of heartworms and the disease makes me a bad candidate for heartworm treatment. It would kill me faster than it would cure me. Heartworm prevention will help though because it will kill off any babies and work on some of those adult ones too. I love to kiss and be kissed and I love a human lap and belly rubs. I've got a bed to call my own and other pugs to hang with. I'm a complete lady in the potty department too. I need some extensive care so if you have any extra change and can toss it my way that would be great. Thank you for checking our website.
