Deacon, who is approximately 5-6 years old, was dropped off at his local vet's office because his owners didn't want him anymore. This 'big' boy is very loving and just wants the attention he's been deprived of for so long. When we got Deacon, he was full of fleas and covered with dirt because he spent his days outside. His teeth were really bad and he had a gum infection.  He also was Heartworm positive, which required treatment.  He gets along with children and is housebroken.  He does not like car rides.

Roscoe - We think this fellow is a beagle/pug mix, but we are not positive. He is approximately 1 1/2 to 2 years old. Roscoe (otherwise known as Roscoe P. Coltrane) has fully recovered from his case of mange and has been neutered. He’s had several baths and looks like a show dog now! Roscoe is one of the sweetest dogs I've ever known - he is a true couch potato (although he loves to run and play in the yard too). Roscoe likes to curl up on the couch next to you and let you rub his belly - he gets along great with other dogs, and doesn't even seem to notice the cats. Roscoe gives a whole new meaning to gentle - he wouldn't hurt a flea.

Olivia "Livi" is a 1 year old puggle. The best way to describe Livi is FUN! She is a fun loving, happy little dog. She likes people and other dogs too, although she forgets who's boss sometimes. She loves to cuddle with you and is working on her manners (like not jumping into your lap suddenly). The Vet declared her healthy, she is current with her shots and will be spayed shortly. She's a little over enthusiastic about her leash and walking on it, so obedience school might be a help to her! She's a winner, everyone who came to our house for the Holidays, wishes they could take her home!

Buster is an 18 month old male pug. He was purchased from a pet store and has had problems with kidney stones in the past. Recently he had 30 kidney stones removed. His new owners will need to keep him on a specialized diet and he may need to take medicine for the rest of his life to keep the stones from recurring. Buster does come from a loving home. He comes to KPR as a result of a divorce.

When BoBo first came to KPR, he had a terrible bladder infection that revealed several kinds of crystals present in his system. This was partially due to being fed very cheap food.

Ivy is a 6 1/2 year old black female. She is very vocal and will demand your attention by barking and howling if she thinks you are ignoring her. She is a smaller little gal, around 17 pounds. She is an alpha (although her and her foster sister, who is also an alpha, co exist very peacefully) and loves to sleep in the bed with you. She is totally house broken.  Ivy is a "dream dog" in that her age, health and beauty are not always the norm in a rescued pug. Her favorite place, besides a lap, is the back of the couch, where she will nap and observe what all is going on in her "world".

Adopted - December, 2005

 
 

Beau is a very handsome puppy, born 5/23/05.  He is a pug mix (dad was a pug and mom was a puggle). He comes to KPR as his health needs were too expensive for his owner's budget. Beau has had two corneal graft surgeries in his short life and will need eye drops for the rest of his life.

Adopted - December, 2005

 
 

Skittles came to KPR with a somewhat of a mysterious past. We believe this little girl is around 5 years old and that she was maybe not treated the best by the man of the household (she was initially a little shy around men). The foster home has made great strides in getting her to trust men and they report that she is a very sweet and active little girl. Skittles gets along great with other dogs and kids and continues to work on housebreaking.

Adopted - December, 2005

Harley is a pug/beagle mix that is estimated to be somewhere between 1 and 3 years old.  Harley is a gentle (yet playful) bundle of love. He loves to be close to people - especially if it involves getting his belly rubbed! He gets along great with other Pugs and doesn't even seem to notice the cats. Harley is very smart and is just waiting for the right person to adopt him and provide him with the love he deserves.

Adopted - October, 2005

 
 


Blackie and Missy  ~ This bonded pair of  pug/peke mixes were rescued from a shelter. Since we come from a shelter little is known about their background. Missy's age has been approximated at 8 years and Blackie is between 3-5 years old.  We think Blackie may be Missy's son, but we're not for certain.  We have beautiful black coats and since we are a pug/peke mix, shedding will be minimal.  These two are good dogs, very sweet and loving. They get along with other dogs and don't bother cats. Blackie loves to play. Both just want to be near people and get loved on.

Adopted - October, 2005

 
 

Sadie is a one year old pug/beagle mix.  She weighs 19.8 lbs. She comes from a military family who surrendered her to an animal shelter because she was always running away and they did not have a fenced in yard. She is a joy and a love.  She loves children, ignores the cats and wants to play with the cocker spaniel, Sophie (however Sophie, who is 8, has no interest in Sadie).  Sadie has a soft, beautiful puggie face (although she is part beagle) and has the whitest teeth.  She is housebroken, loves going for walks, loves to kiss and snuggle.

Adopted - October, 2005

Adopted - October, 2005

 
 

Tucker had a rough start to life, but you would never know by meeting this quiet young man! He is a tiny little guy, weighing only 15 pounds. The vet feels he is between 1-2 years old.

Maverick's Pals for Pugs

Laurell K. Hamilton
 

Maverick is a young pug mix that we were able to get from a shelter in Crawfordsville, IN. Since 'Mavvy' was a stray we don't know much about him. The vet estimates him to be about one year old and says he is probably more shepherd than pug.

Adopted - October, 2005

Adopted - October, 2005

 
 

Bandit is about 7 months old.  He loves cats, dogs, and children.  Sometimes, being the puppy he is, he will aggravate the older, slower dogs, but gets along very well with the younger ones.  He does try to be a tad dominant and nips when he is too excited.  He does have some issues to consider, but he is a very sweet snuggle-bunny. Always wants to be right there with you, preferably sitting in your lap.

Adopted - October, 2005

 
 

Mickey is the cutest little pug mix. A KPR volunteer saw him advertised for free in a newspaper ad and scooped him up. He is around 5 months old and we were told he is a pug/terrier mix. He is all black and has the best  disposition. Mickey gets along wonderfully with other dogs, cats and LOVES kids. He is a very playful and gentle little boy that has a very unusual bark. Mickey is as tall as a full grown pug, but is more slender and he has a longer, curly tail.

Rusty's Pals for Pugs

Linda Johnson
 

Rusty was picked up as a stray in Western KY.  KPR got him from Ohio County Humane Society. He had a collar on that had nearly grown into his neck and fly bites on his little ears. He was apparently chained up some place and the best thing he did was escape from where ever it was. He had heartworms, was treated and is now negative.

Adopted - September, 2005

 
 

Yoda (formerly known as Mojo) is a four month old Pug/Chihuahua mix, and he certainly has the energy to prove it. Mojo's day is spent playing with toys and my other Pug.  He loves to go for walks and run around outside chasing bugs. Mojo has melted the hearts of those he has met and would be a great pet for somebody with another hi-energy dog or no pets at all. Because he likes to nibble and jump on people/things, he may not be well suited for a household with small children.

Adopted - September, 2005

 
 

 

Dozer is a 2 year old male pug.  He is a very laid back little guy and is absolutely adorable.  He loves his human foster sisters and brother and gets along great with his foster canine pals. This little guy will make a great addition to any home.

Adopted - September, 2005

 
 

Buster (Biddy) is a handsome pug-mix with a charming underbite that is just as sweet & good as they come. He is surprisingly gentle and very loving and affectionate. It is all too easy to become very attached to him!  Biddy is housebroken and has a clean bill of health! He is leash trained and understands some basic commands (ie. sit, come, down, up). His beautiful creamy caramel coat is soft and warm to the touch. Since he is a short hair, it is much easier to maintain his appearance without the chores that come with excessive shedding.

Adopted - August, 2005

 
 

Suzy is as cute as they come! She is estimated to be about a year old, but still has most of her puppy energy. She is mostly housetrained, and just needs a regular schedule to stay on top of it.  Suzy seems to be very bright, and shows signs of being easy to train.  She loves to play with other dogs and people. She would probably do well with a family who does not have any cats, as her energetic nature is a bit too much for cats to tolerate.

Adopted - August, 2005

 
 

Kitty is one of three pug girls we were able to rescue from a breeder in Indiana. She is around 4.5 years old and weighs 20 pounds. She had suffered from a previous injury to her left eye, which needed to be removed.  She is shy and a very gentle girl.  This girl will take some work to get her to trust humans, but we are hopeful that she will come around. You can tell that she wants to be around people, she's just unsure.

Adopted - August, 2005

 
 

Annabelle (formerly Stormy) is a beautiful 1.5 year old 16 pound girl that is guaranteed to melt your heart within minutes.

Adopted - August, 2005

The vet said his "ticker" is strong.

Adopted - August, 2005

 
 

At a year old, Frank is still quite the puppy. He's full of energy and loves to play with kids and other dogs. In his previous home he was jealous of a new baby in the house and started marking, so older kids would probably be the best.  He loves to have every minute of your attention.

Adopted - August, 2005

 
 

Cheyenne and Pugsley are a bonded pair (litter mates) that will be 4 years old in November. They came to KPR because their family is moving to Colorado and they have twins on the way.
