IMPORTANT INFORMATION!
- KPR
serves the states of
Kentucky and Indiana.
Permit No. P08-001703
If you are outside of those states, please feel free to
visit
Pug Rescue Links for a rescue that serves
your area or
www.petfinder.org.
- An
Adoption Application
must be completed.
Before you can be considered as an adoptive home for any
Pug, you must complete an application. There are no
exceptions.
-
Review our
Adoption Application Process!
Before submitting your application, please review our
adoption process. It will answer most questions you
have about what's involved in adopting a Pug from KPR.
- KPR
can not answer any questions about a Pug until you have
an approved application on file.
This is due to the high volume of inquiries we receive.
We are all volunteers who are very busy rescuing, caring for
and transporting the rescued Pugs.
- We
do NOT have a central facility
where you can visit our rescued
Pugs.
Our Pugs live in foster homes, where they are
observed, evaluated and cared for until we find their ideal
adoptive family.

Caring for a Pug!
We want you to have all the information you need
to decide whether or not a Pug is right for you and your
family.
-
Adoption Donations are not negotiable.
We understand that you may not agree, but we ask
that you respect our policies. Please understand that
we spend much more on medical bills than we recover in
adoption donations for most of the Pugs we rescue,
especially our senior Pugs.
- Our
Pugs do not come with a health guarantee.
All of our rescued Pugs are spayed/neutered, up-to-date on
routine vaccinations, fecal tested and heartworm negative
prior to placement. Although we do provide the medical
treatment and testing listed above, please remember that our
Pugs are rescues and therefore we have no way of
guaranteeing that they will not have medical issues in the
future.

Definitions
Available - We are reviewing our approved applications, looking for applicants we feel
would be a good match with the rescue Pug.
We are contacting applicants to schedule home checks.
Medical Hold - We are reviewing our approved
applications, looking for applicants who we feel would be a
good match with the rescue Pug. However, there is an
existing medical issue
that will need to be addressed before an adoption will occur.
Adoption Pending - We will no accept adoption
applications for a Pug who is listed as adoption pending. A
home check has been completed and we have approved an
applicant. We are now in the process of scheduling a
pre-adoption meeting. If everything goes well at the meeting,
the adoption will take place. |

We'd like to introduce you
to Buster (# 490). Buster is approximately 5-6
years old. Before coming to KPR, Buster was a homeless
pug found wandering the Indiana Toll Road. Buster is
very lucky that he was picked up by some kind people
that took him to their vet. Buster was very thin and had
to have both eyes removed, which was ok because he
couldn't see out of his eyes and they were causing him a
great deal of pain. Buster's foster home is working on
getting him to a proper weight. Thanks to KPR, Buster is
now healthy and getting lots and lots of TLC. Buster is
devoted to his foster mom and since he is newly blind,
he depends on her and clings to her when possible. She
is working with him on housetraining and indicates that
he is paper trained. We think that once Buster feels
settled and gets used to his new routine his
housetraining will come along quite well as his foster
mom says he is very intelligent.
Buster would make a loving and devoted companion for
some lucky person and would fare well in a home with
another animal companion. He enjoys sleeping in bed with
his foster mom and is a good natured, gentle boy. Buster
was a hard luck puggy, but he's got a bright future
ahead of him.

Lucy (# 393) is a
very special, loving little girl. She is estimated to be
10 years old. Like all puggies, she,
of course, lives to make me happy and wants to be in my
lap or right next to me at all times. When I come home
from work, she is jumping and yipping to say hello and
that she missed me. That is always followed by lots of
kisses. What makes her so special is that she has no
eyes. She was apparently born without her left eye and
developed severe glaucoma and a growth on her right eye.
Her former owner(s) apparently could not care for her
and luckily Kentuckianna Pug Rescue found out about her,
rescued her, and arranged for the vet care that she
needed. Her vet determined that the best course of
treatment was to remove her right eye as well. You would
never know it! Within a few short hours she found her
way around our house and yard and hasn't missed a beat.
She gets along great with her foster brother Pug Pax.
They just follow each other and me everywhere.
Lucy is housebroken with routine attention, schedule,
and trips outside. She does great staying home with Pax
while I go to work. They sleep side by side at night and
eat together like they are at a buffet. Lucy just wants
to be loved and to give love. She's only been around a 9
month old baby so I can't say how well she manages
children. She loved him though. He liked to pull her
ears and she just gave him a face full of kisses. She
never once misbehaved or reacted. She is very sweet,
very loving, and very very special!

Buddy (#607) is a
very happy 5-6 year old boy that loves to play with soft
toys and chew on his bone. Buddy is your typical "velcro
dog" that loves to follow his people from room to room.
His foster home continues to work on his housetraining
and have found that belly bands and crating work well.
Buddy loves to sit by the window and watch the world go
by. He gets along well with other dogs and loves to take
a ride to the pet store and have kids pet him. This
active little fella would love to call your home his!

MEDICAL HOLD!
Jessy (# 519) is a 6 yr old petite little girl that
weighs about 14 pounds and is full of energy. We know
nothing about her past, other than she was heavily bred
and recently had a litter. She was dumped at a shelter
after hours, apparently because she has demodex mange.
She would have been euthanized within a couple of days
if KPR had not taken her.
She gets along well with other dogs, but wants to be the
boss. She loves stuffed toys and eats well. She would
probably be best with a submissive male. We do not know
about cats. She is doing better on her potty training.
She is getting weekly mitaban dips for the demodex and
is looking much better. She's on eye drops for dry eyes
and will be rechecked.
Jessy is a very sweet loving little girl that needs lots
of TLC.

Noodles (#603) and Daisy (#604) are a bonded
pair of fawn pugs. These sweeties are about 8 years old
and we think they were used for breeding at some point
in time in their lives. Their foster home has taught
them to sit on command and they continue to learn
general obedience. Noodles and Daisy love long walks,
kids and adventure but they also love to sit on your lap
and cuddle. Their foster home crates them when no one is
home to help enforce house training. They are very
intelligent dogs that learn quick. If you're looking for
a great set of pugs, look no further! Noodles and
Daisy are on medical hold until they have been spayed
and neutered and have had dentals.

Gizmo (# 378) is a
young (approx. 2 - 3 years old), action packed bundle of
love! He spends his days playing with toys and other
pugs, and taking naps! His favorite activities include:
eating, giving kisses (big sloppy ones), playing with
toys (he is not happy until the stuffing is gone from
his stuffed toys), taking naps, getting his belly
rubbed, and running around the yard like crazy! Gizmo is
ready to be both a playmate and a lap warmer!

Henry ( # 369 ) is a very
laid back Gentleman whose age is between 5 and 6 years
old. Henry was born with an underdeveloped right eye,
which has no vision capabilities, but he gets around
fine without it. Henry prefers to spend his days
lounging around in his foster Dads recliner looking out
the window or watching Television.
As the evening moves in,
Henry will casually move over to the big bed where he
settles in for the night. Every once in a while, he will
feel like a game of tug of war with his furry foster
siblings, but for the most part, he is a couch potato.
Henry is easy to win over. All you need do is give him a
few vigorous belly rubs throughout the day and he will
be your friend for life. Henry requires inexpensive eye
drops to protect the vision of his good eye and he is
very polite about having them put in.

Meet Hank (# 390), a
5 year old fawn male that turns 6 June 23rd. He is a
very sweet boy that will keep to himself but also likes
to play with other dogs. Sometimes Hank plays a little
rough, but a quick no and he responds. Hank is about 80%
housebroken. His foster home continues to work with him
in this regard. He loves to play with plush toys and
sleeps in his doggie bed at night. Hank is not a huge
cuddler but don't let that stop you, he's a very sweet
pug that needs a lot of love and attention. We think
Hank would do quite well in a home with kids to love and
play with (kids 8 and older). Since Hank has had urinary
bladder crystals in the past, he can only eat Science
Diet CD, which is available at the vet's office (a bag
of CD costs as much as a bag of premium dog food). Hank
is very food aggressive, not only with his own food but
also when his foster mom and dad are eating. If Hank is
touched or a dog bumps him while they are eating, he has
nipped. Being that Hank loves food so much, we would
look to place him in a home with children over the age
of 8 please.

Puddin (KY #398) is
an absolute sweetheart. He just turned 5 yrs old in
March. I think he looks older, but once he sheds a few
pounds, he'll look like the 5 yr old that he is. He is
as good as gold. He is very loving and likes to stay
close to his foster mom. He loves to sleep on the pillow
by his foster mom's head, but he does need a little
boost to get up on the bed. He has no problem with the
stairs though. He loves stuffed animals and chew bones.
And of course, FOOD! He does need to lose a few pounds,
but he has been working on that. He loves to be
outside with his foster brothers. He has the sweetest
mushy face! He would do great in any loving home.

Missy (# 435) is
a well-mannered female approximately 4 years old. She is
a real sweetheart. Missy is housebroken and like most
pugs, loves to eat! (although her size doesn’t reflect
it) She gets along very well with other dogs and cats
and is recovering from being recently spayed. Missy has
a skin allergy condition that is responding fairly well
to mild baths and ointments. Because of this, she does
have a little body odor. She loves bath time and her
favorite sport is chasing the water stream from a water
hose! Missy really likes being chucked under the chin.
She tolerates her pedicures and ear cleaning very well.
She was micro-chipped at the animal shelter before she
was rescued. She is a great pug who would make someone a
wonderful companion!

Tessa (# 394) will be
4 years old on July 4th and is in excellent health. She
grew up with a Jack Russell Terrier so she runs fast and
is a pretty active. She is good with children and cats.
Tessa is a little timid at first with other dogs. She
loves to play with them but needs a little more work on
socialization. She is not fully house-broken yet but
working on it! Tessa is very quiet and gentle. She
rarely woof's, never growls and doesn't snore very
much! She loves being next to you or on your lap and
really loves those belly rubs!

Hi, my name is Jake
(# 388) but sometimes they call me Jakie. I'm a full
bred, pug-a-licious 7 yr. old fawn male. When I wrinkle
my forehead a musical eighth note appears! I also
sometimes get my upper lip hung-up on one of my teeth
and make funny faces. I get along great with my foster
Pug sister and cats don't exist even if they're sitting
right in front of me. My foster mom say that I am polite
to everyone. I am almost fully paper trained. I've been
on medication that causes me to drink a lot and I only
like to use clean, dry training pads. I prefer to go
potty outside. I like to be with you all the time. I
will sit on your lap if you help me get there and help
me down. I'll lay on the floor and wait if you're
cooking! I love to take walks but I'm only moderately
active in the house. I have toys but they're not all
that interesting. I like chewing on rawhide bones and I
love any kind of treat. (Could you have guessed?). I
liked to rub and to be rubbed and petted, but most of
all I need a permanent someone to love me!
I require some medication to help me make tears and with
the excessive pigmentation in my eyes. Also because of
the pigmentation problems in my eyes, I move a little
slower. Could I be the puggy for you?

MEDICAL HOLD!
Jemima's (# 395) life
took a good turn when she wandered into a Good
Samaritan's yard during a snowstorm. She had intestinal
worms, was severely malnourished, had infection in both
ears and generally had not been cared for. This Good
Samaritan took her in and took her to the vet. Then she
contacted KPR.
Jemima is such a sweet little pug. She is estimated to
be around 8 years old. She is a little underweight at 14
pounds, She loves to lay at your feet or beside you. She
also loves her crate and will go in it by herself to nap
during the day. She sleeps well in it at night. Jemima
has a little weakness in her back legs/hips, but she
doesn't let it slow her down. She gets along great with
kids, other dogs and totally ignores cats. She is a
little treasure that someone will be very fortunate to
adopt.

Meet this little sweetie
named Roxie (#479). Roxie is about 10 years old,
in excellent health and is just adorable. She enjoys
riding in the car and walks perfecting on a leash. Roxie
is crate-trained and spends her free time in her crate
napping or chewing on her rawhide bones. She likes her
crate door left open so she can go in whenever she
wants. Roxie gets along well with other dogs, but if she
needs some "me" time, she will retreat to her cage. She
is a pretty low maintenance type of gal -- doesn't bark
alot and will only jump on furniture if invited. We
think that Roxie will make you a wonderful companion!

Barney (# 505)
is 10 years old, but you would never know it. He runs
everywhere he goes and he plays longer than any of his
foster friends, all of whom are much younger. The vet
says Barney is the picture of health and has many years
of play left. Barney has spent much of his life roaming
outside on a farm and he loves to run and explore. He is
not happy in a crate, but will go in and stay for a
while. We crate him while we are gone because he is not
fully potty trained (he is learning!) and he stays in
nicely. He is always the first one out of his crate and
the last one in-he is a free spirit and definitely not a
couch potato. We think he would probably love to be
someone's running buddy! Barney has a zest for life that
is contagious and energy that is boundless. He is not
destructive in any way, is compliant in whatever is
asked of him and is always ready for an adventure. He
walks on a leash well, likes to ride in the car
(although he gets very excited )and will follow you
wherever you go. He is not a typical senior-he acts like
a puppy and would much rather be playing than laying
around. He is wonderful with our three small children
(he does need to be reminded to not jump up on you) and
he gets along with his four foster dog friends quite
well. Overall, he is one cool dog that makes people
smile wherever he goes.

Zoe (# 380) Hi! My
name is Zoe and I'm known as a "Puggle". One of my
parents was a pug and the other a beagle! I am 3 years
old and haven't had much luck finding my forever home
yet. I have lived with two families in my short life. I
got sent away from my first home because my family
thought I was too active (but I was just a
puppy!...we're all active when we're young). The second
family left me outdoors all year round where I had
nobody to play with. I learned to make my toy ball my
best friend and keep myself entertained. I enjoy my
foster parents and foster pugs because we go out to play
fetch. It's my favorite game! I play until I can't run
anymore, but I just love it! We have cats in our foster
home, but they don't bother me and I don't bother them.
I would really love to go to an active family that could
take me out to play ball, go for walks or even just to
run and play in the yard! I get along fine with other
dogs and love my human friends a lot!
I am extremely intelligent and quick to respond to
commands. My first family taught me how to sit, speak
and play dead on command, but if I get too excited I
sometimes forget how...especially if my toy ball is
nearby! I would love to find my forever home that will
give me the safety and security that I've been missing
in life so far. Won't you consider me for your new best
friend? I promise to fill your life and home with love
and laughter that only a pug (or puggle) can provide!

Hi! My name is Napoleon
(#452) and I'm an adorable 8 year old fawn boy who loves
to play. The guy next to me is my bestest buddy in the
whole world - his name is Julius (#453) and he is
an 8 year old beagle mix. We love playing together and
we really love playing with our foster mommy’s 15 month
old baby girl. We are very good boys with this little
one - we only accept treats from her when she offers
them to us and we love it when she hugs on us. The four
cats at the house are friends of ours now too. Julius
and I make friends with everyone we meet. We are in
great health except that we still have a few pounds to
loose and I take eye medicine in one eye twice a day. My
pal Julius and I go everywhere together. We are potty
trained, crate trained, and very well behaved. Our real
mommy took very good care of us until she passed away so
we need a new forever home to call our own. We would
love to meet you and your family.

Bugsy (#500) and
Ezzy (#501) are a bonded pair. Bugsy loves to give
Izzy kisses any time they are together.
Bugsy is a 9 yr old fawn male that weighs 25 pounds. He
is very loving. He does not play with toys, but does
love chew bones. He is housebroken when kept on a
schedule. He gets along very well with his foster
sisters who are all under 2 yr old. He doesn't play with
them much. He loves to be in your lap with you rubbing
him constantly. He will only jump on the couch when you
ask him to. He has no known health issues, is up to date on
shots and has been neutered. We have not experienced any
marking behaviors. He could care less about the cats in
our home, it is like they are not even there. His bark
is more of a woof and not a loud bark. It is actually
very cute. He is comfortable sleeping in his crate, only
with his Ezzy girl. If he sleeps in your bed, he likes
to share your pillow. He is a great car rider, doesn't
mind baths, or pedicures.
Ezzy is a black 7 yr old female that weighs 20 pounds.
She is a very sweet girl. Don't let her age fool you,
she can run with the best of them. She doesn't play with
toys, but loves to chew on bones such as booda bones.
She also gets along well with her foster sisters. She is
not as tolerable to cats as Bugsy. She will chase them
if they run from her. On occasion, her and the cats will
sit next to each other and receive attention from their
humans. She is also in very good health, but has had a
severe reaction to vaccinations. Whoever adopts her will
have to be aware of this and have her monitored closely
when she receives them. Her bark is much louder than
Bugsy's, but she will quite down with a stern NO. She is
housebroke as well, up to date on shots and is spayed. She is
comfortable sleeping in her crate but prefers the bed.
She is also very good when she has her bath.
These two will make a great addition to any family. They
will fill your heart with love just with their
personalities.

Puggy's
Pals for Pugs!
Alison Shafer
|
|
Puggy (# 465) is an
absolutely wonderful pug. He is 14 years old, but acts
like he's still 4. The vet checked him out and he is in
perfect health. Puggy is blind, but does very well
navigating wherever he needs to go. The vet also said
that he has many very good years left in him.
Puggy was picked up from a home after his first owner
passed away. There was no one to take care of him and he
was very thin when he first came into KPR. He has since
fattened up to at least normal pug size. He loves his
crate and generally sleeps there. His foster home leaves
it open for him when no one is home and has not come
home to any "surprises".
Puggy does very well with other dogs and kids. He loves
to be picked up and held and soaks up all the love he
can get. Puggy has been offered to sleep with his
fosters but prefers to be in his crate.

bocephus

Hello! My name is
Bocephus (# 358) I am estimated by the vet to be
around 3-4 years of age, but don't worry! I still have
some puppy in me! I love to play with squeaker toys,
even if the squeaker in the toy no longer works. I love
to sleep in the bed with my foster Daddy and cuddling in
your lap while you watch TV or type away at the
computer. I'm the perfect companion! I don't like bath
time much, but I'm trying my best to get over my fear of
water! I'm working on doing tricks so that when I come
into your home I will be the perfect little pug to keep
you company. I have had very few potty accidents as long
as I can go outside on a regular schedule about 3-4
times a day. I do very good around other dogs, but I'm
not too sure of cats. I'm good with kids too! I love the
extra attention! I would prefer to be placed in a home
with little to no carpet, carpet makes me feel itchy and
it turns my underside red. My foster Mommy says I snort
a lot, but it's just part of my personality and you'll
always know where I am! I have a tendency to chew on
whatever is laying on the floor that I can get my mouth
around (including pens, pencils, paper, bottle caps...),
so my foster parents are trying to get me out of that
habit. I've been moved around a lot, so really I just
want a nice family who will love me always!

Johnny (#463) and Yoko (#464) are a bonded
pair. Pugs come in all sorts of different shapes and
sizes and Johnny is no exception. Johnny is a 4-5 year
old pug that is a little larger than a normal pug in
stance and has a bit of a longer snout. He is a big
teddy bear who wants all the love you can give him plus
more. Johnny gets along well with other dogs and
children, however we do not recommend children under
five due to his size and excitement. Since Johnny can
jump over baby gates, he is crated when his foster
family is away. Johnny loves to sleep in foster family's
bed and sleeps upside down at times.
Yoko is approximately 6 years old and is a Pug /
Chihuahua mix, more affectionately known as the "chug".
Her color is absolutely beautiful and she has the
softest coat. Yoko loves to crawl up and sleep with you.
She gets along with most dogs, especially Johnny,
however she will occasionally have issues with other
female dogs in the house. Most of the time you will find
Yoko curled up on the couch napping, keeping to herself.
Yoko is crate trained and can be crated with Johnny.

chynna

Chynna (# 512) is an extremely sweet pug. She's
only 7 yrs, but she has some premature gray. It only
adds to her beauty. She loves to be in my lap and it
doesn't matter who is already there. If I'm at my
computer, she'll jump from the floor up into my lap
without a second thought. She goes up & down the stairs
like nobody's business. She loves to play with her
foster brothers. They play tug-o-war a lot. She loves to
play with the mini tennis balls. They're her favorite.
Her favorite game is to put one of her tennis balls into
one of my shoes and spend HOURS trying to get it out.
She has a stuffed animal that she loves to sleep with
every night. She'll even get it in the evening when
we're watching tv so that she can lay with it. She'll be
taking this with her to her forever home...if it
continues to survive the washing machine. She had a
foster sister for a while, but she found her forever
home. Chynna was NOT sad to see her go. Chynna would do
best in a home with no female dogs. She gets along great
with her foster brothers though. She's actually curled
up in a doggie bed with one of her foster brothers right
now. She snores a little, but not bad at all. She is
crate trained and loves to sleep in her cage. She is
house broken. She loves to eat, but she wants the other
dogs to stay away from her and her food while she is
eating. But she's not aggressive with me at all. I can
take her food away with no problem. But of course, I
always give it back. I just like to remind her that I'm
the boss. Her favorite treats are Beggin Strips.
Actually, that's the only treat I can get her to eat.
And no generic Beggin Strips for this little lady. She
knows the difference and will not eat them. Her vet says
she's in great health and her 18 lbs is perfect for her.
Chynna is a very sweet and loving little girl.

Hi! My official name is
Nicholas Maxwell, but everyone calls me Nick (#
457). I am a pure-bred Pug born on June 2, 1998 and am
registered with the AKC. I may be considered a "senior"
Pug, but don't let my age fool you...I am full of spunk!
My favorites are my stuffed hippos and squeaky soccer
balls. I sleep with my foster parents in their bed and
yes, I snore. I get along relatively well with the other
Pugs in my house but I love my humans most of all. I
weigh 21 pounds, which the Dr. said was just right, but
I am slightly hard of hearing. I also have slight vision
problems. However, none of this slows me down. What can
I say? I'm just a loveable, handsome guy!

TicTac (#504) is a fawn female who is estimated to
be about 3 years old. She weighs about 20 pounds, is in
perfect health and has the cutest under bite that makes
her bottom teeth always stick out. TicTac is full of
energy and loves everything a sweet little pug should
love: toys, people, and food. TicTac is a bit of an
alpha and gets along really well with her 5 foster
brothers, although she doesn't get along with her foster
sister all the time, who is also an alpha. TicTac loves
to get her younger foster brothers to play with her, but
they can hardly keep up! If she's not playing, she is
chewing on a bone or snuggling on the couch. She is
still working on being completely house trained, she
isn't the best at letting you know she needs to potty,
but if she is let out on a regular basis she does fine.
Since TicTac is a bit of an alpha, we would look to
place her in a home with more submissive dogs,
preferably males. TicTac hasn't had much exposure to
children, but she has done well with her foster mom's
3-year old nephew. TicTac loves attention and follows
her foster mommy around all day when she is home. She
does really well on a leash, but has the most fun when
she can run like wild in her foster home's fenced in
yard. TicTac is the sweetest little lady, won't you open
up your heart and home to this gal?

Kelsey (# 308) is
a 7 year old young lady. When Kelsey was first
surrendered, she was urinating blood and had a bladder
full of stones. She underwent surgery in the Spring of
2007. Her KPR foster parents who helped her recover from
her surgery loved her and adopted her, but due to a job
loss and commuting to find work, were unable to continue
with her care. At this point she was surrendered back to
KPR. She had a number of medical issues, including
a yeast infection in her folds, ear infection, dry eye,
and in need of losing ten pounds. She had sprained her
back and X-Rays showed arthritis in her back and hips.
Her proud foster Mom is happy to report that Kelsey is
now down to her ideal weight; her arthritis is under
control with Cosequin, a nutritional supplement; and her
last visit to the ophthalmologist showed a dramatic
improvement in her eyes. She will continue with
treatment with eye drops and ointment for life. She did
have some urine sediment and red blood cells show up in
her urine while she was on her weight loss diet; on last
check of being on W/D diet for a few weeks (a premium
diet costing about the same as other premium dog food)
her urine was clear. She will need urine checks
periodically to monitor her urine and make sure stones
are not redeveloping. The infection in her folds is
resolved but she does need them cleaned frequently.
Are you the family that can help Kelsey live out her
remaining years? Kelsey is the sweetest, happiest and
most joyful of pugs. She is crate trained and
sleeps in her crate at night. Kelsey's ideal home would
include probably some doggie brothers (she's the only
girl in the house and likes to keep her brothers in
line) who like to play and a human family well versed in
pug care. She's great with kids, doesn't seem to mind
about cats (she'd play with one though), and loves to go
for walks.

MEDICAL HOLD!
Aliza
(#371) is approximately 14 years of age. When Aliza
arrived into her foster home, it was discovered that
she was heartworm positive. Aliza underwent her
heartworm treatments like a champ and is now heartworm
free.
Due
to Aliza's age, she is visually impaired and doesn't
have the best hearing, but she's still a feisty little
gal that insists she gets as much lap time as
possible. Aliza is not a picky eater and will sleep
wherever. Her foster mom says she's super smart and
will tackle anybody who contests her right to a warm
lap. Aliza is not potty trained, but if you watch her
closely, she will do the classic pug spin long enough
to give you warning to get her outside or on a potty
pad. Aliza does need artificial tears put in her eyes
on occasion so her eyes don't dry out and is on
medication for allergies.
Aliza's foster mom shared a funny story - she has a
ceramic toad that has artificial flowers in it.
Everytime her foster mom leaves the house, Aliza pulls
the flowers out and makes a bed. Apparently Aliza
prefers her bed of flowers as opposed to the numerous
pillows and dog beds in the home.

Billy Bob (# 456) came to KPR after his beloved
owner was placed in a nursing home. Billy is 13.5 years
'young' and loves to spend his days lounging on the
couch. He gets along well with his foster brothers and
sisters and would probably get on well with older
children, as he's more of a couch potato than a
playmate. Billy is about 95% housebroken and is just as
sweet as can be! He has had issues with kidney stones in
the past and needs to be maintained on a special diet to
ensure they don't return. If you have an empty spot on
the couch, this special senior boy would be glad to fill
it.

Belar (#430) and
Gizmo (#431) are a bonded pair of loving, active,
healthy pugs. Their ages are estimated to be 10-12 years
old. These two love all people and get along with all
walks of life. Their foster mom reports that they are
gentle, well behaved, housebroken pugs. Gizmo has
learned how to use the doggie door and appears to be the
younger of the pair. These two are great dogs are are
extremely likeable. Whomever adopts them is lucky
indeed!

Nellie (# 345) is an 8-10
year old female who came to us very sick with Giardia, a
parasite that causes vomiting and diarrhea. She was
extremely dehydrated and had to spend several days in
the hospital before we could bring her to her foster
home. Once we got her well enough, she went into the vet
for vaccinations and tooth cleanings and came out with
only six teeth! She manages fine with those six teeth
though, and like any pug, loves her food and never
misses a meal! She is a sweet girl who loves her new
foster mom and follows her everywhere. When mom leaves
she sits by | | | | |
