Molly Sue (#179) is wonderful!! It didn't take very long at all for her tail to be up and wagging. She is very laid back and sweet. It appears that she is housebroken too, because she goes to the door. She is a plus size girl so she is going to put on a diet. She is used to eating anytime and was being given table scraps...so she is very cushy. She really is beautiful and has the most wonderfully precious under bite.  Molly Sue is the puggie on the far right!

Her mother is a pug (CC #122) and we guess that her dad could have been a beagle. Bosha definitely has part Beagle in her as she enjoys chasing anything that moves outside and loves to run. She would do better with a fenced in yard where she can run free, right now she is being taken outside on a leash and her foster mom is getting lots of exercise with her!

Adopted - December, 2006

CC is more of a cuddler and loves belly rubs and attention. She will require eye drops for the rest of her life since she does not produce tears and her eyes dry out. She is slightly blind, but that does not stop this little girl from getting around. CC is slightly older than her foster moms senior pugs, and she does circles around them, so do not let her age scare you. She is perfectly healthy and very active for a senior pug.

Rodney (previously Tuesday) (#238) is a lovable 2 year (age estimated) old male puggle that was pulled from a shelter in Central Indiana the day he was to be put down.

Adopted - August, 2006

Willie (#226) had a long life with someone who decided they didn't want him any longer...we're not sure why - could be they couldn't afford his medical care any longer. We don't know Willie's exact age, but we do know that his is a senior (12+ years old). Willie is 'legally blind' - he has very little sight due to an old eye problem that was neglected.  He has arthritis and bad teeth. Willie had 10 teeth when we got him and had 5 really bad ones pulled. It was obvious his mouth was a source of pain for this sweet boy. Due to his lack of teeth his bottom jaw has started to deteriorate. This doesn't slow him down though!

Priscilla is having surgery the first week of June to open up her nostrils and trim down her elongated palate. They are both very loving and sweet, and get along well with other dogs and children.

He is a true "Miracle Love Pug"....

Adopted - July, 2006

Spanky is the sweetest dog! He absolutely loves human attention. He's your typical pug couch-potato, who is most content just to rest by your side and receive lots of belly rubs. We don't know Spanky's actual age, but the vet estimates him to be about 8 years old.  He only has about eight teeth left. His  back legs are a bit weak, which the vet thinks may be a sign that he is in the very early stages of arthritis. It just means that he doesn't jump on furniture,  but he runs and plays outside just like any dog. Spanky loves going outside! He is completely housetrained.

Adopted - June, 2006

Jenny is approximately 2 1/2 years old.  She came to KPR because the Doberman she was sharing her home with did not get along with her.  She is very timid and shy around strangers and other animals and can be a bit aggressive.  This is possibly due to her previous experiences with the Doberman.

Adopted - June, 2006

Harley and Trouble are under 2 years old and littermate brothers. Don't let their names fool you, they are wonderful little boys! Harley and Trouble are housebroken and love to give kisses. They came to KPR as their original owner was not able to give them enough time. These boys were very much loved by their original owner and it shows. Harley seems to be the bigger brother of the two. He sits quietly by and waits for Trouble to finish eating before he digs into his. Trouble’s name definitely fits his personality but not in a bad way. He has a mischievous playful side, which is reflected, in his sneak attacks on Harley. They are very energetic and will play with each other for hours and then lay down for a nap next to one another.

Adopted - June, 2006

We will also be looking to place them in a home without small children (older children are definitely ok) as they can play a bit rough at times.

Adopted - June, 2006

Buddy was surrendered by a very loving home. He weighs 22 pounds and will be 9 years old on August 30. He gets along with other dogs and children. Buddy is a pretty laid back dude.

He plays well and would make anyone a really sweet, laid back little puggie.

Spike is a exuberant one year old male. He is a great little guy who loves to cuddle up next to you on the couch. He also loves to run around in the yard and play, play play!!!! He gets along well with his foster pug sister and brothers and also with the cats in his foster home. He loves children too, although he is probably too much puppy for anyone with small children (under two). He will do fine in just about any home - he just loves everybody! He is mostly housebroken, but will try to mark occasionally so his new home will need to work with him on this!

Tiny Tim (so named because he is tiny) came to us as a rescue from a breeder. Tiny Tim is high strung, but will sit in your lap and let you give him all the “lovin” you can!  He is missing his left eye and is mostly blind in his right eye, but he is highly adept at using what little vision he does have to get around. Stairs are tricky for him, but once he learns the ropes, he navigates them fine. Due to his eye conditions, he will need medication once a day on his eye for the rest of his life – otherwise he has a clean bill of health.
