Bob's Pals for Pugs!
|
Dan & Mandy Justice,
in memory of Brent Black
|

|

|
|
Bob (# 753) is a 5
year old blind pug that relies on his other senses to
successfully navigate the world. Meet him and you’ll see
he wants the same things as any other pug. He craves
companionship and wants to be held and petted. He curls
up next to his foster to cuddle, but will also curl up
next to the other pugs in the home on the puggy bed. He
gets along well with other dogs and even likes cats. Bob
loves to eat and certainly enjoys his treats. He is big
eater and is heavily motivated by food. He likes to roam
around outside and explore all the smells in the yard.
While he is hard of hearing, he still responds well to
certain pitches. In fact, he has been taught that a
double clap means “come here” and so you’ll see him tilt
his head towards you and then head your way when he
hears this sound. Snap your fingers in the house and
he’ll come to you for a pat on the head. Bob is a good
boy that sleeps without a peep through the night in his
crate. He does best on a schedule and does go outside to
potty. He is exceptionally smart and easily trained.
Check out the internet for more information on living
with a blind dog. Dogs are so much more adaptable than
us humans because they rely on senses we seldom think
about and those senses are greater than our own. Dogs
rely heavily on their sense of smell, taste, touch, etc.
In fact, a dogs nose is 1000 X better than ours and can
detect scents in the air we would never smell. A dog can
feel and perceive things that we never even notice, such
as vibrations, movements, light, air, & pressure
changes, etc.

Molly (# 920) is an adorable 3.5 year old female
pug that lives to please her family. As you can see in
the photo she loves to play with toys and is a master at
tug-of-war. She also spins in circles putting the best
figure skater to shame. She is energetic, but by no
means hyperactive. She would be great with kids who
would run and play with her.
Molly is kennel trained. She is housebroken, but her
fosters are still trying to figure out the communication
for when she needs to go out so they are just routinely
taking her out every 3-4 hours and she will go to the
bathroom at that time.

Bruce (# 768) is a
beautiful, well-behaved pug who is estimated to be
somewhere between 2.5 to 3.5 years old. He is fully
potty trained and has had no accidents in his foster
home. He obeys “sit”, “down”, and “stay” commands
and is great on the leash. He doesn’t even bolt when
given the chance. His foster says (and I quote), “He
loves people and will come running back when called
(unlike our other insubordinate pug).” He is an
eager-to-please energetic pug that wants to be with
people every minute. He is very friendly and gets along
well with the other pug in the home and even the cat.
The cat doesn’t return his affection though, but he
doesn’t give up! Bruce does desire the alpha position so
while he gets along great with the other pug in the home
he will be a little pushy sometimes posturing for
attention and nudging the little girl pug off the lap he
wants to sit in. In addition to being good with dogs and
cats, he also gets along great with human children. He
loves to sleep in bed with humans and is a big, warm,
fuzzy snuggler!
Bruce has been described by his foster as a “10” on the
pug cuteness scale because of his beautiful black face
and perfectly curly pug tail. He’s a hefty fellow
tipping the scale at 30 lbs, but isn’t fat, just
big-boned.

PJ (# 772) &
DeeOgee (# 773) are a bonded pair and need to be
adopted together.
PJ is 4 years old and weighs around 15 lbs. She is a
small gorgeous girl with a great personality. She is
always quick to add her 2 cents into any disagreement
among the pack and can be a bit bossy with her sister,
deeOgee. She shows no food aggression and has no potty
issues. She is great with the kids in the home and the
other dogs, but doesn’t care for cats. She likes to sit
on the back of the couch or beside you. She does love
attention! While she doesn’t care for a car ride, she
will tolerate it. Amazingly enough though this pug is a
sweetheart when it comes to baths and nail trims.
deeOgee is a 4 year old female weighing about 12 lbs.
She has a great personality just like her sis, but is
more laid back and submissive. She doesn’t even mind
cats. Her favorite place to sit is on the back of the
couch near your head. She love attention and when she
wants more will jump on your lap and give you kisses.
She can give five! She likes to paw at you when she
wants something. Also like her well behaved sister she
is potty trained and no trouble when it comes to baths
and nail trims, but unlike her sister she is good with
car rides and doesn’t bark at anything.

Freida # 794 is very much a little princess. Her
fosters call her Thumbellina because she only weighs 13
pounds and is 3 years old. She has never messed in the
house or bothered anything. She loves attention and
likes being a lap dog. She just ignores the two cats.
Even though she had a horrible case of demodex, her coat
is already shiny after two dips. She also had an ear and
eye infection, but now her ear infection is almost gone
and her eyes are clearing up too. She loves to ride in
the car. She also loves to snuggle up in bed with you.

Jett (# 779) is a very energetic approx. 1 year
old pug that gets along great with all of his foster
brothers. He is very loving. He plays hard all day, but
sleeps the whole night through. He is crate trained and
housebroken. Loves to eat and will whine softly while
you're getting it ready. He didn't know what treats were
when he got to his foster home, but he definitely knows
now! Jett is a wonderful little boy!!!

Jake (# 776) is a
very smart little puppy. He knows when the lights go off
that it is time for bed so he runs into the bedroom,
opens the door to his crate, and gets in. His foster
parents have him in a routine where it is up at 6am, out
to potty, and then to the human bed for some snuggle
time until 8am. He loves to snuggle! He is great with
cats and other dogs. He likes to cuddle on the couch and
go for car rides. Like most puppies he is active and
energetic. His fosters call him a "playing machine".
Jake is doing very well with his potty habits and is
about 90% house trained. His new family is just going to
need to continue a routine and provide some positive
reinforcement. He is a little food aggressive so he is
fed off to himself, but otherwise he is great with
others, even kids. He has been treated for Keratitis and
it may be temporary, but it may also be something that
will require medication long term.
This cute little guy prances around when he walks like,
"hey, look at me!". He is very loving and would make a
wonderful addition to any family. He is not quite one
year old.

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 a lot and will only jump on
furniture if invited.

Here’s Moses (#
1002), a super friendly and sweet boy that gets along
well with dogs, cats and kids. Matter of fact, he hasn’t
met anyone on two or four legs that he doesn’t like!
Moses is approximately 5-6 years old, loves attention
and will sit next to you just so he can get a healthy
dose. He’s crate trained, likes car rides, walks, and
playing with stuffed toys. Moses is always up for a good
game of tug-a-war with his stuffed bone.

Meet Rex (#1011), a handsome 10 month old little
‘Bug’. He has the Pug build but the beautiful Boston
Terrier brindle markings. Rex is a hefty boy already
weighing in at 15 pounds but the vet says he isn't over
weight.... yet! He's very timid but once he warms up and
learns he can trust you he's very sweet. Rex is doing
great with potty training and just recently started
using the doggy door. All he needs now is someone that
will love and work with him as he is still very much a
puppy.

Brutus (# 886) the
“Bug” (Pug / Boston Terrier mix) is just 2 years old and
a very good boy. His foster mom says he’s very sweet, he
loves other dogs, absolutely adores children, and is
especially gentle with babies, but he also loves the
toddlers. Any time the kids are sitting in one of the
chairs or on the sofa, Brutus gets up and lays down on
top of them, between them, wherever he can! He loves
playing with his foster Bug brother so much that we
think he would like to have a canine friend, but would
probably be okay alone too, as long as someone was
willing to walk him and play with him. Brutus has
typical Bug energy that would need an outlet. He's a
little timid when he first meets someone, and is scared
in situations he is unfamiliar with. We highly recommend
that he is kept on a harness and leash at all times when
he is out of his comfort zone, since he will try to
bolt. We think Brutus has not had much experience in the
"outside" world, and until he needs someone who can be
patient with him and help him get socialized, get used
to going places and coming home. Brutus will chase cats
in the house, but he would really love to have a fenced
in yard to run in. He loves to chase his foster Bug
brother (and vice versa) all over the yard, running as
fast as they can.

Bella (# 761) is a lovable and cuddly 3 1/2 year old
fawn pug. Bella loves to go on walks and is at ease with
other dogs and cats. She is especially sweet with
children. She is completely housebroken. She has lots of
energy but also loves to snuggle and watch tv on the
couch. At night Bella sleeps in her own bed in her
foster mom's room and stays in a crate while she is gone
to work. Bella is a fashion diva and loves to get
dressed up. She has quite a wardrobe that her original
owners sent with her. She loves to play tug with her
stuffed snoopy and hippo. Bella is currently taking a
Benedryl daily for allergies and may need a prescription
dog food.

two-years-old. She loves to play with her rope toys and
get in a great workout with a trail run alongside her
people! She also loves other animals and enjoys play
dates with her friends Winston and Maria! Penelope is
incredibly sweet and loves to cuddle. She has had some
trouble with kidney stones, but she’s had some great
care and seems to be coming out on the other side with
new energy! With lots of positive encouragement and
regular potty breaks, she’s making excellent progress in
re-learning house rules. Penelope is the perfect
addition to her family, and she is so very grateful for
her new home!

Wendy
(# 759) is a talented little pug. In fact, she is what
is known as a “triple threat”. She sings, she dances,
and she acts.
She’ll do a cute “wiggly dance” when excited and she
sings upon request. She’ll act like an alpha at times,
but then she’ll also follow the lead of other dogs in
the home. She enjoys being around other dogs. She also
enjoys sitting in your lap and receiving attention.
She is estimated to be around 6 years old and she weighs
approx. 23 pounds. She is house trained and will go
right to the door when she needs to go out. She
tolerates being crated, but doesn’t love it. She sleeps
through the night without a peep. She is friendly
and loveable.

Scooter (# 782) is a
great family dog having grown up around kids and other
dogs. At 3 years old he is young and active. At 12-13
pounds he is small and petite. This wonderful little pug
is potty trained and crate trained.
Scooter has a ton of energy, but will also wait
patiently beside you if you are busy with something
else. He enjoys eating and playing. He also enjoys
sleeping in bed with his foster family. Scooter is a
great guy.

Lincoln (# 766) has a
great big goofy and lovable personality. He is so
grateful to be out of a shelter and among people and
other dogs. The vet gave him a clean bill of health and
said he doesn’t know how he lost his eye, but suspects
it could be a birth defect. He loves to play with other
dogs and they have a ball playing with him. He loves to
watch TV with his remaining good eye. Every time dogs
are on TV he goes crazy. It's really funny to watch! At
night he sleeps in his fosters bed with the other
spoiled dogs. They say after a few minutes of crawling
across their heads to lick them to death that he finally
goes to the foot of the bed and sleeps peacefully all
through the night. During the day when no one is home to
watch him he is placed in a single room where he goes
right in and lays down on his bed. He never makes a mess
and seems to be well potty trained.
His foster family says that anyone would be lucky to
have this wonderful pug and that no one would ever be
disappointed having a friend like Lincoln. In fact, they
told us that everyone that goes to their home to visit
wants to take Lincoln home with them! He is loved by the
entire foster family and is great with kids. He’s always
just happy to have someone to play with and love on.
Companionship is all it takes to for this 4 year old
beautiful black pug to be content.

Harley (# 728) is a 7 year old short, stocky, macho
pug that just loves to hang out in the room with you. He
is content to lie at your feet or cuddle up next to you
& watch TV. He enjoys going for walks & is perfect on a
leash. Harley knows to “heel” and marches right next to
you flawlessly matching your pace.
It is important to point out that Harley can be socially
awkward & a little bit stubborn. He doesn’t like cats so
he may growl, bark, and chase them or he may ignore
them. It just depends on his mood. For the most part he
gets along great with other dogs and will even share
food and toys, but again, he does have his moments. For
this reason we recommend he not be placed in a home with
cats or children.
He is crate trained and his potty habits are excellent.
He comes when you call him and is learning to sit on
command. Best of all, he is extremely low maintenance
and even enjoys sleeping in really late.

likes a good game of tug-of-war with her rope toy. She
gets along well with other dogs, is smart, and easy to
train. She adapts well to new situations and enjoys
meeting new people. This peppy and playful pug mix wants
to be the center of attention.

Foxy Lady ( # 710) is 3 years old. She was
surrendered by a family who had a new baby and did not
feel they could afford to take care of both a baby and a
dog. Foxy stopped eating, and her family thought she was
refusing to eat because she was upset about the new
baby. Once she came to KPR, the vet determined that Foxy
has a condition called eosinophilis myositis. This is a
disease that can affect any dog, normally around the age
of 3. It affects the muscles, and can cause the jaw to
lock, which is what happened in Foxy's case. When she
first came to foster care, she was so weak she could not
lift her head, stand or sit...but her spirit was still
intact and her tail was wagging. Foxy had a surgical
procedure done to help unlock her jaws, and is now
eating quite well and can even eat kibble on her own.
She is holding her head up and is trying to get her feet
under her so that she can push up and go play with the
other dogs, which she so badly want to do. Foxy's
muscles have completely atrophied, however, and the vet
has told us that if they are too far gone, there may be
nothing that can be done for Foxy. We must wait through
the next few months and see if she regains any use of
her muscles and is able to sit and stand and control her
bowels. We are all hoping and praying that this sweet
little girl can make it through, she is a very loving
little girl and her wagging tail constantly shows how
grateful she is to have a second chance.

Otis (# 765) is an absolutely adorable Pug puppy.
He came to KPR with a malformed
liver and an esophageal stricture or an area near the stomach
that has scar tissue and made the esophagus very narrow.
Otis has had multiple surgeries to help his conditions.
Sadly, there is no cure for the liver problem, but it is
being managed with medications for the remainder of his
life. The good news is that Otis has no idea that
his liver isn't functioning properly and is simply
enjoying all the love and happiness he has received
since coming to KPR.

Meet Chewie (# 699), a super cute male pug that
is approximately 4-5 years old. While Chewie is a bit
shy at first, once he makes friends he is quite loving
and affectionate. He has been doing very well in his
foster home, getting along great with the other dogs in
the house. Chewbie’s foster mom says that he is like
most pugs and loves food, but he is not aggressive.

Meet
Charlie (# 828), a black male Pug/Boston Terrier
mix, also known as the “Bug”, who is approximately 1 ½
to 2 years old. Charlie is in great health and is very
affectionate once he establishes a trust with you. He
loves his chews and runs around in large circles when he
gets excited! Charlie has some nervous tendencies when
he hears loud noises or quick movements. His foster home
continues to work with him on this and we believe once
he is in a stable environment he will continue to
flourish. Charlie has done really well with his foster
home’s 12 and 13 year old grandchildren, but tended to
hide when younger children were chasing him. For that
reason, we would like to place Charlie in a home with
older children. Charlie gets along well with other dogs
and cats. He is crate trained and eager to please.

Kachy (# 850)
and Simon (# 851) are a pair of bonded pugs that
must be adopted together. Kachy is a 5.5-year old female
pug that absolutely adores her 2.5-year old brother
Simon -- so much that she never lets him out of her
sight. Like your typical pug, this pair is crazy about
human contact. They are crated while their foster
parents are at work and sleep in bed with them and three
other pugs at night. Both dogs are housebroken and enjoy
their privacy during feeding time. Simon loves playing
with all the other dogs in the house, but Kachy prefers
Simon more. She does tolerate the other dogs, but she
doesn't like the other dogs getting within her "bubble"
(her "bubble" consist of mostly facial area). Once the
other dogs figure that out, she is fine.

Percy came to KPR when he began fighting with the other

tested. He passed with flying colors! Percy gets along

and the cutest white muzzle.

capture your heart. Popeye is a 9-month old fawn male
pug that came to KPR after his owners had to transition
into housing that would not allow pets. Since Popeye is
so young, he’s got a lot of puppy energy. He is missing
one eye from a previous injury. Even though he has one
eye, he gets along great. Popeye is housetrained and
catches on to things quickly. Popeye is a bit of a
ladies man as he adores his foster mom. He gets along
great with other dogs and loves kids.

Lillie Mae (# 887) is
a pug's bug - a Boston terrier/pug cross - that at first
glace looks as much like a pug as any bug can. Fawn with
a black mask, it is only her Boston ears and Boston
shaped face that gives away her true heritage. Lillie
Mae is 2-years old and her foster dad describes her as a
smart, sweet and happy girl with a tail that almost
never stops wagging. She loves all people but since she
likes to be the boss, she will only be placed in a home
with a submissive male or no other dogs. Lillie Mae has
been known to bark at and chase the house cat, although
it's only meant in good doggie fun. She loves kids and
would love to spend her days playing fetch in the
backyard. Her foster dad says that she loves to fetch so
much that she will fetch literally anything you throw
and bring it right back to you and drop it at your feet.
While Lillie Mae is tons of fun to play with, she also
loves to cuddle and wants to be in your lap as much as
possible. Lillie Mae is completely housebroken and crate
trained.

Hi my name is Kona (#
890). I am about one year old and I am full of puppy
energy. I weigh about 22 pounds and I’ve heard that I am
just as cute as a button. I really look forward to my
foster parents coming home from work and like to greet
them in only a way I can. Since jumping is part of my
greeting, I might accidentally knock a little person
down. I love playing with my foster pug brother and also
like to play with cats! Like most pugs, I enjoy laying
on the couch with my foster parents. I have many toys,
but my favorite toy is a bone. I sleep in a kennel at
night and am oh so loveable.

Madison (# 876) is a delightful 6 year old pug
that is just flourishing in her foster home and looking
forward to finding that special someone that will love
and care for her the rest of her life.
Madison is crate trained and will sometimes just go hang
out in her kennel when she tires of playing with the
other dogs in the home. At night she prefers to sleep in
bed with humans. In the morning she is up at 8am and
lets you know she needs to go out and wants her
breakfast. Her little tongue hangs out the side of her
mouth due to some missing teeth. As with all KPR pugs,
she has received vet care and is up to date on all shots
and preventatives. She has also been spayed. During the
day Madison likes to curl up beside you on the couch and
nap. She gets along great with other dogs and also with
children. She enjoys walks, but still needs more
training on the leash. She does get cold easily and so
can be seen walking in a fashionable doggy coat. She is
small, weighing just 16 lbs.

Meet Maggie (# 877),
a sweetheart that is 5 years old. Maggie is a shadow to
her foster mom, following her wherever she goes. This
pretty pug wound up in a Northern Indiana shelter at
Thanksgiving time because her family lost their jobs and
were not able to financially care for her anymore.
Maggie is adjusting well in her foster home, learning to
play with other dogs. She still hasn’t caught on to
playing with toys yet, but we imagine she will be doing
that in no time as she learns from her foster canine
friends. Maggie is crate trained and is housebroken if
kept on a routine schedule. She loves to be petted and
loved and is ready for her forever home.

Curly
(# 735) is a well mannered 8 year old pug that is potty
trained and crate trained. His foster mom said he has
not had any accidents in the house. Curly comes when you
call his name and minds commands, such as “sit” very
well. He is a gentle boy that gets along great with
children and other dogs. He doesn't even mind cats. Toys
aren’t any big deal to him, but he loves to play with a
ball. He also loves the great outdoors and enjoys
romping around in the yard, camping, boating, etc.
Curly gets around just fine with one eye and has lived
this way for years so it is no big deal to him. He is a
good natured pug that just adapts well to any
environment. This wonderful pug is up to date on all
shots and preventatives. He also recently had his teeth
cleaned so that he would look his best for his new
family.

Jenny (# 742) or
“J-Bug” as she is sometimes called is 7-8 years old and
will talk to you through barking and dancing in a circle
when she is excited. She is very vocal and very cute.
She has a sweet, gentle personality. This trusting pug
will relax entirely when lying beside you or in your
lap. She often sleeps with just the tip of her tongue
protruding slightly out of her mouth, a look that her
foster mom and dad have fallen in love with. She is a
healthy 24 lbs and recently received a dental. She is
potty trained, crate trained, and also potty pad trained
(she’ll use a potty pad if you are unable to take her
out).

Bogey (# 767) is an adorable, energetic Boston
Terrier Pug mix (Bug) that is around 5 months old. He
loves hopping around, running in the snow, playing with
his numerous toys as well as playing with other dogs. He
prances when he walks and wags his tail constantly. He
is a little ball of cuteness and makes his fosters crack
up all the time. He is still learning good potty habits,
but has slowly been improving about going outside each
day. He is great with his foster brother and follows him
around all the time wanting to play.

Otie (# 749) is a sweet, petite little guy. He is
also very young at just 25 months of age. His foster
describes him as a “little doll” because he only weighs
about 12-14 lbs. His foster mom said that she has never
had a foster fit into her house so quickly. Otie waltzed
in, introduced himself to the other pugs, and just
settled right in. His tightly curled tail stayed rolled
up on his back even on the first day in a new place. He
is playful with the other pugs in the home and is just a
very good boy. He is even sleeping all through the night
in his crate without a sound. While he can get in his
own personal crate her prefers to cuddle up with another
pug and share one at night. He has a very good appetite
and loves treats. He’s picked up on the household
routine quickly and while he is great about going
outside to potty, he has marked.
Otie likes to lie beside his foster mom or curl up in
her lap and watch TV. He is very loving, but not much of
a kisser. His foster describes him as a “perfect angel”.

Brutus (# 751) is now 1 year old. As soon as I
saw the e-mail about a pug named Brutus needing a foster
home due to his current owners kids allergies, I had a
feeling that he was just the dog I had been looking for.
My husband picked Brutus up in Lexington on the night
that he was surrendered to KPR and when he brought him
home we opened up his kennel and out rolled the cutest
looking ball of fur I had ever seen. Right then and
there I looked at my husband and he said we are adopting
him aren’t we. He is the sweetest natured dog ever who
loves to play but also loves to lay on your lap and
sleep. He is defiantly not a watch dog since he can
sleep through anything. He is fully potty trained and up
to date on all vaccinations. Brutus gets along great
with dogs, cats, and kids. My friends and family love
Brutus so much that I have people fighting over watching
him when we go out of town. Brutus loves to give kisses
and is currently learning tricks, he sits great but we
are still working on the rest. Brutus is 17 pounds and
has a different coloring then most fawn pugs. He has
much more black running through his face and his body
then most do which truly makes him unique looking. He
would be a great addition to any home and I am so lucky
to have him as an addition to ours.

Daisy (# 744) is
doing great in her foster home, but really wants to find
a forever home. This 1 year old pug weighs 22 lbs and is
very playful with the older dogs in the foster home and
the children. She enjoys being outside and walks great
on a leash. The other pug in the home has helped Daisy
learn the boundaries of the yard so that she also gets
to play without a leash…although sometimes you have to
catch her to make her come in. She’ll just look at you
from a distance when she isn’t ready to come back in the
house, but if she sees the other pug getting petted
she’ll come running back so she won’t miss out on any
attention or love.
Daisy has chewed on pencils or small objects that are
left on the floor, but has left everything else alone.
This puppy likes to play fetch with a tennis ball and to
lick your face if you are close enough for her to reach.
She is a good eater and she watches her foster family
while they eat, but she doesn’t beg or bother anyone for
food. She has barked at the door when someone knocked
(maybe because the other pug did?), but was quiet in the
car at Sonic and didn’t bark at the other people or the
car hop (unlike the other pug in the home that barks at
everyone the first couple of times he meets them).
The vet has identified a floating knee-cap (luxating
patella) on her left rear leg, but doesn’t think it is a
problem for her currently. This could present a problem
for her later in life and is something the adoptive
family needs to be aware of. She walks on all 4 legs,
but will hold that leg up when she runs.
Daisy is a good girl and she sleeps all night without
disturbing anyone. Her foster family kept her in a crate
for the first 3 nights since they were not sure how she
would behave, but then she started sleeping in the bed
with one of their boys. Daisy is just an adorable little
puppy that is playful and well-behaved. She is great
with children.

What a good boy! Sammy Joe (# 727) is eager to
please and loves it when you lavish praise on him. He is
a well mannered pug that knows how to “sit” and “lay
down”. At night he even puts himself to bed by going
right to his crate when it’s time to sleep. He is
perfectly content with a chew bone and will sleep in
late. What an incredibly smart boy! You’ll have lots of
fun teaching this pug new tricks and commands. You’ll
also enjoy watching him play with stuffed toys. If you
are searching for companionship then you are in luck
because this incredibly charming pug wants to be
everywhere that you are and is extremely affectionate
and generous with his kisses.
Sammy is approx. 2 years old and weighs 21 lbs. He does
take 1 generic Zyrtec each day with his supper for
allergies, but this is inexpensive and easy to give
since he loves treats and has a good appetite. In fact,
he gets very excited when it is time to eat.

Harlee (# 739) is a very sweet, young gentleman with
the softest, jet black fur. At the age of 13 months and
weighing in at just 16 pounds, his puppy energy is
extraordinary. Harlee loves to be held and loved on. He
knows simple commands such as “sit” and “no” and walks
on a leash very well although the puppy in him wants to
run further than the leash allows sometimes. He is house
broken and in weeks at his fosters has only had one
accident.
If you are in a seated position, you can expect him to
be with you. He also has an adorable “Elvis” snarl and
when he is happy, his little tongue sticks out just a
tad. Harlee does not care for a crate at all! He does
stay there when the foster family is gone to work and
school but at night, he whines until he gets to get in
bed with his Foster mother. He just wants to be close
and doesn’t cause any problem in the bed. He likes to
sleep on his back, with his head on your arm but will
also just curl up as closely as he can get to you.
Harley loves, and immediately goes to children, but is
slow to warm up to strange adults. He gets along great
with the other dogs in the foster home but there are no
cats so we are sure how he would act around them.

Miss Dixie (# 822)
was rescued from a shelter in Southern, Indiana. Since
Dixie comes from a shelter, we don’t know her entire
background, but that’s ok because her foster home has
been enjoying getting to know this sweet little gal. The
vet estimates Dixie to be between 8 and 10 years old and
she has a cute white muzzle. Her back and rear legs and
hips are crippled and she walks on the knuckles of her
rear toes. Because of this, she is not walked on
pavement as her feet will bleed. Dixie is nearly
housebroken and sometimes needs to be carried outside.
Her foster mom says that Dixie is very patient and
seldom makes a mess while she is waiting to go out. She
gets along fairly well with her foster canine friends,
but can sometimes get a little crabby when one of the
other dogs tries to take her place on a lap while she is
getting a little extra attention.

Meet Bo (# 889), a 3-year old fawn male pug, that
was given up by his original owners due to their
declining health and inability to take care of him.
Since arriving in his KPR foster home, Bo has been the
sweetest little guy. He is completely housebroken and
has not had a single accident in his foster home. When
he has to go out, Bo stands at the door and sings softly
with the sweetest voice and wags his curly tail. Bo gets
along fine with the other pugs in the foster home, but
has not been around cats or kids. Seeing Bo’s
personality, we can bet that he wouldn’t mind a home
with either!
Bo’s foster mom says that he is very gentle and loving.
He did have some trouble breathing at first due to an
elongated palate and narrow nostrils, but this has been
corrected. Bo has no bad habits that his foster mom has
seen. He loves to run around in a fenced yard, but
mostly wants to be inside with his foster family. Bo
doesn’t show any interest in playing with toys, but he
does like to chew on “Busy Bones”.
Bo is very obedient and wants only to please. He
responds very well to a kind voice, knows simple
commands and is crate trained. Bo has the softest golden
fur, weighs in at 21 pounds, and is fit and trim.

Doug (# 884) is a one year old male that came to
us from a local Indiana animal shelter. He's a sweet
little boy with lots of puppy energy who gets along well
with everyone, dogs, people, and cats. Doug probably has
too much energy for young children, but would most
likely do fine in a home with older children who could
handle his puppy energy. He's not a big guy, weighing in
at only 18 pounds, but he has a big heart, full of love
to give. Doug’s a very smart boy who will go to the door
and ask to go outside, and is completely housebroken.

Brody (# 878) is a 2 year old bundle of sweetness
and energy, weighing 20 pounds. Since Brody was dropped
off in the night deposit at Fort Wayne Animal Control,
we don't know much about his background. Brody was so
scared at the shelter that he could not be put out on
the adoption floor because he was too frightened to
interact with people. It is hard to imagine, but this
adorable little boy would have been euthanized if not
for KPR, which would have been a travesty because he is
so sweet and such a good dog. He is shy in a new
situation, but warms up quickly and once he does, he is
a love sponge. Brody loves to be held and petted, loves
to nap under the covers, loves to cuddle right up on
your lap, chest or wherever he can get love. He is also
a bundle of puppy energy and his foster mom thinks he
might actually be younger than 2. Brody loves to play
with other dogs and would do best in a home with another
dog to play with to release some of his boundless
energy. Not only does Brody need a playmate, but he also
needs a canine companion, as he loves to cuddle up with
his foster brother. Brody will chase cats but is
fantastic with kids. Brody is a smart boy and has been
doing well with crate training and is also doing great
with housebreaking if kept on a schedule.

Meet Phil (# 880), a sweet little guy that is
loving, cute, cautious and loves to be held. Phil comes
to KPR from a shelter in Indiana. Since he was picked up
as a stray, we don’t know a lot about his past. But,
what we do know is that he’s about 1-2 years old and
that he’s a very friendly boy with lots of puppy energy.
Phil is an averaged sized pug, weighing about 18 pounds.
He loves people, other dogs, and gets along fine with
cats. Phil would really like a fenced yard to play in
and maybe a friend to play with. He's a real sweetie who
has done very well on his housebreaking and loves to be
the center of attention. Phil will require a little
extra care of his mouth, the vet told us he has a lot of
extra tissue for food to hide in and get caught. His
foster home has been brushing his teeth once a day with
toothpaste and a finger and that seems to do the trick.

Pants (# 750) is the most low-maintenance,
lovey-dovey, relaxed pup I've ever met. She is a calm
and sweet 5 year old. All she wants is to be wherever
you are, and to be loved and cuddled. The first night I
had her in foster care, I laid down on the couch and she
immediately hopped up with me and made herself at home
in the crook of my arm. So far in her time with us she
has calmly attended a birthday party, behaved
beautifully on a one hour car-ride, participated in a
photoshoot wearing a party hat (where she held still
better than the human subjects), cuddled with everyone
she met, and consequently made them all fall in love
with her. She calmly and happily follows her humans, and
only wants to be next to you, never demanding endless
petting or games. But she does love a good belly rub.
She also enjoys a good session of tug-of-war with a poor
stuffed victim, playing her little heart out and then
going right back to a lap.
This little girl is the best dog I have ever met. We are
all smitten with her, and she will make anyone want to
cuddle her, squeeze her, and love her. She is perfectly
potty trained, doesn't chase cats, and gets along great
with my pug but has tried to dominate a dog who was
larger than her. When she has had the chance to interact
with kids, she has been sweet and mellow, as usual.

year old pug that is housebroken and does fine being
left alone during the day. She gets really excited when
her foster family returns home after work. She loves her
bed, but also enjoys sleeping in the bed with her human.
Her foster mom says that she is a good snuggle pug. She
loves walks and going to the horse barn with her foster
in the evenings. She is good with other dogs and even
cats. Shelby isn’t sure how she feels about horses and
so she just stays out of their way. She does get cold
easily and so she enjoys wearing her jackets!

While Keegan (# 852)
and Kenzie (# 853) are not littermates, they have
been together for all of their lives, so we are keeping
them together as a bonded pair. This 6-year old pair was
surrendered by their owner because they simply did not
have enough time for the pugs anymore and wanted them to
find a home that could give them the love and attention
they deserve.
Keegan is a boy and the ringleader of the pair, but he
doesn't cause any friction with the other foster dogs
and learns the boundaries fast. Keegan does have some
skin allergies that are controlled through a weekly
bath. Kenzie is a girl and the more laid back of the
two, loves to snuggle and is a foot warmer. When
Kenzie's foster mom is working on the computer, you can
find her lying on her foster mom's feet, keeping them
warm.
Like most pugs, Keegan and Kenzie would prefer to be
with their people whenever possible, but they can be
left alone in the house with no problems. They are both
housebroken and crate trained. They love to play with
their foster dog friends, large and small, and get along
well with the cats too. Keegan and Kenzie are great with
people of all ages, especially kids. They like to lounge
around on their doggie pillows, but prefer hanging out
on the back of the couch. Both dogs are in excellent
health.

attention to her. She enjoys exploring outside, taking
walks, and rolling around in the grass…but she can also
be found hanging out on the back of the couch peering
out the window. She even likes to cuddle and watch
movies with her foster mom.
This free spirited 8 year old pug is thriving in foster
care, but eagerly awaiting the next step in her new
life. She loves attention and would benefit from a
family that has time to play and take her for walks. She
is incredibly inquisitive and energetic. Her foster mom
says that she is full of personality and just has a
tremendous spirit about her.

Bosley (# 760) is an 18 month old pug that had been
kept in a crate and used for breeding, although he isn’t
full-blooded. He looks like a pug, but his markings are
a bit off and his hair is just a little longer than it
should be. It is thought he might have a little
Pekingese somewhere in his background. He was kept
isolated and was described as “shell shocked” when he
was originally rescued. He would just huddle up in the
corner away from both people and dogs. He was very
isolated and used to only eating scraps. With some
patience and understanding Bosley started coming out of
shell. He has learned that people are good and is
working on his social skills. He is also eating dog
food.
Bosley’s fosters now describe him as eager to make
friends and enjoying the good life. He is getting along
with the other dogs in the home, as well as people
(young and old) that come to visit. His marking has
decreased a lot and will continue to improve now that he
has been neutered. He is going outside to the bathroom.
This once scared pug now prefers a human lap to a crate.

Ozzie (# 746) is
truly a family oriented dog. This 2 year old takes turns
sleeping with his humans on the sofa. He also sleeps in
his crate. He used to beg because he never knew when his
next meal would be, but now that he is settled into a
routine with a family that loves him he has almost quit
begging. He is a good boy and never messes in the house.
He can be a little aggressive with toys. He thinks they
all have his name on them even if another dog picks them
up first or is playing with them. The other dogs in the
home are passive so Ozzie gets his way. He is even good
with cats.

Meet Bobby Boucher (#
866) - named for the character in the movie The Waterboy.
Bobby is an 18 month old, hilarious little
goofball who is happy 100 % of the time! He prances
around like he is in a show ring commanding everyone in
the room to look at him and all you can do is laugh. "Bobbilicious"
as his foster family calls him, is absolutely enchanted
with any and all stuffed toys. He will chase them, throw
them up by tossing his head and then looks at you with
that sweet little face expecting you to pick the toy up
and give it back to him.
Bobby Boucher must go to a home
with another dog (or dogs) willing to play with him
since he has a lot of energy and is so playful. He is
hilarious and will play till he drops from exhaustion!
Bobby seems a bit down when he is not in the company of
other dogs, so having a play friend or friends would
make him most happy.
You will not need cable if you adopt Bobby, as he is
100% pure entertainment. Bobby hasn't had any accidents
in his foster home so far. Bobby has the endearing
quality of sticking just a bit of his tongue out when he
is looking at you.
