Dixie's Pals for Pugs
Golda Vargo
|
|
|
You've seen my daughter
and grandbabies. They are quite famous as KPR had a
webcam on them the past few months. Yes, Sassie was my
daughter and I am pleased that she and all of my cute,
chubby grandpuppies have been adopted. What a success
story! Now I am hoping it is my turn. Everyone commented
on her excellent mothering skills, which she got from
me.
My name is Dixie (# 910) and my entire family was
surrendered to KPR when a breeder went out of business.
I might be around 8 years old, but you wouldn't know it
by my energy level. I can keep up with you on your walks
and quite enjoy a leisurely stroll in the cooler
mornings and evenings. I get along great with others and
best of all, I am housebroken. I am really no trouble at
all and would be a good girl, but don't take my word for
it...here is what my foster family has to say about me.
Dixie is a sweet, gentle soul that would make a perfect
pet for any family. A great companion that enjoys being
petted, she is a gentle and kind-hearted pug. All we can
hope for is someone to reciprocate the affection she
doles out. Dixie is a gem!

Edward (# 827) just turned one in January.
This little guy is full of energy and he is incredibly
fast. He doesn't know he is handicap and so he needs a
human that doesn't notice either. Truly the only thing
that holds him back is his inability to climb stairs. He
is potty trained, crated trained, and plays with his
furry sisters and human kids. This lovable pug is the
best snuggler and the children in the home fight over
who gets to sleep with him at night.
Edward is a true victim of Puppy Mills. He
suffers from Dysplastic Elbows. He is unable to bear
weight on his front legs. After being rescued by KPR,
Edward did have corrective surgery for this condition,
however it did not work as well as we had hoped. Edward
now uses a cart to help him get around. It enables
him to see the world from an "upright"
position, to build strength in his hind legs and live a
bit more of a normal life.

Hooch (# 764) is an 8
yr old teeny pug weighing in around 12 lbs. and is a
spunky monkey. She loves to run around in the yard and
just as quickly turn into a cuddle bug. She loves
nothing better than to curl up on your lap or crawl
under the covers and snuggle close to your side. She's
adapted very well to living with a herd of pugs and has
never shown aggression towards any of her pug brothers
and sisters. Like all pugs she loves her food and
treats. Because she could not tolerate anesthesia she
was unable to be spayed so she will need a vigilant
forever home to protect her from intact male dogs. She's
completely house trained and has never had an accident
inside. If you're looking for a loving snuggle bug then
Hooch is your pug!

This very handsome and
distinguished pug is “Teddy” #926 named after
Theodore Roosevelt. He is a 3 year old fawn male with a
wonderful disposition. He loves to sit beside you and he
craves attention.
Teddy spent the first part of his life in a wire cage at
a puppy mill and lost one of his eyes to a bulldog. He
loves to play with his stuffed animals and the other
dogs in the home. He just ignores cats. He doesn’t like
his crate, but that is probably because he always had to
live in one before. His foster family just gives him the
run of the house and he doesn’t have any accidents so he
is a good boy and is potty trained. He makes a cozy bed
buddy and sleeps in one spot all night. He does require
drops in his eye once a day, but this is really no big
deal at all. It takes no more time than giving out a
treat.
Is there room in your life for a precious little boy
that is calm and laid back?

Jemima's Pals for Pugs
Mary Allen
Laura Abrams
Friends& Family of
Lindsay and Will
|
|
|
Jemima (# 395) is a
true KPR success story. Just look at her now!
This once frail little pug is now living the good life.
She is getting lots of love and attention in her foster
home and has made many new friends. Her foster mom and
Uncle Mike are spoiling her rotten, but sadly this isn’t
always how life was for Jemima.
A severely malnourished 9 lb Jemima wandered into a Good
Samaritan's yard during a snowstorm. Riddled with
intestinal worms, pneumonia, ear mites, infections in
both ears, and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease it
isn’t any wonder that the vet gave such a grim
prognosis. The vet wasn’t sure she would make it, but
this little pug wasn’t giving up and neither was her
foster mom. Jemima was slowly nursed back to health and
thanks to this foster mom’s love and attention that
pitiful 9 lb pug is now a healthy 19 lbs..
Jemima is such a sweet pug. She is estimated to be
around 8 to 9 years old. She loves to lie 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, but prefers to sleep in the warm bed curled
up next to her foster mom. This is allowed whenever it
storms because Jemima is terrified of storms. She has
puggy panic attacks! She knows when a storm is coming
even before her foster mom does, but her foster mom
holds her, loves her, and reassures her that everything
will be okay.
She gets along great with kids, other dogs, and totally
ignores cats. She is housebroken, but every once in a
while she may have an “accident” and pee on a puppy pad.
She’s a good dog that is potty trained and knows better
than to pee on the floor, but she is on medicine that
makes her urinate more frequently so her foster mom does
leave out puppy pads when she isn’t home just in case.
Jemima will use the puppy pads rather than the floor if
she cannot hold it. Jemima takes Lasix daily for her
COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease), and this
daily treatment costs approximately .20 cents a pill or
between $5 & $10 a month (depending on the
vet)…basically the cost is about the same as the
Heartguard or Frontline that you give your pet each
month.
Jemima is a little treasure and whoever adopts her will
be very fortunate. |

Wanna play fetch?
Lincoln # 923 is an energetic and playful pug
with a lot of puppy left in him (possibly around 1 year
old). His favorite thing to do is play "fetch". He is
good with children and people of all ages. He loves
other dogs and cats.
Lincoln was named after Abraham Lincoln because he is
long-legged and quite skinny. He also has a very
expressive face. While still quite young, he is already
housebroken and crate trained. It appears he had a
pretty rough life prior to being rescued because he was
underweight and had some fur missing on his back when he
came to KPR. No one is sure why or what he must have
endured. He can become anxious about being left alone
and will cry, which is probably why his fosters
recommend that he find a forever home with another furry
friend. He enjoys the company of others and will not
stop playing with the other pug in his foster home so we
know he would make a wonderful playmate for a family
searching for a companion for their own pet. |

Buster (# 783) (AKA
Crazy Legs) is a very good 2 year old boy. He has a very
sweet disposition and gets along great with other dogs
(including annoying young dogs that want to play a lot).
Buster is sometimes called “Crazy Legs” because when you
scratch his back, he loses all control of his hind legs
and they just go wild! He does seem to have some
separation issues when he is crated and there is often a
mess when you get home. However, that is pretty much his
only flaw. He had surgery on his eye in December 2008
and requires eye drops in each eye in the morning and in
the evening. However, he is VERY good about his eye
drops and really looks forward to the treat he gets
afterwards! Sometimes he even walks on his hind legs to
get a treat! |

Dally (# 771) is such a loveable little guy. He
is EXTREMELY affectionate with everyone he meets. He and
his foster brother get along very well. Dally, 8 months
old, loves to be the instigator and get his brother to
play with him whether he wants to or not! Dally is
potty-trained (almost) and has learned to sit. We are
teaching him to walk on a leash, but he wants none of
it. He doesn't like his collar or the leash. Dally loves
to be carried around like a baby and sleeps in bed with
his foster parents. He's a definite cuddler! |

Maddie’s (# 871) foster family said she is a
perfect lady that will go to the door and scratch to let
you know she needs to go out. She gets along great with
the other dogs in the home and doesn’t bother the cats.
She does like to guard her food a little. She loves the
human children in the home and is very sweet to everyone
she meets. She does get a little nippy and mouthy when
playing with humans, but it is not out of meanness at
all and is just normal dog play and she is still very
young.
Maddie is just under 2 years old. She is already potty
trained and crate trained. She doesn’t like to be
restrained at all so going to the vet can be an ordeal,
but fortunately that doesn’t have to occur very often.
Is your family ready for a sweet, playful pug like
Maddie? |

Baby Mae (#
780) is a 7 1/2 year old pug that gets along great with
cats and small children. She never meets a stranger.
She is housebroken and used to sleeping in a human bed.
She lived most of her life with someone that is deaf so
she isn't very good with verbal commands. Her foster
parents have been working with her on clicker and treat
training and she has responded well to this. Apparently
she was given table food in her past. She is a bit
overweight and likes to beg for food. This has
improved, but she does forget her manners sometimes.
She would do best in a home without stairs. She doesn't
jump up on furniture or beds. She treasures being
outdoors and enjoys short walks.
She loves
to be in your lap and snuggle. It is her favorite time
of day and she cannot wait for you to sit down so she
can be picked up and cuddled. She is a very sweet girl
and has stolen the hearts of many during the past few
months in KPR. |

Pepper Ann
(#1023) is a ‘spicy’ little 7 month old girl that will
completely win over your heart when you meet her. She
was named "Pepper" because she has a cute little
attitude. When told no, she obeys but sits back and
gives you a few of her tiny little barks like she's
talking back! And at play time she chases her foster
friends around, pouncing like a cat. Her middle name
"Ann" is for her sweet cuddly loving side.
Pepper
Ann is definitely a special ball of joy who remarkably,
at her age, follows commands such as "sit, get out of
the kitchen, go to your room & in to your kennel" and
what makes this all seem even more amazing is that
Pepper Ann has been completely blind from birth! Pepper
is exceptionally
perceptive with all her other
senses, she doesn't miss a beat. When she learns your
patterns such as her eating times, her potty times, your
resting/tv time, she will be there waiting on you! Her
lack of vision does cause her to be a little nervous in
noisy crowds. In those situations, she will normally go
to her room for safety. Pepper will go outside to potty;
however, she is afraid of going down stairs. We believe
that her fear of stairs will ease as she gets bigger and
learns her environment. This amazing little gal is
waiting to fill your hearts and home with all kinds of
love! |

Ozzie
(# 1030) and Sunnie (# 1031) are a pair of male
pugs. Ozzie is a 7 year old fawn male that is sweeter
than sweet. Ozzie is a good-natured, calm, quiet, well
behaved pug that loves to sit in your lap. He weighs
about 24 pounds and has a clean bill of health. Sunnie
is a 9 year old black male pug that also weighs around
24 pounds. In his younger days, Sunnie was shown at dog
shows. His foster mom says that he is the most "ideal"
conformation wise of any pug she’s fostered. These pugs
have always been well taken care of and are in rescue
because their owner passed away suddenly. Anyone who
adopts these two boys will be getting two wonderful
dogs.

Frank (#940)
is a brawny boy that likes to play with his toys and pug
roommate, but his favorite thing to do is to go for
walks! He loves long walks and to people watch as we are
outside. He is a sweet snuggler and hops up and down
when it is treat time. He is naturally curious and a
good listener and never has accidents in the house. He
is a sweet boy just looking to be loved. He came into
KPR when his owner developed an allergy to him.

Ottie # 789 is a
very healthy, fabulous 8 year old pug. His foster family
said that this is one fantastic pug because he is so
laid back and friendly. He’s fit right in with the other
dogs in the foster home and with the children. He loves
to be cuddled and loves his toys. Because the foster
family works from home there are clients in and out of
the house each day, but this sweet pug never meets a
stranger and greets them all with a smile and wagging
curly tail. Ottie is being free fed with the other pugs
and then goes to the dog park to run and keep off the
extra weight. After some fun at the dog park Ottie can
be found sitting on the couch watching TV. If you are
looking for a sweet, cuddly companion then you just
found him.

I’m Gizmo # 788 and
I am around 4 or 5 years old. I’m a very sweet and
laid-back kind of guy. I prefer being an only
four-legged child. I get very territorial with my home
and my owners. I’m potty trained and mind very well. Of
course, when other things can be played with (other dogs
not living in my house and cats), I get very excited and
whine when I can‘t play. I don’t get into fights or
initiate them, I’m timid in that way, but I will bark at
things that I’m unsure of or feel will put my mommy or
daddy in danger. Most of the time I bark when I’m ready
to go outside or will sit by the door, but I will go
potty inside if you won’t let me go out. I‘ve only had
one accident in the past month and a half though. My
foster mommy had to leave for more the six hours and I
didn‘t like that very much. She didn‘t get mad though,
she knew it was something I couldn‘t help. But I
wouldn‘t dare mark in my house. I love to mark
everything I can outside though and I need to walk
around a little bit before I can have a bowel movement,
but not too far. You’ll notice my little “pooh, pooh”
dance. I don‘t “talk“ much. I rarely bark when my
owner’s around, but of course I whine for a little while
when you leave me home alone. I love to cuddle and get
loving. Sometimes I have “little pitty pet me paws” when
I need more loving. I love meaty treats and knuckle
bones. I definitely am a sleep-in-bed with you kind of
guy. I can envision myself being a companion to an older
person or couple, although I do very well with ALL
children. I love being rubbed by anyone, no matter what
their size. I no longer need a leash when I walk with my
foster mommy, but she tries to keep me unaware of other
four-legged friends. I LOVE to play with friends and new
friends. In my house, I don‘t really play much. Like I
said, I’m a very laid-back kind of guy. EVERYONE I’ve
met absolutely loves me! My foster mommy has to explain
to me that just because I see someone, doesn’t mean I
need to be loved on by them. |

Maxwell's Pals for Pugs
Golda Vargo
|
|
Maxwell (# 737) is
smart, active, and curious. His energy level is that of
a puppy, but he is 9 years old (birthday is 11-21-00).
This is one happy boy! He runs and plays with the other
pug in the home and is the life of the party. He likes
to play outside and just enjoys himself whatever he is
doing. Recently he has taken to golf. His barking at
golfers in the yard (his foster family lives on the 1st
hole of a golf course!) and barking at the Golf Channel
finally caught the attention of his foster dad. Since he
has expressed an interest in golf he has been taken out
on the golf course for a few holes. This playful pug
also loves taking walks, playing tug of war, and chasing
a ball. When it is time to come inside then he will tuck
his tail and pout. He is the sweetest, funniest little
guy.
This pug has been spoiled all his life and has had
everything, yet he is very low maintenance and well
behaved. He doesn’t like a plastic enclosed crate, but
seems to really like a wire crate. In fact, he will even
open the crate door on his own to go in and sleep or
curl up inside it when his foster is ready to leave for
work. He is no trouble at all. Maxwell is very loving
and will get up in your lap and give kisses. He also
loves to sleep cuddled up next to you or he’s content to
just spend the night in the crate. He is very easy
going. He minds well and gets along with others,
including kids, dogs, and cats.
Maxwell is a handsome, physically fit pug that just
makes you feel happy & loved. He gives lots of kisses
and greets everyone he meets with his wagging double
curled tail. You’ll find that this good natured pug will
fit right into your home like he has been there all
along.

Sisco (#949)
Sisco (#949) is a 7 year old
neutered male who loves to cuddle in your lap and watch
TV, going for car rides and getting belly rubs. He is
housebroken and loves his crate even sleeping in it if a
spot on the couch isn't available.
|
|
|
 |
Daisy (# 734) is a happy 6 year old fawn pug that
has been described as a “spunky little ball of energy.”
She is potty trained and low maintenance. All she wants
is to be petted and loved.

Say hello to Nate
(#1048), a five year old male pug. Nate wound
up in KPR foster care after his people dropped him off
at the local animal shelter. Little is known about his
life prior to KPR, but what we do know is that Nate is
one sweet and lovable dog. Nate has really opened up
since arriving at his foster home. He is completely
housebroken, has a sweet disposition, is extremely
gentle, almost unflappable, and very lovable and
huggable. And if that wasn’t enough, Nate loves to sit
in your lap or play with a tennis ball. Nate would fit
in well in almost any home – he doesn’t have any
problems with other dogs, has ignored the cats and is
good with children of all ages.
Nate really loves
his people and is never far from his favorite person. He
does suffer dry eye and needs daily treatments of an
over the counter eye drop. Nate takes his treatments
well and is really a great little dog. If you would like
to make Nate part of your family, please fill out an
application today!

Owen
(# 935) is one sweet boy! He is believed to be 4 or 5
years old. He was on death row at a rural shelter with
one day left to live when he was rescued. He had a bad
case of demodex and was very thin. He just adores
people and other dogs. He loves to ride and go for
walks. He has the cutest little pink mouth. He likes
stuffed animals and treats. He doesn't like a crate but
will snuggle next to you and not move until morning. He
is very loving and gentle.

Ping (#1041)
is an 8 year old black male pug that was surrendered to
the local animal control because his family was moving.
Ping’s foster mom says he is an absolutely perfect pug –
he is well behaved and quiet. He is also housebroken,
loving and affectionate. Ping loves to cuddle every
chance he gets. Don’t miss the chance to make this
perfect pug part of your family!

Meet Lola ( #1064) and Bear
(#1065), a pair of bonded pugs that are truly best pals.
Lola is 5 years old and is good with other dogs, cats
and children. She loves to curl up in your lap, and is
sweet and affectionate. Lola walks well on the leash.
She can be a little protective of her food with other
dogs, but does not guard from people. Lola's tongue is
extra long and always hangs out of her mouth. She
doesn't seem to be bothered by this, and it just makes
her extra cute and special!
Bear is about 4 years old. He is also good with other
dogs, cats and children. Bear is an active boy that
loves to play inside or out. He also walks well on the
leash. Bear is a big boy--tall and thin with a beautiful
Pug face full of wrinkles. He is a sweet and
affectionate boy that follows his foster mom everywhere.
Bear and Lola sleep together in their crate at night and
are always together during the day. The love to play tug
of war with each other. Please consider adopting this
pair of pugs. Pugs are like potato chips – you can’t
have just one!
|
 |
Meet Jaida (#1014), a sweet,
spunky, little gal only weighing about 17 pounds. Jaida
is a Schnauzer/Pug mix that is just as cute as can be.
Her age is estimated at about 3 or 4. Since coming to
KPR, Jaida has really blossomed from being skinny and
frightened to a happy, loving, playful, joyful
sweetheart. Jaida’s foster mom says that she is
house-trained for the most part if you keep her on a
regular schedule. While Jaida is still somewhat ‘shy’ in
public, she is a loving, sweet companion at home. Jaida
gets along with every dog that she’s come in contact
with, loves to play with kids and does not chase cats.
We know that if someone will look
beyond the fact that she only has three legs [that one
leg missing does not slow her down one bit, she thinks
she is just like every other dog that has all four legs]
and looks more like a Schnauzer
than a Pug, they will love her as much as her foster
home does. |
 |
Holly (# 763) is a
beautiful, sweet, loving little pug that is
approximately 4-5 years old. She is known in her foster
home as the “Ninja Pug” because she blends into the
furniture! A bit of a loner, Holly does fine with other
dogs, but would do just as well in a home as an “only
child". Holly is a little bit of a "low rider" since she
is shorter then the average pug. She is housebroken and
is very cooperative about going outside even in bad
weather to do her business. Diagnosed with Congestive
Heart Failure, Holly is on two medications that she will
require the rest of her life to manage the condition.
Additionally, Holly has one back leg slightly longer
then the other. While this does not cause her any pain,
it does make her seem unsteady on her feet at times.
Holly is an unassuming little girl and wants nothing
more than to be loved. She loves to lay right by you and
is quite affectionate and willing to give you all the
kisses you handle! If you can find it in your heart to
welcome Holly into your family, the love she gives you
in return will be more then you could have ever
imagined.

 |
Angel (#962) is a 5 year old black
female described as the ideal pug.
She crates well and gets along great
with bigger dogs. She prefers to be
right next to the closest available
lap and follows her foster dad
around the house wherever he goes. I
think she would do great with kids;
she's sturdy and healthy and likes
to play. She has shown no aggressive
tendencies whatsoever. Angel sleeps
the whole night through. She's also
fairly well house trained but you
have to pay attention to her signals
that she wants outside. She doesn't
seem to be a picky eater. An ideal
pug who would make a great addition
to any household.
|
 |
Sergio (#950) is an adorable 16
month old neutered male who needs a
loving home. He is kennel trained
and is working on house training. He
is working on a few behaviors which
are the result of being neglected as
a young pup. He is responding well
to lots of love and affection and
will make a loving companion for an
understanding family. He is very
cuddly and loves to curl up on your
lap for naps. You will fall in love
with his toothy grin. He would be
best in a home with no other male
dogs and small children since he
still has a lot of puppy energy. Are
you the gentle loving home this boy
needs?
|
 |
Cleo (# 891) is a
petite 4 year old bundle of love with one giant
personality! She loves to takes naps in her foster mom’s
lap and can snore with the big dogs. Cleo has some
vision problems, but that doesn’t slow her down much.
When she’s outside, she will follow either the humans or
her canine foster friends very closely. While Cleo
doesn’t play with toys, she does love to snack of chunks
of peeled apple and yogurt and will dance at your feet
when she gets excited. Cleo’s foster mom sums her
personality up as follows: “Cleo is so full of love, I
believe she thinks she will bust at the seams if she
doesn't give some away!” All in all, we think that Cleo
will make a great addition to any family.
|
 |
As hard as it is to imagine,
Tinkerbelle (#1077) was turned in to animal control by
her former owner. Tinkerbelle is still a puppy, at less
than a year old. She is quite a little diva already that
loves to play all day long. Tinkerbelle also likes to
take a quick nap on your lap. Her foster mom says she
insists on being with you and is a delightful and cuddly
little girl. This little girl will make someone a
wonderful friend!

Penny # 933 and Popper # 934 were born on
July 9, 2003, and just celebrated their seventh
birthdays! Their owner went through some bad times, and
could no longer take care of them. They are the best of
buddies, always sleep together and play together. They
are true “Velcro” dogs, just wanting to be close to
their people. They are very playful and mind well, are
housebroken, neutered/spayed, and don’t mind being in
their crate (together, of course!) but they prefer to be
with their people. They ride well in the car and love to
“go”. They get along well with other dogs, cats and love
meeting new people. Their favorite treats are
“Pupperonis” and they’ll practically dance for one. They
are a truly bonded pair and must be adopted together.
|
 |
Diego
(#1080) just celebrated his 3rd
birthday on February 25th.
His foster home describes him as a
“Velcro pug” that loves to cling
onto anyone who wants to hold him
and cuddle. Diego loves all people
and loves to sit in your lap or very
close to you. Diego has been brought
up to date on all shots and is
neutered. All Diego really needs is
to have that special, loving
permanent home.

Gracie
(#1079) will turn 4 years old on March 12th. She
is a very sweet, loving, cuddly “teddy bear” pug. Gracie is
completely housebroken and gets along great with children,
other dogs and ferrets. After spending the day playing with
her foster brothers and sisters, this little lady likes to
end the day snoozing in bed with her foster parents. Don’t
delay in filling out an application on Gracie, she won’t be
in foster care long! |

Meet Lazarus
(#1052)
found
on a driveway, it was assumed he was dead...showing no signs
of Life..Animal Control was contacted. Upon arrival, Lazarus
let them know he was not gone! He was taken to a Vet
right away. Flea infected...dirt encrusted they could not
even tell what color he was. A couple of baths some
Capstar, Frontline, Food, IV hydration and TLC got him thru
the night. Weighing only 13 pounds and Heartworm
Positive, Lazarus has a long road of recovery ahead of him.
Update on
Lazarus! As of October 26th, Lazarus weighs 19.4
Pounds! He is still fighting a stubborn UTI and is still
anemic. Additionally, he has been treated for 3 parasites
now! He is currently taking antibiotics for the UTI
and will continue to receive cooked beef liver along with
his regular food. Lazarus is doing well in his foster
home where is Foster Mom has even taught him to sit on
command for a treat! Considering he was literally starved
when he came into the Rescue and would devour any and all
food put in front of him with NO ability to wait patiently..
this speaks highly of how far he has come and how much he
trusts his Foster Mom and Dad! Once medically cleared from
the UTI and anemia, Lazarus will undergo heartworm
treatment. Please check back for updates on Lazarus!
KPR thanks you for your continued support of Lazarus and his
medical care.
Please consider donating to KPR for his
care!
Update 1/6/11: Lazarus
has finally met his target weight - 22.4 pounds! His
tail is nice and fluffy, and he finally shows some
personality. When he gets really happy, he'll wag his
tail so hard his whole body moves, and he practically falls
over. When he gets really excited, he'll spin wildly
in circles. He loves to chew on Flossies, play with
stuffed animals (especially the silky ones with appendages),
and steal his foster brother's sock monkey bed. Laz
has not only learned how to sit nicely for a treat, but
he'll go over to where the treats are kept and sit and look
up at you expectedly.
Lazarus has been neutered, is no
longer anemic (he misses the liver and beans!) and has
started heartworm treatment. So far his heartworm
treatment is going really well, but he doesn't like being
contained or kept quiet/calm. Laz has a long road to
recovery still but has made remarkable progress thus far.

Baxter (#961) is one of the six
senior garage pugs. Baxter and his five pug friends were
living in a 3-sided garage with only two space heaters to
keep them warm all winter. Luckily KPR was contacted and
these six sweeties are all in foster homes getting the love
and attention they have missed out on for many years! Baxter
is a small boy, weighing less than 15 pounds, and is between
12 and 13 years old. He is blind from prolonged untreated
dry eye and requires eye drops twice a day, but that does
not keep him from exploring and being part of the family.
Since Baxter does not have any teeth he eats soft food and
treats. Baxter is a very gentle soul that has been in good
spirits since coming into his foster home. He likes to
explore his new home, mastering the layout of several rooms
and the back yard in no time! Since Baxter and his pals
lived in a cage in a garage with only one potty break a day,
they are having to re-learn where it’s ok to relieve
themselves. Baxter is making great progress in housetraining
and is enjoying life outside of a cage in his new retirement
home.

Otis (# 715) is an 11
year old gentleman that likes to spend his time close to
people snoozing on a pillow. He loves to goes outside
and sniff around. He will even go out in the rain! At
night he sleeps beside his foster parent's bed on a
pillow. He just wants a little bit of attention, snooze
time, and meals. He likes to savor each bite and will
finish his meals slowly throughout the day. When you
give him a bath the puppy in him comes out and he will
try to eat the towel that you use to dry him.
Otis would make anyone a wonderful companion because he
is so sweet and good natured. He is absolutely crazy
about kids and loves to give them kisses. Can you give
this senior pug a place to rest his paws?

Charlie (# 857) is an
8-year-old fawn male who likes to watch tv and snuggle
with his foster parents. Charlie entered foster care
because his family was too busy to care for him and they
wanted him to get the attention he deserves. His foster
home reports that he is good with children, other dogs
and cats. Charlie needs to have his ears checked daily
to avoid infection. His foster home keeps his ears clean
by using ear wash and medicated drops. When Charlie came
into KPR, he was seen by a vet and had some much-needed
dental care taken care of. During his dental cleaning,
Charlie lost a majority of his teeth and may possibly
need intermittent antibiotics. Charlie likes short walks
and has mild arthritis in his front legs. Charlie has a
crate and is 100% potty trained. He follows a feeding
and potty schedule, which has helped in reducing his
weight. Charlie sleeps with his foster parents and
enjoys being with them all of the time. Charlie would
love to find a quiet forever home where he can be the
center of attention.

Meet Zoe (# 666), a fun loving 8-year old fawn
pug. She loves to play with her foster canine brothers
and sister. Zoe also gets along well with children and
is playful -- you’d never guess she’s a middle-aged pug.
She is housebroken and is ready to move into your home.

Hi my name is Molly (#1020) and I’m 8
years old. When the nice people at KPR took me
to the vet, they found out that I have a heart
condition. This means that I need to be on low
blood pressure medicine for the rest of my life.
My foster mom says that I am doing really well
on my new medicine. I hope that you can overlook
this small infirmity because I am such a lovable
and sweet girl. I really like to be on the couch
with my foster mom and dad. I get along with
other dogs and I don’t have any problems with
cats. I sure hope that you’ll consider giving me
a forever home.
|
 |
Meet Honey (#1055), mother
to the Peanuts Gang! Honey is about 5 years old and her
foster mom describes her as the sweetest, softest,
petite pug. Honey came to KPR very pregnant, after
having been discarded by a breeder. Honey gave birth to
her last litter of pups, the Peanuts Gang, and is now
enjoying a life of leisure. She loves to cuddle, is
learning how to play and really likes treats. Honey
continues to make progress with housebreaking and is
crate trained. |
 |
Sable (#1016)
is a six year old male pug. Sadly, Sable’s owner was
placed in a nursing home facility and Sable was left
homeless. The good news is that Sable is with KPR now
and he will be able to find a new, forever home.
Sable had to re-learn some of his manners as his
former owner wasn’t able to physically take care of him
towards the end. Sable’s foster home says that he is
mostly housebroken and that he gets along well with most
other dogs and really likes people. |
 |
Sadie (#1085) is a very special
little girl. Sadie is a 2 year old ‘Bug’, a Boston
Terrier/Pug cross. This little 17 pound girl was dumped off
at a shelter and left to die, but the shelter staff thought
Sadie was so special they turned her over to KPR. Sadie is
completely housebroken and always comes when you call her
name. Her foster family says this brindle girl is one of the
sweetest little dogs to ever come into their pack, quickly
adapting to her new foster family and things like crate
training. Although, she loves those nights she gets to sleep
in the big bed along with one or two members of her foster
family!
Sadie is a playful and loving pup. She loves to run with her
foster brother, playing games of you can't catch me. Sadie
loves nothing more than sitting in your lap and letting you
scratch her behind her ears. She tries to never be too far
from her new people's side. Sadie sits on command,
especially if there is a treat involved. Pleasing her people
is very important to this little girl, so she should be easy
to teach any number of tricks. |
 |
Peanut (#1089) is a brindle colored Bug (Boston
Terrier and Pug mix) who is about 2-3 years of age
and weighs 16 pounds. He is very playful and
fun-loving and gets along great with other dogs,
kids of all ages, and cats. Peanut is crate trained
and housetrained, but he might have the occasional
accident if his foster waits too long to let him
out. He likes to play with toys and the other dogs
till he exhausts himself, then he'll just take a
long nap on the couch. Peanut was picked up as a
stray so we don't know much about his past, but his
foster family says he is just a great all-round
little guy who would make a super pet for anyone. |

Sally's Pals for Pugs

Sally (# 1007) is a
quiet, dainty little 9 year old girl with a precious
personality! She is happy, happy, happy - whether its
riding in the car with you, taking a walk (and she stays
right by you) or snuggling. Sally is also content
snoozing in her bed or yours or following you through
the house. Even though Sally only has one eye due to an
injury years ago, she is not slowed down at all by it.
Sally is a low maintenance type of gal and a great joy
to have around! She gets along beautifully with all
members of the family - both two and four legged - and
has a ton of love for everyone. |
 |
Meet Stella (# 813),
a 12 year old Bug (Pug / Boston Terrier mix).
Unfortunately Stella is a product of the bad economy.
Fortunately, her owner’s vet knew about KPR and now
she’s got a new lease on life. Stella has been in her
foster home for almost a year now and is enjoying being
pampered. Stella loves to spend her days curled up
sleeping, but she also likes to run outside with the
other foster dogs. She gets along with other dogs as
long as they give her the space that she needs (and they
don’t try to take her favorite bone from her). Stella
leaves the foster cats alone and is just a laid back
kind of gal. We’re hoping that her forever home is just
around the corner, but until that time, she will
continue to be spoiled by her foster parents. |
 |
Have
you ever seen a more adorable pair of pugs? Lily
(#1201) and Lucy (#1200) are a bonded pair looking
for that special home to love them forever. Both
girls are very well behaved, house broken, and crate
trained. However, they are much happier when
cuddling in the recliner or bed with their humans.
They play well with dogs of all sizes and don't
bother the foster home’s cats at all. In fact, these
two have no aggression issues of any kind. Their
foster mom describes them as perfect little angels.
Lily is
a 2 year old black beauty weighing in at a petite 13.8
pounds. Her companion Lucy is a fawn female weighing in
at 18 pounds. These two girls are small but are packed
full of love and kisses.

Nono (aka Momo)
#1018 is a 2 year old male pug that loves everyone. He
is a Velcro-dog and likes to be where you are. If you
don’t see Nono, if you turn around you’re sure to find
him! Nono loves to play and is a non-aggressive,
friendly boy. He is deaf, but is responsible to body
language and could be easily trained to follow hand
signals. Nono loves to be held like a baby and cuddled
and is housebroken. He gets along with his foster
brothers and sisters. Nono is a smart, good-natured,
lovable young pug. Don’t miss your chance to add this
sweet boy to your home! |
 |
Pugsley # 787 is good
with human kids and kids with fur. He is not a barker,
but will throw in his 2 cents every now and then. He
doesn’t mind being crated at all, which is good because
he is still working on proper bathroom behavior. Overall
he does well pottying outside and just needs some
reinforcement. He does not enjoy a bath, but does love
to be brushed. He is a great pug that loves attention.
He is believed to be somewhere around the age of 2 years
old. |
 |
Freedom (#970) is a black
male pug housebroken and in good health. He is only 3.5 yrs
old and a big suggler. He gets along with everyone and is
wondering why his former family gave to the the shelter.
Thankfully KPR was contacted and now he has a second chance.
If you are looking for a young energetic friendly dog who
also loves snuggle time, Freedom is the dog for you |
 |
Scrappy ( # 707) is a 6 ½ year old energetic pug
that enjoys being on the go. He loves car rides! He also
takes 2-3 walks a day and still has energy to play with
his foster family. He chews on stuffed animals, enjoys
treats, and loves peanut butter.
This curious, intelligent, and sweet boy has an
expressive face that melts your heart. He is
housebroken. He does very well with children. He is
interested in cats to the point that he will go smell
them and then just go on about his merry way. He doesn't
pay much attention to dogs either. His foster parents
have been teaching him commands. Scrappy is not a lap
dog & doesn’t need to sleep in bed with you. He’s
content to sit at your feet or by your chair, as long as
he’s close. Like most pugs he loves to sleep, but he
doesn’t snore very loud. Scrappy does have ongoing
allergies.
If you are looking for a traveling companion, then
Scrappy has his bags packed and is ready to join you. |
 |
Muffin #974 is a 7 month old
fawn female who is full of energy loving and sweet. She
loves toys especially stuffed ones and gets along with other
dogs. Her foster parents say she has been the best
houseguest since they got her and would make a fantastic
addition to any family. |
 |
Mercy (#971)
This tiny little Senior Pug (13-14 years old) was dumped off
at a shelter by a breeder who no longer found her worthy.
She has been severely neglected! She is very underweight,
has ear mites, a growth on her leg that has
been rubbed raw , several infected teeth that will need to
be removed once she has stabilized and has arthritis to the
point where you hear her bones "crack" when she is picked
up. This lovely older lady is now safe in the arms of a
Loving KPR Foster Home. She is currently at the Vet's having
additional tests done to rule out any other major health
issues. She has a long road to travel to reach a healthy
state but she can do it with your support! If you would like
to contribute to Miss Mercy please click
Update 4/11/11:
Mercy Update! Little Mercy is doing very well in her foster
home. Slowly but surely she is gaining weight, playing with
some toys, and learning how to be loved again! She still has
a quite a road to full recovery but she is making progress!

Ruby [#1096] is a beautiful
5 year old black female pug that needs to find a home
where she is the queen of the castle. Ruby is not only
housebroken, but she is also crate trained, knows a few
tricks, is a good watch dog and is the world’s best lap
dog. While Ruby loves her human companions, she is not
fond of other animals and for that reason; she will be
placed in a forever home where she can be the only pet.
Small children also make Ruby nervous. Ruby is a total
people pleaser that likes to get ‘dressed up and go
out’. All she’s looking for now is a home where she can
be top dog. In return, she will spoil you with love and
affection. |
 |
Jasper (#954) is
a fun loving and very wonderful little guy.
He's about 2 years old and acts like it!
He is always ready to play and very willing
to please. He knows outside, sit, come,
down(off), go lay down, toy and every Pug's
favorite command.. Treat! We are working on
the commands "leave it" and "drop it" at
the moment. He wants to be by your side
every minute of the day. He socializes with
other pugs, male and female, very well. He
tends to be very excited to see anyone,
especially new "friends". He can be very
pushy with wanting attention and we are
working on waiting and calming down before
he is allowed to go visit them. He is well
crate trained and goes there on his own to
chill out or rest when asked to not be on
the couch. He is wonderfully house trained
also. He goes out either in a fenced yard or
on a leash and does his business quickly.
Jasper is very good with both my children
and has never offered to snap or bite them
ever. |
 |
Marilyn
(# 872) is a 4 year old fawn female pug/boston
terrier mix [“bug”] that came to KPR from a kill
shelter that was running out of space. During
Marilyn’s vet exam it was discovered that she had
heartworms. Marilyn has responded very well to her
heartworm treatments with no complications. Her
foster home says she is as sweet as they come and
they think she is so cute when she sticks her tongue
out just a bit. She is crate trained and
housebroken. Marilyn is blind in her right eye, but
can see just fine out of the other eye. Marilyn has
made a lot of new friends attending KPR events. We
just know this sweetie will find her forever home
soon. She will make a great addition to any family. |
 |
Murphy (# 774) is 5
year old who has lost his left eye and requires drops
twice daily to his right eye. He gets along very well
with his foster brother and sisters. He mostly ignores
the cat. He is still occasionally having accidents but I
think that it is mostly related to rain and snow. It
took him about a week to learn to jump on and off the
couch. He loves to sit on the couch with the other
animals, but he prefers a lap to nap on. He is not
sitting on command as of yet. He barks at strangers but
it is a little bark. He is still a little “shy” about
some things. He does walk on a leash. He is small but
sooo cute. |
 |
Sadler (#1054) is around 7
or 8 years old and came to KPR from a local shelter that
picked him up as a stray. When Sadler arrived in his
foster home, he was coughing. Since he stayed at the
shelter briefly, it was thought that he picked up kennel
cough. Sadly, Sadler tested heartworm positive. Thanks
to KPR, Sadler received heartworm treatment and has
recovered completely. Sadler loves to be with people and
curls up on a lap whenever he can. If he’s not in your
lap, he’s following you throughout the house, even
“helping out” in the kitchen! Sadler gets along with
other dogs and does not bother cats. He loves kids and
is housebroken. Sadler’s foster parents will keep him in
an inside pen while they are gone and he gets to share
their bed at night. He’s done wonderfully in his foster
home and now ready to be your new best friend. |
 |
Parker (#972) is an
approximately 7 year old pug that is playful, friendly and
lovable with lots of personality. He is a big snuggler. He
loves to lay next to you while you watch tv or read. He will
bring you his toy for a quick game of fetch. He travels well
and is good with both cats and dogs. He walks well on a
leash. He is housebroken and knows and few commands and
could easily learn more. He would do well a home with or
without other furbabies. He has excellent manners and knows
that he will get a treat in return! |
 |
Jack (#1062) is a
15-pound cuddle bug that is approximately 7 years old.
He is housebroken and enjoys sleeping in bed (under the
covers) with his foster parents and foster canine
friends. Jack likes to sit on the back of the couch to
look out the window and will announce to his foster
siblings when his foster parents are pulling up in the
driveway so everyone can be ready to greet them at the
door. When he’s not hanging out on the couch, Jack likes
to play with plush toys and loves to go for walks. Due
to Jack’s previous history with seizures, he will take
Phenobarbital for the rest of his life. Phenobarbital is
an inexpensive and easy to use drug that will give Jack
the quality of life he deserves. |
 |
Ginger #1203
Ginger is about 5yrs. She came
from a backyard breeder. We think she is a pug-chihuahua
mix. She's petite. Very sweet. Loves to run and play but
also loves to take naps. She likes toys, bones, treats,
and her foster brothers and sister. However, she has no
problem putting her foster brother in his place when he
gets a little too bossy. She is very velcro. Loves to
be with you no matter what you are doing. She is
housebroken and crate trained. Fully vetted.
|
 |
Lola (#781)is a one-year old Bugg (boston
terrier / pug mix). She is very spoiled and
loves being on the couch beside her foster
mom while watching TV or reading. She loves
to be close to her people and will often
sleep in her foster mom's lap. If there's
something interesting on TV, Lola will very
intently watch the show!
She is good with other dogs, and with
people, and she is working on not jumping
waist-high in happiness when people come in.
She loves her Nyla bones, but will share.
She has no food aggression whatsoever, but
she DOES love her treats. She is housebroken
and crate trained.
She usually sleeps with her foster mom, but
occasionally will sleep in the loveseat at
the foot of the bed with her cousin, Lizzie
the Boston Terrier. |
 |

 |
Buster (# 490) is approximately 5-6 years
old. Buster was homeless, found wandering the Indiana
Toll Road. He was picked up by some kind people and
surrendered to KPR. He was very thin and in very bad
shape. Buster's eyes were a mess, and he ended up
having both removed as they were damaged beyond repair
and causing him extreme pain.
After coming to KPR, Buster became severely ill and was
treated for Pneumonia, as well as other health issues.
Buster has been at home now and is doing quite well. He
is playing with his Foster Brothers and Sisters, eating
well, and feeling quite sassy!! Thank you so much
for all your support during Buster's Medical Crisis. |

John John (# 740) is a macho man. He protects you
from shadows and ominous pictures of cats hanging on the
walls. He is good with children, but only tolerates
cats, even in photos. He gets along great with other
dogs and would be a wonderful companion for someone that
wants a friend for their pug.
This healthy 25 lb pug is not a fussy eater. He is 7
years old. He recently received a dental so he could
show off his pearly whites to his new family. He is
crate trained and housebroken, but his foster family has
put down potty pads for him to use when he could not go
outside.
Johnny is a lap dog when invited; otherwise he is
perfectly happy sleeping quietly on the floor. Is there
room for him on your couch next to you and your pug? |
 |
Introducing the The Curious
Mr. Max(#973). Max is a 2 year old Puggle that was not
really socialized by his initial owner. However
since his surrender to KPR, he has done very well. He
is kennel trained and house broken. He knows a few
tricks, absolutely loves playing with his toys, and
loves to go for walks or car rides. He loves to play
with his foster brother and sister, but he just ignores
cats. He is full of energy and is a very playful little
puggle. He will let you know when he is hungry or wants
to play. He is a little timid when he first arrives in
a new place and will require a little patience, but he
quickly adapts to his new surroundings. He has a
fantastic personality once he gets used to his new home
and all the new things that are going on. I think Max
would make an excellent addition to any home. |

Napoleon (#1059) is a 6-month
old
pug puppy that was born
blind. Napoleon had kind of a rough
start to life - his owners took him
and his siblings away from their mom
at just a few days old to go on a
road trip to show off the new pups.
Most of Napoleon's siblings passed
away during the trip, but the
spirited Napoleon was a fighter and
survived the ordeal. Even though he
can't see, Napoleon has still
learned to navigate his way around
his foster home, get up on the
furniture, and even do some stairs.
Napoleon loves to play with his
foster brothers and sister, loves
his treats, and he likes a little
dab of cottage cheese in his kibble.
He is more or less potty trained,
some days more, some days less, but
he is a puppy after all and he will
let you know when he needs to go. If
he gets lost, or doesn't know where
he is, he sits and waits for someone
to find him. Sometimes he gets
frustrated when he doesn't know what
is happening, and he will be vocal
about it. The amazing thing about
dogs like Napoleon, is that dogs use
their sight sense third, after their
nose and ears, so being blind is ok,
because his other two senses work
just fine. Napoleon has never known
anything different and is quite an
amazing little pug.

Buster
(#1038) is a remarkable sweet little 10 year old guy.
Buster is on the smaller side, weighing about 18 pounds
and is housebroken. Thanks to KPR, Buster got some
much-needed medical care. Buster does have some vision
impairment, but you won’t even notice. He is blind in
his left eye, has partial vision in his right eye and
has a loss of hearing, all of which are a function of
the natural aging process. Buster will require daily eye
drops for his dry eye, but that’s a piece of cake! His
foster family says that Buster is a lap dog and he loves
sleeping in the bed with them at night. He gets along
well with the other pugs in the house. Like most pugs he
loves his food and treats! Please consider this
wonderful little senior guy and give him the loving
forever home that he deserves.

Pictured here
is Stewie (#1206). He is a super, loving, and compassionate
pug. Stewie is approximately 6 years old and would love to
finally find his forever home. He gets along wonderful with
kids, other dogs, and ferrets. Stewie is housetrained. He is
a very quiet pug, but as soon as you sit down he is all over
you just wanting love and attention. Stewie sleeps in his
foster parents’ bed as well as on his Green couch bed
(pictured above). If you can find it in your heart to give
this loving pug a forever home, he will return the love and
much more to you.

Honey (#1013) is a 4 year old Bug (Boston
Terrier/Pug mix). Honey’s foster mom says that
she is very loveable and likes to lounge on the
couch and follow her around the house. She likes
other dogs but is sometimes touchy with other
dogs getting in her personal space. Honey
doesn’t mind cats and loves to play with toys.
She is housebroken and is ready for her new
home.

Bo (#975) is a 2yr old black pug, with a tongue that
goes on for miles! Full of energy as any two year old
should be he loves to be around people and wants to be
the center of attention especially if he can be in your
lap. Bo loves to play with toys, and he likes to get
baths. This smart little man is housebroken and knows
basic commands already like sit and come here. The only
thing that could make Bo even happier is to have a
forever home. Are you that family he wants to be a part
of? |

Zoe and Beamer (#1072 and
#1073) are a bonded pair of 7 ½ year old pugs that were
given up due to family allergies. Zoe and Beamer could
adapt easily into any family situation. They are both
very submissive pugs - all you need to do is reach to
pet them and they roll on their back for a belly rub.
They love children and get along very well with their
hyper foster pug brother.
They have unique preferences when it comes to sleeping.
Beamer likes to sleep at the foot of the human bed and
Zoe jumps off and sleeps under the bed. They are crate
trained, potty trained and very treat motivated. But
what pug isn’t? Zoe and Beamer prefer to be crated
together, or they will cry.
They spent their entire life together and need to be
adopted as a pair. These two have so much love to give,
please take an opportunity to meet them. We know that it
will be love at first sight. |

Oscar #958 is one of the garage
pugs that was rescued in January. He is about 10 years old.
He is a sweet cuddlebug and loves to be by his people all
the time! He gets along with other dogs and is a very low
key dog. He is crate trained but not housebroken due to
being kenneled almost his whole life. He will wear a belly
band for you though. He is deaf and mostly blind but that
doesnt seem to stop him at all. |

Hi! I'm Milo (#966). I'm
6 years old. I LOVE to cuddle. I need a little bit
every day, but don't worry, I'll let you know by
saddling up next to you. I enjoy being outside. I'm
very observant and just like to sit outside in the
shade and be curious. I do pretty well on a leash,
except for when I see another
four
legged friend because I want to play with
them. I spend my day just laying around. I go to
work with my foster mommy and just sit behind her in
her work chair all day. I love watching tv, too! I
sit by the door when I need to go potty, but I also
can use a puppy pad if I need to. My foster mommy
has some laying around the house just in case. I'd
prefer to be an only child, only because I LOVE all
the attention I can get. You'll have to meet me and
see how I play, when I do play. My foster mommy says
it's hilarious! |

Ralphie (#
938) is also known as "baby". His foster family calls
him "baby" because he is still very much a puppy. He
will turn 2 in November. He doesn't bother anything in
the house...not even the cats. He loves to run and play
with his foster brothers and go for walks. He also
enjoys toys. He doesn't mind his crate, but he is so
good that he is sleeping in the bed next to the humans.
His foster family says that he doesn't move all through
the night until the alarm goes off in the morning.
Unlike most pugs, he chews very slow and savors every
little bite. He had a few accidents in the house at
first, but now goes out on a regular basis with his
foster brothers and sister. Sometimes he even goes to
the door by himself! He is on phenobarbitol for
seizures and hasn't had one seizure since his medication
was modified. This medicine is very cheap.
Ralphie is just one fun, lovable, cute pup! Anyone
would be lucky to have him as part of their family. |

Introducing Ning (#1219), a
6 year old fawn female pug. Prior to coming to KPR, Ning
was used as a breeder. Since being in foster care for a
month, Ning has been living a life of leisure. Her
foster home says that Ning is a very happy, energetic,
calm and cheerful pug. She loves adults, animals and
children equally. Ning walks great on a leash and has
not had any housebreaking issues. Her foster mom says
that Ning can brighten up your gloomy day just by
looking into her soulful eyes! This sweet girl’s only
mission in life is to love and be loved. |

Hi, my name is Pugsy (#1221) and I am a 7 year
old fawn male pug. I am housebroken, crate
trained and pretty active. I love getting lots
of attention and will lay on the floor by my
people when they aren’t on the move. When you go
to work, I lay by the back door waiting for you
to come home so we can have some fun. My foster
mom says that I am very loveable and I really
like to be brushed. Please consider giving me a
forever home. |

Butch
(#466) came to KPR as an owner surrender from the local
humane society and is estimated to be 9-10 years
old. This spunky boy is housebroken and crate trained.
Butch is a very snuggly boy that loves in sleep in, take
afternoon naps, give lots of kisses and he is also very
handsome. While Butch loves his adult owners, he has
shown aggressive tendencies towards small children,
strangers, cats and other small animals. Due to this, we
are looking to place Butch into a home where he can be
the only pet and with older children that know
boundaries. Butch walks well on a leash, but really
needs someone to help him with proper socialization
before he can attend public events. While this may sound
like a lot of effort, you will be rewarded with a best
friend that loves you unconditionally.

Meet Trooper (# 900),
a neutered male estimated to be between 6-9 years old.
We don’t have a lot of information on Trooper’s past;
except that when he came into the rescue he was
heartworm positive, had a hernia and had a poor coat. He
came through his heartworm treatments and hernia repair
like a “trooper” and his fur has completely grown back.
Trooper is learning to walk on a leash and is enjoying
being in foster care. He has a reserved nature and
doesn’t play a lot, but he does like to chew on the
occasional cow hoof. Trooper is curious about the cats
in his foster home, but he doesn’t bark at or chase
them. Trooper does well with his house training if he’s
kept on a routine schedule. This sweet little guy is
hoping that you can provide him the love and stability
that he’s looking for. |

Lucy's Pals for Pugs!
Edward Shertz
Nathan & Tami Hoy

My name is Lucy (#
402) and I am ten years old. I am looking for someone
who can give me lots of love and time to sleep. I love
going for car rides and sticking my tongue out at
people. Due to my age my hips give me problems but my
medication helps with that so I can get around easier.
Just to warn you, I love it when you say the word,
"treat." I would do very well in a home with older kids
and I get along great with other dogs, but prefer ones
that will let me sleep and roam without being pestered.
If you are looking for a dog to love a be a great
companion, I am the dog for you! |

Ruby (#1228) is
one of six pugs that came to KPR from a retiring puppymill.
Although Ruby came from a puppymill and had limited human
contact, she is just as sweet as can be and has a wonderful
disposition. Ruby is 6 years old, loves kids as well as
other dogs [foster home does not have cats]. When Ruby
arrived in her foster home, she was frightened of her new
surroundings. Now that she’s getting accustomed to what it
feels like to be part of a family, she’s calmed down and is
a “big sweet goof, with lots of energy and enthusiasm”. Ruby
is crated, but seems to do better when she is crated with
another dog. Ruby has turned out to be your typical velcro
pug, following her foster mom around the house. When Ruby
isn’t following her foster mom, you can usually find her in
a big pug pile. Ruby has done really well with
housebreaking, but doesn’t yet know how to walk on a leash.
All she really wants is to please her people and get loved
on, and that’s not too much to ask.

Phoenix (# 863)
Phoenix is a neutered male that turned 4 in April of
2009. He has all his records and is registered with the
American Canine Association. Phoenix loves to go on
walks with other dogs and also gets excited
when he sees the leash. He likes to curl up with his
foster brothers and sisters to take naps and loves to
play tug of war with any toy he can find. As soon as he
sees a human, he goes and fetches a stuffed toy to give
to you so you can hold it while he shakes and pulls it
as hard as he can. Phoenix also likes you to throw his
stuffed toys so he can play fetch. He knows how to shake
hands and is very obedient as well. Phoenix is potty
trained as well as crate trained. He is very sweet and
gets along with other dogs. He has not been around young
children, but because of his nature he should be fine.
He doesn't show any aggressive behavior. |
 |
Minnie-Me (#1053) is a perfect 10
for anyone looking for a senior
girl! Ten year old Minnie is
completely housebroken and crate
trained. She gets along with dogs of
all sizes and is totally unimpressed
by the cats. Minnie loves attention
and if she isn't in your lap getting
tummy rubs, she is asleep on the arm
of your chair. Minnie-Me is a real
gem and would make a great addition
to any family. |
 |
Baby Ruth
(#1246) is just as sweet as her
namesake. She is estimated to be about 8
years old, but looks and acts much
younger. Baby Ruth came to KPR after she
was relinquished to a local animal
shelter. Baby Ruth is now enjoying life
outside of the shelter, playing with her
foster canine pals and charming her
foster parents with her sweet
personality. Baby Ruth has beautiful
coloring and the cutest face. She does
have limited vision, but that is
compensated with an acute sense of
hearing. Baby Ruth is housebroken,
responds to verbal commands, and would
be a perfect addition to any home. A
little bit of love can go a long way -
help Baby Ruth find her forever home.

Toby #982 is a sweet 3 year old pug who loves people and
animals. He loves to play outside and go for walks, even
spinning in circles when his harness shows up! He gets along
with other dogs and cats as long as they don't try to get
his food. Cat toys are more fun for him then dog toys so as
long as your cat doesn't mind sharing, he will entertain you
with his playful antics! He has no known health issues and
other then a little bit of marking is housebroken. He is a
complete people dog and always wants to be by his people.
