Pug Lovers

Look at these cute babies we have in the shelter. They are about 3 months old. They were in isolation for awhile with no hair because they had mange They are all better now and in Pre-Adopt. They will be moved to Adopt this weekend. Sorry I had to take the pics while they were in their kennel, because whenever I take them out, all they wanna do is lick my face and I can't take the pic!

AAAWWWWW! They are adorable!!! Are they purebred or mix. Wish I lived closer!! I love the black one!!

The first pug I ever met was the companion of a friend that was terminally ill. Even during his worst times, his pug was a comfort and very easy to care for. When volunteers came to his house to help, they never had to worry about dog mess or dog attitude. After my friend died, his dog was placed with a handicapped person, and brought that same wonderful spark and love to a new home.

On the silly side, when I would visit my friend, I would see his little black pug and think it was a little black piglet. With the curled tail and the pudgy body, I always expected to see a snout rather than a little button nose. What wonderful medicine in the form of a little round dog!

Oh Aly you have started up my pug pangs again!!! I love pugs!!! In fact today I was in the mall and, even though it is depressing, I always have to stop in at the pet shop there. There was a female pug who was giving me "the look" that she wanted me to take her home. These babies that you have found are just precious!!! I would love to have one or both of them! If I lived closer I might have to have a serious talk with hubby about adopting one of them. I'd also have to consult with Bella but I'm sure she'd give me the "paws up" in order to even out the cat/dog ratio around here! Thank you so much for posting their pictures. Please let us know when they find their forever homes.

Staci, I think they're probably mixed with something but I'm not sure what. The white one has a cute little crooked tail and the black one's tail is straight.

Pam, I'll let you know when they get adopted. I have a feeling they are going to go in record time. Everyone comes in wanting puppies of small breed dogs.

The are just adorable, I'm sure it won't be long before they are adopted.

Are they from the same litter? Are they boys or girls or one of each? I am just dying here, head over heels with these pups!! Can you tell?

[Daisy's Mom]

Oh my gosh! They are sooo precious! I hope they get adopted soon!!!

[aly]

Heheeh Pam, I knew you'd like them. That's really why I brought my camera to the shelter today. Now I wish I had taken better pics

They are both girls. Their names are Baby (white one) and Bubbles (brindle). They are from the same litter we are almost positive. They were left in a box overnight outside the shelter door. We weren't sure what kind of animal it was at first glance since they had no hair! (I sorta thought they were pigs, heheheehehehe). A girl who works in receiving wants me to rename them before they go to the Adoption area. Any ideas of names?

They are both REALLY sweet. I generally don't work with puppies but have been working with them a lot because they weren't handled or socialized since they were in isolation. Baby is the dominant, bold one who I am having one heck of a time training! She think she weighs 100 lbs or something. She's very protective of me and will bark ferociously at anyone who passes, especially dogs. She is slowly but surely catching on to my behavior modifications. Bubbles was like this at first too, but it took about 10 minutes and she caught right on what I wanted from her. I've worked with her for days since then and she is still being an angel. They both LOVE to be held and cuddled, and will just lick you to death! They also looooooove to play with plush toys and Baby is a pro at playing fetch. She even brings the toy back and drops it at my feet.

(Now I'll probably see Pam at the shelter tomorrow )

Aly I am laughing out loud now! I would love to suggest some names but then I would really be getting too emotionally involved!! I just can't imagine anyone giving up these puppies.

[tatsxxx11]

Oh, how precious Aly!! How ever did you stop kissing and hugging THEM long enough to take a picture??!! I love the names Baby and Bubbles!! I can't imagine these cuties will be without a forever home for long!

[Dixieland Dancer]

Pam, I am with you! I just love pugs!!!! My In-laws had a black pug and we watched him when they would go away. Since they are retired it was quite often. At first I didn't look forward to it since I didn't think I liked pugs very much. Then his sweet sweet loving personality won my heart, hook, line and sinker!!!! We bonded and the rest is history! He passed over to the rainbow bridge a little over a year ago and I still miss him terribly.

Thanks for sharing the pictures. I hope they find a great home.

They are sooooo adorable.

My grandmother had a little pug and when my grandmother passed away they wanted to send it to the sheltr but I said no way, she was old and couldn't take the death of her mommy, the stress of a shelter, and re-ajusting to a new home (if she found one) and plus I loved that little dog. I begged my uncle to let me have her and finally he did. She lived for another 7 months and passed away, I think she wanted to be with my grandmother. But I was happy to know that she had a happy 7 months with me and that she is know taking care of my grandma again.

I would choose a name like, Love, Hope, Faith, Destiny ......

Oh, Aly, they are precious, and such smiling little faces for little ones who have been through so much. Of course I am attracted to Baby, the dominant, bold one... (i.e. NAWTEEDAWG) Pam, don't you think the Pet Talkers could arrange a cross country caravan to bring Baby to New Jersey?

[dababy]

They are so adorable! If I was on that side of the country, I sure wouldnt be here typing...I'd be at that shelter filling out adoption papers!!

I hope they get adopted soon, and good luck with training!
