My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Rift, a truly special boy with a heart as big as his challenges. This little fellow found his way into our care after being relinquished by his previous owner, who, unfortunately, couldn't manage his needs.

Rift is a resilient soul dealing with skin allergies that require some extra TLC. His skin condition is manageable with a combination of a good diet, medicated baths, and occasional medication to handle flare-ups. The yeast on his skin has led to a skin infection, emphasizing the importance of consistent and attentive care. Despite these challenges, Rift's future adopter will find that with dedication, his skin issues can be kept under control.

He's a sensitive boy who deserves a loving home where his health can be the top priority. He is also partially blind. Daily eye drops are essential to keep his eyes moist and healthy, as his dry eyes were not properly treated, resulting in the partial blindness. While he may see shadows, his vision impairments have impacted his confidence, especially around other dogs. As a result, Rift is likely to thrive as the sole dog in his forever home.

But don't let these challenges overshadow the joy that Rift brings. He loves going on walks and finds true happiness in cuddling or napping next to his favorite person. All he desires is to feel safe and loved, and he promises to reciprocate that love tenfold.

If you're ready to open your heart and home to this wonderful pup, please consider applying today. Rift is patiently waiting for a caring adopter who can provide the attention and care he deserves. Your compassion can make a world of difference in Rift's life, offering him the chance for a brighter and happier future. Please inquire today!

More about this rescue

Pug Nation Rescue of Los Angeles is a registered 501c3 non-profit organization dedicated to the rescue, care, and placement of abandoned, neglected, unwanted, displaced, and abused pugs. Our goal is to find every homeless pug a forever home; if we cannot do that, we pledge to provide a comfortable and loving place for sick or unwanted pugs to live out their lives. Our Board of five and numerous volunteers are passionate about Pug Rescue and live by our motto of “One Pug at a Time”. We feel that through our efforts we can change many of these forgotten Pug’s lives. In order to find our Pugs a home as soon as possible, we hold at least three adoption fairs a month and also organize a number of fundraising events, including the annual Pugtacular festival and Legendary Bingo at Hamburger Mary’s in West Hollywood. These events and on-line fundraising have provided the money to help pay for vet treatments, medicine and loving care at our Pug Station. We rely on the generosity of our supporters through donations and participation in our fundraising activities. If you would like to make a donation, find out about the next event, become a volunteer, foster, or adopt your own rescue pug, you are in the right place! You can also follow us on Facebook and twitter, there is always something going on and new pugs needing your help.
