My story

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

Say hello to Candy Cane! Yes, we know it’s not the holiday season, but the name stuck because this guy really is just that sweet. Candy Cane is about 5 years old and weighs around 23 pounds. He came to us after his owner moved, and the transition didn’t go well for him, he’s a sensitive little guy who takes change hard.

His previous home mentioned he wasn’t great with young kids under 5. We weren’t given much detail on what that meant, but since he’s been with us, he’s been nothing but calm, gentle, and easy to be around. Still, we think he’d do best in a quieter home with older kids who understand dogs like him like mellow, peaceful environments, not chaos.

Candy Cane lived with a cat previously and did great with it, and he gets along really well with other dogs too. He can be a little shy when meeting new people, but he warms up quickly and really enjoys attention once he feels safe. He’s easy to walk, takes his time, and loves exploring his surroundings at his own pace.

What makes Candy Cane special is how steady and loving he is once he opens up. He wants to be close to his people, whether that means curling up at your feet or quietly following you around the house. He’s not needy, just loyal. If you’re looking for a laid-back dog who’s already past the puppy stage and just wants a peaceful life, Candy Cane might be exactly who you’ve been waiting for! Interested in this special dude?

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.
