My story

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

Location: GA (transport to an approved home in certain areas)

 



Brooks
Pug mix
8.5 weeks old (born 10/29/25)
Spayed: will be done before being adopted
Stenotic Nares Wedge Resection surgery: will be done at spay



 Entertain themselves (until they suddenly require you)
 Obsessed with dog beds (the softer, the better)
 Pass the Kissing Booth test with ease
 Toy lovers and love 80's music
 Doing well with peepads but they are puppies (winter is rude)
 Shockingly silent—no barking yet, just judgmental stares

MUST HAVE BRACHY BREED EXPERIENCE
If you don’t already get brachy
life, this is not your starter pack.



Applications without experience need not apply.
If you have questions, please email us: loveoflittlesrescue@gmail.com



What type of home is best for pug-mix puppies?
Pug-mix puppies do best in calm, lower-activity homes that understand the needs and have experience of brachycephalic (short-nosed) breeds.



 Dogs:
• Curious but delicate
• No big dogs
• Only ONE other dog allowed
• Overactive homes = hard pass



Kids:
• NO KIDS
• Possibly a teen 12+, discussion required



Cats:
• Not tested
• Prefer a no-cat household



 TRAINING STATUS
• Housetrained: Not yet
• Crate trained: Not yet
• Leash trained: Not yet
(They are babies. Spoiled ones.)



What household is preferred for pug-mix puppies?



These puppies thrive in homes that can offer:

A relaxed daily routine
Short, controlled exercise
Indoor play and enrichment
Close monitoring in warm weather
A home where the puppy can be a primary focus



Households with a quieter pace and fewer competing demands, where time and attention can be dedicated to the puppy’s care and training, are typically the best fit.



Our Puppy Adoption Policy & Senior Adopters



We absolutely adopt to seniors and value them deeply in our rescue community.
In fact, we encourage adopters age 70 and older to consider adult dogs (5+ years) — they often form the most beautiful, well-matched partnerships and truly thrive together.



Why not puppies?



Puppies require many years of intensive care, including:

Daily training and socialization
Significant physical activity
Ongoing veterinary care
Long-term contingency planning for the next 15+ years



Because of these lifetime needs, we place puppies only in homes where long-term stability and planning can be confidently met.



For this reason, we do not place puppies with adopters over the age of 70.

This policy exists solely to protect the lifelong welfare and stability of the dog — never to diminish the value or capability of senior adopters.



Disclaimer:
Adoption decisions are made on a case-by-case basis and reflect the rescue’s mission to act in the best interest of each animal. Policies are not intended to be discriminatory and are applied solely to ensure lifelong placement and welfare of the dog.

We do not allow electric fences/halo collars, runners/tethers or doggy doors

More about this rescue

We are a 100% foster based rescue based in TN but do adopt out of state. We pull from many states with fosters in those states.
Although the name is new, we, the founders and board members have been rescuing for over 10 years(working with other rescues).
Each of our dogs live in a home environment, some with cats, some with kids and mostly with other dogs.
