My story

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

Dinky is truly one-of-a-kind! This 2-year-old, 18-pound little guy came to us as a stray with a very serious tail-chasing habit...so intense that he ended up injuring himself and needed part of his tail amputated. While that sounds dramatic, it turned out to be a total turning point for him. Now Dinky is calmer, happier, and finally free to be himself: silly, curious, and overflowing with personality!

And what a personality he has! Dinky has the most expressive, wide eyes you’ve ever seen, always looking a little surprised, a little shocked, and completely hilarious. He’s makes you laugh just by being himself, and then melts your heart with his affectionate side.

Dinky is a cautious little guy at first. New faces and situations might earn a dramatic stare, but with patience, treats, and gentle encouragement, he warms up fast. Once he trusts you, he’s a devoted companion who loves to be near his people, go on adventures, and share cuddles when the day winds down.

He has lots of energy, loves to play, and would enjoy having a secure, active home where he can safely explore and show off his spunky personality. He gets along well with other dogs, and his ideal home would be one that can give him consistent attention and guidance while he settles in.

Dinky may have lost his tail, but he hasn’t lost an ounce of charm. He’s quirky, funny, and loving and he’s ready to give his heart to the family who’s ready to appreciate all of him. Could that be you? 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.
