Story
Our sweet Chloe came in not looking so well but once we figured out she was allergic to chicken her life changed. She can not have any chicken products at all. She is a silly goofy girl who would love someone who understands pugs are hyper but full of love. She loves blankets and gets super excited!

Story
ROBERT is a PUG/ POODLE mix. He's a sweetheart baby who deserves to be in a home, not a kennel. There was a backyard breeder situation in which this angel was saved and we made sure he's healthy and ready to find his forever people:? bonus is he barely sheds (if you care about that sort of thing) we don't! :) ##2369948##

Meet Gus! Gus is your next best friend! Gus literally bounces around the room with excitement after being saved from the shelter. He deserves someone that will match this amazing energy and keep him playful long past his puppy years! Gus would love to have some doggy friends to play with but his person would also be enough! Can you be Gus's knight in shining armor?

Meet Gherkin and Dillan: A Perfect Pair of Playful Hearts THEY DO NOT HAVE TO BE ADOPTED TOGETHER Gherkin and Dillan are one-year-old pug mixes who didn’t come from the same home, but you’d never know it. Since meeting, they’ve formed a bond that’s both deep and delightful. They are the best kind of duo: Gherkin is the brains – clever, curious, and always thinking – while Dillan is the lovable goofball, full of charm and comedic timing. Together, they’re pure joy. These two are like toddlers in dog form. They’ll play and play until they can barely keep their eyes open, then snuggle up and snooze like babies. Their days are filled with chase games, silly antics, and the kind of companionship that warms your heart just watching them. Gherkin’s intelligence means he’s quick to figure things out (including how to get into places he maybe shouldn’t), while Dillan is all about fun and bringing a smile to your face. They’re crate trained and doing really well with housebreaking. A secure yard is a must. Both because they’re small and because their inquisitive natures mean they’re always exploring. Each morning, they greet you with uncontainable joy, squealing and wiggling like it’s the best day of their lives just because you walked into the room. They adore their people, and they’ll absolutely adore their forever family. Gherkin and Dillan are ready to fill your home with laughter, love, and the kind of companionship that only comes once in a lifetime. If your home could use a little more heart and a whole lot more fun, these two are waiting to meet you! The darker pup is Dillan. https://dawgsquad.org/adoption-application/

Story
Pull up a seat, because Swivel from the Chair Litter is about to steal your heart! He's a 3-month-old Pug mix who we expect to be medium-sized once fully grown. Swivel is all things puppy — playful, curious, and full of affection. He loves exploring his toy box and then cuddling up for a long nap after a day of puppy adventures. Swivel loves pups of all sizes and will do well in a variety of homes. He has gotten a head start on basic training with the help of his foster and will need adopters who are excited to continue this with him as he grows. If you’re looking forward to the joys and challenges of puppyhood, consider Swivel!

COURTESY POSTING. PLEASE CALL CAROLE PEARSON AT 310-850-0477 FOR INFORMATION; Meet Gherkin and Dillan: A Perfect Pair of Playful Hearts Gherkin and Dillan are one-year-old pug mixes who didn’t come from the same home, but you’d never know it. Since meeting, they’ve formed a bond that’s both deep and delightful. They are the best kind of duo: Gherkin is the brains – clever, curious, and always thinking – while Dillan is the lovable goofball, full of charm and comedic timing. Together, they’re pure joy. These two are like toddlers in dog form. They’ll play and play until they can barely keep their eyes open, then snuggle up and snooze like babies. Their days are filled with chase games, silly antics, and the kind of companionship that warms your heart just watching them. Gherkin’s intelligence means he’s quick to figure things out (including how to get into places he maybe shouldn’t), while Dillan is all about fun and bringing a smile to your face. They’re crate trained and doing really well with housebreaking. A secure yard is a must. Both because they’re small and because their inquisitive natures mean they’re always exploring. While they may be part pug, they definitely have more of that classic Chihuahua zip and energy: bouncy, alert, and always ready to play. Each morning, they greet you with uncontainable joy, squealing and wiggling like it’s the best day of their lives just because you walked into the room. They adore their people, and they’ll absolutely adore their forever family. We would love to see Gherkin and Dillan adopted together – they really are a special team – but we’re open to separating them if they each go to a home with another playful, friendly dog who can help fill the space left by the other. Gherkin and Dillan are ready to fill your home with laughter, love, and the kind of companionship that only comes once in a lifetime. If your home could use a little more heart and a whole lot more fun, these two are waiting to meet you!

Check out Dirk!!! What a cutie for sure. He was rescued from a high kill / high impound shelter in Kern County. He is an absolute HOOT! Dirk has a huge personality. He is an active boy and would do best in an active playful household since he is still very puppy like. Adopt Dirk! All dogs in our program are up to date on all their shots, spayed or neutered, and micro chipped. Our dogs are in foster homes which enables us to learn more about them in a home environment. We do not place dogs on a first come first serve basis, but rather to the home best suited for them. An application, adoption fee and contract are required. Please direct all questions to adopt@crdogrescue.com. All our dogs can be met with an approved application. Thank you for looking at a rescue dog for your next family member.

Story
This handsome fellow is Benjamin. Isn't he cute? Benjamin is a male, 22lb, purebred Pug. He came to us when we rescued him from the Santa Monica Shelter where he was an owner surrender. This sweet fellow was listed as 10 yrs old and probably because he wasn't in the best condition, but out vet believes he is closer to 5 years old. His owner left him with a big abscess on his neck from skin allergies and he was not neutered. Once we got him to our vet who started immediate treatment on his skin, we saw his true personality come out...and it was all love and kisses! Benjamin is a happy, sweet, and playful little guy who absolutely falls in love with his "person." We are looking for a home for him where the owners are not gone long hours during the day and can spend lots of time with this cutie pie like he deserves! Benjamin can be your one and only pup in the home getting all the attention or he could be placed with another sweet/calm dog. We are so happy that we were able to rescue Benjamin as we see so much love in those soulful eyes and we know that his forever home is out there. Benjamin is vaccinated, microchipped, and will be neutered soon We only adopt in the Greater LA areas as an in person meet/greet, home check, and trial period are required. Please contact us at gina@theforgottendog.org or 310-990-2020 Benjamins adoption fee is $550

Coco is such an energetic and adorable best friend. She loves to play and is loving! She gets along with other dogs and cats so , becoming friends is not an issue for her. She isn’t loud or disobedient. She needs a loving home to love her the same way she does to her owners. She’s currently 3 1/2 years old and still very young and small.

Adopting a Pug

Frequently asked questions about acquiring an Pug - the pros and cons of adopting versus going through a breeder, and associated costs.

Adopt a Pet can be a great starting point to find a good Pug. You’ll find lists of Pugs available for adoption from various rescue organizations and shelters across the country. Use the advanced search and filter options on these websites to narrow down your criteria. You can specify the breed (Pug), age, location, and other preferences to find Pugs that match your requirements. Once you find a Pug that catches your eye, reach out to the rescue organizations or shelters through the contact information provided.

It’s not inherently cruel to buy a Pug, but the ethical considerations lie in where and how you buy the dog. Adopting a pug from a rescue organization or shelter is a more compassionate and ethical choice, as it not only provides a home for a dog in need but also discourages unethical breeding practices.

The cost to adopt a Pug is around $300 in order to cover the expenses of caring for the dog before adoption. You can adopt a Pug at a much lower cost than buying one from a breeder. Buying Pugs from breeders can cost anywhere from $500 to $2,000, depending on whether or not they’re from show-dog bloodlines.

You should consider adopting a pug if you’re looking for a relatively small dog that doesn’t require extensive exercise with a low-maintenance coat. Pugs are known for their affectionate and friendly nature, making them great for individuals who live alone or families looking for a loving pet.

The easiest way to adopt a Pug is through a rescue that specializes in Pugs. A great place to start is by starting a breed search on Adopt a Pet. The search will show you all the available Pugs in your area.

Pug fun facts

Fun Facts:

Pugs are actually mini-Mastiffs and were bred by the Chinese 2,000 years ago. They were once the furry companions of Buddhist monks.

A Pug once saved the life of Prince William of Orange! His tiny, wrinkled friend barked to alert him of an assassin -- unusual for a Pug as they are not natural barkers.

Napoleon's wife Josephine owned a Pug named "Fortune." Before her marriage to Napoleon, while she was in Les Carmes prison, she snuck notes to her family out of her cell via her Pug friend!
