Story
Harlem is a loving adult Pug who I adopted while she was going through heart-worm treatment a year ago. Once her treatment was completed..Needless to say, she captured my heart and I adopted her. She is very friendly and loves entertaining children. Although she can be very timid at times, as long as she has a quiet space to retreat she will come out of her shell. She playful and loves to cuddle. I am loving for a home that will spoil her with spa treatments & plenty TLC. I suspect she had a traumatic background due to her timid nature so we have been very loving to show her all humans are bad. Once you have gained her trust she will stick by you side.

Or, how about these Pugs in cities near Washington, District of Columbia

If you are looking for a playmate for your current dog, she is your girl! This little petite brindle would also do best in a home with a yard as she is pretty energetic and needs space for her daily zoomies!  Her compact size also makes her an ideal fit for most any household. Adopting Riley means gaining a faithful friend who's ready to share all her unconditional love with one lucky adopter and thier canine companiion. Riley is the perfect choice if you are seeking a loyal, loving, and lively companion. Will you be hers?Your new pet will require a refresher in house-training. K-9 Lifesavers strongly recommends all new adopters enroll their new pet into obedience training. This provides for an easier transition into a new home, ensures the dog remains well socialized, and helps form a bond between the dog and the new family.    Adoption fees cover basic vetting, rabies (if puppy is old enough), distemper/parvo vaccinations, deworming, monthly heartworm prevention while in our care (if old enough), monthly flea/tick prevention while in our care, and transport costs. K-9 Lifesavers will also cover the cost of spay/neuter at our partner vet at 6 months of age or reimburse adopter for up to the amount of our partner vet cost should you choose to spay/neuter at your own vet.       Foster Program:    Foster homes provide for the temporary care of a rescue until the dog is placed into a loving, forever home.  For more information on becoming a foster parent, and our Foster Program, visit http://www.k-9lifesavers.org/foster/ or email our Foster Coordinator at foster@k-9lifesavers.orgSPONSOR ME! Help Save Lives!    Make a tax-deductible donation today and help save a life.
