Pug puppies and dogs in Louisiana

Please read the pet description IN IT'S ENTIRETY before applying.  Thank you for your cooperation. Are we being "pugged" or what?! Recently, we've gotten in so many Pugs...  and now this!  SEVEN Pug mixes!  We were contacted by a rescue friend who was contacted by a vet clinic about seven, 4-week-old Pug mix puppies that needed rescue.  The mother developed a critical calcium deficiency where she was rushed to the vet twice.  The vet ultimately told her the puppies need to be pulled from her and she needs to be spayed (since this was her second litter).  We went to the home to pick up the puppies and spoke with the owner.  She said as soon as the mother dog's milk dries up, she's going in to be spayed.  She didn't want her to go through this again as it truly scared her and she thought she was going to lose her.  Sometimes, that's what it takes for someone to understand the importance of spaying and neutering.  She was very thankful that we stepped up to help the puppies. Ok, now to the puppies.  The momma dog is a Shih Tzu/ Chihuahua mix.  The daddy is a pure-bred Pug.  He definitely has some strong genes because all of these puppies look like their poppa!  They were born March 12, 2026.  Now that they've been pulled from mom, we will vaccinate them in about a week as they are too young right now.  We did go ahead and microchip them all and started the deworming process.   They are eating really well... wet puppy food mixed with milk replacement and a little Nutrical to top it off.  They are fat, fat, fat.  Momma definitely took really good care of them, despite it compromising her health. In a couple of weeks, we'll start taking applications so stay tuned! NOT TAKING APPLICATIONS:  Many dogs, particularly breeder, hoarder or senior dogs, can have multiple medical issues that need addressed.  Additionally, sometimes we take in young puppies requiring multiple vaccinations and/or quarantining.   In this particular case, we are not yet taking applications either due to age or possible illness or some other reason.  We will post when s(he) is ready for adoption.  In the interest of fairness, EARLY application submissions will NOT be considered.  Please note…  we cannot respond to messages/emails, etc., on dogs that are NOT yet available for adoption.  Please wait until the dog is available for adoption.  We will post him or her on Facebook in our Adoptable Dog Album pinned to the top of our page which you can follow at this link:  https://www.facebook.com/share/1B46skRWF5/ OR you can keep checking our website at www.roadtorescuela.org.  We appreciate your cooperation and understanding. “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.”  ~ Gandhi Be responsible ~  Always spay/neuter, keep your dogs on heartworm prevention, vaccinate against disease... and if you bring a pet into your life, commit to that pet for life.  Blessings.

Sammy is a purebred fawn pug who likes to play, and he gets along well with other dogs. He is a beautiful dog, but I cannot keep him because I've run into some hard times. He's scared to go downstairs and gets carried down, but he runs up easily. He is neutered, potties on the patio as well as potties when going for walks. He needs a lot of love when he's awake, but likes to sleep a lot. He's young at 4 years old. He sits for treats. I'm in the New Orleans area.

(For more pics, visit nr2r.petfinder.com or www.RoadtoRescueLA.org)   INSTRUCTIONS TO APPLY: PLEASE read profile thoroughly BEFORE applying: DOG APPLICATION LINK:     http://www.roadtorescuela.org/dog-application Isabeau (female) Intake date:  3/24/2026   Pug DOB Nov 2016 Intake weight:  14.10 pounds Adoption fee:  $170, which includes vetting, microchip Good with other dogs:  yes Cats:  unknown – we do not have cats to be able to test Vetting and other:  altered (spayed), mass removed from lower right area groin area (fatty lipoma - within the fatty lipoma was a tiny atypical proliferation of well differentiated mast cells - clear margins but adopter to keep an eye on area);  up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccinations, heartworm negative, fecal negative, cytopoint injection for itching (it has stopped the scratching); on monthly flea/tick and heartworm prevention, microchipped Health issues:  keep eye on excised mass right rear groin area (see "vetting" above) Temperament:  very sweet, precious! Energy level:  low Groom needs:  medium maintenance (bath and brush from time-to-time - check face folds)   Biography:   Isabeau is an owner-surrender due to a move and life change.  She was so scared when she first came in, but the following day, she was a different dog.   She had some crusty, scabby skin that was very itchy.  We've been bathing her and the vet gave her a cytopoint injection and wow, what a difference.  She's breathing a sigh of relief... that's for sure!  She does fine in a kennel and walks well on a leash.  She gets along with everyone... dogs, cats, other animals and people and is just the sweetest girl!  Her face is JUST PRECIOUS!  The owners had her since she was a puppy.  She was used to sleeping on a dog bed or the couch at night.   At our rescue, she is in the main area with some of the other older dogs.  She travels well and bad weather/fireworks don't seem to bother her according to her former owners.  She will sit for a treat, although we struggled with that in the video a bit. LOL.   If you'd like to bring this wonderful girl into your heart and home, we welcome your application!   Flat-faced (Brachycephalic) dogs and over-heating:  Brachycephalic dogs are prone to overheating and heatstroke , as their facial conformation prohibits effective cooling. Short-faced dogs should stay cool during hot weather, opting for exercise during early mornings and after the sun goes down rather than during the hottest part of the day. In the southern states, you'll need to really wait until fall, spring or winter.  The summer months in the south, really don't cool enough in morning or evening to take a flat-faced dog for a walk.  You can also help by walking them on a harness instead of attaching the leash to the dog’s collar.   **WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW** *We do adopt out of state provided the adopter is willing and able to travel to us once approved.  We do not ship or transport our animals and there is no exception to this rule.   *Most of our adoptable dogs are small, and they are never to be left outside alone, ever!  We only rehome our dogs to adopters that plan to have them as inside dogs and part of the family!   We do allow adopters with doggie doors, provided there is SECURE fencing and the dog is over 15 pounds.  There is no exception to this rule!   *PREDATORS:    IF THIS DOG IS UNDER 10 POUNDS, the dog is to be monitored and protected when outside at all times!  PREDATOR-THREAT IS A REAL DANGER!  For example, a hawk tried to pick up a Chihuahua owned by a friend visiting Ninna’s house… RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE VISITOR.  Thankfully the visitor was watching the dog and the hawk was wrestled off of the Chihuahua but it did require an ER visit and she is was very lucky to survive.   TAKE IT SERIOUSLY!     *NO SMALL CHILDREN!!  As with almost all the dogs at NR2R, young children or a very active household is not recommended.   Many of our dogs come to us BECAUSE of small children, thus we do not rehome our dogs to homes with babies or young children.  KEEP THIS IN MIND IF YOU HAVE VISITING GRANDCHILDREN AS WELL!  Even if the children are older, it would depend on the child AND the parent or parents.    *HOUSETRAINING:  We do NOT guarantee that any of our adoptable dogs are housetrained.   While most should be easily trained, keep in mind that they live in a rescue where they have access to the outdoors all day and are inside at night.  Even if they were surrendered to us as housetrained, it doesn’t mean they will automatically be housetrained in your home.  Housetraining them should be easy in the right home with time, patience, and consistency.    *KENNELING:  We always recommend kenneling when you cannot supervise your dog.  This helps with housetraining and any destructive tendencies until you get to know your knew addition.   *We do not guarantee the age, health or temperament of any of the dogs we rehome.  Many of the dogs we take in come from animal control and rarely do we have histories and even when we do, many times the histories are inaccurate.   *Only adopters with a responsible dog ownership history and excellent vet reference need apply.   If you bring this pet into your heart and home, you will receive in return many years of love, companionship, and loyalty.  That’s our guarantee.   Other notes:  This pet is available for adoption through Ninna’s Road to Rescue, Benton, La.  We are 501c3 non-profit organization.  Our mission is to rescue primarily small-breed dogs and to re-home them into RESPONSIBLE and CARING forever homes.    DOG APPLICATION LINK:   http://www.roadtorescuela.org/dog-application Time may be of the essence if you are looking to adopt a specific animal.  We do not reserve animals, unless and until we have approved your application, provided the animal is still available at the time we receive your application.  The first APPROVED application we receive will be considered.  We are NOT a first come, first serve rescue!! We adopt our rescues out to the RIGHT home, not just A home. Only responsible pet owners need apply. Applying to adopt does NOT commit you to the adoption NOR does it guarantee the adoption.

Energy level:  medium Groom needs:  medium maintenance;  check face folds from time-to-time Biography:  Mrs. Puggles came in with Mr. Puggles from animal control in another parish.  We believe Mr. Puggles is the son of Mrs. Puggles.  Mrs. Puggles went into labor on 3/27/2026 but could not deliver so she had an emergency c-section at Valor Emergency Vet.  She delivered 4 puppies but sadly, two never woke up despite the efforts of the staff.   Mrs. Puggles' milk did not drop and so, Michele took one puppy home and Ninna, the other, to bottle-feed.  They are both doing really well.  Poor Mrs. Puggles has had SO MANY LITTERS in her life.  Her teats were huge and long (like straws)... some were upwards of 2 inches long.  It was time for a mommy makeover, so we sent her to our primary vet for a little nip tuck.  She is snatched now!  She was already a happy, social little gal and we think her new body has boosted her confidence even more!  LOL!  Anyway, you can't go wrong with this gal.  She loves everyone.  If you'd like to bring her into your heart and home, we welcome your application!

Temperament:  very sweet, social and friendly! ...  gets along with EVERYONE! Energy level:  medium Groom needs:  low maintenance. Biography:  PLEASE keep in mind your AGE!   Despite what you may want, we want YOU to outlive the pup… not the other way around!  Puppies or young dogs (especially small-breed) can live 15-20 years! Mr. Puggles came in with Mrs. Puggles from animal control in another parish.  We believe Mr. Puggles is the son of Mrs. Puggles and possibly the daddy to the puppies she is carrying.   Who knows?  We don't... and he's not talking!  Anyway, Mr. Puggles is happy and social and once we released him from quarantine, he wanted to meet everyone... four-legged and two-legged alike!  He went from person-to-person and then dog-to-dog.  If he came across an older dog that didn't like him being nosy...  he didn't take it personally.  He just hopped over to the next dog.  He would love a home with other dogs.  If you don't have other dogs, that's ok;  he can just concentrate on you!  He does fine in a kennel if needed and has somewhat mastered the leash.  If you think Mr. Puggles could be your new BFF (best furry friend), we welcome your application!   **WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW** *We do adopt out of state provided the adopter is willing and able to travel to us once approved.  We do not ship or transport our animals and there is no exception to this rule.   *Most of our adoptable dogs are small, and they are never to be left outside alone, ever!  We only rehome our dogs to adopters that plan to have them as inside dogs and part of the family!   We do allow adopters with doggie doors, provided there is SECURE fencing and the dog is over 15 pounds.  There is no exception to this rule!   *PREDATORS:    IF THIS DOG IS UNDER 10 POUNDS, the dog is to be monitored and protected when outside at all times!  PREDATOR-THREAT IS A REAL DANGER!  For example, a hawk tried to pick up a Chihuahua owned by a friend visiting Ninna’s house… RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE VISITOR.  Thankfully the visitor was watching the dog and the hawk was wrestled off of the Chihuahua but it did require an ER visit and she is was very lucky to survive.   TAKE IT SERIOUSLY!     *NO SMALL CHILDREN!!  As with almost all the dogs at NR2R, young children or a very active household is not recommended.   Many of our dogs come to us BECAUSE of small children, thus we do not rehome our dogs to homes with babies or young children.  KEEP THIS IN MIND IF YOU HAVE VISITING GRANDCHILDREN AS WELL!  Even if the children are older, it would depend on the child AND the parent or parents.    *HOUSETRAINING:  We do NOT guarantee that any of our adoptable dogs are housetrained.   While most should be easily trained, keep in mind that they live in a rescue where they have access to the outdoors all day and are inside at night.  Even if they were surrendered to us as housetrained, it doesn’t mean they will automatically be housetrained in your home.  Housetraining them should be easy in the right home with time, patience, and consistency.    *KENNELING:  We always recommend kenneling when you cannot supervise your dog.  This helps with housetraining and any destructive tendencies until you get to know your knew addition.   *We do not guarantee the age, health or temperament of any of the dogs we rehome.  Many of the dogs we take in come from animal control and rarely do we have histories and even when we do, many times the histories are inaccurate.   *Only adopters with a responsible dog ownership history and excellent vet reference need apply.   If you bring this pet into your heart and home, you will receive in return many years of love, companionship, and loyalty.  That’s our guarantee.   Other notes:  This pet is available for adoption through Ninna’s Road to Rescue, Benton, La.  We are 501c3 non-profit organization.  Our mission is to rescue primarily small-breed dogs and to re-home them into RESPONSIBLE and CARING forever homes.    DOG APPLICATION LINK:   http://www.roadtorescuela.org/dog-application Time may be of the essence if you are looking to adopt a specific animal.  We do not reserve animals, unless and until we have approved your application, provided the animal is still available at the time we receive your application.  The first APPROVED application we receive will be considered.  We are NOT a first come, first serve rescue!!
