Story
Julio received a Gold star at the vet today for being a very good boy and passed his intake health exam with flying colors. He is slghtly overweight at 23.6 lbs and the vet would like to see him loose about 3 pounds. We are not sure of his breed but we think he is a Pekingese/Pug mix, very sweet, and would be a great companion. He gets very excited when he sees the leash and enjoys a leasurly walk around the neighborhood. Excersise, wlking and the proper diet will truly help him shed those extra pounds. Julio says he is ready to meet his forever family and start the next chapter in his life.

Story
Nicki is an 8-year-old loving, energetic pug mix. She wants to hang with her people, chill with chew toys and go for exciting walks with lots of interesting smells. She also loves to lick your face so be prepared for some wet kisses! She loves to fetch and enjoys a nap with her humans under a blanket. Nicki is a good girl at potty training, and goes willingly into her crate. She's busy learning basic commands and has mastered 'sit.' Lots of loving left in this dog!

Please contact Cathleen (cathleen.pronc@gmail.com) for more information about this pet.Http:/www.pugrescuenc.com/images/PRONC_Express.jpgPetunia is around a 2 year fawn female pug. We do not have any previous information on her as she was rescued from a local shelter. We will learn what we can in her foster home. She will need a secure fenced in yard to keep her safe this time. Petunia has been jealous of the laid back pug in her foster home. She would be best suited as the only pet in the home. She also does better with older children.  Petunia is spayed, microchipped, up to date on routine shots, heartworm negative and current on heartworm prevention. She is fostered in Durham, NC and her adoption fee is $450.00. Please put in your adoption application on our website www.pugrescuenc.org to be considered.

Story
Please contact Cathleen (cathleen.pronc@gmail.com) for more information about this pet.Http:/www.pugrescuenc.com/images/PRONC_Express.jpgMaya is a 1 year old brindle pug that was rescued from a puppy mill. She had eye surgery to close down her eyes medial canthoplasty to protect her eyes. She will need prescription eye drops, Tacrolimus and follow ups at an eye specialist, for the rest of her life. To protect what vision she has left. Maya loves to play with dogs her size but is afraid of larger dogs. She is great with the pugs of all ages in her foster home. She needs someone willing to work with her on house training using positive reinforcement. She is trained to washable pads. She is also fearful of men. She needs a secure fenced in yard as she hasn't learned to leash walk. These are all things she can learn with someone willing to work with her. Spayed, up to date on routine shots, microchipped, heartworm negative and current on heartworm prevention. She is fostered in Virginia Beach VA and her adoption fee is $450.00. Please put in your adoption application on our website www.pugrescuenc.org under the available pug tab.  update: The eye specialist has determined that Maya does not have glaucoma. It is severe dry eyes with pigmentary keratitis. This must be treated with prescription drops for life so she does not loose anymore vision. The medications have helped and Maya is seeing more. Current schedule one drop is 3 times a day and the other 4 times a day. This will best be managed at an eye specialist. This is a 15 year plus commitment. Maya needs a home with another small dog that likes to play. This will also help her gain confidence. Maya also needs a fenced yard as she will try to bolt if scared. Someone that is able to do the eye medication and follow ups at an eye specialist is absolutely essential.   So we have gotten in a new rescue pug. As you can see her eyes were neglected. Two vet visits, one at the eye specialist and we are still without answers as to exactly what we are dealing with. This poor girl who never had a name, spent all her days in a puppy mill making babies. Thankfully they decided to sell her. A Good Samaritan stepped up, paid her bail money, and broke her out to get her to us to get the care she needs. Please meet Maya who isn't even a year old yet! What we know she can only see light. No shapes or anything. She has severe pigmentary keratitis. She has this thick black pigmentation covering her eyes. They cannot even see in the back of her eye. The first vet did eye pressures which were 45 and 50. Normal is less than 25. Today they were normal… maybe that is because we started glaucoma meds or maybe the pigmentation gave a false reading. Hopefully we will get the answers next week at her recheck. She will need long term eye medication and possibly surgery, medial canthoplasty at the very least but the specialist is waiting to see her response to the drops. Either way she will be on LIFELONG prescription drops. We got her shots done, thankfully heartworm negative but she did have whip worms in her stool. So she is getting treatment for those. Maya will still need to be spayed and microchipped. Maya is scared but super sweet and is the happiest in your lap. Probably because she cannot see the world around her. This poor girl is not even 1 year old and suffered for that year. Her eyes are like having sandpaper rubbed on them. I know we all just donated for Max’s bill which we are still paying but if you would like to donate towards Maya’s bill. You are welcome to do so through the website or with paypal www.pugrescueofnc@gmail.com  Maya will be on medical hold until we have a handle on her eye needs and she is spayed. Her eyes will be a lifelong commitment with prescription drops. Thank you everyone for helping these very needy pugs. Like a lot puppy mill dogs and blind dogs, Maya would do better with older children as she spooks easily. She is not good around loud noises. She is good around other dogs that are laid back and easy going. She needs lots of time to adjust to a new environment and house training.    Maya is fostered in Virginia Beach, VA Her adoption fee will be $500.00 We are not making an adoption decisions on her at this time until we know her needs and she is ready for adoption.    ALL PUGS MUST BE INDOOR DOGS. They need to be on monthly heartworm and flea and tick prevention. We only adopt to states surrounding NC and VA.   Adopt A Pet. . .  Save A Life!http://www.apugrescue.org Http://www.pugrescuenc.org Email us:  admin@pugrescuenc.org      April 30, 2025, 7:38 am
