Also known as In Need of Forever Please visit Angels In Waiting to see those Pugs and Pug Pals currently receiving medical treatment and tender loving care in foster homes before being deemed suitable for adoption. Please note that not all of the dogs under the rescue umbrella of Alabama Pug Rescue and Adoption, Inc. appear on our website. Many homes have already been approved and are waiting for a suitable match that is best for all involved. We do not maintain a waiting list, but take great pride in pairing a rescue to a family. We take many factors into consideration.

The number of dogs that must remain in foster care for an extended period of time is sadly increasing. Many of these dogs are on prescription diets for their specific conditions. If you can help by providing dog food coupons, or a make a donation to assist with their daily care needs please contact pugsrescued@aol.com. We would be more than happy to provide a list of those foods in need upon request.

Miley
Happily Miley’s tumor was benign and she is doing beautifully. Miley’s forever home should be one that accepts her age (at 11+ years) and respects the fact that she needs to be in a settled environment. Sadly, her owner became very ill and was no longer able to care for her. She is a beautiful girl who has aged very gracefully with just a hint of arthritis from time to time. She does have a sensitive stomach and dietary changes are hard on her. The perfect home for Miley is one without small children and with someone who is home frequently to spend time with her. If you are interested in Miley, please complete an application.

Clover
Clover’s story can be read on Angel’s in Waiting. She has now successfully completed her heartworm treatment and is on monthly preventative. She is a wonderful Pug who will remind you of this breed of long ago, a classic valentine. She has done beautifully with her housebreaking, but does still has some minor accidents from time to time. She gets along with all, and has been a delight in her foster home. Clover is approximately three years old. Vet references are mandatory with this placement, as is a fenced yard.

Autumn
This wonderful girl has neurological problems that have left her with limited use of her of her back legs. Oh, she still walks, in fact she runs!! She also uses a doggy door and does remarkably well. Will she worsen with age? Nobody can say, but she is worth the risk. Even if she eventually requires a wheelchair, it is our opinion she will do just fine. She has very obviously lived with the condition for quite some time she has remained stable since entering rescue. She does occasionally have problems with bowel or bladder control, but she does extremely well the largest part of the time. Autumn is just beautiful and extremely smart and gets along well with the other dogs in her foster home. Vet references are mandatory with this placement, as is the commitment to care for her the rest of her life. If you are interested in Autumn, please complete an application.

Gritz
Gritz came to rescue in an extremely neglected state. Her interaction with humans was very limited, and because she was not socialized properly, she became protective of the dirt around her and from what we were told, was extremely aggressive other dogs. We found this to be partially true, however as Gritz’s true “pug” personality has unfolded, she has become extremely affectionate and while the alpha-aggression has greatly diminished, we will place Gritz in a home as an only dog so she will never again have to defend what is around her. Gritz’s rehabilitation has consisted of the addition of anti-anxiety medication and we would like for her to remain on this medication as she transitions into her adoptive home. She is a wonderful companion and will make a wonderful addition as the only dog in the home. There has never been one incidence of aggression toward humans, she adores them. If you are interested in Gritz and will commit to understanding her background and protecting her from situations that may trigger her past, please complete an application.

Ms. Prunie
Prunie Update! 05/11/2008
Prunie (now modeling her new summer-do) remains in rescue and continues her desire to be an only "child." We cannot say enough about the personality of this little queen! She currently has her own room in her foster home though when the mood hits her, she does allow the "Pugs" in her home to spend a little time with her - just no nose rubbing or tail smelling! They must admire from a distance!!! She has a basket full of stuffed animals which she adores, is totally submissive to her humans, and is a rainbow at the end of the day as her little face is often visible in the window when her foster family drives up. She disappears for a moment and then returns with her "choice toy" of the day to await them. She is a little clown of a girl with a mix of "who-knows" but a desire to bring smiles to all of her human companions. If you are looking for an "only child" to be your best friend for life, please consider Prunie.
Meet little Ms. Prunie! At approximately 10 pounds, we feel she is a Pug/Peke mix estimated to be 4-5 years old at the max. Sadly, she was found with "buck shot" in her back legs, and corneal ulcers in her eyes. She is now just fit as can be; and just a doll baby... but she is dog aggressive to the point that she must be placed as an only for her protection. She appears to be totally housebroken, is crate trained, very affectionate and walks very well on a leash. If you are interested in this adorable "single" please complete an application.

Sicily ...Adopted
This beautiful girl is nearing her year anniversary in rescue. She has been to almost all of our fundraisers and events, and everyone is amazed at her ability to adapt, but, nobody wants to take a chance on a blind dog. Sicily is approximately three years old, and requires little care, other than she has the tendency to be afraid to be left alone at night when the house is quiet, and needs to sleep near someone who cares about her. She does require Clomicalm once a day because of this separation anxiety at night. If you have ever heard that blind dogs see with their hearts, this loving girl does just that. If you are interested in learning more about Sicily, or living with a blind dog, please contact pugsrescued@aol.com.
