Minnie (# 646) is a complete lover-pug. Her foster mom says that Minnie reminds her of a baby seal with her soulful eyes. Minnie is 8 years old and was used as a breeding dog all her life. Now that she's been retired as a breeder, she craves human affection and has become a velcro pug - wanting to be with you or sitting in your lap or laying beside you. Minnie is housebroken and is trained in using a doggie door. While Minnie has a spot on one of her eyes, which doesn't bother her, she is serious about affection. She likes a lot of it and wants to be with you as much as possible.

Milton (# 642) is a nice looking gentleman pug, weighing in at 22 pounds that comes to KPR from a local shelter. The vet estimates Milton to be about 6 years old. Milton is athletic and playful and is quirky when it comes to eating. He really prefers to eat his dog food alone and enjoys the occasional Beggin Strip. Milton likes to sleep in his foster mom's bed but usually ends up sleeping on the floor before the night is over. His foster home is reinforcing housebreaking during his transition period and indicates Milton does not use the doggie door like the other pugs in the house, but prefers to take care of his business in the front yard. Milton does love stuffed toys and is a chewer, so toys of that nature are a must. He is a non-aggressive type of guy that likes to play with his foster pug sisters and nap on his foster mom's lap. While Milton exhibits some of the pug-stubbornness that is typical for the breed, he is a very sweet boy that just wants to be somebody's shadow.

You wish that Puggy (# 533) could talk and tell you his story. We are uncertain about his age. He is an adult pug, but not yet a senior. You have to wonder what life was like for this little guy before coming to KPR. He was found wandering around a busy highway one afternoon. It appears that he must have broken a front leg in his past since it is crooked and causes him to walk with a limp. It doesn't slow him down any, it just adds to his personality.

He is now living in foster care with other dogs, cats, kittens, and kids. They tell us that he is just wonderful and that anyone would be lucky to have this pug because he gets along with everyone in the family and doesn't pay any attention to the cats or kittens. He is also good with toddlers and even sleeps at the foot of their grandson's bed. They tell us that he is so well-behaved that they do not crate him at all and that he is housebroken already. Enough good things cannot be said about this little guy.  Do you have room in your life for him?

Molly (# 527), 2 yrs. old and Percy (# 528) (aka Pugsley), 3 yrs. old have been together since Molly was 8 weeks old. Both are 17 pound bundles of joy. They love to take walks, ride in the car, and play in the yard. They love people, constantly want a lap or a hug and vie for attention like human siblings. They get along great with their foster family's Pug and lab/shepherd mix.

Molly will cuddle all day and has a "purr" when she's contented; Percy loves to cuddle too but is more independent and will explore on his own, but always comes back for a hug, kiss and a cuddle. They both curl up around their foster parents' necks like babies and are so lovable and loving. They run up and down steps like pros, love to lie on the cool green grass under the trees, are crate trained and sleep in it together at night, and spend all day very close to each other. Molly grooms Percy all the time. Percy grooms her a little too but guys aren't so into clean ears and faces! They lived with a cat and three birds, but we have no info on how they all got along together.

They are both house broken. The vet gave them the A-okay for all ends and in the middle so they are ready for their forever home. Any family will be blessed by these sweethearts!

Harley does have floating knee caps, which don’t bother him in going up or down steps. He has had no accidents in his foster home and is crate trained. Harley gets along well with other dogs, ignores cats and does wonderful with children. He has been with a 20-month old that likes to wrap her arms around Harley and cuddle with him on the floor. He has also done well with the older children next door – he likes to run and play with them in their yard. Harley enjoys short walks on his leash and loves to go on car rides. At his foster home Harley is very laid back and wants to be near you. He really enjoys having his belly scratched and loves his special playtime. Harley would make a great addition to any family – he is truly a wonderful, loving boy.

Introducing Chip (# 635), an adorable, sweet Bug (Boston Terrier / Pug mix). Before coming to KPR, Chip’s name was Quazzy, but his foster family calls him Chip because he looks so much like his brother Pipsqueak (also a KPR dog) – he’s a chip right off the old block!

Chip just turned 2 in July and he weighs in at a perfect 17 pounds. As you can see by his pictures, this little guy is as cute as a button! Chip is a little unsure in new situations, but warms up quickly. His tail never stops wagging and he is an all-around happy dog. Chip is super sweet – he loves to cuddle, loves to be petted and loves to give lots of kisses. He recently started playing with toys and adores other dogs. This little guy doesn’t have an aggressive bone in his body. He will chase cats if given the opportunity but will stop with a firm no. Chip is learning to walk well on a leash.

Chip is housebroken and possesses many great talents, including snatching steak out of the trash and opening crates from the outside. His foster family is crate training him and he is doing well. Chip will make someone a wonderful companion. His foster mom can’t say enough good things about him. Someone is going to be very lucky to have him!

Smokey (# 541) is a pug mix, possibly a Chug (Chihuahua & Pug). She weighs in at a slender 18 lbs, but this little girl loves to eat! She will polish off her food and then help herself to the other dog’s dinner when no one is looking. She has even been caught snacking out of the cat bowl! Her foster parents feed her by herself or keep a watchful eye when it’s meal time. They have been taking excellent care of her. She has been to the vet where she was given a clean bill of health and brought up to date on all her shots. The vet estimated her to be around 2 years old.

Smokey’s foster parents brag on her because she is such a good dog and she gets along well with everyone in the household. This little dog is great with cats, dogs, kids, and even house guests. They report that she is good in different situations from bath time to people visiting to taking walks or riding in the car. She really enjoys walks and will potty outside, but her favorite thing to do is go “bye bye”. She gets excited and absolutely loves to ride in the car. This sweet dog has her foster parents wrapped around her paw and gets to sleep in bed next to her humans.

Little Man Nicholas (# 540), who is estimated by the vet to be 9 years old, was abandoned by his previous owners who tossed him out the window of their moving vehicle. They couldn't even be bothered to stop the car in order to dump him to fend for himself. Luckily for this little pug there was a Good Samaritan nearby who witnessed this appalling action and stopped to help him. Little Man was shaken, sore, and scratched up, but otherwise fine considering this terrible trauma he suffered.

His foster mom has taken him to the vet and so he is up to date on his vaccinations. He had a skin problem but with the meds the vet gave him this is clearing up nicely. The vet has also recommended a monthly dose of Rimydl.

Little Man Nicholas is a very patient pug & is good at bath time. He likes chew bones and any kind of treats. Like most pugs, he has a healthy appetite and enjoys being held and loved on. He potties outside and hasn't had any accidents inside. He sleeps in a crate and his foster mom says he will get in his kennel by himself (with the persuasion of a treat) and while he usually cries a little at first once the lights are turned out he is quiet until morning. He gets along great with all of the other dogs in the house. He is a little skittish around new people, but warms up fast. His foster mom says he is an absolute sweetheart and deserves to have someone love him.

Ruby (# 536). You can't look at Ruby without smiling! She is just incredibly sweet and loving to everyone she meets. Even the other dogs in the home are smitten with her.

Sadly, this 8 year old full figured girl was surrendered when her owner was placed in a nursing home. Her foster family is giving her some much needed attention by getting her treatment for eye infections and once this is cleared up she will only require the simple task of daily eye drops. The vet has also placed her on a diet to lose 8 lbs, but don't let her size fool you, she is still very active. Her foster family reports that this nosey pug will even follow you from room to room just to see what you are doing before going back to relax on the couch.

Ruby has won the hearts of her fosters and they say that she will be a wonderful addition to anyone's family. Ruby is housebroken and is being described as a beautiful pug, inside and out.

Charlie (# 539) is around 4 years old, neutered, and up to date on all his shots. Charlie’s foster mom says that he is the sweetest little pug she has ever met and a perfect gentleman. The only time he makes noise is when she must put him in his crate to go to work. He simply loves to be right by his human’s side at all times. He is very much a “Velcro Dog”. Charlie is housebroken, rides incredibly well in a car, and is truly wonderful with children.

Although Charlie is great with kids, he would probably do best in a home with older children who understand that he is completely blind because he can be easily frightened if approached too quickly. It is also preferable that he find a forever home without stairs because while he can learn to navigate and get around, he may stumble or fall down stairs. There are many informative websites with hints for helping blind dogs, so please check them out. Dogs are much better equipped than humans to deal with blindness since they rely so heavily on other senses, such as sounds and smells.

Charlie needs a home where he can be loved and spoiled like he deserves! Everyone who meets him instantly falls in love with his sweet and gentle spirit so he is definitely going to make someone a terrific companion and TV buddy. Please do not let his blindness stop you from seeing that Charlie is a wonderful and handsome pug.

Meet Heidi (# 627), a wonderfully sweet 7 year old girl that has great potential to be someone's best friend. Before coming to KPR, Heidi was used as a breeding dog all her life and lived in the basement with little human contact. When she came to KPR she didn't even have a name. But, instead of being shy or afraid of people, Heidi desperately craves human affection - she loves to be held, hugged and petted. Heidi is a gentle girl that gets along well with other dogs. In fact, she doesn't have an aggressive bone in her body! Heidi's foster mom continues to work on house training and says that she is somewhat paper trained. Since Heidi lived in a basement for years, she was never properly housebroken and really doesn't understand the outside world. Heidi's story is already on its way to a happy ending, all she needs to complete it is you.

Meet Bubbles (# 616), a 3 year old female "Bug" (Boston Terrier/Pug mix). Bubbles came to KPR mainly because her owners could no longer afford her. She is a little skinny right now, but her foster home is working to get Bubbles to her correct weight. Bubbles is a very loving girl and gets along with most dogs once introduced properly. She gets along great with kids and likes to chase cats given the opportunity, but will stop once the cats hide. Bubbles is housebroken and crate trained. A baby gate won't stop this little girl - she can scale right over the top! Bubbles loves to run and play but does like to steal toys from other dogs. She would make a great dog with no other dogs or older dogs in the home.

MEDICAL HOLD!

Hi! You can call me what you want Pooky, Pickles, Shaky, or Gunner (# 535). The vet estimates that I am 1 - 2 years old. I've had many names because I have had a tough life out on the streets. I was found eating out of trash cans in the hot summer sun. Some nice folks called my owners who tried to give me away before they reluctantly retrieved me...only to drop me back on the streets later without my collar. They just didn't want me anymore and I don't know why? My foster mom says I am very sweet and lovable. After a month of being outside, eating what I could find, and losing weight, a nice school teacher took pity on me when she saw I could barely breathe. She let me stay with her, her husband, and 3 children until she could call KPR. I loved those kids. I would give the 2 year old lots of hugs and kisses and play with the boys. I get along with everyone, even cats and other dogs. When my foster mom saw me she said I would find a forever home right away because I was young, energetic, smart and I always potty outside...but my luck wouldn't change that soon. I am heartworm positive. That's why I have this deep, nasty cough that really hurts. I am scared because I have months of vet visits and costly treatments ahead of me, but I am lucky because KPR is going to help me.

Update 8/5: After many scary late night trips to the emergency vet coughing and whimpering, this little fighter is finally pushing his way through this painful illness. He has had a rough time and is fortunate that KPR does whatever it takes for their pugs, regardless of the vet bills required..and this little guy has really racked up some expenses. He was in a severe state since he was in the later stages of heartworm disease and the heartworms were in his heart, as well as the arteries leading to the lungs, which caused shortness of breath, gasping, coughing, gagging, infection, and severe pain.

He has just completed his first heartworm treatment and although still coughing and sneezing, he is feeling good enough that he can pout. He is frustrated that he must stay calm and quiet for the next 2 months. No running or jumping or playing. This is a long time for a pug who was once lethargic and now regaining the energy of a puppy.

Hello my name is Otis (# 521).  I am 10.5 years old and have had a pretty rough life.  I've lived outside my whole life and was used as a puppy mill breeder.  I am heartworm positive, but I am currently being treated.  Right now I have fluid on my heart and lungs, so I am also being treated for this.  I love to have my tummy rubbed, and I am great with other dogs and cats.  I am also gentle around babies.  My foster Mommy says I'm the most humble dog.  If I could talk, I would definitely say thank you for all the love you give.  I have to eat soft food because I don't have many teeth.  I could really use some donations right now because my vet bills have been expensive and they keep adding up.  Please find it in your heart to assist me with my much needed vet care.  Hugs, Otis

Katie came to KPR through no fault of her own and just needs another chance to love and be loved.

Buster (# 490)  is approximately 5-6 years old. Buster was homeless, found wandering the Indiana Toll Road. He was picked up by some kind people and surrendered to KPR. He was very thin and in very bad shape.  Buster's eyes were a mess, and he ended up having both removed as they were damaged beyond repair and causing him extreme pain.

After coming to KPR, Buster became severely ill and was treated for Pneumonia, as well as other health issues.  Buster has been at home now and is doing quite well. He is playing with his Foster Brothers and Sisters, eating well, and feeling quite sassy!!  Thank you so much for all your support during Buster's Medical Crisis.

Trevor (# 492) is a spunky 1 year old boy weighing in at 11 pounds. His foster home says he is everything a pug should be - he's cute, sweet, snuggly and loves everyone he meets. Since he's still a pup, he's got a lot of puppy energy for play and then crashes asleep at the end of the day. Trevor is crate trained and will sleep there at night but he really prefers to snuggle up under the blankets with his foster parents. He is working hard on his potty skills and is ready for his new family to take him home.

Hello we are Noodles (# 603) and Daisy (# 604)!  We are a bonded pair of male and female fawn pugs.  Daisy is 8 and the vet says that Noodles is at least 8, if not a bit older.  Daisy is very dominant and would be best going to a home that has no females, or submissive ones.  The dominance typically comes out when Daisy wants to be in the recliner with her foster Mommy when there are other pugs already there.  Daisy is very small, and was used as a puppy mill breeder.  Noodles is a love pug and was also used as a breeder.  He loves to give kisses and loves to lie on your chest.  Noodles has a spinal deformity and some vertebrae/disc issues but that doesn't stop him from playing with his favorite stuffed toys!  Noodles has about 5 teeth in his entire mouth so he has to be fed soft dog food.  Because they lived outside for so many years, their foster Mommy is working with them on housebreaking issues.  They are doing well, but still will sometimes mark things, such as dog pillows on the floor.  Please consider giving these sweet pugs a forever home..

Henry ( # 369 ) is a very laid back Gentleman whose age is between 5 and 6 years old. Henry was born with an underdeveloped right eye, which has no vision capabilities, but he gets around fine without it. Henry prefers to spend his days lounging around in his foster Dads recliner looking out the window or watching Television.

As the evening moves in, Henry will casually move over to the big bed where he settles in for the night. Every once in a while, he will feel like a game of tug of war with his furry foster siblings, but for the most part, he is a couch potato. Henry is easy to win over. All you need do is give him a few vigorous belly rubs throughout the day and he will be your friend for life. Henry requires inexpensive eye drops to protect the vision of his good eye and he is very polite about having them put in.
