Lulu Bear (click image for more pictures)

Over the weekend, we were expecting to pick-up a pug with demodex but we were not prepared for the shocking and heartbreaking condition this baby is in. Lulu has demodex, a severe skin infection, a staph infection and an ear infection. Our vet is erring on the side of caution and she is also being treated for both Sarcoptic and Demodectic mange. She has been hospitalized and will remain there for at least another week. Demodex is relatively easy to diagnose, treat, and not costly unless you let it get to this stage.

LuLu is only 4 months old. Her former owner told us that although she loves LuLu dearly, she could hardly stand to touch LuLu and that she was feeling sick to her stomach trying to care for her any longer. Despite the obvious pain that LuLu is experiencing she is still a happy pug and very much a puppy. She loves treats and craves human attention, sitting sweetly on your foot as you pet her. She has a very long recovery road ahead of her and her treatment will be costly. If you can help LuLu and other pugs like her please take a minute to donate. Every penny helps.

Bill Bailey

Hello World! My name is Bill Bailey and I'm 6 years old. I'm looking for what I hope to be my fifth and final home. I am one great dog and can't understand why no one wants me. Here's just the short list of my
attributes: sit on command; good listener; excellent guard dog; lap dog; loving affectionate gentleman; and unlike some other dogs -- call me and I'm there. I'm not asking much from a new family but I do have a few requirements. I prefer to be top dog so other dogs must be non-alpha; no cats please; no small children either, they make me nervous; and take care when messing with my ears, they are very sensitive. I must insist on regular baths -- they make me feel sooooo good! Food, water, a few toys and my own bed would be nice too.

Since Bailey has been bounced around so much he is somewhat distrustful. But with a little TLC he comes around. Bailey should be watched carefully around strangers and children. He does not like to be picked up or have his mouth, ears or feet touched by those he doesn't trust. He also needs help with his housetraining skills. Bailey is a great little dog who just needs someone to love him and provide some patient instruction. He is available for adoption in the Austin area.

Murphy (click image for more pictures)

Hello Pug Lovers!!!
My name is Murphy and I am extremely lovable! I am a very friendly guy, love other dogs and I also enjoy cats and children! My fur is super soft and plush and I am a very well behaved pug.
I'm estimated to be between 2 and 5 years old. As you can see from my pictures... I'm absolutely gorgeous. Like a lot of pugs, I injured one of my eyes and have a scar, but it’s no trouble. I'm a total hunk as you can see. I've got it all folks, brains, beauty and a spectacular personality to boot!

Jabba (click image for another picture)

Introducing…Jabba the Hutt

Jabba is estimated to be 9 years old. He is a very sweet and grateful pug. Jabba gets along wonderfully with both the male and female pug in his foster home. His foster mom reports that he is crate trained and potty trained. Jabba’s previous owners brought him to Griffith Animal Hospital for an ear issue and asked about euthanasia. This animal hospital does not condone convenience euthanasia and took this wonderful pug with plenty of life ahead of him under their wing! Dr. Wheeler has a heart of gold and gave Jabba a dental cleaning including tooth extractions, neutered him and treated is ear issues. The Doc also put Jabba on a MUCH needed diet. Jabba came in weighing 36 pounds, so you can see why he earned the name Jabba the Hutt. His foster mom works at the vet hospital and just so happens to be a pug owner/lover. Did Jabba luck out or what? She has done wonders with Jabba, providing him with a very loving foster until he gets adopted and keeping him on his diet…he has already lost 5 pounds folks!

A HUGE thank you to Griffith Animal Hospital for literally saving and enhancing this pug’s life! We are proud to have Jabba in our rescue program. This is one special pug everyone…please submit an application with his name on it!!! He will be a well behaved, loyal, loving companion and bring overwhelming joy to your heart…just look at him! Plus, with his recent dental cleaning he is super kissable…Jabba is ready for a forever home…please don’t keep him waiting.

Mr. Pipp (click image for more pictures)

Meet Mr. Pipp. He is a gorgeous hybrid Pug/ Lhasa Apso mix, originally purchased from a pet store in Michigan. This mix is knows as a “Pughasa” in the designer dog breed world. His owners loved Mr. Pipp greatly, but asked our rescue group to find him the right home due to extenuating circumstances involving an upcoming military deployment. Mr. Pipp has a laid back, sweet temperament. He got along well with his female pug mix sister and even let her eat out of his food dish (that must be the Lhasa in him!) . He is getting along very well with his pug foster sister but his previous owners did indicate Mr. Pipp seems to be an alpha male and was very bothered by a husky mix puppy he was living with recently. Therefore he is looking for a home with no other alpha male dogs or puppies. His former owner also said Mr. Pipp is good with kids and will chase but not attack cats. Mr. Pipp loves baths and to play with toys. He has a beautiful tail!
