Meet Tuna! (She’ll be at Pugs in the Park next Sunday!)

Tuna came to Colorado Pug Rescue after her foster moms found her getting less than the royal treatment in her previous set up. Since then Tuna has won the hearts of everyone she meets. Tuna is the most loving, cuddly girl. She has been very accurately described as a “living teddy bear.” If you’re on the lookout for a pup that just loves to be loved and can go anywhere with you, Tuna is your girl. Tuna’s foster mom’s love talking about her and would love to chat if you think Tuna could be the pug you’ve been looking for!

Cuddly, loving, queen of snorts, food focused with snacks on her mind, friend to all, takes naps seriously, clear communicator, human companionship is her favorite-especially while she adjusts to new settings.

Name: Tuna aka Tootie, Detective Tutuoloa if she’s out and about solving a mystery.

Age: 14?

Likes: Food,naps, being cuddled, being held.

Dislikes: Empty food bowls, being woken up in the morning.

Also: Mostly (90+%) blind. But that doesn’t slow her down for long. Tuna learned the layout of our house and yard in about a week or so. She can and will do stairs. Mostly/completely deaf. Chronic dry eye that will require drops for the remainder of her life-she doesn’t mind at all. Arthritis-she would benefit from some pain/medication management-currently she takes her medication with food and is non the wiser. If you’d like to apply to adopt Tuna, please go to our website and submit your application. https://copugrescue.org/adopt-a-pug/

If you have an application already on file, please email the adoption coordinator that replied to your submission.

UPDATE, September 24

This good boy's foster mom says he is doing well following his kidney surgery and dental care. He is happier and livelier than he has been for a long time. Many thanks to everyone who has donated toward his care. We are only $425 away from our fundraising goal for his veterinary expenses!

~~~~~~
We had to proceed with the urgent surgery for the poorly cared for pug with kidney stones. Because he was doing well under anesthesia, we were also able to get his teeth cleaned and some severely infected teeth removed. This should greatly improve his comfort and health. We are so appreciative of the donations that are coming in to help us with this large expense! Thank you for your support as we aim for our fundraiser goal.

Besides Benny, whose eye surgery will be done soon, we have three more pugs who arrived with medical needs. Please help us help them if you are able. https://www.facebook.com/donate/1271527083980491/

Meet Sully 🥰🥳 ADOPTED!!!

Sully is 2.5 years old but has the energy of a puppy. He is crazy cute, sweet and loves to cuddle. He likes to play with other pugs. Occasionally he will get very wound up and nip thinking that’s how you play. Since he came from an abusive background we are still working on this nipping. He is not quite housebroken but has come a long way since his initial rescue. He will require some patience but is very smart and I know he will be housebroken soon. He loves to go on walks and run around in a yard. We are unsure how he will behave around other breeds or cats. Since he still sometimes nips he may not be suitable for babies. He loves attention, love, affection, and will be the best companion.

If you'd like to apply to adopt Sully, please submit your adoption application by visiting our website. https://copugrescue.org/adopt-a-pug/

If you already have an application on file with us, please email the adoption coordinator. You would have received an email from them confirming receipt of your application at the time of submission.

Addie & Bernie are still looking for their forever home! Look at these faces! 🥰

Addy and Bernie are an adorable bonded pair who have been together for 7 years. They are looking for their forever home to enjoy walks with, playing and lying in the sun, and cuddling on the couch.

This sweet pair would prefer older children, and a home with either a calm, smaller dog, or no other dogs in the home. They are ok with cats. They are both kennel trained, and will share the same kennel when needed. Addy loves to wrestle and play with Bernie, and follow the cat around the house.

Addy is a spayed/14 lb., fawn pug mix (possible chihuahua) with a cute personality! She loves to cuddle, but it has to be her choice. She knows simple commands, such as “come, uh-uh, out, kennel, and eat!” She doesn’t like to be picked up, but prefers to follow the command, “come” and be greeted at her level.

Addy has had some anxiety which appears by her barking or growling at her tail/rear end. She may need an occasional check of her a**l glands by a veterinarian. She takes a probiotic supplement one time a day. She does well with a “potty schedule”, and may need to be watched for any “marking”. She is learning to go to the door when she needs to potty.

Bernie is a neutered/20 lb., furry, black pug with a calm/chill personality! He’s the most loving cuddle bug, loves belly rubs, and having his fur brushed. He enjoys wrestling with Addy, and is always by her side. Bernie has 2 old injuries; he was born with a deflated left eye, and his back legs are crooked. Neither injuries impede him at all. Bernie also knows the same simple commands as Addy. Previous concerns with marking in the house have been addressed with a consistent potty schedule. He will go to the door when he needs to go “out”. Bernie has had a**l gland inspissation (thickening of the a**l glands), which has been treated by a Veterinarian. He may benefit from an occasional check-up with a veterinarian. He takes a probiotic supplement one time a day.

If you'd like to apply this adorable duo, please submit your adoption application by visiting our website. https://copugrescue.org/adopt-a-pug/

Meet Gus! 🥰

Gus is a 2 yr old neutered male. He came to us from Texas and was heartworm positive but has finished all his treatments is cleared! Gus seems to be a pug/ terrier mix. Full of energy! He gets along well with other small dogs (who he’s not intimidated by) and he doesn’t really like cats. He’s great with kids and loves to snuggle on the couch with you. He would be an amazing partner for walks too. He can get a little jealous of other dogs but has learned the No No Gus pretty well. He also can have some separation anxiety and has been known to tear stuff up when you are gone, so he stays in the dog room with the others when we are not home. He is so desperate for someone who wants to love just him. 💜 He’s really a good boy for all he’s been thru.

If you'd like to apply to adopt Gus, please submit your adoption application by visiting our website. https://copugrescue.org/adopt-a-pug/
