🦄 Are You Bonnie’s Unicorn Adopter?
Bonnie thinks the perfect man DOES exist and she is still looking for hers!
🐾 A Lady with Standards: Bonnie’s not shy about her tastes—she’s got a serious soft spot for the gents. Ladies, don’t take it personally; she just knows what she likes. She’s looking for a pug dad who appreciates a little sass and can make her feel like the princess she was born to be.
🏆 The Ultimate Blanket Burrito: Bonnie's favorite pastime? Mastering the art of burrowing into her blankets, where she’ll disappear until it’s snack time (her second-favorite activity). Her dream day? A cozy nap on her favorite dude's lap, wrapped in layers of warmth.
🚶 Walking Partner Extraordinaire: She’ll happily trade a fenced yard for a leash and a walk with her favorite man friend. Daily strolls? She’s here for it!
🏠 Queen of her Domain: She’s a bit territorial over her stuff, so she’s looking to be your one-and-only fur friend at home. She’s fine with other pups out in public, but at home, she prefers her own space.
👨👩👧 Adults-Only Preferred: Little kids are a bit too unpredictable for her taste. Bonnie is looking for a child-free, calm household with either adults or older teens who can respect her zen.
🥰 If you’re a pug dad who values a loyal companion, gets the value of blanket burrowing, and doesn’t mind being the spotlight of Bonnie’s adoration, we’d love to hear from you!
🐾Nina joined our rescue in June. She had been abandoned when her previous owners moved away and left her behind. She was sick and lethargic when she entered a county shelter in Orlando, and they quickly called and asked if we could help her. Thanks to our amazing fosters and vets, she was taken in for emergency surgery on July 4th to have a tumor and her spleen removed.
🫶Fortunately we were able to get her the care she needed very quickly. She recovered from the surgery; her skin and ears have healed; she had a dental cleaning; and her hypothyroidism is controlled. Every day after surgery she got a little stronger, and as she did her happy personality started to shine through. Turns out this senior puggle girl still has a lot of life left and we are thrilled that she will be able to to go on many adventures with her foster Dad who realized he wanted to share the rest of her life with her and recently adopted her.
✨We love these incredible success stories and we thank our supporters and volunteers for helping us make this life saving work possible for so many special pugs and pug mixes!

🐾 We want to give a huge shoutout to Susan Kret, one of our incredible supporters and adopters. Susan is a long time pug owner and adopted Daryl and Izzy from us in 2019. Since then, she's continued to open her heart and home to the pugs who need it most. This summer, she welcomed Ollie, and just a few weeks ago, she added Ringo to her special pack!
Susan’s home, affectionately known as the “Island of Misfit Pugs,” is a sanctuary for pugs with unique personalities and needs. Her passion for rescue goes beyond adoption—she’s also the proud owner of Pug & Poppy Studio/Sherman's Barkery, where she channels her love for these adorable furballs into creating something special for all dog lovers.
Thank you, Susan, for opening your heart and home to these special pugs. You have tackled many pug medical issues that have come your way and always gotten these little ones all of the care they need. Your dedication to giving them a second chance is truly inspiring!👏

Captain Jack
✨ FRIDAY FOSTER UPDATE ✨
🐾 Captain Jack has been with us for 6 weeks, is fully vetted and ready for his forever home! He is a special boy who needs a special adopter and we hope that is one of you!💕
After visiting multiple vets and an eye specialist, we have discovered that he was born with a few defects:
- Anophthalmia: This is a very rare congenital condition in which a dog is born without one or both of its eyes. Captain Jack does not have an ocular globe in his left eye so therefore he is blind.
- His right eye has retinal degeneration and optic nerve atrophy which means that he will eventually lose all sight in that eye as well.
🐶 Despite his visual challenges, Captain Jack has adapted very well in his foster home. He is a quick learner and has already mapped out his foster home and yard. He enjoys exploring his fenced in backyard but also walks very well on a leash and enjoys his daily walks.
🎥 Watch the video of him navigating the yard with his foster siblings!
🏡 We don't know exactly what Captain Jack has endured in his young life but we know he deserves a second chance and if you have a soft spot for a special boy like him, he will reward you with endless affection and companionship.

When your foster mom is trying to work on the computer and you are subtley trying to tell her it's snack time! 🥰
Little Ozzie is the cutest guy. He's feeling better every day.
It's a mini pug parade! 🐾
We wanted to show you a short video of Zowie. She is one of our foster pugs who is as sweet as can be. She found herself in a shelter after her person passed away - that's scary enough, but since she has very low vision, every new situation is a bit of a challenge. We have amazing fosters who help the pugs feel comfortable and build confidence -- it's not only our foster mommas who help the pugs, but other pugs in our foster homes also sense when a pug needs help, love, and support. Zowie goes back to the vet next week for a follow-up and we will keep you posted on her progress.
It's COLD - lots of sweaters and fleece blankets for the FL & GA pugs.
Show us how your pugs are staying warm today! 🥶
Thank You Joyride Harness for the generous donation for our foster pugs!
