🐾 Meet Sammy at Pugsgiving in St. Augustine on April 12!

This 3-year-old fawn nugget of joy is equal parts snuggle bug and silly sidekick—and he’s officially accepting applications for his forever home!

Sammy may be young but he is a chill dude — content to tag along for the ride, watch Netflix with you, or do zoomies in the backyard when the mood strikes. He’s got a sweet heart, a playful soul, and loves kiddos and dog friends alike.

🥰 If you’re looking for a laid-back lovebug with a splash of goofball energy, Sammy could be your perfect match.

🐾 Meet Charlie! 🐾

Charlie is a spirited 4-year-old fawn pug with a BIG personality and a spunky attitude, ready to take the lead role in your heart.

Charlie would thrive in a home with a fenced yard and another playful pup to keep the fun going. He’s a social butterfly and does best with furry friends to help burn off his extra zoomies.

He gets along with other dogs and is always down for playtime. Cats? He hasn't met any yet, but he’s open to casting calls.

Charlie is not a fan of crates and will politely (or not-so-politely) let you know. He’s still brushing up on potty training and leash manners, but now that he's neutered, we expect those skills to level up quickly.

If you're looking for a pup who’s equal parts sass, sweetness, and superstar energy—Charlie is your guy.

🕛 TIME: 12pm–4pm
📍 LOCATION: Southern Oaks Inn, 2800 N Ponce De Leon Blvd, St. Augustine FL

🎉 Friday Foster Spotlight: Cody

🥰 Meet Cody at Pugsgiving in St. Augustine on April 12!

This adorable little guy checks all the boxes when it comes to being the perfect pug. He’s sweet, affectionate, and happiest when he’s right by your side. If you’re looking for a loyal cuddle buddy, Cody is your guy!

⭐ Why Cody is Amazing:
✔️ Great with kids
✔️ Walks well on a leash
✔️ Rides like a pro in the car
✔️ Listens well and wants to please
✔️ 100% potty trained (just take him out regularly!)
✔️ Velcro pug who will always be by your side
✔️ Champion snuggler—he’s the best sleeper in bed with you!
✔️ Not a barker, not a troublemaker—just an easygoing guy
✔️ Loves people and other dogs as well as cats!

The only thing special about Cody? He has epilepsy, which is easily managed with medication. But don't let that stop you from adopting him because he doesn’t let it slow him down one bit! He’s still the same loving, snuggly, and easygoing pup who just wants a family to love him.

💙 If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate companion who will fill your days with love (and your nights with the best cuddles), Cody is your guy!

💙 April is Heartworm Awareness Month 💙

The American Heartworm Society recommends heartworm testing once a year and using heartworm prevention all year long.
Annual testing is necessary, even when dogs are on heartworm prevention year-round, to ensure that the prevention program is working. Heartworm medications are highly effective, but dogs can still become infected. If you miss just one dose of a monthly medication—or give it late—it can leave your dog unprotected. Even if you give the medication as recommended, your dog may spit out or vomit a heartworm pill—or rub off a topical medication. Heartworm preventives are highly effective, but NOT 100% effective. If you don’t get your dog tested, you won’t know your dog needs treatment.

➡ To learn more about heartworm disease and how dangerous it is, read this article from the American Heartworm Society: https://www.heartwormsociety.org/heartworms-in-dogs

🤩 BIG NEWS!

🐾 Today only, we’re offering an Adopt One, Get One Free pug special!
Adopt one pug, and we’ll sneak a second one into your car when you’re not looking. We call it the "Surprise Snuggle Buddy" program.

⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

APRIL FOOLS! 😂

But in all seriousness, adopting even ONE pug saves TWO lives—the one you adopt and the one who gets to take their place in rescue. 💙

Happy Tails to Ruby!

💙 When Ruby came into rescue after her owner passed away, she was in rough shape—her skin was a mess, and she needed some serious TLC. With time, love, and care, Ruby blossomed, ready for a fresh start.

That’s when her amazing adopters Holly and Bernard stepped in! Longtime rescue advocates and PRFG supporters, they made the drive all the way from Palm Beach, FL to Atlanta, GA to bring their new family member home. Now, Ruby is living her best life with her pug siblings, soaking up all the love she deserves.
