Pugs of the Day: Fawkes

Hi I’m Fawkes! I’m a husky-pug mix (called a HUG) and me and my brother Norbert are the last of our litter still in foster care. We want to be adopted, so we are looking for our furever homes! We are just 4.5 months old and are very smart! The Embark DNA tests say that we will be approx 33-38 pounds when full grown. (We have seen some pugs bigger than that online!) I don't want to confuse you, so let me add that we are not looking to get adopted together!

Foster mom says I am vocal like a husky, and I love water! I also love running in the grass no matter the temperature! I am a sweet and snuggly boy but I also have a lot of puppy energy. I would love to go hiking with you and have lots of adventures!!! I have been very gentle with the cats and chickens at my foster home - a true gentleman! 🙏 Please consider adopting me! ❤️ 🐾

Also - the adoption application says no to certain large breed dogs BUT APARN is making special exceptions on a case by case basis because I’m half Husky after all! I would be a great little brother to a Husky home! 🐕 💗

Pugs of the Day: Norbert

Hi I’m Norbert! I’m a husky-pug mix (called a HUG) and me and my brother Fawkes are looking for our furever homes! We are just 4.5 months old and are very smart! The Embark DNA tests say that we will be approx 33-38 pounds when full grown. (I have seen some pugs bigger than that online!)

My foster mom says that I am sweet, snuggly, silly, and would probably like to be a lot lazier than my brother lets me be. I am a quick learner, I am mostly potty trained and I would love to be in a lap all day! Please consider adopting me! 🙏 💕

PS the application says no large breed dogs but since I’m part Husky APARN is evaluating homes with larger breed dogs on a case by case basis! 🐾 🐕

Situation: Serious 😣
We need pug foster homes! 🏠

Do you have a little extra time or work from home? Do you have a pug or two that might like a new friend to play with for a week or two? Or are you thinking about adding a pug to your home but just aren’t ready for a full time commitment?

Please 🙏 consider becoming an APARN foster! We have pugs of all ages coming in fast and furious this summer and we need more people to take in these poor pugs! APARN covers all vet bills, can help with food costs and all you do is get some extra pug snuggles! Yes they need to go the vet for an initial checkup and possibly a spay or neuter but most the pugs are reasonably healthy - they just need a place to stay for a bit until we find them an adoptive home!

So if you are home for the summer or have a little extra time to feed and pet a doggo we could really use your help. Please review and fill out the foster application!! ✅✅✅

https://www.aparn.org/foster/

We also have a foster to adopt program so if you want to adopt a pug but would like to make sure it’s the right fit you can check out our foster to adopt program! We always make sure our pugs are happy and the humans are happy too. 😃

EDIT: Adopted!!!

Hellooooo APARN fam! Did you apply for one of Ella’s puppies but didn’t get your application in on time? Well today is your lucky day! One of Ella’s gorgeous 100% pug puppies was not able to stay with her adopters due to no fault of her own and she’s looking for a new furever family! 🐾

Please meet Etta! She is just 14 weeks old, a gorgeous apricot color and she is just the sweetest little snuggle pug! She is still a baby of course and needs to learn potty training and to adjust to a new environment.

If you previously submitted an application in April May or June 2024 please message us or post below and we will review your current application. If you didn’t submit one - now is your chance! We have a few adult pugs available too! 🐾 🐾 🙏 ❤️

Hello APARN Fam! We have a wonderful girl ready for adoption! Please meet Ella!

Ella is approximately 2-3 yrs old. She was dumped while pregnant and she is the mama of the 7 beautiful pug babies!
She loves toys and loves to play, she is a sweetheart, loves to give kisses and loves hugs. She is a snuggle bug, wants to be close to you and loves everyone.
Ella is very active and needs exercise - she is still learning about walks - she needs practice and can often alert on walks.
She knows how to sit, is beautifully crate trained. She is still figuring out potty training but she is a VERY smart girl. She is curious about everything. She does like to eat things she shouldn’t - so she needs some supervision in the yard!!

Ella did not come from the best of circumstances and was likely used for breeding. She has some alpha boss lady tendencies and must be in a home with male dogs (no other females). She is also quite vocal and likes to bark at things. She will definitely need some time to decompress in a new home - she is also adjusting to having one eye. So if you want to adopt this gorgeous mama dog and have the patience and willingness to love on this girl and show her that she can have a wonderful life please submit an application!

Hello APARN fam! We need your help! We need to raise funds to pay for Ella - the mama dog who just gave us 7 beautiful baby pugs - to get some care that she needs. One of her eyes 👁️ has to be >gulp< removed. She came into rescue with an injury to the eye or perhaps an untreated ulcer. We just don’t know their story when these poor babies come to us so it’s our job to help them. She can’t see out of the eye very well now so she will be able to adjust fairly well to having only one eye.

Please consider donating to APARN via Facebook, PayPal or Zelle. Links are in the comments. 💵 🙏 ♥️

We need to raise around $2500 for the surgery as well as her spay and dental and Ella’s care so thank you 🙏 for helping if you can!!! 🐾
