Also known as In Need of Forever Please visit Angels In Waiting to see those Pugs and Pug Pals currently receiving medical treatment and tender loving care in foster homes before being deemed suitable for adoption. Please note that not all of the dogs under the rescue umbrella of Alabama Pug Rescue and Adoption, Inc. appear on our website. Many homes have already been approved and are waiting for a suitable match that is best for all involved. We do not maintain a waiting list, but take great pride in pairing a rescue to a family. We take many factors into consideration.

If you are seriously interested in adopting a rescue, we urge you to begin the process by completing an application.

The number of dogs that must remain in foster care for an extended period of time is sadly increasing.  Many of these dogs are on prescription diets for their specific conditions.  If you can help by providing dog food coupons, or a make a donation to assist with their daily care needs please contact pugsrescued@aol.com.  We would be more than happy to provide a list of those foods in need upon request.

Note: Pugs who have been surrendered to rescue who have lived their entire lives as breeders require patience and understanding as they adjust to their new lives. Many have never been on a leash, taught to "potty" outside, or share a bed with other family members. Please do not apply to adopt these angels unless you have the time and the willingness to understand their needs and care for them appopriately.

Khaki


What a doll baby!!   This little boy sailed through his heartworm treatment and is now ready for his life to begin.  He has been a joy to have in rescue.  We estimate Khaki to be about three years old.    He gets along with everyone and actually smiles – yes, he does!   Khaki has done beautifully with his housebreaking though he still needs gentle reminders from time to time.  He is a snuggle bunny in his foster mom’s bed but also has no problem sleeping in his crate.  He is just a very adaptable kind of guy!  If you are interested in Khaki, please complete an application.

Cecil


GET BACK!  This high energy three-year old boy is ready to party!  Confinement for his heartworm treatment was indeed a challenge but he surprised us all with how well he behaved when crated.  However it is going to take someone who is patient with him as he learns proper social skills.  There isn’t a person or a dog that he does not like and he is exuberant in his desire to get to know them.    Cecil will only go to a home committed to giving this boy the very special attention he asks for (and deserves!).  If you are interested in this gorgeous boy, please complete an application.

Katrina


This beautiful little girl was one of the five puppy mill angels rescued earlier this year. She is just a doll and ready to move on to her forever home once a perfect match is found. She will bear the scars of her past for the rest of her life, but she now has adapted beautifully in her foster home. She is loving, adores playing with toys, gets along with all and is doing beautifully on her housetraining. Upon entering rescue it was felt that she may need knee surgery, but she has improved so much that this is not an immediate need. Veterinary recommendations are to monitor and to not allow her to become overweight. If you are interested in this petite doll baby, please complete an application.

Cherish


Cherish is a precious girl who was left in a “drop box” at an animal shelter. She bears the scars of a breeding world and has obviously endured great suffering in her past. Two of her legs revealed old fractures, and she has the scar of a corneal ulcer.  She has just completed 90 days of rehabilitation after one of the fractures require extensive surgery.   She is beyond sweet, and has gotten along beautifully with other dogs in her foster home. We estimated Cherish to be around 4 years old. If you are interested in this angel of a girl, please complete an application.  No phone calls please.

Elam


Elam came to us with multiple problems of which all have been now been addressed.   He was heartworm positive, had a spine injury, and had testicular cancer.  We are confident the cancer was resolved with his recent neuter and he has now completed his heartworm treatment.    He has surpassed all of our expectation with the healing of  his injuries and he is now ready to move on to a permanent home.  He does have limited vision that will need to be monitored, but he does amazing well.  He is a little guy and we estimate him to be approximately 7 years old.  If you are interested in Elam,  please complete an application.
