Meet our Adoptable Pugs!

Due to the high-volume of inquiries our all-volunteer group receives, please don’t inquire about particular Pugs unless you have already submitted an application and successfully completed the application process. Due to the extensive time commitment to process an application, each adoption application requires a $25 non-refundable application processing fee which is collected when completing the application process. We appreciate your continued support!

PLEASE NOTE: If you are applying to foster or adopt, and you currently have pets, we require all canine/feline pets to be current on all vaccinations, heartworm prevention medication and be spayed or neutered, unless directed otherwise by your veterinarian. Failure to comply will result in a delay of processing your application until we receive the updated records. We thank you in advance for your understanding!

Please Note:

  • Our expenses average 4 times the amount of the adoption fee per dog - meaning we have to generate $3.00 in donations for every $1.00 in adoption fees.

  • We are an all-volunteer organization that functions only on the money we raise through donations and adoption fees - we only spend the money we raise in a responsible manner to help the Pugs.

  • We often don't know exactly how old the Pugs are. We use our Vet's expert opinion to determine approximate age in these scenarios.

  • It will be your responsibility to travel to pick up your Pug.

  • Please understand that we sometimes have a waiting list of applicants. We compare incoming Pugs to the needs of already approved adopters on our waiting list and offer incoming Pugs to those adopters first.

  • If you are approved to adopt through BPR, your application will be active for 6 months from the date your application was submitted.

Name: Molly #580

Gender/Age: Female/ Estimated Age: 11 years old

Status: Available

Adoption Fee: $175 + tax

Temperament: Meet Molly #580! Molly is looking for a fresh start. Her owner could no longer care for her, so they made the difficult decision to surrender her, and we are happy to offer her a loving second chance. Molly is an 11 year old Puggle who is sweet as can be. She likes belly rubs before getting up in the morning and loves to play tug-of-war. She will grab a toy as soon as she sees her human stand up because she is ready to play. Molly gets along with other humans and dogs, like to take walks and be outside, and she is a quick learner. Molly even knows to bring her toys back inside when she is asked!
Molly has been with us for over a year now and although she is well cared for in her foster home she is ready to find her forever family.

Could Molly be the perfect fit for your family? Be sure to mention her name in your application.

Name: Kerolin #687

Gender/Age: female/ Estimated Age: 5 years old

Status: Available

Adoption Fee: $375 + tax

Temperament: Kerolin hitched a ride all the way from California in search of her forever family, and she’s already stealing hearts in Kentucky.

At 5 years old, Kerolin is the full package:

  • Toy obsessed — yes, she literally climbs into the toy basket.

  • Champion snuggler — couch cuddles are her love language.

  • Food motivated — she’ll do just about anything for a tasty bite.

Kerolin is working on a few things while she settles in:

  • Sharing toys

  • Potty training

  • Mild food aggression

The vet believes she’s simply stressed from all the change — and honestly, who could blame her? Once she decompresses and feels secure, we know she’s going to be the absolute BEST girl.

Special NEeds

Name: Sophie #683

Gender/Age: female/ Estimated Age: 7 years old

Status: Available

Adoption Fee: $325 + tax

Temperament: Sophie came to us after being surrendered due to extensive bladder stones which were causing her lots of pain and lots of accidents due to how little space she had in her bladder. BPR got her stone removal surgery and she is doing much better letting her personality shine through. Due to having bladder stones she will require being on a special medical dog food for the rest of her life to prevent re-occurrence and there is a possibility she could have stones again even with this diet. Hence this lady is extra special and needs someone who will care for her.
Even though she is 7 you wouldn’t believe it with this girl’s energy levels. She loves toys, snoring loudly next to you and being where ever you are. She is a little quirky in that she will bark/ whine when her person returns almost saying “I can’t believe you left without me, don’t do that again!”. She is a real cuddle pug and would make a great addition to any family.
If you are interested in Sophie please mention her by name when filling out your adoption form.

Name: Chip #667

Gender/Age: Male/ Estimated Age: 7 years old

Status: Available

Adoption Fee: $325 + tax

Temperament: Chip is a prime example of why having your dog on heart worm preventative is so important. Chip came to us heart worm positive, putting him in serious risk for his health, and requiring an expensive treatment course that has taken several months to complete. Luckily this little guy has gotten a clean bill of health and is now ready to find his forever family.
From his foster Judy:

“He is affectionate, sweet, emotional. He’s good with kids. Loves people. Doing so much better on potty training. Most accidents happen in the middle of the night now. He loves to eat and he loves his treats. He does play with toys. He is stubborn. If he doesn’t want to do something he is not going to do it lol.”

Do to his treatment this refined gentleman has been in our care for a few months already. Could you be the one to give him a fresh start? Be sure to mention him by name when applying.

Name: Duke #675

Gender/Age: Male / Estimated Age: 14 years old

Status: Available

Adoption Fee: $175 + tax

Temperament: Duke is a sweetie pie pug that is looking for a loving home to spend his final years. He came to us after being surrendered by his owner who could no longer care for him. He loves his toys, but doesn’t really play with them. Wants to have your attention, but doesn’t want to sit right on you. He likes to be close, but is also his own man and will go to his kennel to nap if he is feeling sleepy, or is happy to lay close to where you are.
This guy is so mild mannered, he gets along with everyone and everything. His current foster has grandkids of all ages and he loves interacting with them all. He also loves going for car rides and even enjoys the vet.
Duke is blind in one eye, can see out of his other eye but does have signs of a cataract coming in. He can do small step ups but stairs would be dangerous for him. Has trouble seeing at night when getting dark.
As most pugs he loves food and treats, any handouts you’re willing to give. If this sweet little man seems to be the one for you please mention him in your adoption application or if you are approved reach out to our adoption coordinator.

Name: Zelda #699

Gender/Age: Female / Estimated Age: 5 years old

Status: Medical Hold

Adoption Fee: $375 + tax

Temperament: Before coming into rescue Zelda was living on her owner’s porch. She arrived dripping in fleas, with severe skin irritation and nails long enough to give Dolly Parton a run for her money.

However, when you meet Zelda, you’d never know she had a rough past. She is a sweet little social butterfly who LOVES meeting new people. You’ve never met a pug more excited to see you…. Or more excited for ANYTHING, really. She is playful, silly, and a master of snuggles.

Zelda is potty trained, crate trained, and has shown no aggression towards dogs or kids. She’s scheduled for her spay, and she’ll be ready to meet her forever family in just a few weeks. Could that be you? Please reach out to our adoption coordinator if you are an approved adopter interested in Zelda.
