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.

BONDED PAIR
Names: Whiskey #649 & Harper Lee #652
Gender/Age:
Male / Estimated Age: 8 years
Female / Estimated Age: 6 years
Status: Available
Adoption Fee: $700 + tax
Temperament:
Are you looking for the perfect love story? Than look no further than this adorable pug couple with their own wild love story. Because what great couple doesn’t have that?
Their owner did not think they were bonded, surrendered Whiskey, and kept Harper Lee. Turns out they ARE bonded. Harper Lee was unwell without her best buddy. Soooo, she was surrendered as well and they were reunited. The picture you see above is of that reunion.
Their foster shares that they are the absolute sweetest pair. Whiskey is very relaxed and just wants to be by you. He does mark in the house on occasion, but this has greatly dropped off since being neutered and is still being worked on. Both are pretty much potty trained. Harper can have an accident every once in awhile. They are both playful. Whiskey really likes to carry a toy around and Harper just likes to follow along. They do great on walks. Friendly with all dogs and good with kids. Whoever adopts them will be very lucky! They are pretty easy going and have lots of love to give.
If you think this adorable couple might be the perfect match for your family be sure to mention them both in your application or if you are already on the waiting list, reach out to the adoption coordinator for more information.
BONDED PAIR
Names: Walter #656 & George #655
Gender/Age:
Male / Estimated Age: 3 years
Male / Estimated Age: 5 years
Status: Medical Hold
Adoption Fee: $750 + tax
Temperament:
These boys were picked up from a good samaritan who somehow got them from a puppy mill in Ohio. These guys are approximately 3 & 5. Walter and George still have a ways to go in regard to learning how to “dog”, but they are quickly acclimating to the pug life. They already know their names, they are learning about love, snuggles, and snacks, and they’re as silly as as they can be.
Walter has the longer tongue, and George has the darker face. George always sits behind Walter. Walter is more outgoing, confident, and definitely the alpha of the two. George just goes along for the ride, but he is definitely more vocal. They are sweet, sweet babies.
They are not potty trained, but they are very smart, and quick learners on this and walking on a leash. They have shown some interest in toys, and they are definitely interested in snacks. As soon as they arrived and we got them out of their carriers, you could just see how happy they were to be free. They are really special boys, and whoever adopts them will be very lucky.
They will both need to be neutered and likely have dental cleanings before they will be available to go to their forever home.
Name: Chip #667
Gender/Age: Male/ Estimated Age: 7 years old
Status: Medical Hold
Adoption Fee: $325 + tax
Temperament: Chip is new to the rescue and we are still learning more about him.

We will share more information as we learn more about Chip! Be sure to mention his name in your application or if you are already on the waiting list, reach out to the adoption coordinator for more information.
Name: Butterball #654

Temperament: Who says you have to wait for a special occasion to have a Butterball? This adorable little guy is indeed named Butterball (a.k.a. Butters) and he is ready to bring lots of play and wiggles to his new forever family. He was an owner surrender and loves to move, you might even notice we had to hold him still for his photo! Butters has a lot of energy and is reported to get along well with other animals, including cats. Butters loves to expend energy by going on walks and playing in the yard. Butters has great house manners as long as a regular routine of potty breaks is maintained. Butters is best for somebody that can give him the exercise he needs as he is a young and energetic little pug.
