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

Name: Cosmo #592 (Black Male) and Topper #593 (Fawn Female)

Gender/Age: M and F Bonded Pair/11 years old

Status: Available

Adoption Fee: $350 + tax

Temperament: What's better than rescuing 1 pug? The correct answer is rescuing 2 pugs! BPR would to introduce you to this dynamic duo, Cosmo #592 and Topper #593. 

Cosmo and Topper are an 11-year-old bonded pair. They were surrendered to BPR by their owner who said they were getting too old to care for them 

Cosmo is the black male pug, and Topper is the fawn female pug.

Since Cosmo and Topper have been with their foster family, we have learned a bit more about their personalities.

Cosmo (M) is the biggest lump of love. He is actively losing weight and is feeling better than ever now that he has slimmed down a bit. Cosmo is a low maintenance guy and much less of a velcro pug than Topper. He prefers to be lounging around in his doughnut bed. He has a smiley face and loves his plushy toys and butt pats.

Topper (F) is a classic pug. She wants to be beside her human at all times, no matter the activity. She is not much of a barker, but she will let you know when it's time to sit for couch cuddles. She struggles to get around, but is getting stronger each day. She is even working on going up stairs with practice. 

Cosmo and Topper do not pee in the house, but do go #2 in the house sometimes. Their foster parents are actively working on that with them.

Overall, this senior couple is looking for a loving home and family to spend the rest of their golden years with. Could you be the perfect match for Cosmo and Topper?

Name: Peanut #637

Gender/Age: Male/estimated age 12 years old

Status: Pending Adoption

Adoption Fee: $175 + tax

Temperament: Announcing the arrival of Peanut #637! Peanut is 12 years old and was dropped off at the shelter by his family stating that he bit someone. Come to find out, Peanut is both deaf and blind. We don’t know if he actually bit someone, or if he did, was he provoked? Was it a misunderstanding due to Peanut not being able to hear or see what was coming his way?

All we know is that Peanut is in good hands now. Since coming to BPR, he has shown no indication of wanting to bite. This sweet senior guy is looking for a forever home where he can live out the rest of his golden years. He is still being vetted, but should be available for adoption soon.
