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: Cody Bear #622

Gender/Age: Male/estimated age 4 years old

Status: Available

Adoption Fee: $375 + tax

Temperament: Announcing the arrival of Cody Bear #622. Poor Cody Bear’s parents were deported, and he was left behind.

Cody Bear is a 4 year old Shih Tzu / Pug Mix. He loves car rides, walks, belly rubs, and sitting tightly next to his humans! Cody is a really good boy and is house trained. He gets along well with other Pugs and he loves people! It's unknown how he would get along with cats or children.

Cody Bear is a little bigger than a typical Pug, but as far as he is concerned, he's a Pug! Cody loves his meal-time and especially loves any time with his humans. Cody Bear is a well behaved little gentleman. Can you be Cody Bear's forever home?

Name: Peter #625

Gender/Age: Male/estimated age 2 years old

Status: Available

Adoption Fee: $375 + tax

Temperament: Please welcome Peter #625 to the BPR family! Peter was surrendered to BPR by his previous owner and now he is on the hunt for his forever family. Are you interested in giving Peter the life he deserves? Mention his name in your application.

Name: Milky Way #627

Gender/Age: Male/estimated age 1 year old

Status: Available

Adoption Fee: $450 + tax

Temperament: Introducing Milky Way #627! Milky Way flew all the way from LA to join us here in the bluegrass. Back in LA, Milky Way found himself all alone on the streets. Despite his rough start, Milky Way shines bright with personality and joy, he’s a bundle of playful energy and always ready to entertain! Milky Way is basically the life of the party. He zips around with zoomies, chases his own tail like it’s a full-time job, and keeps us laughing with his goofy antics. He may even have a touch of puppy-style “ADHD,” because he’s always bouncing from one fun thing to the next. He’s social, affectionate, and happiest when he’s included in all the action. Because he’s young and brimming with energy, he’d be best suited for an active owner who’s ready to take him on life’s adventures, continue his training, and of course spoil him like the little galaxy prince he is.

Milky Way can be aggressive around kids and other dogs, so he needs to be the only dog in the home and not around any young children.

Now all he needs is his forever family to orbit around. Could that be you? Please inquire today!

Name: Peanut #637

Gender/Age: Male/estimated age 12 years old

Status: Medical Hold

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.
