Pug Nation Rescue of Los Angeles

Lisa (Chi) and Bart (Pug) needed to escape from a bad home in Mexico and fortunately our transporters brought them to us so they can embark on a better life here in the States. We are still getting to know this bonded pair but from what we have learned Lisa is timid and shy and relies on Bart and Bart loves human attention. At the moment the pair has to be separated because Bart has ringworm which needs to be cleared before he can reunite with his sister. Lisa was very skitti...sh in our main pen with the other dogs so we figured we’d wait for her boyfriend to come out with her so she would feel supported. We do hope that does the trick and they can coexist with the other dogs in general population; we have high hopes as they are only about a year old and have a lot to look forward to. Once Lisa trusts you she’s just fine so for now we are considering them bonded and will see how they do. For more information in Bart (1year old male) and Lisa (1 year old female), their available friends and the adoption process please visit pugnationla.org or email us at [email protected].

Huge thanks to Amy for pulling London from a Vegas Shelter for us. She’s in pretty bad shape as she can’t walk, has an apparent mass in her abdomen and is a bit despondent. Hard to tell if it’s a neuro issue or she’s been abused and/or is depressed. In any event she needs a ride to Carson ASAP so we can get her assessed - anyone headed in from Vegas? Please message us or email [email protected] if you can help thanks so much.

Jack and Moe were relinquished to us because their family ran into their own health issues and decided they could no longer care for the pair. The boys love human attention and are very playful with their friends in the general population area. Moe is more dominant over Jack so sometimes sibling fights break out but so far nothing too serious. As in a true rivalry, in the next few minutes you will see this bonded pair curled up next to one another as if nothing ever happene...d. The boys are only 1 so we are looking for a home that will take them both and a family or individual who has lots of space and time for two active, beautiful young boys. (Jack: 1 year old male black pug; Moe1 year old male fawn pug) For more information on Jack and Moe, their available friends and the adoption process please visit pugnationla.org or email us at [email protected].

Tiny Evee was relinquished to Pug Nation from her previous owners south of the border. So she made the long trip to us and you wouldn’t know what she’s been through; from the moment she arrived she was unfazed, loving and friendly. Our best guess on Evee is she’s Pomeranian / Pug? Not sure but this little bundle of energy loves human attention and is happy playing independently although she gets along just fine with other dogs. She’s only 10 months old and we are already ...sad she won’t be with us too long as we know someone will snatch up this little lover very soon.

This sweet baby is named Coraline and needs your help. She was listed for sale on Craigslist despite the fact she was badly injured after falling down a man hole. Her owner did not take her to a vet to be diagnosed and did nothing for her pain. No telling how long she suffered until the owner finally agreed to hand her over to us. We took her immediately for X-rays and pain meds; our doctor figured she must have landed on her back and confirmed a few broken vertebrae and ...referred us to a neurologist. Fortunately she can walk, defecate and urinate and unless you lift her she doesn't seem to be in a large amount of pain (of course she's well medicated). Our neurologist said that we could let her back heal on its own but we would be taking the chance that she could experience pain if she turned wrong or it could re-break. Choice two is to get an MRI and a CT Scan and probably back surgery; she's only 6 months old and we want her to have the best chance at a normal and healthy life possible, so we are preparing to go all the way. Of course the cost for such diagnostics and surgery is astronomical but she deserves our best. She needs both tests so they can see her spine and surrounding nerves as well as the bones in her back to make absolutely sure surgery would be successful. Her testing and possible surgery is Monday morning so please think the best of thoughts for our little Coraline and if you can chip in a few bucks we'd really appreciate it.

Hi everyone! Sorry for the delay, we had a late morning vet run. Where are you watching from??!

Rerun the pug was relinquished to us as he had chronic skin issues and his owner could not keep up. Took us a minute to get him on the right track and then the Castro Family was more than happy to give this sweet, big eyed teddy bear a home. He's pretty content with all of his new found attention and his doggie brother, Harper. We are thrilled Rerun got a second chance and know he will flourish with a ton of love and good care.

Tony and Yisselle came searching for a senior friend for their Pug, Leo (fawn on the left). Papi was waiting patiently for a family as his owner surrendered him to a local shelter and we were able to get him out. After a test drive in the home, the pair wrote to us and said 'of course we want to adopt him'! So Papi now is settled in and enjoying his new home, brother and parents

About a year ago we saw the tiny, fragile Clairee listed on a shelter website. No dog deserves to be in a shelter, never mind a little 14 year old pug. She had a long laundry list of ailments including but not limited to dental disease, luxating patellas, arthritis, etc and we did the best we could to help her feel better. After a few months with us a family came forward to foster her and they took great care of her and she stayed with them about a year; unfortunately they... had to return her. We were SO grateful that Eileen saw Clairee on our social media and was interested in meeting her and possibly adopting her at our Grand Opening. Well, needless to say she fell in love with that little face and took her home. We cannot express what it means to us to see Clairee in the grass, sleeping in a bed, being held and loved every moment of every day. A huge thanks to Eileen for adopting our very precious Clairee See more

Agnes was relinquished to us because she didn't get along with the other dogs in the home. This beauty queen does have a list of ailments - no eyes, she's diabetic and mostly deaf BUT Agnes is about as strong and confident as they come. She's quite amazing, really, as she is full of life and isn't afraid of anything and certainly won't back down from a fight (in fact she starts most of them). We've found that she does get along with some dogs but the problem is because she ca...n't see if a dog runs into her she will go on attack so for now she's been separated for everyone's safety. Once she has "claimed" her human, she's extremely loyal and prefers not to share the attention; she adores endless belly rubs and gives lots of kisses to her human and is hoping to find one that doesn't have any other pups.

Beautiful, young Snoop was red listed at a local shelter (meaning he could be euthanized) due to aggression. Was he fearful and aggressive when he arrived? Yes. But with most of these dogs they are just afraid, probably have been abused, and just need time to learn to trust again. Jordan and Tiff took the time to visit Snoop a few times, let him get to know them, then they applied, got approved and were thrilled to take him home. He's done really well with them and we couldn't be happier for the little guy and his new family. A huge thanks to staff for being brave and knowing how to handle some of these biters; we all take immense satisfaction in rehabbing them and watching them turn into Teddy Bears.
