Jack is 7 months old and is a ball of energy. Jack is looking for a home with a playmate to help him run off his puppy energy. Jack is still  in the chewing puppy phase so he needs a home committed to training him to be a good pug. Jack loves other dogs and kids and will make a wonderful pug for a special family.

4/29 Midgy aka Missy aka Miss M was VERY agitated/fidgety yesterday and would not sit still or stop crying/whining.  We took her over to our Vet and he felt something funny where her bladder should be.  He took an x-ray and either she has a HUGE lining of her bladder from multiple bladder infections that she hadn’t been treated for, OR she has a small bladder stone, OR she has a UTI now, OR something else is wrong.  The x-rays were not the best, as she still was just spayed on Friday.  He took a urine sample and will have the results tomorrow.  She also has not eaten since she has been in rescue and we couldn’t get her to take one of her meds as she did not want to eat anything.  We have gotten a liquid of that medication now, but she needs to take it with food.  Her foster mom says that she seems to be a little better today and isn’t pacing as much.  She will continue to watch her and if needed make another trip to our Vet. 

She is super sweet,  loves to give kisses, knows that the furniture is the comfiest place to sleep and gets along great with other dogs and cats.  Please send good thoughts her way… and that she starts feeling better soon.

5/12 After 5 years of being outside and used for breeding, SNPR is pleased to announce that Pauly has been adopted into a wonderful home. Pauly is still battling an ear infection and terribly tough skin and coat, but we are confident that Pauly will thrive with the special Hitchcock family. We knew when we picked up Pauly and Midgy that we would need to find Heros to adopt them and we are so thankful to Jackie Hitchcock and her family for seeing Pauly's beautiful face and wanting to heal all of his "wounds".  Pauly is already loving being on the people furniture and playing in the house with his pug brothers and sisters.

We hope a home as special as the Hitchcock home comes along for Midgy too!  Midgy continues her healing process at a special foster home who says she is making great strides in recovery.  Midgy loves furniture as well and is loving being an inside pug!  Please consider showing Midgy how special she is and open your home and heart up to her.

Please check back for details on this little guy.

Aki is an adorable one year old female pug who loves to play and gets along great with other energetic dogs. She has a persistent head tilt, which the vet says is probably a result of a past condition or something she was born with, and may now be a chronic but harmless trait. It sure doesn't slow her down any! This loveable little girl needs a forever family that can give her lots of attention and playtime.

Sophie came to us from Lied. We received a phone call saying they had a little black pug that their vet had deemed unadoptable, as they believed that she may have had ringworm.  She was picked up by Animal Control as a stray in a field.  How this adorable little girl made her way into a field is beyond us.

 Sophie is currently being boarded in isolation, until our Vet can determine exactly what is wrong with her and treat her.  She has tons of spots all over her entire body, some raised lumps and some just flat.  If our Vet cannot figure out what it is, we will have to take Sophie to a dermatologist.  She has a lot of spots missing fur.  She will also need her shots and will need to be spayed in a month or so. 

 Our vet believes that Sophie is about 4-5 months old.  She is just the cutest little thing – even with those raised bumps on her face.  When she is not playing, she loves to cuddle and give you kisses.  Please check back for more details on her condition.

 Once again, we are asking our supporters for help with Sophie.  As you may know, each pug that we get from Lied costs us an average of $500-$800.  With Sophie we are estimating her bill to be even much higher than that.  One look at this precious little girl and your heart just breaks wondering how her condition got this bad.  We will do everything we need to in order to get Sophie in excellent condition, so that she can be the little black diva pug we know she will become.  Please help us make Sophie better and send a donation today.  SNPR and Sophie thank you in advance.

3/21 – Sophie went to see a dermatologist today.  She had a biopsy done in 4 different areas with the hopes that we will find out what is wrong with her and where to start with her treatment- so we can get this little girl on the mend soon.  She was also doing a lot of sneezing when we had her, so we are not sure if she is coming down with Kennel Cough or not, but to be safe, she is on medicine now for that.  We should have the test results back in the next 7-10 days.

3/27 – We heard back from the dermatologist today.  Not the news we were looking for, but at least Sophie might have a chance.  What she has is Mastocytosis, which is an incredibly rare condition and will be treated, for now, with oral medication.  We are hoping that the oral medication will be all she needs to get this cleared up.  Sophie is not contagious, and acts like a normal puppy, but she will need to be on this medication for quite a long time.  The bad news is that our dermatologist cannot give us a prognosis of the outcome, as she has consulted with other colleagues and with over 30 years of experience, they have only seen this 3 or 4 times.  Please keep Sophie in your thoughts and send her good vibes.  We are really hoping this precious little girl is a survivor and will be able to fight with everything she has to overcome this and be able to live a full life, but, at this point, we are unsure of her future, except for the fact that SNPR will do everything we possibly can to help her.

Sophie is lucky to be in the care of the rescue, but we desperately need your help with Sophie's care. Sophie has already tallied up a vet bill of close to $1000.00 dollars and that is without her spay, or continued care which will be expensive as well.  With her prognosis being open and unsure, we must ask for your help. Sophie is an active 5 month old happy pug who was just diagnosed with some bad news... And we hope from this day on the news gets better and better.

4/08 - Sophie went for a recheck today and the vet was pleased to see how well she is looking-her bumps have gone down a lot since she first came to SNPR.  Sophie will stay on her medicine schedule, and we are optimistic this will continue to work for her.  Sophie still doesn't let anything phase her-she acts like a normal naughty puppy, and even barked at all the big dogs in the vet's waiting room! New photos added to the gallery!

5/03 Sophie had a recheck today and her vet was mostly pleased with her progress.  However, Sophie has a couple of stubborn bumps on her face that have reappeared, so she will be adding another medication (hydroxyzine) to her schedule, and must go back for another check up in a few weeks to see how this additional medication is helping.  She is also up to 9.5 lbs-right on schedule for her! New photos have been added to the gallery!

Zach was adopted from SNPR two years ago when Zach was 5 years old. Zach's mom who adopted him is now pregnant and having trouble with Zach marking in the house. Zach is a sweet pug with a great personality and simply needs someone who is committed to teaching Zach to be a good boy and giving him the security required for positive discipline. Zach needs a family who will work with him and not scold or hurt him for his potty issues. We are pretty sure that before being adopted two years ago Zach was abused, SNPR needs to know that Zach's next home will be loving and understanding, and will make the commitment needed to being his forever home. The security of a forever home may be all he needs. (And of course, lots and lots of kisses and hugs!)

Bubba and Cleo came to SNPR from a kill shelter in California.  Two special CA people sprung them from the shelter and met us in Barstow.  They are mother and son and would like to stay together.  Cleo is 10 years old and has limited vision and hearing, Bubba is 5 years old and really needs to make a New Year’s resolution to start working out.  Bubba has a skin tag on his back leg that will need to be removed and Cleo has a mole on her lower eyelid and a suspicious lump on her right side, both will also need to be removed.  Please check back for details on this pair.

Wink

Wink is a 3 year old pug who was recently found with a severe eye injury. Poor little guy had a choke chain on that was two sizes too small and a massive injury that required the removal of his eye. We named him "WINK" because this sweeties little expression now looks like he is winking at you all the time. Wink made it through the surgery and was also neutered and given his shots. Wink is on an antibiotic to make sure his incision heals cleanly but is ready to forget about what was apparently a tough start to his life and move onto his forever home with a wonderful family fit for this precious pug!! The vet is confident that Wink will have no ill effects due to the eye removal. His other eye is healthy and in great shape. Please fill out the application today though so we can get Wink settled into his new life.

Brutus - Puggle

Brutus is a 1 1/2 year old male Puggle with lots and lots of energy. Brutus is looking for a forever home with a yard and room to roam so he can work off some of his energy. Brutus is a sweet boy and such a cutie! Please check back soon for more info and pictures.  He is so very cute. Brutus's foster mom tells us he is very hyper and into everything. Brutus goes and goes non-stop. (The energizer bunny has nothing on this Puggle.) Brutus will need a yard and an active family committed to training and teaching him how to burn off his energy without "playing Nascar" in the house 15 hours straight !
