Sophie |
|
 |
 |
|
Sophie, who came into rescue last year via the local shelter,
is coming back into rescue through no fault of her own. She is
a gorgeous 3 year old black pug. She's not your typical couch
potato pug, so if you are looking for a smart and high energy
girl who can keep up with you, she's it! She'd also do best as
an only dog so she can soak up all the attention.

Franklin |
|
 |
 |
Meet Franklin! He came to us from the shelter
where he was deemed unadoptable due to an upper respiratory
infection. He's at our vet being checked out but it should be
all clear in a few days. Despite that, he is adorable, sweet,
and spunky! The shelter said he is good with other dogs and he
loved to give kisses to his visitors. We estimate him to be
about 3 years old. He had the cone on because he got neutered,
but we will get more pics and an update on him once he goes to
his foster home.
Franklin is settling well into his foster home. He's a sweet boy
(and he's on the small side at around 20 lbs) who gets along
great with other dogs and cats. He loves to play and enjoys
walks. And he's definitely a contender for a longest tongue
contest!

Buggles |
|
 |
 |
|
Buggles was found as a stray, and the vet estimates he is 2 - 3
years old. He is mostly a calm dog, but has bursts of playful
energy. He loves going for walks, and is generally sweet and
affectionate, but can be fearful with some new people and other
dogs, and will bark at them. He would do best in a home with laid
back dogs, or no other dogs. |

Boston |
|
 |
 |
|
Boston is a 6 year old male that was surrendered because he wasn't
getting the attention and care he deserves. He is a big sweetheart,
and except for needing to lose some extra weight, he is in great
health. Boston loves everyone and gets along great with other dogs. |

Bleu |
|
 |
 |
THIS WAS BLEU BEFORE RESCUE:
Bleu is approximately 7 years old and if his body tells us any kind
of story, he has had a miserable 7 years prior to finding his way
dumped at the local animal shelter. Who can believe that being
left at a shelter would be the end of this sad eyed beauty's life?
After being evaluated by medical staff at the shelter, they decided
he would not survive or get adopted in the main area so they
referred him to rescue. That was the best decision Bleu had heard
that awful day. SNPR vets looked at Bleu and found that Bleu has
probably been in awful pain and discomfort most of his life.
He has clearly lived his entire life outdoors and has the medical
conditions to prove it. His entire body (especially his belly) is
covered with a bacterial and yeast infection and his ears are as bad
as they get. Both ears are full of 2 kinds of bacteria. The kind
that the Dr. is most worried about are the bacteria that is shaped
like large rods. These are particularly hard to treat and very
uncomfortable for a poor little guy. The vet did an immediate
culture and skin scraping to determine how to proceed with Bleu's
skin and ear care.
Bleu also has two knees that are no longer in place and basically
are bone on bone. (OUCH!) He hops and limps to move and is in a lot
of pain. Bleu will require surgery on BOTH knees as well as long
on-going treatments on his skin, and ears. Bleu's skin is so
inflamed that the Dr. is not even comfortable doing a neuter on him
at this time. Bleu will need several days of intensive therapy baths
and medicine to get the swelling down before SNPR neuters him and he
has his first knee operated on. Both knee's can not be done at one
time so ideally we will have his neuter and one knee done next week
and then after approximately 6 weeks, have his other knee done. |

THIS IS
BLEU AFTER RESCUE-AND HE’S READY FOR HIS FOREVER HOME!
After a few months, Bleu is a different pug. SNPR was able to clear
up his skin infections (his coat is amazingly soft now!). Bleu was
also able to have both his knees operated on. The poor guy had to be
in recovery for a long time, as we had to do one knee at a time.
However, for the first time, he can now run, play, and walk without
pain! His foster home says he is a sweet boy who loves other dogs,
and adores cuddling in laps. He is very smart, well behaved, and is
a very special guy. Now that he is all healed, he is ready for his
forever home, so please consider adopting Bleu and giving him a
forever home.
This is a story of what a huge difference some love, vet care, and a
great foster home can do for a sad little pug. PLEASE consider
fostering for SNPR, there are (sadly) many more pugs out there like
Bleu who need your help. |

June-Bug |
|
 |
 |
|
Junebug is a super sweet and small chug (chihuahua and pug
mix), only about 2 years old. She came to us via the shelter, so we don't
know much about her background, but she is looking for the right forever
home. She is scared of men, and will bark and cower around them, so we'd
like her in a female only home. She is doing great in her foster home right
now. She's an extremely sweet girl and love to play. While she is ok with
her laid back foster brother, she still would prefer to get all the
attention as an only dog. She's such a beautiful girl, and deserves a home
of her own!

Calvin |
|
|
 |
|
Calvin is great with kids, dogs, and
babies. He is a cuddler too, and he loves attention. He lives to play. He
loves toys. His favorite is to play with your fingers or to have a good
bone. Calvin is good on a leash, and loves to go on walks, and he also loves
car rides.
He is prone to allergies so he will
need to be on a fish based food. He will need a home that can continue to
work on him with his manners, as he has a tendency to hump the other dogs
when he is anxious, but he is a good listener and is easily stopped when
told no. This would just be something his new home would need to work with
him on as he never got much training before-but it's a small price to pay
for such an all around great dog!
Calvin is doing
wonderful in his foster home! His foster family has been working with him,
and he rarely humps these days. He loves his foster brothers (as you can
see by the picture). He loves everyone and everything. He is prone to
allergies so he will need to be on a prescription diet.

Oscar |
|
 |
 |
|
Meet Oscar-He's one squishy and super handsome pug;
check out his amazing wrinkles! Oscar's owner could no longer take
care of him, so she made the tough decision to give him to SNPR in
the hopes that we will find him the perfect home.
He's about 9 years old, and has very limited sight. However, that
doesn't really keep him down; dogs adjust just fine once they know
the lay of the land, so don't let that stop you from applying to
adopt this sweet boy who needs a soft place to lay his head.
He's very sweet and loveable; right now he is at our vet's now
getting the works-dental, ear cleaning, and a couple of baths to
help with his itchies. More details on this handsome boy once he is
in his foster home.
Oscar has settled into
his foster home and made himself at home. He is the sweetest boy, who loves
nothing more than to cuddle on your lap and play with his favorite toy. He gets
along with other dogs, and follows them around, so he quickly learns the rules
of the house. Everyone who meets Oscar falls completely in love with him. |

Caesar |
|
 |
 |
|
Caesar is a 6 year old pug. He is a beautiful pug and he loves
to cuddle. He'd be perfectly happy sitting on your lap all day. Caesar did have
bladder stones, so his new home would need to keep him on special food and take
him in for regular check ups. Caesar would also do best as an only dog, or with
a very calm dog; while he gets along with other dogs most of the time, some high
excitement situations can cause him to react to the dogs around him. But he
adores people and would make someone a great buddy-he also gives great kisses! |

Zeus |
|
 |
|
|
6 year old puggle who shows signs of extreme abuse. He cowers when
you go to pet him and he was surrendered to the local shelter with
several broken teeth. Fortunately for Zeus, the shelter called SNPR
and we just couldn't let him be put to sleep over some broken teeth!
Zeus is kind, and gentle and is eager to please and receive love. He
LOVES having his ears and neck scratched and leans in for more when
you stop petting him. He is beautiful and in the right home will
learn to trust again. |

Holly |
|
 |
 |
|
Holly is a 12 year old female. She's sweet, adorable,
and gets along with other dogs. Her eye sight is limited due to lack
of previous care. More details and pictures coming soon once she
settles into her foster home.
Holly
will make someone VERY happy! She's a happy go lucky girl, who
loves to be pampered (and she deserves it!). She's a great
cuddler, so if you are looking for your new best friend, look no
farther than Holly. Please give our senior pugs a chance to
live out their lives being spoiled.

Betti White |
|
 |
 |
| Here's Betti
White. She's about 10 years old. She was found wandering
around and the person who found her tried to find her owners
with no luck and she's not micro-chipped. She was in pretty
bad shape when SNPR got her... she had a severe urinary
tract infection... so bad so that she actually smelled like
infection... and no joke the smell of her urine would make a
horse fall over! She wasn't spayed, has arthritis, her
teeth were in bad shape, had a mammary lump that was oozing
brown fluid and she is completely blind. But on the bright
side, her hearing is just fine and no ear infections! After
a trip to Durango Animal Hospital on Friday, April 15th, for
a spay, lump removal and a dental, she's doing much
better... and resting comfortably at her foster home. The
mammary lump has been sent out for testing, but our vet
believes it will come back as a non-cancerous weird mass.
She gets along with other dogs at her foster home and will
follow you if you clap your hands or make some kind of noise
she can track. She's super sweet and will camp out on the
couch with you, but you have to watch to make sure she
doesn't step off the side! If you can find it in your heart
to open your home to this sweet senior looking for a place
to call her own, please fill out an application today. |
