Pugs N Roses

When we first saw the picture of Shamrock, we were stunned at how beautiful he was. A rare Pug/Lab mix, we knew we had to save him. Here is his video at the shelter – his name was Zaba. We rescued him – We were unsuccessful finding him a home in Southern California. I’m from […]

Kermit was a great pug mix that was abandoned at Animal Friends of the Valley in Wildomar. We rescued him and he was adopted quite quickly by a local Temecula family.

When my husband got out of the Marine Corps – all he wanted was a big dog. We already had 3 pugs – Gizmo and Zorro – the two I had before I met him, and Gidget – the pug we adopted while he was stationed in Hawaii. We also reasoned that it would be […]

Sometime rescue isn’t about pulling, fostering, and placing dogs. Sometimes all these dogs need to save their life is money. This heartbreaking picture of a senior pug showed up on the OC website. We called and found out that his owner was out of the country, he escaped the yard of his owner’s daughter, and […]

We were thrilled when Downey Animal Shelter started networking their pets on facebook. In their first networking list, we saw Alfie and Poppy. Video of Alfie at the shelter. Video of Poppy at the shelter. They were both so adorable that we went to pull them. We didn’t have any local fosters so we sent […]

Frosty and Bailey were on the urgent list at the OC shelter. Shawna went to pull two dogs – but when she got there, the shelter wouldn’t give her Frosty because they said he was aggressive. And the other dog we were supposed to get had actually been adopted already but they had given the […]

Mars was one of our first rescues from Baldwin Park. This doxie/pug puppy had been at the shelter for two months. He didn’t get along with many dogs so he was labeled as needed to be adopted as only dog. This hurt his chances for rescue. We asked several rescues to take him but they […]

At 3:45 on a December 26 – I saw Nights picture on a Friends Of Freddie networking picture of facebook. He was due to be put down at Devore at 5. I didn’t have a puller there and lived 2 hours from the shelter. I called Devore and begged the lady to give me the […]

On New Years Eve – I saw Jill’s networking picture at Lancaster. She is the cutest pug/boston Terrier mix. But I didn’t know anyone who could pull from Lancaster and that shelter is very high kill and also three hours away from where I live. I called the shelter and they said she was super […]

Adorable Mandrake had no interest. He was on the Baldwin Park Shelter, and this cute puggle/dachshunds mix stole our heart. Shawna saved him with Zoey and Galahad, both of whom were adopted almost immediately. We were baffled why this cute guy didn’t get any interest. One lady applied and backed out when we couldn’t guarantee […]
