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. Transport assistance may be arranged if resources are available.

  • 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.

Name: Bella #563

Gender/Age: Female/ Estimated Age: 8 years old

Status: Available

Adoption Fee: $325 + tax

Temperament: Please welcome Bella #563 to the BPR family! Despite being 8 years old, Bella is very energetic and can run super fast. She enjoys her walks and playing with her favorite toys. When Bella tires out, she is a total lap dog and is super affectionate. She sleeps in her crate each night without any difficulty and she is housebroken! Bella can get anxious in new situations and around new people, but once she is comfortable, she settles right in. Bella would benefit from being the only dog in her new home. If you are interested in adding Bella to your family, mention her name in your application today.
