Say hello to Ozzy (renamed Joey)! he was adopted by a family in 2010, but sadly, they have returned him due to family financial hardships. He is about 7 years old, and has had some back problems in that past due to being about 10 lbs overweight.

Ozzy is potty trained, crate trained, and good with other dogs and cats.  He has lots of energy and loves to play with stuffed toys, and also loves to go for walks.

 If you'd like to be the one to give Ozzy a chance to learn how great life can be, contact us, he really does deserve a forever home of his own.

Cosmo had lived a full life already when he got to us. It had not been a life of luxury. He had lost his loving family late in life, come to Pug Rescue, been adopted, been thrown away by his new family, abandoned, lost and stray. Coz was saved by his microchip and brought back to Pug Rescue. He was welcomed in again by his first foster mom...and finally he was ready to join the Adams Family Circus.

Like most Pugs, Cosmo was full of character! Cataracts in both eyes, 8 inch tongue, a barrel body, long spindly legs, and the happiest tail ever. He had the terrible tendency to bark any time that his desires were not being met. He was a motived trash digger and champion catbox invader. Cosmo did not enjoy redirection and was not above snapping and snarling with his gummy muppet mouth. He so vigorously enjoyed being a leading member of his pack...and although he loved to tell other dogs off if annoyed...he was blessed with a bit of senility and was quick to forgive and forget.

My favorite picture...truly captures him.

All those naughty bits might lead you to think that Cozzy was trouble. He absolutely was a challenging senior and often drove other members of the family crazy. But for me Cosmo was an ultimate distraction. He came to me while I was fostering a difficult mom and pups, pug family. Of course I had the rest of my herd as well...I was unraveling from doggie chores. He came in and acted like a little old gentleman...bent back, smelly breath, and the most belly-button stinking, infected ears ever, he was pathetic! He looked at me sincerely and said "Mama...I'm gonna be real good now, but just you wait...just you wait." Over time the pups were adopted, lots of other fosters came and went, and my boy just went with the flow, waiting for his time to step into the spotlight. When Gobby(another amazing senior) passed away in the fall of 2011, Coz was ready and willing to become my sunshine boy, my carry around baby, my ghost-faced dirty old man.

I love him so much and am sad to say he made a surprise trip across the Rainbow Bridge last night, May 15, 2012. He saw me through an extremely rough 6 months...acting as my shelter in the storm...he stayed with me until I was settled safely in a new home. I am so grateful for his hilarious personality and his generous loving...I am glad he is at peace now, no more aches and pains, no more night terrors, just peace. I hope he sees my Jeila and Gobby and has a big Pug party. Thank you PRSDC for sharing these wonderful seniors with me...I couldn't manage without them.
