Puppy Mania Arrives to Pug Nation
Thank you to everyone who expressed interest in Lola's five puppies. All five puppies went to loving homes, so puppy mania has come to a close for now. Please consider one of our other dogs. While maybe not a puppy, they are still cute and in need of a loving forever home.

A Pug in Need

The picture on the right says it all; it shows the condition of Sally when she was rescued from the L.A. County shelter in Baldwin Park. The people who had Sally reliquished her after allowing her to get to this state. The image on the right is from a couple of days ago and it show Sally alert. There's actually a video, on our Facebook page, of Sally playing playing with a toy. Sally is a fighter and with the help of Pug Nation (and our friends at Del Amo Animal Hospital, in Torrance), Sally will be ready for adoption soon.

Sally is the kind of pug in need that Pug Nation Rescue of Los Angeles doesn't shy away from. Resources are limited. We need your help. Please use one of the donation buttons, at the top of this page, to make a contribution. No amount is too small. Your contribution will help Pug Nation continue to help all the little Sallys that come our way.

The Pet Collective Video

Several weeks ago a group calling itself The Pet Collective approached Pug Nation about producing a video featuring Pepe. The Pet Collective's mission is to share cute, funny, informative, and heartwarming original pet videos. Below is the video The Pet Collective did on Pepe for their "The Unadoptables" series.

For those of you that have closely followed Pepe story, weeks after this video was shot, Pepe was adopted. Pepe's physical therapy continues and his walking improves with each passing week. Pepe is a wonderful example of Pug Nation's commitment to all pugs. With your continued support Pug Nation hopes to continue helping other pugs in tragic circumstances, making their lives better, and finding them their forever homes.

Molly - A Success Story

Molly Living the Life in Her New Home.

Molly was a pug that Pug Nation help find a great home for some time ago. Her family is so happy with Molly that they wrote to tell us how she is doing in her new home. Her mom writes -
I am glad someone loved Molly enough to get her to us! She is a riot and a half and is absolutely in the right family. Molly is a cuddle-bug and we love her so much. Some funny things about her, she LOVES being groomed. Molly follows the groomer around like he’s her boyfriend. She loves wearing jewelry. She has her own jewelry box with her own jewelry in it. We call her J-Mo; she loves bling. Molly loves wearing dresses. I sew my own dresses and whenever there is fabric left over, I make her one too. (We have a matching wardrobe!)

If you've adopted a pug from Pug Nation, please let us know about their life in their new home. Better still... if you haven't adopted a pug yet, consider creating a success story of your own by giving a pug a forever home. You will not regret it.
