Looking for someone to adopt a bonded couple of pugs....my current situation is just not fair..

[brokenheartpugmom]

I'm absolutely broken hearted. Due to life changes beyond my control. Losing our house last year and now having to rent. Have a family member living with my husband and I for the next couple years and she is allergic to my pugs. I don't feel like my beloved pugs are being treated the way they deserve. My female black pug is 10 and my male fawn pug is 9. They are bonded and have been together for 9 years. They like all pugs just want to be with us and its killing me because I have to keep them separated in the house due to the allergy issue with my family member. The female is low energy and just wants to be LOVED. She has to be right next to you at all times and just loves attention. My male is very playful and sweet. He LOVES to play fetch. They are perfectly behaved in the house. Never have accidents in the house. The male is food aggressive with other dogs including the female, so he has to be separated at feeding time. I don't give them chew toys or bones because it can cause squabbles. Both are healthy. The male had a bowel obstruction last year after he chewed a piece of of a stuffed toy. We scraped together the money and had the surgery and he recovered perfectly. He also has some food allergies, but as long as he stays on a specific food he doesn't have any issues.

These dogs have absolutely 100% been my life for the last 9 years and the things that are happening in my life right now are just not fair to them. We're getting ready to move into a smaller home and I fear they're going to be separated from us even more than they are now. I sit with them as much as I can, but it's all just breaking my heart. I'm pregnant and I know when the baby comes it will be even hard to keep them separated in the house and to spend the time with them that they deserve.

I know there's rescues out there, but I just can't imagine handing them over. I wanted to put some feelers out there and see if anyone might be looking for a bonded pair of pugs. I really just need help.

Thanks for listening.

Unfortunately, the sooner you contact the rescues, the faster they'll find homes!

My heart goes out to you!

[6 Beautiful Pugs]

I am in Riverside County, Sun City specifically. I volunteer and foster for Pug Rescue of San Diego. ( Pug Rescue of San Diego ) they are a wonderful organization and I'm sure would make room for your sweet babies. All of our pugs are kept in loving foster homes and given any required medical care, dentals, spay/neuter, etc. Many of our fosters, myself included, have a soft spot for the seniors.

Depending on exactly where in So Cal you are located there is also Pug Nation in LA County, Pugs & Pals in Orange County and Central Coast Pug Rescue which serves Ventura County and the Central Coast and Central Valley along with several good all-breed rescues. San Diego is by far the largest in So Cal however and is where you are most likely to be able to have them kept together throughout the foster and adoption process. If you look at our available and adopted dogs, you will see we have successfully placed many senior pairs....but realistically, probably 80% are adopted by their foster families.

I'm so sorry you are going through these circumstances. Feel free to PM me and I can talk to you further.

Take care,
Lisa

i'm sorry to hear this.....please go thru rescue.....
i wish there were another solution, I think i might be inclined to get rid of the husbands family member before I'd get rid of my family members (your pugs)

Rescuers are wonderful people and organizations... they are here to help when situations arise such as you describe. I (and they) realize it is a difficult decision and they are careful to not make it harder than it already is... your pugs will understand, and you will have done the bravest thing possible for their better health and care.

You have to put one foot in front of the other and walk through this ordeal... and on the other side of even this (not insignificant) bit of releasing them to better care, you will know that you have taken control and taken CARE of those who mean so much to you... and that is A Good Thing that will allow you to walk on through the rest of the your scene.

Meant to be supportive in every way,

I am:

Yes, please go through rescue. They will be sure that your puggies wind up in the best home. They'll be able to check out things that you can't!! I am so sorry you are having to give them up, but you obviously have their best interests at heart.

That's so heart breaking, I'm sorry for you. Do use the rescues and the sooner the better.Good luck to you.
