Looking for a Pug? Did you know pugs shed ALOT? They snort and snore? Are easily prone to eye injuries? Need their wrinkles cleaned daily? Can be gassy and will never excuse themselves? Cannot tolerate heat or cold well? Can be stubborn and hard to train? Can be yappers?Can live on average of 12-15 years but can live as long as 18 years! Are you ready for this committment? Pug Planet LOVES Pugs! They require a lot of time and attention. They were bred to be lap dogs and it is their greatest pleasure to be your companion.They will not be happy as your jogging partner. They over heat very quickly and will result in respiratory failure. Pugs love to eat. In fact a pugs favorite word is FOOD! No matter how lovingly they look at you with those big brown eyes it is very important not to overfeed your pug.They can become overweight easily and overweight pugs have a difficult time with breathing. They need a high grade quality food we have several we recommend. OK, Are you ready to be owned by a pug?

WHO WE ARE

Pug Planet will help abandoned, abused, and unwanted pugs of all ages. They are rescued from shelters, other rescues, and owners having to relinquish their pugs for many reasons. They are fostered in our homes and are provided veterinary treatment which includes vaccinations, spay/neuter, heartworm testing, micro chipping and any other necessary medical care, plus lots of love. We evaluate behavior, get to know their personalities, traits and temperament as well as helping to train them. We strive to make each pug learn what love and compassion is all about. We can always use compassionate and dependable foster homes in order to accomadate more pugs in need. Please email us for our foster appliction if you can help

ADOPTING A FRIEND

Requesting an application by E MAIL is the first step in adopting from Pug Planet. We only adopt to homes in NJ unless otherwise noted.(DO NOT CALL to Adopt!) Your call will not be returned. The number provided is for emergency pug rescue ONLY and will not be able to assist you in adoption or questions regarding any pets at Pug Planet) Please read the pet's bio all the information is posted.

Once your application is approved a home visit and interview will follow. You will be notified if you have final approval. The last step will be an adoption contract and bringing your new pet into your home. ***Please note we are NOT a shelter so the pugs cannot be visited until your application is first approved.***Pugs are fostered by volunteers throughout the state of NJ not at our mailing address. We do not deliver or ship pugs.

Our furbabies will be matched to the best home available not necessarily in the order of request. The pug you apply for may not be the best candidate for your lifestyle or living situation. It is the decision of the rescue and that pugs foster parent(s) to decide if your application is a match and therfore we will contact you to proceed with a homevisit. Pug Planet is a private run rescue and receives no municipal, county, or state funding. Adoption fees are required in order to help in our efforts to rescue and foster more needy pugs everywhere. While much of this comes from our own pockets the adoption fees help to offset some of the costs associated w/ the extreme costs in rescue. All medical needs including daily prescription medications that some pugs require, vaccines, spay/neuter, heartworm check, monthly heartworm prevention meds, fecal check, micro chipping, frontline flea/tick prevention, premium quality food, special needs food for allergy prone or sensitive stomach pugs, treats, toys, neccessary supplies and more. Remember some pugs do and will require more extensive care then others.

Pug Planet will always take back any pet where the adoption does not work out and it is required that all adopters agree to return to us if a problem should ever arise for the life of the pet.

ADD'T INFO: We rarely get pug puppies but we do have wonderful pugs waiting for wonderful homes.

Until our rescue builds up the much needed members and volunteers our unless noted on the pet's bio adoptions are limited to NJ ONLY. This ensures that we can cover the state of NJ to perform homechecks and should any problems arise w/ any pug that has been previousely adopted. Please remember our small group of members/volunteers have jobs, families and pets of their own in addition to their volunteer rescue efforts they provide. Scheduling homechecks and approving applications can take time especially when there are many pugs in rescue and only a hand full of volunteers! We appreciate your patience. If you cannot wait we recommend you search shelters in your area where there are many wonderful pets available.

**PLEASE NOTE: Although we cater to Pugs, Pug Planet may have other needy dogs and cats posted on this site that may or may not be directly in foster or involved with our rescue. You should contact that person or organization listed on that pets description page. Pug Planet is not responsible for those adoptions not in our direct foster care.
