MEET BOO BOO who came into rescue 9-24-09. Poor Boo Boo is only 3 yrs old. He was going to be euthanized at a shelter after being brought in because he was hit by a car. We came to his rescue & immediately brought him to the hospital. He has a huge boo boo- broken pelvis from the accident. Dr. says he will need to have strict cage rest for 6 weeks. He is on pain med and antibiotics and will go for his follow up appts as he heals. It's been 2 weeks since the accident and he is already standing and wanting to get around! Every day he keeps getting stronger. He loves to with you and loves when we tell him it's ok you are safe now. Boo Boo acknowledgess w/ plenty of kisses!
Any help for Pork Chop & his medical expenses will be greatly appreciated. We will see Boo Boo through what ever it is he will need until he is ready to go into a forever home.
*Anyone wishing to help Boo Boo or any other pugs in rescue is appreciated!*
IN MEMORY OF JELLY BEAN
We had the extreme pleasure in fostering him for almost one year after coming to us on April 14, 2007. He was only 15 weeks young. He went through so much in his life. The abuse that he endured and his rehabilitation and recovery. A 4 hour court trial that found his abuser guilty of animal cruelty . He was an incredible little guy a little hero in our eyes. We were blessed to have adopters that not only adopted Jelly in March 2008 w/ his special needs, but also Romeo who had recently undergone hip surgery so that Jelly could have a buddy to play with.
Jelly Bean was sent to the Rainbow Bridge. He will be part of the PDE (pug dog encephalitis) study at Texas A&M University and hopefully through Jelly we will be one step closer to learning about this fatal & devastating disease that primarily strikes pugs.
It was time our little friend
Our hearts have broken once again
but to know you were loved
Heaven sent now back above
Your spirit will always remain
and fondest memories of you forever in our hearts.
Foster Mom to a Special Little Hero

NOVEMBER PUG OF THE MONTH:.
RAMBO!!! Hello everyone! Iam getting around much better now. You should see how fast I can boogie around by myself! My hip continues to get stronger w/ evry passing day. Thanks for keeping me in your prayers. Rambo had hip surgery on 2-26-09. He had Leg Perthes Disease.This is a genetic disease found in young pugs. The blood supply gets compromised in the hip and there is a fracture as a result of this genetic disease. The orthopedist took him right into surgery created a hip joint for Rambo as well as fix the blood supply and remove any diseased tissue. These first 2 weeks are restricted to just doing his "business" outside. The following 4-6 weeks w/ be physical therapy. Staples will come out in 10-14 days. He is on 3 meds right now antibiotics and 2 for pain mgmt. Despite not being able to use his front legs this is yet another set back fpr poor little Rambo, but he is strong willed, happy and loves everyone. (Below is Rambos full story).
~~~~~~~~~
Rambo (photo on Right)& his sister Scarlet(Left) were found abandoned in a box to fend for themselves. These poor pups have a serious deformity on their front legs. Definitely a genetic flaw. This leaves the pups unable to walk on their paws so instead they are crawling on their forearms w/ their butts high in the air to get around. However they are not in any apparent pain. They have learned to get around pretty quick. They wag their tail and love to play.
I think we can all gather that the person who had most likely abandoned the pups was a backyard breeder. ~~~~~~~~Any help for these poor pups vetting/ surgery costs will be much appreciated in the is great time of need!~~~~~~~Update:Scarlet has just been adopted and had surgery to try to correct her defect but it will be about 6 weeks in casts until we know if it was successful. Rambo will not be a candidate for surgery since his elbows have fluid on them he may need a drain inserted if it does not clear up. Rambo is going to have a front wheel doggie cart designed for him once he grows a bit more. He has also been receiving training to walk on his hind legs which he is doing well in. He often stands perched up in the yard looking like a little groundhog. We hope ashis rear legs strengthen he will continus to walk even more!

Awwww, Those Cute Little PUGS!!
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 helpADOPTING 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.

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.
