APARN has adopted out over 350 pugs since February, 2001! Most of these stories are from 2001-2002; we will be updating this page in the near future with pugs from 2003-2007!

Elvis (left) and Alfie (right) became fast pals when Alfie joined the family!

Mickey, a young white pug, is now Petey's little brother! His family says Mickey is the best thing to happen to Petey since APARN and his adoption. The two of them spend the entire day chasing each other around the house or the yard “fighting” over their many Petsmart squeak toys. They are the best of friends, and very happy together!

Sprung from the shelter, Petey was originally misdiagnosed with severe allergy problems, as his hair was falling out in patches all over. When suggested remedies did not work, a second vet did a second and third skin scrape, and found demodectic mange to be the culprit. With the appropriate treatments, Petey got right on the road to recovery, and quickly found a new home. He is now enjoying life with his new dad and two pug brothers!

Kramer's foster family fell in love with him and he is now a permanent resident, assisting in the daily Pug Patrol rounds. He is living in Flagstaff and enjoys ocassionally make fun of those he left behind here in the Valley. Kramer wants everyone to know how lucky he is to have found such a happy ending to his journey.

Darling Dharma has found a place to call home. She has new brothers and sisters who she loves to curl up with on the waterbed to watch TV with Mommy. Life is going great for our little girl with the big tongue!

Molly is such an angel - is it any wonder that her foster mother decided to adopt her right away! Molly was at a kill shelter in Phoenix. She had been abused and neglected and she wasn't even a year old. Her sweet temperment has ensured that she will be spoiled as she deserves by her new mom!

Mailo's owner couldn't keep him anymore because he was not good with children. APARN found him a home where he is worshipped by his Rottweiler brother and sister who think he is great. His new family sure loves him too. So Mailo is enjoying himself as King of his Castle.
