***We appreciate your interest in adopting a pug in need.
Please respect our process and our time, as we are all volunteers with full time jobs.
An application starts the process.
We are not able to answer calls with questions about the foster pugs.
Please go to / to submit your application.*** If you come in the door after an hour away (heck even after a minute away!) I will do a happy dance and make you smile.
That’s what I love – making people feel appreciated.
I’m a loyal, devoted type and love routines.
I’ll wake when you do, and go to bed when you do.
As long as I’m with you, I’m content.
I like to eat.
REALLY like to eat.
If you have a little kid around who will feed me their food, or drop food for me to find, then you’re probably not the right family for me.
If you eat food off a low coffee table, I’ll grab it! Is it on the table with chairs pulled out?
I’ll jump up to get it! My foster mom says I’m intelligent and confident and that’s why I’m so good at this! So I need a home with good food-related supervision so I can stay healthy.
I’m easy to care for; I have no special needs aside from some occasional allergies that benedryl seems to fix.
As for my activity level, I’m pretty mellow.
I enjoy going out in the backyard and sniffing around – no worries, I don’t eat rocks! I’m not very noisy but I do bark if I see someone outside the front window.
I’m a little territorial, so I should probably remain an only dog, or live with another dog that is not dominant.
I’m also an introvert – I'll sniff new people but really I just want to either be alone resting, or hanging out with my human(s).
I can’t wait to meet him or her! Are you the one?
***We encourage you to come to our adoption events to meet the pugs in person if you are interested in adoption.
Again, please do not call regarding the adoptable pugs.
APARN is an all volunteer non-profit organization.
We do not have a shelter.
Our dogs are currently being fostered in private homes generally located throughout the greater Phoenix metro area.***
