Meet Anna, a shining star of hope! 💫 We're overjoyed to introduce you to this 6-year-old sweetheart, overflowing with love and affection. She's a loyal companion, always by her foster mom's side, and has even been known to drift off to sleep with her head on her foster mom's foot. 🙏 After being rescued from a breeder, she's ready to start her new chapter. With a spay and dental cleaning on the horizon, she'll be ready to bloom into her forever home in no time! 💕 Could you be the one to provide her with a lifetime of love and care? If so, submit your application today and get ready to welcome this precious gem into your heart! ❤️

It is Forever Home Friday! Today's lucky puggie is Pugsley! You may remember she came into rescue with a bladder full of stones. Well she is feeling her best now and excited to be a part of her new family! They are prior adopters of PPR and thrilled to have Pugsley as part of their family.

Congratulations Pugsley & family!

This adorable Canes fan wants to congratulate her team, the Carolina Hurricanes on their Stanley Cup Win and let you know that she is now available for adoption!

Ginger is a 12 year old sweetheart that we cannot say a single negative thing about. She is perfection! She was turned into rescue from a local breeder. PPR took her for her vaccines, got her spayed, she had a dental (and lost all her teeth!), and she was microchipped.

This angel won't last long so get your applications in today!

Sweetness alert!

This distinguished mature lady is Lucy Belle. She came into rescue as an owner surrender and we are delighted to have her! When she came in she was covered in fleas and missing a lot of hair. She immediately had a flea/tick bath and some prevention and visited the vet for her vaccines and bloodwork. She will go in very soon for her dental and then will be ready for her forever home.

Get your application in now so when she is ready you are too!

Hi everybody! Not sure if you remember me or not but I came into rescue in October 2024. At the time I was heartworm positive and the vet wanted to go with the slow kill treatment. That was done and one year later I was heartworm free and feeling great! Now I am looking for my forever home and the search hasn't been going well. I have had NO applications. Yes I know I'm not a pug but I am a very good boy and just want my forever family. My foster mom says that I would do best as an only dog and would make a fantastic companion dog for an older person as I love one on one attention.
If you know anyone that might be looking for a good boy like me please share me with them so they can apply to adopt me!
