My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Mrs. Peacock, a resilient 10-year-old lady who has faced her share of challenges but never lost her spark. Found as a stray, we don’t know her full story, but her unwavering spirit helped her survive until she found safety with us. Now, she's feeling better than ever and is ready to find her forever home!

This pint-sized princess knows she’s royalty and happily takes on the role of queen in any household. While she’s friendly with other dogs and has even been spotted napping with her canine pals, Mrs. Peacock would also be perfectly content as the only dog in her home. If there are other dogs, they should be calm and respectful of her space.

Mrs. Peacock is fully blind, likely having adapted to her vision loss long ago, and is a pro at navigating her environment. Her other senses are sharp, so blindness doesn’t slow her down much. More importantly, Mrs. Peacock is diabetic and requires insulin injections twice a day to manage her condition. She handles her injections like a true champ, and while it might sound intimidating, she’s absolutely worth the extra care!

As a senior, Mrs. Peacock also has mild arthritis, which is well-managed, and she would thrive in a home with senior dog experience. She’s looking for someone who will help her continue to age gracefully and give her all the love and care she deserves. Could you be her perfect match? Inquire about Mrs. Peacock today!

More about this rescue

Pug Nation Rescue of Los Angeles is a registered 501c3 non-profit organization dedicated to the rescue, care, and placement of abandoned, neglected, unwanted, displaced, and abused pugs. Our goal is to find every homeless pug a forever home; if we cannot do that, we pledge to provide a comfortable and loving place for sick or unwanted pugs to live out their lives. Our Board of five and numerous volunteers are passionate about Pug Rescue and live by our motto of “One Pug at a Time”. We feel that through our efforts we can change many of these forgotten Pug’s lives. In order to find our Pugs a home as soon as possible, we hold at least three adoption fairs a month and also organize a number of fundraising events, including the annual Pugtacular festival and Legendary Bingo at Hamburger Mary’s in West Hollywood. These events and on-line fundraising have provided the money to help pay for vet treatments, medicine and loving care at our Pug Station. We rely on the generosity of our supporters through donations and participation in our fundraising activities. If you would like to make a donation, find out about the next event, become a volunteer, foster, or adopt your own rescue pug, you are in the right place! You can also follow us on Facebook and twitter, there is always something going on and new pugs needing your help.
