My story

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

Rapunzel came to us in rough shape after being found as a stray. She had clearly been attacked by another dog, with lacerations on her back and body, and she was also pregnant. In need of urgent care, she was brought to us to receive the help she deserved. Sadly, Rapunzel’s litter did not survive, and she has been working to heal, both physically and emotionally, since then.

At just 2 years old, Rapunzel is nearly a puppy herself, with a lot of energy and curiosity. She loves being the center of attention and does well with other dogs, though she’d thrive in a home where she can feel truly safe and loved. While she has some emotional scars from her past, they are ones that can heal with patience, understanding, and the right family by her side.

Rapunzel is a sweet, loving dog who blossoms once she feels secure. She’s playful, active, and adores human companionship. She would be happiest in a home that understands her journey and can meet her needs for love, attention, and play. Think you might be the right fit and be able to give Rapunzel everything she deserves and more? Please inquire 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.
