Five-year-old Gustavo, affectionately known as “Gus” or “Goose” in his foster family, is an outgoing little ray of sunshine with super soft fur. He loves having any chance to socialize with people and dogs of all ages, and will give humans a little nudge with his paw when he wants cuddles or affection. Gustavo is a connoisseur of chew sticks and squeaky toys, and when he meets new people, he will run to get his favorite toy of the day to show it off to them. His other favorite things include screaming with excitement when his food is being served, screaming with excitement when his foster family comes home, and cuddling next to his humans as the “little spoon” in bed at night. Gustavo is housetrained and doggie door trained, but doesn’t love to be crated; thankfully, he can be trusted to roam freely in his foster home and usually naps on the couch when the family is away. He has luxating patellas and can’t go for long walks, but that doesn’t stop him from trotting around the home or jumping on the sofa. He requires daily allergy meds to keep that pesky Texas pollen at bay, and also takes a daily joint supplement. Because Gustavo is so outgoing, his ideal forever family will have plenty of time to spend with him and also include at least one other friendly pup. If you’d like to make him a permanent member of your pack, apply for him at dfwpugs.com!

More about this rescue
DFW Pug Rescue Club, Inc., (DFWPRC) was incorporated in July 1997 as a non-stock, non-profit corporation for the rescue, care, and placement of unwanted, mistreated, or homeless pugs in Texas.
DFWPRC is the largest pug rescue organization in the United States and has rescued and placed thousands of huggable, squeezable, absolutely adorable pugs — we rescue 5-10 pugs a week.
We rescue ALL pugs regardless of age or medical condition. Since we rescue ALL pugs, our veterinary care is our biggest on-going expense and we average approximately $250,000 a year in veterinary expenses. This amount is after our veterinary care clinics provide deep discounts. 100% of all funds donated to DFW Pug Rescue are used to pay for Veterinary care.
All pugs rescued by DFWPRC are taken immediately to the vet where they are examined, tested (and treated) for heartworm, vaccinated, sterilized, microchipped and rabies shots administered before being placed in a foster or permanent home.
70% of the rescue pugs are heart worm positive and all are treated at DFWPRC’s expense.
DFWPRC is an all-volunteer non-profit organization and do not have a staging area to hold our rescue pugs so we depend on the generosity of our volunteers to provide foster homes until permanent homes can be located.
All pugs must be picked up in Dallas/Fort Worth area by their new families — no pugs are shipped. We adopt in the state of Texas and to the neighboring states of New Mexico, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana only.
The majority of our pugs are owner surrender due to military deployment, death, divorce, relocation, new baby, marriage, travel, and estate placements.
DFWPRC is not affiliated or sponsored by any national or local breed clubs.
We rescue more males than females (10 to 1), more fawns than blacks (40 to 1), and the average of our rescue pugs is 4-years old. The average life span of a pug is between 14 – 18 years.
We maintain a Certificate of Good Standing with the Texas State Comptroller’s Office. DFW Pug Rescue Club, Inc. is a non-profit corporation with Federal Tax Exemption as a public charity under Section 501 (c) 3 of the Internal Revenue Code.
