My story

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

Meet Elwood! This handsome boy was found wandering the streets all alone. His finders tried to reconnect him with his previous family, but they didn’t want him back. Now he’s with us, safe and sound, and ready to find the forever home he’s always deserved.

Elwood is a sweet, sensitive soul. At 25 pounds, he’s a little taller than your average pug, but that just means there’s more of him to love! Don’t let his size fool you—he’s a softie at heart who can get nervous around too much commotion. While he does well with other dogs, he prefers the calm, laid-back type and would thrive in a quieter home where he can truly relax.

One thing Elwood can’t resist? Treats! He’s incredibly food-motivated and has already mastered sitting and giving paw. With his smarts and love of snacks, he’s eager to learn even more. His big, warm brown eyes will melt your heart as he gazes up at you, hoping for a little love (or maybe just another treat).

Elwood is a wonderful dog looking for someone who will give him the patience, love, and stability he’s been missing. If you think Elwood could be the perfect addition to your family, don’t wait—please inquire about him 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.
