pugs dont come into rescue very often , but we have had 3 in the last year. i fostered 2 last year. your friend could go on dogpages most of us rescues post our dogs on there and there is also a homes offered section. if she does get a pug tell her to takeout a very good insurance policy and be prepared for huge vet bills. sadly pugs are a walking vet bill. or a vets dream. they have so many medical issues. eyes are a big problem, the girl i fostered had lost one already and she was only 2 it doesnt take much to damage them and they also have this horrid snorting sound, and they do a reverse sneeze very odd. i really couldnt believe how much noise they make.there is also something wrong with there palettes, most have to have corrective surgery. i had them in the summer so i could only take them out very early or late at night as they struggle with the heat. my dogs cope fine with it but those 2 sure did struggle. i also wanted a pug but i have to say having fostered those two i am now totaly put off. they were lovely dogs dont get me wrong , but i could see what us humans have done to a very ancient breed and it is not good. if she is set on a pug tell her to research the breed very carefully and be sure she can take the heartbreak that is sure to follow.
