January 31, 2014 – Koukou is gone to his forever home…he will share his life with a SHih Tzu sister.

January 11, 2014 – Koukou had his teeth cleaned yesterday, he had only 2 removed and the rest were polished. Koukou has a mild ear infection that we are treating with Surolan – he will remain on Optimune for his eyes as he has dry eyes. Koukou is now 30lbs and he’s eating a grain-free fish based diet as he seems to be having a bit of food allergy. Koukou is a real gentleman and he is now ready to be adopted. Please contact us if you are interested in adopting Koukou.

January 7, 2014 – Koukou is doing very well and is losing weight nicely. He’s getting his teeth cleaned on January 10 and will then become available for adoption. Koukou is on a fish-based grain-free formula and he is doing very well on that diet. Stay tuned for more on Koukou later this week.

December 30, 2013 – Koukou is doing great! He had a nice Christmas surrounded by family both 2 legs and 4 legs. He got some stuffed squeaky toys that he loves 🙂
He’s a real sweetie who gets along well with everyone. He plays and get along well with other dogs.
Koukou’s skin is looking so much better now. He loves his food and will let out little squeaks and jump around when feeding time. He’s been sleeping in crate at night and will go in now on his own when it’s bed time. He loves blankets and will suckle carrying it around with him so cute to see. Koukou enjoys his walks but not for long with this cold weather he will let you know when it’s time to go back home ..for most part he’s been doing his business in the yard.

December 17, 2013 – Koukou is just an all around easy going boy. He’s a real sweetie who loves to sit at your feet and get some belly rubs. Loves to play with stuffed toys for bit then suckles his blanket which he carries around with him everywhere. With these frigid temperatures, Koukou hasn’t been going out for walks, for now he enjoys doing his business in the backyard. Breakfast/dinner time is his favorite time he will jump around and make cute whimpering noises as if to say “come on your taking too long where’s my food”. Koukou is very gentle in nature and not dominant at all, even when the resident pug goes over to his bowl for licks he’s fine with it. Koukou is on a grain-free formula of rabbit & whitefish and he is losing more weight, so someone who will keep up with this would be great. We are also adding herring oil on his kibbles daily to keep his skin nice and soft. Koukou loves his daily brushing sessions and he will sit right down for it. He does require eye drops twice daily as he has “dry eyes”. Koukou is very respectful of our the resident cat and dog so would do well in a home with or without other animals. He’s getting his teeth cleaned on Jan 10 and and he will then become available for adoption.

December 5, 2013 – Koukou is doing really well and adjusting to our routine. He’s a sweet big boy with lots of love to give. At first, he didn’t know how to go up and down stairs…then when he figured it out we couldn’t get him to stop hopping up and down them. He’ll lose those extra pounds in no time. He enjoys his daily walks and does well on leash. Koukou does like to play but not much, he would prefer to just sit by your feet and get lots of rubs and kisses. He loves all the attention and will follow you around most the time. Gets along great will all dogs and cats too!! Koukou is going to the vet tomorrow for a complete check up and he is scheduled to get his teeth cleaned on January 10.

December 1, 2013 – Koukou came in today from Mississauga. He’s an owner surrender and he weights 35.4lbs. Koukou is a sweetheart and is very kind with kids and dogs. He seems to LOVE to go for walks so it won’t be long before we bring him to a healthy weight. Koukou is neutered and will be getting his teeth cleaned in the coming weeks.

October 21, 2013 – Dannie is doing wonderful and healing nicely from her spaying. She is full of personality and character. Just such a sweet and funny puppy who loves to play and wants all your attention. She’s doing well on her walks and learning to walk beside us and not in front. Dannie makes us laugh every day and just loves to wear little sweaters and jackets and prance around the house. She is a real charmer with a beautiful face that nobody can resist kissing. Dannie did well at Brewer Park Farmers Market yesterday meeting people of all ages even some young ones, she was full of puppy kisses. Dannie requires some training still as she’s a puppy, so will need to go to home where they will work on her manner’s and socialize her daily.

February 11, 2014 – Imagine being able to provide and care for this handsome senior gentleman; hopefully alongside his sister Jill, as they have never been separated. Imagine providing a warm, loving environment for these two that want only to please and love you more than they love themselves. UMWPR knew that when we agreed to take in and care for Jake and Jill that it may take awhile to find the perfect loving home that is able to care for two senior dogs. Jake and Jill may be aged, but are as happy and healthy as they come. They have both received clean bills of health, are relatively active for their age, have great clear eyes, and can keep up with you more than you think. Don’t be afraid of the seniors, they make for amazing companions – and cuddlers! If you think that you are able to provide Jake (and hopefully his sister Jill) a beloved home, or know someone who may be interested, please contact us HERE.

January 17, 2014 – Jake and Jill are doing great! They are sweet, gentle pugs. They are not barkers and even in the chaos of feeding time, they both sit quietly waiting for their food. Jake is the more laid back and quiet of the two. He loves nothing more than to curl up in his donut bed which sits nearby on the sofa. Jill prefers to stay right beside one of us. If we need to get up for any reason, she is right there with us. When we are not around, Jill tends to either climb into the donut bed with Jake, or she will lay on the edge of it. Jill is able to climb some stairs, but she would rather not. Jake on the other hand has no problem doing so. In the morning, Jake likes to follow me upstairs and sit at my feet while I get ready. He has the most gorgeous teddy bear face! You just want to squeeze him. Jill is a beautiful little girl who constantly watches us with her big bright eyes. They love to receive any attention you can provide and they are not afraid to ask for it either by putting their paws on you as if to say “Please give me some loving!”. They are a wonderful pair of seniors who are no trouble and are in great health. Please contact us if you are interested in adopting these 2 beautiful pugs.

November 18, 2013 – Please look at the beautiful faces of this bonded pair and consider providing them with their ultimate forever home. Jake and Jill are a docile pair who thoroughly take pleasure in all the cuddles and attention that they have been receiving since coming into the rescue. To no fault of their own, they look only for a place to be together until their final days. Jake and Jill are still full of much energy and joy and will add enchantment to any home. This pair could still stand to lose a couple of pounds and this should be no issue with constant walking and exercise. Should you be looking to add to your four-legged family or even start a new one, you will not be let down bringing this pair into your life. If you are interested in meeting Jake and Jill or know someone who may be able to love them forever.

November 6, 2013 – Jake & Jill are doing extremely well. They have settled into their new routine and accidents in the house are now few and far between. They are both easy going pugs but have no problem letting you know that they need some cuddle time. Jack is a real talker when he needs you. He will sit at the gate at the bottom of the stairs and let you know that he needs to come back down to him. Jill on the other hand is only vocal when exerting herself. She is so funny when going on walks or climbing the stairs to the second floor. They are such sweet pugs. We love having them around. They have lots of love to give. The other night they were actually play fighting with each other. It was so nice to see!

October 21, 2013 – Jake is such a sweet pug. His beautiful smile and kind nature will melt anyone’s heart. Jake LOVES the attention and is always looking for a hand to pet him. Jake would make an amazing companion to someone who is looking for a big teddy bear to cuddle with. Despite his age, Jake loves to go for walks and enjoyed lying in the sun at Brewer Park Farmers Market yesterday. He gets along very well with every dog. Please consider adopting this sweet boy, you won’t regret it.

October 10, 2013 – Jake had his teeth cleaned and he lost 2. Jake had a little lump near his right front paw but the vet said it is benign so he didn’t remove it. Jake has a mild ear infection so he will be going back home with Surolan. He’s also going back home with Metacam (pain killer) and Noroclav (antibiotics). If you are interested in opening your heart and home to this beautiful soul, please contact us HERE. A special adoption rate could be given for someone interested in adopting Jake & Jill together.

October 6, 2013 – This charmer arrived in with his sister yesterday afternoon and had a full afternoon of charming audiences at our Pet Valu info day. Weighing in at a hefty 25 lbs., Jake has been immediately put on a reduced intake diet and will start to walk off those pounds with this foster mom and sister. Jake is definitely a people pug, pawing my arm off as I type trying to get more loves. A perfect cuddler, fitting snuggly into the crook of your arm, Jake is surprisingly spry for his weight, although a little hesitant of the stairs at first. He is adapting to his new surroundings and is quite content to laze his day away lounging, in true pug style. Although currently separated, UMWPR would be thrilled to have Jake adopted along with his sister Jill, so that they may continue to live their lives together. Jake will visit the vet soon for a checkup and possible dental work. Stay tuned as we learn more about Jake.

October 5, 2013 – Please help us welcome our newest brother and sister addition, Jake and Jill. Due to their owner’s circumstance, this pair has been lovingly surrendered to us in order to find them their new forever home. Jake & Jill have lived their entire lives together and we will do our best to keep them together. Jake & Jill are both 11 years old and are in need of a new exercise and feeding regime that will whip them back into shape. Their ideal forever home(s) will walk them daily to help shed those extra pounds and will continue to love and spoil them as they are accustomed to being loved. Check back for updates on these two as we learn more about them through their foster families.

September 12, 2013 – Eddy has been doing great over the last week and his personality is really starting to shine through! He loves chasing flies, he can amuse himself for quite awhile. We also found he loves to be under blankets, either to play or snooze. He has started to socialize more with the resident pugs, even caught him playing tug of war the other day! Eddy still is a little cuddle muffin and likes to stay close to his humans. He is very happy to meet any new humans, wagging his tail and sucking them in with his beautiful eyes; they have no choice but to bend down and give him a pat. Please consider adopting Eddy you will not regret it! Please contact us HERE to get an adoption application.

September 5, 2013 – Eddy recently visited the vet for his checkup and was found to be in perfect shape. We are currently assessing Eddy’s interactions with other dogs and he will soon be ready for adoption. Stay tuned for more news on Eddy in the coming weeks.

September 3, 2013 – Eddy is such a sweet, mild mannered little guy. He certainly likes human attention, he cannot get enough. You can cuddle and squeeze him and he won’t try to get away, just cuddles in tighter to you. His little compact body makes it easy to be a lap pup and to pick him up and give huge cuddles. He sleeps in a kennel by the bed at night and you don’t hear a peep out of him. He is a very slow eater, so we feed him in another room so the resident pugs don’t get his food. Eddy has started playing with stuffed toys and he is so funny, growls and carries on like a tough guy and when done he drops the toy and has a nap. So far he doesn’t seem interested in playing with the resident pugs, he seems to be much more intrigued by humans. If you are ready to adopt a little cuddle muffin, he is the one!

August 30, 2013 – Eddy is an owner surrender. He’s about 18lbs and is neutered. Eddy is very friendly with other dogs and everyone he meets. Eddy will be going to the vet on Tuesday September 3 for a complete check up and to be brought up to date in his vaccination. He will be vailable for adoption shortly after that.

August 27, 2013 – Oscar has been adopted by his foster mom. He’s living a good life in the country with a female pug and a female bug.

August 25, 2013 – Oscar is a little sweetie. Since being neutered recently, he has had to be kept relatively inactive, which is just not his nature. He is very anxious to play with his foster sister. Oscar is crate trained and goes into “bed” willingly. He loves his toys, especially the squeaky skunk! Oscar doesn’t seem to be used to sitting on someone’s lap and it takes some scratching of ears and neck to get him to relax. We have had a couple of “accidents” and I think it is more a case of not being fully housetrained then marking and we’re working on that, as well as on basic commands. We have taken a few short walks around the block with my two dogs and he walks very well on a leash, just a slight pulling once in a while, but he will be easy to train. He interacts well with my dogs and he is not aggressive in any way. He is a very quiet little guy and loves to follow me around. Oscar should make anyone a wonderful pet. Please contact us HERE if you are interested in adopting Oscar.

August 23, 2013 – Oscar came in this afternoon. He was used to spend 12 hours a day in a crate. Due to the lack of time, his owner surrendered him.
Oscar is about 22lbs and he’s a very active boy.
He’s just been neutered and he’s vaccinated and microchipped. Oscar will get his stitches removed on September 4.
Oscar has beautiful light brown eyes. If you are looking for an active boy, please consider adopting Oscar.
