Adopting a Pug
Warning: Pugs can be addictive!
I have rarely met a person who could stop with just one pug. Their loving natures make them a rewarding breed because they make such loyal members of your family.
Puppies are $2200. There is a $200 deposit required to be added to the waiting list and a $300 deposit when your puppy is born. A total deposit of $500 is due by the time the puppy is chosen. The remaining balance of $1700 is due at pickup. I accept cash, personal check, Venmo, PayPal or credit card.
Your puppy is marked with a collar and you will receive pictures each week as they grow. They will be vet checked and have their first set of shots before they go home. They come with AKC paperwork as their birth certificates.

We are hoping for litters from Rosie and Coco around the second week of April. I will confirm those litters in March. The families on our waiting list will have first choice of our puppies. Please sign up for the email announcements on the contact us page to be notified about our litters. Have a great day!
Sunny had a difficult delivery on Monday, February 23rd, 2026. I actually thought we might have to make a midnight trip to the emergency vet. Thankfully, Sunny pushed through it and delivered 2 healthy puppies, one boy and one girl. Due to the difficulty of the labor, though, this will be her last litter. These babies will go to the vet on Apr 5th and and home on April 2oth, 2026.

Our girls take every fourth heat cycle off to rest and recoup their energy so the number next to their name tells you which litter they are on before their season off. Please take that into consideration when choosing a mom since she could have a year off between litters.
We are expecting litters from these couples to be born around... (although these are not set in stone since nature is on it's own timetable!)

We have a waiting list for guaranteed adoptions. There is a $200 nonrefundable deposit to get on the list and that money will go towards the total price of the puppy. There is a $300 deposit when your puppy is born. The remaining balance of $2000 is due at pickup at 8 weeks old. The total adoption fee is $2500. Please understand that there can be a six month to year long wait for a puppy since they cannot be ordered on demand but each is a special gift. Any puppies not adopted from the waiting list will be offered to the subscribers of our email announcement and posted available for adoption on the website. I reserve the right to keep any puppy from any litter.

AKC Marketplace
or Good Dog to find reputable breeders. Please beware of scammers! There are many of them out there. A reputable breeder will be happy to talk to you and answer any questions that you have. They may not always have puppies available.
If you are looking to adopt an adult pug, please contact me and I will add you to our waiting list. Our adult pugs retire at 6 to 7 years old so that they can enjoy a long time with a new family. Sometimes we have a younger adult looking for a new home because they aren't a good fit with our breeding program. Our mission is to raise healthy pugs first and foremost and to give our pugs all the care and love they need. Sometimes, pugs just aren't cut out to be moms and there is nothing wrong with that, it is just not the right calling for them. I wish we could keep them all but that is not possible and give everyone the time and attention they deserve. The adult adoption fee is $1000.
