Hi, my name is Sputnik, and I think it translates to “very active little pug boy!”
I’m 2-3 years old, and I love going on walks! I’m also really good in the car.
I’m good with older kids, but I have lots of energy, and may be too much for the younger kids. I love playing with other dogs, but the pugs in my foster home are older and really aren’t interested in playing all day.
I am kind of puppy like in a lot of ways. I want attention, but don’t really know yet how to receive it, for example, I still want to chew on your hand or just have my mouth on your hand. I still mark, so I am currently using a belly band to help me understand that it isn’t appropriate to pee in the house.
I really need a home that will give loving training and have patience with me. I don’t want to frustrate you, I want to please, but I just don’t always understand what you want me to do.
Foster mom says I am a very sweet boy. Don’t be fooled by those people who says pugs are “couch potatoes,” lol. That applies to older pugs! I want to be where the action is! If you want a companion to explore the world with, I could just be the one!
If you are interested in adoption, please fill out the adoption application below.
***We appreciate your interest in adopting a pug in need. Please respect our process and our time, as we are all volunteers with full time jobs. An application starts the process. We are not able to answer calls with questions about the foster pugs. ***
***We encourage you to come to our adoption events to meet the pugs in person if you are interested in adoption. Again, please do not call regarding the adoptable pugs. APARN is an all volunteer non-profit organization. We do not have a shelter. Our dogs are currently being fostered in private homes generally located throughout the greater Phoenix metro area.***
My adoption fee is $500
