Meet Homer, a sweet lovebug with an adorable tongue!

Homer is a healthy ten-year-old pug, and came to Pug Rescue from the shelter as a stray. He had a tag with owner information, but all attempts to contact his owner were in vain.

Homer knows how to use a doggy door, and is friendly with children and other dogs. His foster mom says he loves to snuggle, sleep, go for walks and just be loved! We know if you meet Homer, you will fall in love with him!

Chiquita, a former Pug Rescue of San Diego County foster was adopted by Lynnell and Rick Troyer. She recently passed away. Here is Chiquita's story: Chiquita began her life in a puppy mill in Tijuana where she was used strictly for breeding. Upon finding out that she was no longer healthy enough to have puppies; she was relinquished into the hands of Pug Rescue of San Diego. Being the petite, adorable little girl she was, it was not hard to find a family to quickly foster her and that was the Troyer family. Though foster parents normally find suitable forever homes for their foster pugs; Lynnell Troyer bonded with Chiquita in such a way that she could not possibly let her go and adopted Chiquita herself. Chiquita was truly a joy and a blessing to the Troyer household. She was unbelievably sweet, absolutely adorable, and like any girl had a sassy princess attitude. She was Lynnell’s pride and joy. They spent every moment of every day together, they were truly best friends. Chiquita accompanied Lynnell to work every day, and slept in the bed with Lynnell and Rick Troyer every night.

From the beginning of her life, Chiquita was not a healthy little girl. She had a crushed larynx and collapsing trachea making breathing for her extremely difficult. Along with those issues she also had epilepsy which she was treated for at the hands of Lynnell Troyer and Cuyamaca Animal Hospital. There was no denying that Chiquita was loved and cared for in every way. She had a spunky personality and loved to play with her toys. She loved treats (just like all pugs!) and brought a smile to everyone who came in contact with her. She was a small girl causing people to think she was a puppy her entire life. There are not enough words to describe the impact that Chiquita had on the Troyer family. But most importantly on her mommy Lynnell.

Due to rapidly failing health, Chiquita passed away suddenly on November 28th, 2011. It was a truly sorrowful day and she will be forever loved and missed. She brought so much joy into the lives of those she touched and will always be remembered for the precious girl that she was.
