A 10 year old Pug may only have a few years left in him, but those years will provide immeasurable love and eyes full of tenderness and knowledge. Not to mention, if you work full time, you can generally leave an older Pug home to sleep where as with a puppy, they need to be taken outside and fed more often. If you want a Pug, but can not fathom the idea of housebreaking a puppy or putting up with the antics of a puppy, please consider a rescue Pug. Most Vet offices and Pet stores and generally all animal shelters have complete list of rescue organizations. Some areas have very long waiting lists for rescue Pugs.
Pugs are rare in some places.
If you are in need of a vacation, consider traveling to a Pug populated area, such as the Dallas area, to adopt a new Pug friend. Some rescue groups will not fly a Pug nor let them go out of state, it is something you will need to look into. The Internet also has a listing of Pug rescue groups. Below, I have a listing of Rescue groups in States that I am aware of. This information can also be obtained through the Internet, or through Pug Talk Magazine which list rescue groups in every Magazine.
