With the rescue that has the dog. Today the Pugs on this page are with Aireworth Dogs in Need (1) and Helping Yorkshire Poundies (1). Open a profile and apply to that rescue: each one runs its own application, home check and adoption fee. We don't rehome animals ourselves.

Breathing is a recognised concern in the breed. The Royal Kennel Club asks Pug breeders to have their dogs' breathing graded for BOAS (brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome), and says the flat face limits a Pug's tolerance for heat and hard exercise. PDSA says snorts, snores and loud breathing can be a sign of BOAS and are worth a word with a vet. Ask the rescue what vet checks this dog has had.

Not for long. The Royal Kennel Club says Pugs dislike being left alone for long periods and can be prone to separation anxiety, and PDSA says a Pug should never be left for longer than four hours. Ask the rescue how this dog copes on its own.

It depends on the dog, not the breed. Most of the 2 Pugs listed in and around Wakefield today don't say either way, so ask the rescue. Where a profile says nothing, ask the rescue what age of children the dog could live with.
