URGENT: Colorado Foster Home Needed for Two Pug Mixes

An urgent foster home is needed for a veteran’s beloved pug mix furbabies in and around Denver, CO until approximately September 2015. Male and female, approx. 30 lbs., around 3 yrs. old, neuter/spayed, current on shots, housed trained, leash trained, crate trained, and love to snuggle. The dogs are currently boarded but they sure would love to be in a caring and safe home. Though good with children and other animals, we would prefer a home without other animals for these furbabies as that is what they are used to. If interested and able to help these beloved furbabies, please visit the following link about fostering with us and to prepare/submit a “Potential Foster Home Submission” form (please show “CO PUGS” following your last name).
