Babushka (female)

Intake date: 10/8/2026

Pug/ Poodle mix

DOB 5/25/2026

Intake weight: 7.8 pounds

Adoption fee: $350, which includes vetting, microchip

Benefactor Dog: When we have a popular dog, we dub them a “Benefactor Dog”. A Benefactor Dog will have an above average adoption fee. In other words, for OTHER dogs where the adoption fee is minimal or waived due to age, health or some other reason (although we’ve likely spent hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars) a Benefactor dog will help us somewhat make up the shortfall. If this dog has an above-average adoption fee, she/he is a Benefactor Dog.

Good with other dogs: yes

Cats: yes

Vetting and other: altered (spayed), up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccinations, fecal negative, on monthly flea/tick and heartworm prevention, microchipped

Health issues: none observed.

Temperament: very sweet, social and friendly - may be a bit shy at first but that quickly dissipates! Precious girl!

Energy level: medium

Groom needs: medium maintenance; will require a professional groom from time to time we believe.

Biography: PLEASE keep in mind your AGE! Despite what you may want, we want YOU to outlive the pup… not the other way around! Puppies or young dogs (especially small-breed) can live 15-20 years!

We were reached out to by a man who is having health issues and can no longer care for his sibling Pug/ Poodle mix pups. Babushka does great in a kennel if needed and walks pretty well on a leash. She is beyond precious! Like her brother, she is playful and fun and squishy and adorable and and and... we can't say enough about either one! If you think you needed a Pug / Poodle in your life, we welcome your application!

PUPPY LOWDOWN – READ IT!:

COMMITMENT: Puppies are a 10-15 year commitment (sometimes longer). Please be sure you are prepared for the life of the puppy! Bear in mind your AGE! While life is never guaranteed, we want the odds to be that YOU outlive the puppy, not the other way around. In conclusion, if your puppy is in a responsible home that provides daily structure, training and socialization with people and other pets, your puppy will grow to be a well-adjusted and wonderful part of your family for many years to come.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

*We do adopt out of state provided the adopter is willing and able to travel to us once approved. We do not ship or transport our animals and there is no exception to this rule.

*Most of our adoptable dogs are small, and they are never to be left outside alone, ever! We only rehome our dogs to adopters that plan to have them as inside dogs and part of the family! We do allow adopters with doggie doors, provided there is SECURE fencing and the dog is over 15 pounds. There is no exception to this rule!

*PREDATORS: IF THIS DOG IS UNDER 10 POUNDS, the dog is to be monitored and protected when outside at all times! PREDATOR-THREAT IS A REAL DANGER! For example, a hawk tried to pick up a Chihuahua owned by a friend visiting Ninna’s house… RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE VISITOR. Thankfully the visitor was watching the dog and the hawk was wrestled off of the Chihuahua but it did require an ER visit and she is was very lucky to survive. TAKE IT SERIOUSLY!

*NO SMALL CHILDREN!! As with almost all the dogs at NR2R, young children or a very active household is not recommended. Many of our dogs come to us BECAUSE of small children, thus we do not rehome our dogs to homes with babies or young children. KEEP THIS IN MIND IF YOU HAVE VISITING GRANDCHILDREN AS WELL! Even if the children are older, it would depe
