Do a search in your area on petfinder:
http://search.petfinder.com/search/search.cgi
Try the "Kentuckiana Pug Rescue"
http://www.petfinder.com/shelters/KY218.html

There are so many dogs in need of a good home, please consider adopting a dog from a rescue organization, such as the one I listed above.

I have adopted both of my full-breed pugs from rescues. They are WONDERFUL dogs. You can go to the petfinder.com website and search for pugs in your area. Rescues generally charge around $300. Petfinder provides a link for all reputable shelters, rescues, etc.
I LOVE my two pugs and wouldn't trade them for the world, but I hope you understand that pugs are VERY expensive dogs to keep. They require a LOT of care. Most likely they will need eye surgery or they will go blind. That costs a minimum of $1500. They also get respiratory infections a LOT and each vet visit is about a hundred dollars.
Also, pugs shed a LOT. . . . ALL THE TIME. . . . . If you want a dog that won't leave hair EVERYWHERE, don't get a pug.
Also, pugs are VERY people oriented dogs. You can NOT leave them at home alone because they will become very lonely and destroy things. Lastly, please remember they are NOT outdoor dogs at ALL. In the summertime, they have to be kept in the air conditioning because they are VERY prone to heat stroke and can die VERY easily.
Pugs are WONDERFUL with children. When our first pug puppy was only about 7 months old, we had 12 Cub Scouts at our house. These 9 year olds just kept playing with her, but being young, they were pretty rough. She was just WONDERFUL with them. Never laid her ears back, just had a good time.
A wonderful place to learn all the good and bad things about pugs is pugvillage.com.
I hope this helps!
