Part of the Puppy Place Series. Lizzie works at her aunts doggie day care. A very energetic pug runs the risk of being given to the local humane society if his behavior does not improve. Lizzie tries taking Pugsley on as a foster dog to see what she can do to help his behavior.
1st graders seem to love these.

I love that these show kids the importance of raising dogs, fostering and finding good homes for every dog and that not all dogs are the same.

Lizzie and her younger brother, Charles, are in elementary school. They have a puppy named Buddy plus foster dogs and help them find homes.
Lizzie loves dogs and volunteers at an animal rescue. She is very excited when her aunt and uncle move to their town and open a doggy daycare, where she helps out. There are lots of dogs, big and small, young and old. Pugsley is a rambunctious pug puppy (aka Mr. Pest) who attends the daycare. He is cute but a handful and his owners eventually decide to give him up to the rescue. Knowing how overcrowded the rescue is, Lizzie offers to foster Pugsley and find him a home, which she discovers is probably going to be an impossible task.
Though this book is a quick read and directed at elementary-aged children, I found it entertaining. There is a learning experience and a puppy tip at the end. It is written in third person perspective and first person from the dogs' points of view. It is the ninth in the Puppy Place series, which currently has 64 books in the series, and works as a stand alone.

This was just adorable, I love pugs very much(they are my favorite dogs), and I love reading about fostering puppies, especially Pugsly. He gets into lots of trouble but everyone around him loves his joy. I wish I could be the one who had adopted him!

I did like this book I have never read the puppy place books before and I did really like it! I am going to read the book Maggie and Maxine of the other books from the series. I give this book a 3/5.

Great story for kids and grandkids to teach them about the love and work involved with training a puppy. It might help them understand why you say no they cannot have a pet at this time. Puppies without training can be mischievous and get into trouble. This story shows that.

I remember crying after reading this.

A fun series for dog lovers!

My 9 year old gave this 5 stars and said its a favorite!

Pugsley is very very naughty.

Another cute story.

Pugsley has got to be the cutest puppy around. The more I read this book, the more I smiled thinking of all the messes this puppy got into. How enjoyable! Kids who love dogs will latch right onto this one!
I wish the human characters were a little more real. While I enjoyed Lizzie's family a great deal, the doggie daycare just was a little too much to take seriously. While I know such places exist for dogs whose owners are at work all day, the idea of them having parties and crafts and all the rest is just too silly to believe. And campouts with other people's dogs? *shakes head* OK, but the idea is cute and the story is meant for kids, so it can't be taken too seriously.
And besides. Pugsley was really cute. -
Okay, so it's not great literature, but I liked it. Just goes to show that interest and background knowledge make all the difference. This book kinda makes me want to quit teaching and start up a doggie daycare, or at the very least, go out and buy another pug! I wonder what Sydney would think of that?

Pugsley is a great book it's about a girl named Lizzie that finds a pug named Pugsley at her Aunt Amanda's puppy day care.
Character Trait- Worried because she thinks she won't be able to go to Camp Bowser.
I think the most important event is when she went to Camp Bowser and Pugsley's behavior improved.
I recommend this book for anyone who likes puppies. -
This is the second of this series I've read to my daughter. Such cute books and I even enjoy them myself! The series is about a family who fosters dogs who need homes but need a bit of help in training etc before a good home is found. This little Pug will melt your heart, such a little naughty thing its hard to believe he was trainable. The new "forever home" was a pleasant surprise!

This was an AWESOME book!!! I liked this book because there was a VERY cute puppy named pugsley (shown on cover) And a girl named Lizzie and her family is a foster family for dogs. pugsley is small and cute:) but is a trouble maker. this was a long soothing book with laughs,cuties,etc.
