Why You’ll Love Pugsley:

  • A total goofball who keeps everyone laughing

  • Food-motivated and quick to learn new commands

  • Friendly with people, dogs, and even cats

  • Loyal and affectionate – loves to cuddle and give kisses

  • Playful and full of puppy charm

About Pugsley’s Breed:
As a Black Lab mix, Pugsley brings all the classic traits labs are loved for—intelligence, loyalty, and a fun-loving spirit. Labs are known for their affectionate nature and eagerness to please, making them wonderful family companions. Pugsley already shows these qualities, along with a silly streak that makes him extra endearing.

Pugsley’s Story & Personality:
This sweet boy has had a small bump in the road with past skin issues, but he’s healthy now and his nose is healing beautifully. He’s potty trained, close to being crate trained, and sleeps through the night without accidents. Pugsley is all puppy—playful, bouncy, curious, and affectionate, but he is a much more docile puppy when it comes to his play behavior. He loves playing with other dogs, and even dishes out kisses to his canine friends.

Training is already underway: he can sit, loves treats, and will thrive with continued consistency and patience. With his short attention span, positive reinforcement will be the key. He’s goofy, fun-loving, and loyal—a pup who will grow into a wonderful lifelong companion.

Pugsley’s Ideal Home:

  • An active family or individual ready to for daily walks

  • Someone committed to puppy training and structure

  • A home with a fenced yard or willingness to provide plenty of exercise

  • Children or other dogs who he can play and grow with

  • A patient, loving family who can guide him as he grows

Ready to Welcome This Goofy Lovebug?
Pugsley is more than ready to bring endless laughs, cuddles, and puppy kisses into his forever home. If you’re looking for a loyal, fun companion to grow with your family, Pugsley is the one.
