My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Heather!

Breed: Pug
DOB: 8/9/2025
Weight: 5 lbs
Health: She has one eye. Healthy, vaccinated, and full of puppy energy — but even though Heather is healthy, it’s always best to schedule a visit with your own veterinarian soon after adoption to establish care and ensure she’s thriving.


Personality

Heather is a tiny ball of joy wrapped in soft wrinkles and endless enthusiasm! She’s playful, curious, and loves to make everyone smile. Whether she’s chasing her favorite toy, learning new tricks, or curling up for snuggles, Heather fills every moment with happiness and love. Her cheerful, loving nature makes her the kind of companion that brightens even the cloudiest day.


Breed Info

Pugs are known for their affectionate and clownish personalities. They are people-oriented dogs who love attention, companionship, and being part of every family activity. Despite their small size, Pugs have big hearts and even bigger personalities! They thrive on love and do best in homes where they aren’t left alone for long stretches of time.


Owner Responsibilities

Bringing a puppy like Heather into your home means embracing the full responsibility of raising and loving her for life. She’ll need:

  • Patience and consistency for potty training, socializing, and learning boundaries.

  • Regular vet visits for wellness checks, vaccinations, and preventive care.

  • Daily structure for feeding, playtime, and rest.

  • Positive reinforcement and gentle correction as she learns.

  • A safe environment — Pugs can be sensitive to heat and need indoor comfort.


Things to Consider

Before adopting Heather, take time to honestly reflect on your lifestyle and readiness.

  • Do you have time each day for walks, play, and training?

  • Is your housing or landlord pet-friendly?

  • Are you planning to move or travel frequently?

  • Puppies can bark, chew, and test boundaries — are you ready for puppy stages?

  • Can you commit to vet care, food, grooming, and love for her lifetime?

  • Are you emotionally ready for the responsibility and joy of a long-term family member?

Adopting a puppy is a big, beautiful commitment — not a temporary one.


The 3-3-3 Rule

The first 3 days are for decompressing — everything is new, so give her gentle space, comfort, and calm.
The first 3 weeks are when she’ll start learning your routine, your home, and your heart.
The first 3 months are when trust blossoms, and she’ll know she’s finally home.


❤️ Commitment for Life

Heather isn’t just a pet — she’s family. She’ll rely on you for safety, care, and unconditional love every day of her life. In return, she’ll give you joy, loyalty, and companionship beyond measure.


Why Heather Would Be a Great Addition

Heather is the perfect mix of sweetness and playfulness — small enough to snuggle in your lap, but full of enough spirit to make every day brighter. She’ll grow up beside you, learning, loving, and filling your world with laughter and affection. Adopting Heather means saying yes to a lifetime of smiles, paw prints, and love that never fades.

More about this rescue

We are dedicated to saving dogs from high kill shelters, strays, owner surrenders and hoarders. We have been saving animals since December 2016. We hold weekly adoption events at various pet stores and pet expos. We hire dog walkers to walk our dogs and we have volunteers who help us weekly. Many of our dogs go to boarding and training to become adoptable and work on their behavioral issues. All our dogs are assessed to find a great family match.

All dogs receive all necessary medical attention and all dogs are vetted.
