My story

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

Pugsley is a 1-year-old handsome boy on a journey to build his confidence and find his forever home. With his intelligence and sweet nature, he’s sure to flourish with the right guidance and support. Pugsley feels most secure with his two brothers around but is adaptable with other canine companions. His bond with other dogs provides him the comfort he needs. He’s initially terrified of new environments, but with patience, he’s shown remarkable progress. Pugsley has mastered basic commands like 'sit' and making eye contact when his name is called, earning a blue ribbon for his efforts. He also nailed 'down' in just one session, and 'shake' is next on the list! While somewhat scared of cats, supervised introductions can help ease his anxieties. Pugsley and his brothers were surrendered due to being part of an accidental litter, lacking in early socialization. A patient owner with a stable routine would be essential for his development. Once Pugsley bonds with you, he’s incredibly loyal and stays by your side. He’s highly intelligent and ready to learn, making progress with each training session. He’s in need of a nurturing environment where someone can be his 'calm in the chaos,' providing guidance to help him see that the world isn’t as scary as it seems. Pugsley would thrive in a home with another friendly dog to boost his confidence and a patient owner committed to ongoing training and socialization. A calm, loving environment will help him continue to grow into a strong, confident dog. If you’re seeking a smart and loyal companion who will stick by your side, Pugsley is eager to meet you. Offer him a stable home where he can learn and grow, and experience the reward of watching him blossom into the wonderful dog he’s meant to be. Come meet Pugsley and be the 'calm in the chaos' he needs!
