Mac is a sweet, affectionate pug looking for humans who will choose him every time. Hes a child of divorce, and like many little ones whove been through big changes, he needs time and patience to feel secure again. Mac will thrive in a calm home (he's fine around kids, but we think he'd be happiest as the only child at this time), where he can spend his days curled up in your lap, carried in your arms, and following you everywhere. He needs adopters who will prioritize his training, help him understand routines, and steadily build up his confidence so he can finally relax into a life that feels safe and predictable. Hes working on his potty training, is completely indifferent to cats, stays aloof around other dogs, and hasnt yet discovered the joy of toys. If youre looking for a human-obsessed bundle of pure affection who just needs a little guidance and reassurance, Mac is your guy. Like many dogs, he has Medial Patellar Luxation (luxating patella) in one of his legs. This is a common orthopedic issue that can be managed with joint supplements and keeping his weight down; you'll want to monitor for any changes in his walking over the years. He's 18 pounds, neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. Mac is currently being fostered in Sacramento, CA.

After an application is received, we will reach out to schedule an interview. If the applicant is a renter, we will require landlord approval. If the applicant has a yard, we will require a digital walkthrough of the fence line. Once approved, the adopter is eligible to connect with the foster of the dog they're interested in for a meet and greet. If all goes well, the adopter can take the dog home!

Bay Area Pug Project (BAPP) is more than just a rescue - it’s a movement.
California suffers from a backyard breeding epidemic, and pugs are sadly one of the outputs. Pug rescues across the nation come to our state to save pugs from unsafe, unwanted, and undesirable situations, and there can never be enough help to tackle this crisis.
Founded by a group of experienced and passionate volunteers, BAPP was born from a shared love of pugs and a desire to build a strong, informed community around the breed. We believe that true rescue goes beyond saving dogs—it means educating the public, advocating for responsible ownership, and collaborating with other groups for maximum impact.
We’re dedicated to supporting brachycephalic breed enthusiasts and the communities where neglect or limited education are common, offering resources and guidance to promote better care and health outcomes.
Pugs are more than cute snorts and curly tails—they’re complex little souls who deserve to be understood and cared for by informed and pug-obsessed homes like ours. Join us in making a difference.
