My story

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

Meet Chauncey – A Sweet, Soulful Puggle Looking for a Soft Place to Land

Chauncey is an 8-year-old Puggle (pug/beagle mix) weighing about 25 lbs, and he’s as charming and lovable as they come. With his expressive eyes, gentle demeanor, and love of cuddling, Chauncey is the kind of dog who quietly steals your heart.

Chauncey is temporarily homeless through no fault of his own. His owner is currently hospitalized and may not be able to return home, leaving Chauncey in need of a new family to care for him. Despite the upheaval, he remains sweet, affectionate, and eager for connection.

He is neutered and house trained, though after spending several months largely alone with only a doggy door and a neighbor stopping by once a day, he may need some gentle reminders and routine as he settles back into home life. He’s healthy overall, just overdue for a nail trim.

Chauncey is dog-friendly, playful in a low-key way, and truly thrives on companionship. He loves being near his people, soaking up affection, and enjoying cozy time on the couch. He’s described as cuddly, loving, and very people-oriented.

His experience with cats and young children is unknown, so any introductions should be slow and thoughtful. Given his gentle nature, he may do well with respectful kids, but we’d want to be mindful and set him up for success.

Chauncey doesn’t need much — just consistency, kindness, and a home where he’s no longer alone. If you’re looking for a small, affectionate companion who wants nothing more than love and security, Chauncey could be the perfect match.
