Pele is a wonderful one-year-old pug looking for a place to call home. Hes social, playful, and does great with small dogs. Hes still learning how to interact with larger dogs and is very curious about them. With a calm, non-reactive big dog, he should do just fine. He will bark at cats, likely because he hasnt had much exposure to them yet. Pele loves to cuddle and prefers to sleep curled up against your chest. True to his pug roots, hes a loyal little shadow who wants to be wherever you are. Hes learned to use the doggy door and is doing well with potty training, especially with regular trips outside and gentle reminders. This guy adores his bones and toys and proudly carries them all over the house while he plays. Since hes still a puppy, an occasional slipper or shoe might sneak into his treasure pile too. Pele is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. Hed love an active home with another friendly dog to play with and a family ready to enjoy his playful, affectionate personality.

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.
