Story
Meet Bravo! This ridiculously adorable pug came to us from Oakland Animal Services after being found as a stray. We estimate hes about 4 years old, and hes just as sweet as he looks. His foster lovingly calls him Teddy, like the teddy bear that he is, and more than anything, he wants to be loved and cuddled by his people. He adores head scratches and neck rubs and will gently place a paw on you if you stop, just to ask for a little more. A classic velcro pug, he happily follows his person from room to room and has no concept of personal space. He does well with other dogs and kids, but his favorite place is right next to his person. The unfortunate news is that Bravo has a medical condition affecting his spine; he was born with a collapsed disc, which causes some weakness in his back legs and isnt something that can be surgically corrected. He also has some inflammation and early arthritis in his left knee. What does that mean for daily life? Bravo will need anti-inflammatory medication long term, and his activity should be limited to things like wandering around the yard, short walks, or relaxing rides in a stroller. In homes with stairs, hell need to be carried and use ramps to help protect his back. He may benefit from supportive therapies like acupuncture, injections to manage pain, and physical therapy, and his activity will need to stay on the lighter side. The good news is that Bravo is perfectly happy living a slower-paced life. His favorite thing is simply being close to his people and soaking up all the love and attention he can get. Hell thrive with a special adopter who sees how wonderful he is and is ready to give him the support and care he needs throughout his life. Bravo is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and currently being fostered in the North Bay.

Story
Meet Wiggles! If youre looking for a cuddly, playful pug mix puppy, Wiggles is ready to wiggle his way right into your heart. This adorable little guy came to us from a shelter after he was found as a stray and is estimated to be about 46 months old. Were not exactly sure what hes mixed with, but whatever it is its ridiculously cute. Wiggles is a sweet, snuggly pup who loves snacks, chin scratches, and being the center of attention. Hes good with other dogs and cat-friendly, too. He can be a little shy outside and with new people at first, but he warms up quickly once he feels comfortable. While he hasnt met kids yet, were confident hell adore them. He loves to shower people with puppy kisses and nibbles! Like many puppies, Wiggles has a bit of separation anxiety right now, but with patience, boundaries, and confidence-building, hell continue to blossom. Hes working on his potty training and is getting better every day! Hes currently being fostered in Dublin, CA and cant wait to find his forever family. He'll be neutered April 6.

Story
Meet Jeffrey (or as his foster parents call him, Jeffy)! Are you looking for a new best bud? A professional cuddle pal? Your go-to guy? Your short-walk-on-the-beach companion? Your tiny, snorting shadow? Well, have we got the gentleman for you. Jeffy is about five years old and came to us as an owner surrender along with two other pugs after their owner fell on hard times and could no longer care for them. When our friends at @pughotel took them in for us, all three were in pretty rough shape. But after plenty of baths, flea treatment, and lots of TLC, theyre already looking so much better. Jeffy is currently being fostered with a pit bull, another pug, and a cat and he truly could not care less about any of them. His real dream is to be carried around like a baby by you. You may want to start strengthening your back (or invest in a baby carrier) if you plan to keep this funny little guy happy. Once he settles in and learns the lay of the land, Jeffy will happily be your companion in everything you do. His favorite activities include gazing lovingly at you, following you from room to room, accepting treats for being a very good boy, and being held like a baby while you watch TV. Hes currently working on his potty and crate training and will need a patient adopter who understands that his whole world was recently turned upside down. Jeffy deserves a loving home thats willing to give him time, consistency, and kindness as he adjusts. Jeffy is being fostered in Sacramento and is neutered and got a dental cleaning on Monday, March 23. He is now vaccinated and microchipped, so he's all set for his next chapter.

Story
Have you heard the phrase, a face only a mother could love? Well, let us introduce you to the inspiration for it. Meet Guppy! This little guy may not have won the genetics lottery, but what he lacks in looks he makes up for in charm. He could be a pug mix, he could not be. Perhaps bulldog? Only a DNA test will reveal the truth. Do we really know his age? Could he be 2 or 7, who is to say? He was born without his right eye, has a uniquely shaped head, a major underbite, and an endearing wobbly walk. He came to us from the California Central Valley with a few other pugs after his owner went into a nursing home without a care plan. Guppy is looking for a home where he can chew on toys, lounge the day away, and follow his person like a shadow. Hes crate-trained, and while hes still working on potty training, a consistent routine will help him get back on track after being shuffled around these last few weeks. He's good with confident cats and dogs of all sizes, but we suspect he would be happy as an only-dog, too. If youre searching for a quirky, one-of-a-kind companion, Guppy just might be the pug for you! He's being fostered in Rohnert Park through The Pug Hotel.

Story
Meet Vicente! Vicente is a 4-year-old sweetheart with a big personality and an even bigger heart. Hes wonderful with other dogs and kids, and truly thrives in social environments. Whether hes making new friends or soaking up attention, Vicente is happiest when hes around his people. This affectionate boy loves to run and play at the park, followed by cozy time to recharge. Hes learning how to channel his excitement, working on boundaries, calm interactions, and settling after playtime. Hes eager to please and making great progress every day. Vicente is also working on his manners at home. Hes improving with leash walking (he may pull when excited) and is generally very quiet, only letting out the cutest little whines now and then. Hes making strides with potty training too. While he doesnt always go outside yet, hes been reliably using pee pads indoors, likely adjusting from a previous outdoor lifestyle. He would benefit from losing about 5 pounds to feel his best and breathe more comfortably, and hes well on his way with the right routine. Vicente came to us as an owner surrender and has been such a joy in foster care. Hes neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and currently being fostered in Berkeley, CA. If youre looking for a happy, loving companion who will greet you with joy every single day, Vicente might just be your perfect match.

Story
Meet Bailey! Bailey is a darling little Frug, a French Bulldog and Pug mix. Shes a strong and sassy girl, as expected with that mix. We estimate she is around 1 to 2 years old, and she likely had a litter of puppies in her past, but now it is her turn to be the baby. She is a slightly bigger girl at 22 lbs, so she will not be flying in cabin, but she is more than happy to be your co-pilot on car rides, especially if she has a cozy bed on the front seat. Bailey came to us through a homeless advocate group in the valley after being found as a roaming stray. Despite her rough start, she has proven to be such a sweet and adaptable girl. She is potty trained, crate tolerant, and walks nicely on a leash. She has a more dominant personality and does well with other dogs after proper introductions and time to settle in. She has politely ignored cats in her foster home. At night, she is happy to snooze on a dog bed next to you or, if invited, she will gladly snuggle up in bed. Bailey is currently being fostered in Livermore, CA and is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and heartworm negative. All she is missing now is a forever home to call her own!
