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
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.

Story
Meet Klaus! This adorable pug puppy with a beautiful cream coat came to us from a Central Valley shelter where he had been surrendered by his owner. At just 8 months old, Klaus is a typical puppy who loves to play, do zoomies, and then crash happily in your arms. He is making great progress with potty training with frequent trips outside and is thriving in his foster home with other dogs and cats, getting along well with everyone. He's comfortable with a dog door now; he's a fast learner! Klaus is happiest around other dogs, so we are looking for a home with built-in besties for him. Klauss favorite place to sleep is on your pillow, right next to your head. He is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. Since we do not have vaccine records from his previous owner, we recommend a DaPP booster in two weeks to ensure full protection against distemper and parvo.

Story
Born on 9/14/25, Clara is everything youd hope for in a young pug: social, friendly, playful, and incredibly sweet. Clara may be the runt of the litter, but she more than makes up for it with her big, spicy personality. Shes hilarious, full of fun, and a total little spitfire. She and her brother adore being held, playing with their toys, and romping around together. They came to us in rough shape, covered in fleas with bellies full of worms, but theyve since made a full turnaround. Now theyre thriving, healthy, and happily enjoying the comforts of a clean, warm home. They will have their second set of vaccinations and a microchip at adoption. Pickup is in Concord, CA the week of January 19.

Story
Large and in charge, this 5-6 years old gorgeous gal is ready to take on the world. Shes got a lot to say, lots of energy, and social skills to charm any room she bursts into. She was previous used as a breeder dog, but that chapter is now far behind her. Shes simply enjoying being loved and cared for, and she is just so thrilled to zoom around a yard, curl up on her dog bed, and snuggling with her people. Shes potty and crate trained, and shes comfortable with a dog door. Shes very excited on a leash, but we think thats just because she wants to meet everyone and sniff everything. Princess is currently being treated for a double ear infection, which is very common in pugs. She has long-lasting antibiotics in her ears, so there is no need for daily ear drops. She is also a little on the chunky side, but her foster has her on a diet kibble and she is working toward getting below 20 pounds in the coming weeks. Shes spayed, microchipped, and fully vaccinated.
