Story
Hello! My name is Pepper! I was living in a home with a family that was being evicted and couldn't take me with them. 🫤 So I was taken in by some friends who didn't want me to get hurt and wanted to help me gain some needed weight! So now I'm on the lookout for a new home and family to belong to. ❤️ I'm very loving and loveeee to cuddle! I will gladly be your couch potato! I also have a whole box of toys I love to play with! But I'm a little unsure of bigger dogs, I was with kids and a smaller pug mix before so I'm used to that more just not big dogs. I am crate trained and know my crate as my bed. My friend who is taking care of me is still trying to figure out if I'm potty trained and just stressed or still trying to figure it out! I am a little shy with new people at first, but warm up pretty quickly! My friends think I will take a little adjusting but I'll fit in with my new family quickly!

Story
Augie is a charming French Bulldog with a big personality and an even bigger heart. He was found wandering the streets of Cincinnati, and despite every effort, no one came forward to claim him. Now, this little guy is ready for a fresh start and a forever home! Augie is a typical Frenchie — full of spunk, curiosity, and endless affection — but he’s also been through a lot, and he needs someone who will take things at his pace. He can be a little unsure at first and does best with people who are patient, gentle, and willing to go slow as he learns to trust and feel safe. Because of this, Augie would thrive in a calmer home with older kids who understand how to respect his space and let him warm up on his own terms. Once he knows you’re in his corner, he’ll be your loyal, goofy, snuggly sidekick for life. He enjoys short walks, cozy naps, and being part of the action (especially if it involves snacks). If you're the kind of person who believes in second chances and building trust one step at a time, Augie might just be the dog for you. Ready to meet Augie? Fill out an adoption application today and give this sweet boy the gentle forever home he deserves. 💙
