Story
Our sweet Chloe came in not looking so well but once we figured out she was allergic to chicken her life changed. She can not have any chicken products at all. She is a silly goofy girl who would love someone who understands pugs are hyper but full of love. She loves blankets and gets super excited!

Meet Cricket Cricket is a loving and loyal 2 year old pug mix with lots of love to give. She's an adult dog with a fun and playful side, but can also be gentle and quiet when she needs to be. She's very smart and has a funny, quirky personality. She loves to be around her favorite people and receive lots of affection and pets. She's also great at giving cuddles on the couch. She may be a little shy at first, but she'll warm up to you quickly once she gets to know you. She would be a great addition to a family, or as a companion for someone looking for a loyal and fun-loving furry friend. She is great with other dogs, but she's definitely a people’s dog. If you're interested in adopting Cricket, please reach out! ♥ Cricket is in central ca, transport can be arranged! She's been overlooked and really needs someone to love her! Got questions?

ROBERT is a PUG/ POODLE mix. He's a sweetheart baby who deserves to be in a home, not a kennel. There was a backyard breeder situation in which this angel was saved and we made sure he's healthy and ready to find his forever people:? bonus is he barely sheds (if you care about that sort of thing) we don't! :) ##2369948##

Meet Gus! Gus is your next best friend! Gus literally bounces around the room with excitement after being saved from the shelter. He deserves someone that will match this amazing energy and keep him playful long past his puppy years! Gus would love to have some doggy friends to play with but his person would also be enough! Can you be Gus's knight in shining armor?

Story
Meet Gherkin and Dillan: A Perfect Pair of Playful Hearts THEY DO NOT HAVE TO BE ADOPTED TOGETHER Gherkin and Dillan are one-year-old pug mixes who didn’t come from the same home, but you’d never know it. Since meeting, they’ve formed a bond that’s both deep and delightful. They are the best kind of duo: Gherkin is the brains – clever, curious, and always thinking – while Dillan is the lovable goofball, full of charm and comedic timing. Together, they’re pure joy. These two are like toddlers in dog form. They’ll play and play until they can barely keep their eyes open, then snuggle up and snooze like babies. Their days are filled with chase games, silly antics, and the kind of companionship that warms your heart just watching them. Gherkin’s intelligence means he’s quick to figure things out (including how to get into places he maybe shouldn’t), while Dillan is all about fun and bringing a smile to your face. They’re crate trained and doing really well with housebreaking. A secure yard is a must. Both because they’re small and because their inquisitive natures mean they’re always exploring. Each morning, they greet you with uncontainable joy, squealing and wiggling like it’s the best day of their lives just because you walked into the room. They adore their people, and they’ll absolutely adore their forever family. Gherkin and Dillan are ready to fill your home with laughter, love, and the kind of companionship that only comes once in a lifetime. If your home could use a little more heart and a whole lot more fun, these two are waiting to meet you! The darker pup is Dillan. https://dawgsquad.org/adoption-application/

Story
Pull up a seat, because Swivel from the Chair Litter is about to steal your heart! He's a 3-month-old Pug mix who we expect to be medium-sized once fully grown. Swivel is all things puppy — playful, curious, and full of affection. He loves exploring his toy box and then cuddling up for a long nap after a day of puppy adventures. Swivel loves pups of all sizes and will do well in a variety of homes. He has gotten a head start on basic training with the help of his foster and will need adopters who are excited to continue this with him as he grows. If you’re looking forward to the joys and challenges of puppyhood, consider Swivel!

Story
Cher is a fun-loving, people-focused little pup who’s ready to wiggle her way into your heart! At just 3 months old, this peppy and snuggly pug mix is full of playful energy and sweet puppy charm. She’s eager to meet new friends (both human and canine!) and is always up for an adventure — or a cozy nap with a chew toy. Cher plays well with other dogs and would thrive in a home with a doggy sibling who can show her the ropes. She hasn’t had much direct contact with cats, but she’s shown curiosity — with the typical puppy enthusiasm and some chasey instincts. A dog-savvy cat who can handle playful puppy energy would be the best fit. Still a baby, Cher is working hard on pee pad training and learning the basics of manners. She’s about 60% of the way there and improving daily, especially when treats are involved! She’s not quite ready for walks yet but will make a great walking buddy once she’s a bit older and fully vaccinated. Cher loves her toys, especially bones she can chew on while snuggled in a soft bed. She’s affectionate and definitely has a Velcro side — she'd follow you around all day if she could! Her foster is helping her build some independence, but she’ll thrive in a home where she can get lots of love, attention, and gentle guidance as she grows. Ready to fall in love? Cher’s waiting to meet her forever family!

Adopting a Pug

Frequently asked questions about acquiring an Pug - the pros and cons of adopting versus going through a breeder, and associated costs.

Adopt a Pet can be a great starting point to find a good Pug. You’ll find lists of Pugs available for adoption from various rescue organizations and shelters across the country. Use the advanced search and filter options on these websites to narrow down your criteria. You can specify the breed (Pug), age, location, and other preferences to find Pugs that match your requirements. Once you find a Pug that catches your eye, reach out to the rescue organizations or shelters through the contact information provided.

It’s not inherently cruel to buy a Pug, but the ethical considerations lie in where and how you buy the dog. Adopting a pug from a rescue organization or shelter is a more compassionate and ethical choice, as it not only provides a home for a dog in need but also discourages unethical breeding practices.

The cost to adopt a Pug is around $300 in order to cover the expenses of caring for the dog before adoption. You can adopt a Pug at a much lower cost than buying one from a breeder. Buying Pugs from breeders can cost anywhere from $500 to $2,000, depending on whether or not they’re from show-dog bloodlines.

You should consider adopting a pug if you’re looking for a relatively small dog that doesn’t require extensive exercise with a low-maintenance coat. Pugs are known for their affectionate and friendly nature, making them great for individuals who live alone or families looking for a loving pet.

The easiest way to adopt a Pug is through a rescue that specializes in Pugs. A great place to start is by starting a breed search on Adopt a Pet. The search will show you all the available Pugs in your area.

Pug fun facts

Fun Facts:

Pugs are actually mini-Mastiffs and were bred by the Chinese 2,000 years ago. They were once the furry companions of Buddhist monks.

A Pug once saved the life of Prince William of Orange! His tiny, wrinkled friend barked to alert him of an assassin -- unusual for a Pug as they are not natural barkers.

Napoleon's wife Josephine owned a Pug named "Fortune." Before her marriage to Napoleon, while she was in Les Carmes prison, she snuck notes to her family out of her cell via her Pug friend!
