Story
Doug isn’t the loudest dog in the room — he’s the one everyone ends up falling for anyway. At around 6 years old, Doug has mastered the art of being the calm, steady presence every home needs. He has one eye, which only adds to his soulful, distinguished look. It doesn’t slow him down one bit — it just makes him even more unforgettable. Doug is beautifully balanced. He’s potty trained, crate trained, walks gently on leash, and rides calmly in the car. No separation anxiety. No resource guarding. No chaos. He learned the doggy door in one try because, well… he’s just that kind of smart. With other dogs, he’s friendly and easygoing — more “let’s coexist peacefully” than “let’s wrestle for hours.” With new people and kids, he’s polite and relaxed. He doesn’t demand attention, but he quietly chooses his person and stays close. Doug is the type of dog who will follow you from room to room, settle at your feet, and make your house feel calmer just by being in it. He doesn’t need to be the center of attention to be the best thing in the room. He would thrive in a relaxed home that appreciates a steady, gentle companion. If you’re looking for a loyal presence, a quiet shadow, and a dog who feels like home — Doug might just be your once-in-a-lifetime match. 🤍🐾 Apply to adopt Doug and come meet the boy everyone quietly falls in love with.

Story
NIKKI: Mr. Congeniality With a Wiggle Butt 🏆🐾 If there were a popularity contest at the dog park… Nikki already won it. This guy is PURE social butterfly energy. He doesn’t just enter a room — he announces himself with kisses, wiggles, and an enthusiastic “HI BESTIE!!!” leap straight into your heart. 💫 Personality: 12/10 Nikki is outgoing, playful, silly, and wildly affectionate. Touch him? He turns it into a game. Call his name? He’s bounding over. New person? Immediate friend. Kids? Yes please. Other dogs? Let’s party. He is the definition of Mr. Congeniality — actively seeking friendships at the dog park, in his foster home, basically anywhere with a pulse. 🍽️ Eats like a gentleman Hill’s Science Diet (⅓ cup twice a day), though he’s flexible if the chef changes the menu. 🏠 Home Life Highlights Crate trained ✔️ Potty trained ✔️ (may mark a little while settling in — he just likes to claim his kingdom) No resource guarding No separation anxiety No triggers Overall healthy & thriving 🚗 Calm in the car 🚶‍♂️ Eager on leash (because there might be people to meet) 🐶 Playful and joyful with other dogs 🐱 Cats unknown 👧 Friendly with kids He loves to jump up and say hello, shower you in kisses, and then zoom off to start a wrestling match with his dog friends. Compared to his brother Max, Nikki is the sillier, goofier one — the class clown who also happens to be incredibly smart and quick to learn. He thrives with: ✨ An active family ✨ Other dogs to play with ✨ Humans who don’t mind enthusiastic greetings ✨ Someone who appreciates BIG personality in a compact pug body If you want a dog who: ✔️ Makes instant friends ✔️ Keeps life fun ✔️ Brings nonstop happy energy ✔️ Turns every outing into a social event Nikki is ready to be the life of your party. Warning: Personal space will no longer exist. And honestly? You won’t miss it. 🐾💛

Story
MR. TOO COOL MAX 😎🐾 (But Also Mr. Everybody’s Best Friend) You know that guy at the park who somehow knows everyone? The one bouncing from group to group like he’s hosting the event? Yeah. That’s Max. Mr. Too Cool Max may act like he’s got Important Business to attend to, but truthfully? He just wants to say hi to literally everyone. Dogs. Kids. Adults. The mailman. Probably the squirrels if they’d stop running. He’s confident. He’s social. He might be just a touch overly friendly — in the best way. 🍽️ Fuel of choice? Hill’s Science Diet (⅓ cup, twice a day) — though Max believes variety is the spice of life. He’s adaptable. A social king must be. 🏠 The House Rules (According to Max): ✔️ Potty trained (minimal marking — just signing the guest book, really) ✔️ Crate trained (may give a little “but what if I miss something?!” whine at first, then settles beautifully) ✔️ No separation anxiety ✔️ No resource guarding ✔️ No drama Emotionally stable. Socially enthusiastic. 💁‍♂️ Personality Vibes Max is independent — but not aloof. He’s affectionate, he just doesn’t want to sit still too long because there might be someone new to meet. He’s the kind of dog who: 🐾 Loves the park (thinks he might run it) 🐾 Makes friends instantly 🐾 Plays confidently with other dogs (and may appoint himself assistant manager) 🐾 Is friendly and gentle with kids 🐾 Rides calmly in the car 🐾 Walks eagerly on leash like he’s headed to a social engagement He’s playful. He’s outgoing. He’s confident without being anxious. He likes to greet first, ask questions later. Max thrives with people who love an interactive, engaged dog — someone who enjoys a pup that wants to be part of everything. He’s not clingy… he just prefers to stay in the mix. If you’re looking for: ✨ A confident, social companion ✨ A dog who makes every outing more fun ✨ A playful, park-loving buddy ✨ A friendly face who thinks strangers are just friends he hasn’t met yet Mr. Too Cool Max is ready to roll into your life like he’s already part of the family. Because in Max’s world? Everyone’s invited. 😎🐾

Story
CHARKY: The Mayor of Yaptown 🗣️🐾 If you’re looking for a quiet, mysterious, blends-into-the-background type… keep scrolling. If you’re looking for a hilarious, affectionate, full-volume bundle of pug joy — Charky is your guy. Charky is potty trained, stair mastering, Fresh Pet–fueled perfection (¼ cup twice a day, thank you very much). He’s healthy, happy, and ready to bring the party wherever he goes. 💥 Personality Level: Extra (in the best way) Charky is affectionate, playful, goofy, and proudly communicative. He doesn’t just live life — he narrates it. Excited? YAP. Happy? YAP YAP. Slightly inconvenienced? A dramatic pug opera performance. The best part? Nothing is wrong. He just has thoughts and believes you should hear them. He LOVES head scratches, leans into affection, and wants to be where his people are at all times. Personal space? Never heard of her. 🐶 Social Butterfly Status: Confirmed Friendly and submissive with other dogs Would thrive with other small dogs to play with Great with kids (older kiddos who can match his energy are ideal!) Energetic and welcoming with new people 🚶‍♂️ On leash? Eager explorer. 🚗 In the car? A little nervous at first, but settles once he realizes snacks and snuggles are still available. 🏠 At home? Clingy cuddle bug who prefers not to be left alone too long (he’ll voice his opinion about it). ⚡ A few things to know: Not crate trained yet Mild resource guarding (more “this is mine” posture than actual attitude) Loud noises like fireworks or vacuums can spook him He may bark or howl when left alone — because again, he has feelings Charky would absolutely flourish in a home with: ✔️ Another small playful dog ✔️ Humans who appreciate a chatty companion ✔️ A family who loves personality ✔️ Someone who finds dramatic pug noises endearing (because they are) He’s affectionate. He’s social. He’s goofy. He’s snuggly. He’s basically a living, breathing sound effect with a heart of gold. If your house feels a little too quiet… Charky is ready to fix that. 🐾💛

Story
CHEWY: The Silver-Eyed Superhero 🩶✨ Some heroes wear capes. Chewy wears silver eyes. With his shimmering cataract glow and superhero-level senses, Chewy doesn’t just navigate the world — he owns it. While he may only see a little, he feels everything… the couch cushion calling his name, the jingle of a food bowl across the room, and most importantly — the heartbeat of his human. Chewy is practically pug perfection wrapped in a soft, snuggly, slightly goofy package. He’s affectionate, confident, and wildly in love with life. Blindness? Please. That’s just his origin story. ✨ Chewy’s Superpowers: 🩶 Silver eyes that look straight out of a Marvel movie 🐾 Doggie door professional 🚗 Calm co-pilot in the car 🐶 Friendly with dogs (loves a good play bow moment) 🐱 Cat indifferent (aka minding his business) 👧 Kid-approved cuddle champion 🏃‍♂️ Athletic and eager on leash 🛋 Snuggle mode: activated at all times He’s potty trained, playful, affectionate, and absolutely thrives in a loving home. He does get a little unsure in the crate, but give this hero a bully stick and suddenly he’s brave and content. Growth arc? We love to see it. Now, about his relationship with food — Chewy eats like he’s training for the Olympics and believes all bowls within a 10-foot radius are potentially his. The fix? Feed him separately and boom — problem solved. He’s food motivated, enthusiastic, and very passionate about meat. Honestly, relatable. Despite limited vision, Chewy moves through life with confidence and joy. He plays, cuddles, explores, and keeps up with everyone else like the champ he is. His allergies are manageable, he’s otherwise super healthy, and he’s ready to save the day in his forever home. If you’re looking for: A loyal sidekick A snuggly superhero A silver-eyed legend Chewy is ready to report for duty. 🩶🐾
