Story
Meet Dewey — The Little Guy Who Sees the World Differently Dewey is a four-year-old Pug with a story that didn’t start easy—but you’d never know it by the way he shows up every single day. He came to us from another rescue that needed support, and from the moment we met him, we knew he was something special. There’s a quiet resilience about him… the kind that doesn’t ask for attention but absolutely deserves it. A Medical Journey That Made Him Stronger At some point in Dewey’s life, he lost one of his eyes. Unfortunately, the initial procedure did not heal properly, so our veterinary team performed a corrective surgery to ensure the area was clean, comfortable, and fully closed. Today, he is healed, pain-free, and doing beautifully. His remaining eye has limited vision—he mostly sees shadows and movement—but don’t let that fool you. Dewey has adapted incredibly well. He navigates his environment with confidence, learns routines quickly, and doesn’t let his vision slow him down one bit. His Personality — Easy, Sweet, and Just Happy to Be Here Dewey is one of those dogs that just gets it. He’s easygoing, loving, and completely content being part of the pack. He enjoys hanging out with his dog friends during playtime, but he’s just as happy curling up on a cozy dog bed for a nap right next to you. When the sun hits and it gets a little warm, you’ll find him cooling off in a shallow pool like it’s his own little spa day. No drama, no chaos—just Dewey living his best life. The Everyday Stuff Dewey is potty trained and has been doing great with his routine. He used to “hike” his leg occasionally (because… pug ), but over the last few months, that behavior has really improved with consistency. He’s low maintenance, adaptable, and truly just wants a calm, loving home where he can continue to feel safe and included. His Perfect Home Dewey would thrive in a home that understands that not every dog sees the world perfectly—but that doesn’t mean they experience it any less fully. He would love another dog to hang out with, but more than anything, he just wants companionship, consistency, and a soft place to land. The Bottom Line Dewey is proof that dogs don’t need perfect circumstances to live a full, happy life. He’s already done the hard part—now he’s just waiting for someone to choose him. And trust us… once you do, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without him. Dewey is neutered, vaaccinated and microchipped, he is being fostered in Mesa, AZ. Dewey adoption donation fee is $500.00 and you can apply for him at freedomfrenchierescue.org.

Story
Meet George Michael! Born in late March 2025, this sweet one year-old pug/chihuahua mix has a heart full of love and a soulful spirit that’s impossible to resist. His story began before he even opened his eyes—his mama was rescued from a shelter while pregnant. Now, George is ready for the next beautiful chapter: a forever home with someone who’s been waiting just for him. George is gentle, affectionate, and full of quiet charm. He adores being around kind kids and other small, friendly dogs. He’s still a puppy, so he’s working on house training and learning the basics, but he’s smart, eager to learn, and loves being by your side. He’s been neutered, vet-checked, and is current on all his vaccines—happy, healthy, and ready to share his love. His adoption fee is $480. If you believe in fate and forever friendship, you’ll know exactly what George means when he looks at you with those sweet eyes - "I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)."

Story
🐾 Peppa Has Arrived — and She’s Looking for Her Forever Home 🐾 Please help us welcome Peppa, one of the newest little faces in our rescue. This adorable pug was born on 3/4/25 and is already winning hearts with her beautiful fawn coloring and sweet little pug charm. 💛🐶 Peppa is still very new to the rescue, so we’re just beginning to learn about her personality as she settles in. What we do know is that she’s a lovely young pup with lots of life ahead of her and a future family out there waiting to fall in love. Right now, Peppa is working through her vaccines and will be spayed soon as part of her adoption process. As she gets comfortable and we learn more about her quirks, likes, and personality, we’ll be sure to share updates. For now, we’re excited to introduce her and start the search for the home that will be lucky enough to call this sweet pug their own. 🐾 Stay tuned for more Peppa updates — and if you’ve been dreaming of adding a little pug personality to your life, she might just be the one. 💕 Adoption App: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/LCDR/Dog
