Story
Chato needs a foster—or even better, a foster-to-adopt home Chato is a 1-year-old male pug mix and one of the many sweet dogs in East San Jose who’ve spent most of their young lives outdoors. His family is ended up  letting him go , as the husband recently suffered a serious head injury and is preparing for surgery, while the wife is balancing everything alone—including caring for their 2-year-old (whom Chato absolutely adored). We met Chato, and thanks to a kind offer for temporary housing, the family felt safe surrendering him to our rescue. Now, this little guy is ready for the next chapter: a loving foster home—or even better, a foster-to-adopt family. Chato is friendly, affectionate, and still has that puppy sweetness. He loves playing with other dogs and his toys, but more than anything, he loves being near people—likely because he didn’t get to spend much time indoors or close to humans, having lived and slept in an outdoor kennel. He’s now neutered and fully up to date on vaccines. If you can open your heart and home to Chato, even temporarily while we search for his forever family, please reach out. Fostering truly saves lives. Please help us learn more about you and your household by filling out our online application :  www.tinyurl.com/AdoptMeNow      December 3, 2025, 5:39 pm

Story
Looks like: Pug Male, 3 years old (estimated), 15 pounds Don't let his blindness fool you! Biggie sees the world through his heart, and what he sees is LOVE. Biggie is a sweet Pug with a gentle soul and a big personality. Despite being blind, he navigates life with the help of his other senses and, of course, his favorite humans! This little guy is incredibly affectionate, fantastic with children, and great with other dogs. He's calm, cuddly, and happiest when he's near his people. Biggie would thrive in a home where someone is around most of the day. He's a true companion dog who wants nothing more than to be by your side (or in your lap!). Whether it's naptime, playtime, or just being your shadow around the house, Biggie is all in. He's got so much love to give and is looking for a family who will cherish his unique needs and bottomless heart. If you're ready to welcome a sweet, special boy into your life, Biggie is ready to love you forever. This adorable, resilient guy joined us after his senior guardian could no longer care for him. He had some skin issues that needed care, but he's on track to have the most beautiful Pug fur soon!

Story
Looks like: Pug Female, 8 years old (estimated), 20 pounds Puffin is ready to steal your heart (and maybe your lap... permanently). This sweet little Pug girl is the total package: squishy face, big round eyes, tiny snorts, and enough charm to make anyone melt. You can expect a loyal shadow out of Puffin. She is one who wants to be wherever you are: on the couch, in the kitchen, even following you down the hallway just to be sure you're okay. Puffin would do best with someone who can include her in day-to-day life. Work-from-home humans, retirees, or families who love a constant companion. Another friendly dog would be a bonus! Puffin loves other dogs! Sweet Puffin joins us from Santa Cruz County Animal Services after she was found as a stray.

Story
Hiya friends, my name is Gadget! I'm a 1 year old, 19 lbs., neutered male Pug mix! I'm a happy go lucky, energetic little firecracker! I'm a playful guy who tends to have a more rough and tumble play style that not all dogs appreciate, I also love to run zoomies and play with toys. Due to my rambunctious nature, I would do best in a home with kits 10+. As you can see from my description, I'm a Pug mix. I have a lot of Pug characteristics but who knows, I am not really sure what I actually am. I could honestly be a little bit of everything and that way you get the best of everything in one dynamic little package!  Gadget ID#A975521Unless otherwise indicated, adoptable animals are located at our Lantos Center for Compassion at 1450 Rollins Road, Burlingame, CA 94010.  You may call us at 650-340-7022 to schedule an appointment, or just drop by.
