Story
This little lady may roll instead of run, but she still makes sure she’s the life of the pawty! Olive was born with a neurological condition called degenerative myelopathy, which affects her spinal cord and has led to paralysis in her back legs. While the condition is permanent, it isn’t painful – and Olive doesn’t let it slow her down one bit! Whether she’s cruising around in her wheels or snuggling up for a nap, Olive proves every day that bravery comes in all shapes – and sometimes, with four wheels. These days, she rolls through life in her trusty wheelchair, happily exploring the world, soaking up sunshine, and charming everyone she meets. Olive is living proof that every dog deserves a chance.

Story
Meet Luna – A Loving 10-Year-Old Pug Looking for Her Forever Home Luna is a loveable 10-year-old pug with a sweet, affectionate personality and a playful spirit. Although she's a senior, she still has plenty of energy for short walks, playtime, and spending quality time with her favorite people. Luna is in good health and has lived happily with another dog, Hazel. She was the more confident personality in their relationship, but she enjoys having a canine companion and would likely do well with another friendly, well-matched dog after a proper introduction. Luna and Hazel were surrendered through no fault of their own when their owner had to move and could no longer keep them. Now, Luna is hoping to find a loving family where she can spend her golden years feeling safe, cherished, and at home again. She loves being part of the family and is happiest when she's near her people—whether she's following you around the house, relaxing on the couch, or soaking up all the love and attention you have to offer. Luna is moderately active and has the perfect balance of playful energy and cuddle time. At 10 years old, Luna still has so much love to give. If you're looking for a loyal, affectionate companion with a big heart and an adorable pug smile, Luna is ready to meet you. Could you be the one to give this deserving girl the second chance she's been waiting for? If you're interested in meeting Luna please complete the adoption application on our website, www.greatpets.org. Luna's $150 adoption donation includes her vet exam, vaccinations, spay surgery, fecal, flea control and microchip. June 27, 2026, 1:39 pm

Story
Hey there, I’m Everest! I’m a 2yearold, female, 21pound Pug mix with a heart full of love and a tail that never stops wiggling. I just finished raising my adorable puppies, and now I’m ready for my own happilyeverafter! I might be a tiny bit shy when we first meet, but give me a minute and—BOOM—I’m your new shadow. I’m a certified Velcro pup who believes personal space is a myth. If you’re looking for a buddy who sticks by your side like glue, I’m your girl. I love walks (I get excited and might do a little “zoompull”), and toys are basically the best thing ever. I’m great with dogs, cats, and kids—pretty much anyone who wants to be my friend. I’m a quiet little lady who rarely barks, and I’ve got a gentle, sweet personality. My only request? Please don’t put me in a crate. I’d much rather be out and about with my people, supervising all activities like the tiny queen I am. If you want a loyal, snuggly, goofy companion who will adore you endlessly, I think we should meet. Interested in adopting me? Head over to www.LOLR.org and fill out an application! ##2638535##

Story
Meet Matterhorn, the little troublemaker with a heart of gold!This 4monthold Pug/French Bulldog mix (DNA confirmed!) is living his very best puppy life. His daily routine includes pestering his endlessly patient mom, zooming around the yard like he’s training for the Puppy Olympics, and soaking up every ounce of human affection he can get. Matterhorn is loving, energetic, and wonderfully loyal and the kind of pup who assumes every person he meets is already part of his fan club. He adores kids, cuddles, and collapsing into a wellearned nap after a day of adorable chaos.Like all puppies, he’ll need continued socialization and training to help him grow into the best dog he can be. And because he’s a brachycephalic (snubnosed) little dude, he’ll need to stay cool and avoid overheating. A home with another wellrounded dog would be a huge bonus — he loves having partners in crime.Matterhorn is vaccinated, dewormed, and microchipped. He’ll be neutered when he’s old enough, and a neuter deposit may be required.If you’d like to meet or adopt Matterhorn, head to LOLR.org and submit an adoption application. ##2643137##
