Pug puppies and dogs in Dublin, California

Feather or Gus. We are neutered, chipped & vaccinated. We are Pug Schnauzer mix. Mom is 100% Pug & dad is Schnauzer/mini Poodle. We are 4 months old & our days consist of playing & taking naps. We are doing awesome with potty-training. Being 50% pug means we will shed. Even if you think maybe we won't because of our Schnauzer genes, it's better to assume that we will, because pugs shed a lot, so we won't be good in a home w/someone w/allergies. We are very playful. We are not crate-trained, although we do sleep in a playpen w/each other. We’ve never been alone before, so we will probably need to get used to it, or maybe someone will adopt who has a pup friend already. Tell us about yourself. Your location, your current pets, your work schedule & any info about your household. Adopt one... or maybe both!

Pug / Dachshund Mix Age: ≈ 4 years old Female, spayed 15 lbs Adoption Fee: $125 (includes spay/neuter, microchip, vaccinations) Cheerio came to the Sacramento County Shelter underweight and with an embedded foxtail in her neck. It was removed surgically, but post-op they had trouble stopping the bleeding. She tested negative for any blood clotting disorder - perhaps the surgery nicked an artery? Eventually, the bleeding stopped, but it left her anemic. The shelter needed a rescue group that specializes in medical cases to continue addressing her veterinary needs. Over time in foster care, her anemia improved and she gained her weight back. She is a very friendly, sweet dog. She likes attention and affection from her foster parents and volunteers. She likes roughhousing with the younger, larger dogs in her foster home. She doesn’t like being confined or kept away from the activities of the home. Crate training would be pretty difficult - lots of barking. Apartment living may not be the best option for her. We have no experience with her as an only dog. We would recommend that she go to a home with other playful, friendly dogs. Please note that we don’t adopt any of our dogs out to homes with children under the age of 13.

We are looking to rehouse our sweet 3 1/2 year old, 40 lb dog. She is an energetic, affectionate dog with a heart full of love and not a mean bone in her body. She adores all people and animals alike, and is definitely a beta dog, making her an ideal companion for families with another dog (or two). She's a snuggler who also loves to stay active. She walks beautifully on leash, knows all the basic commands, and has excellent recall. She's the kind of dog who stays right by your side. She will do best in a home that can give her plenty of attention, daily exercise, and a consistent environment. She has a sensitive nature and some mild anxiety, so activity and love go a long way with her. We unfortunately don't have the bandwidth or lifestyle that allows for us to give her the exercise or attention she deserves. If you're looking for a loyal, loving companion who will shower you with affection, please reach out!

She doesn't ask for much in life— just a cozy place to nap, a few leisurely walks, and the privilege of following you absolutely everywhere. Bathroom? She's coming. Kitchen? She's already there. Laundry room? Obviously she has to supervise.   She simply wants to be wherever her favorite person is.   A Day in the Life of Miss Taffy   Taffy likes a predictable schedule and settles beautifully into daily life. On workdays, she starts the morning around 7:00 a.m. with a nice 15-minute walk before breakfast. While her foster is at work, she relaxes comfortably in her x-pen with a cozy bed, water, and breakfast waiting for her. She's proven to be wonderfully trustworthy and has never had an accident while home alone.   When her person gets home, she's ready for another stroll, followed by dinner and one final evening walk before bedtime. At night, she sleeps peacefully in her crate like the perfect little lady.   On weekends or work-from-home days, she happily adds an extra lunchtime walk and even enjoys longer adventures—she's completed walks up to 2½ miles while keeping an easy pace and never pulling on leash.   Velcro? More Like Super Glue.   Taffy's favorite hobby is...you.   She's one of those rare dogs who genuinely seems happiest just existing beside her person. If you move rooms, she moves rooms. If you sit down, she'll happily settle beside you. If you head to the bathroom, congratulations—you've got company.   Despite being incredibly attached to her people, she isn't demanding. She's perfectly content to simply nap nearby while you work, watch TV, read a book, or scroll your phone.   And yes...her tiny tongue often sticks out while she sleeps. Between that, her adorable underbite, and the occasional soft snore, she's basically impossible not to fall in love with.   Certified Couch Potato...With Surprise Zoomies   About 98% of the time, Taffy can be found doing what she does best:   Napping.   Lounging.   Perfecting the art of being an adorable potato.   But every now and then, if you encourage her to play, a completely different dog appears. Wiggle your hands, act playful, and suddenly this calm little pug transforms into a zooming loaf of bread flying laps around the couch at full speed.   It's unexpected.   It's hilarious.   And it's over almost as quickly as it started.   The Definition of Easygoing   Fireworks? No problem.   Garbage trucks? Doesn't care.   Motorcycles? Barely worth looking at.   Barking neighbor dogs? She strolls right past.   Taffy has one of the calmest temperaments you'll find. She hardly ever barks and takes life's surprises in stride. During the Fourth of July, she calmly walked outside during peak fireworks without batting an eye.   She enjoys meeting new people and will happily accept pets from complete strangers. If someone offers affection, she's already convinced they're a new best friend.   Walks Are Her Happy Place   Taffy is an absolute pleasure on leash.   She walks politely without pulling and enjoys exploring at a comfortable pace. If she spots another dog across the street, she'll stop to admire them and may lean toward saying hello, but she has shown no barking or reactive behavior.   She's simply curious and social.   House Manners? Straight A's.   Aside from one understandable accident on her very first day, Taffy has been completely house trained.   She sleeps soundly in her crate every night and has even started putting herself to bed when her foster tells her it's bedtime.   She isn't destructive, doesn't chew things she's not supposed to, doesn't dig, and is generally one of the easiest roommates you could ask for.   She may bark or whine briefly when her person first leaves the house, but this has steadily improved as she's learned they'll always come back.   A Gentle Heart   One of the most touching things about Taffy is how forgiving she is.   Sometimes she'll flinch when someone reaches toward her, suggesting she may not have always been treated with the kindness she deserves. Yet despite whatever happened in her past, she still chooses to trust people.   She greets strangers with hopeful eyes, welcomes affection, and has never shown any aggression toward her foster.   She truly has one of the sweetest souls you'll ever meet.   The Home She's Been Waiting For   Taffy doesn't need an exciting lifestyle.   She doesn't need marathon hikes or endless games of fetch.   She simply wants a family that adores her as much as she'll adore them.   Whether you work from home or head into the office, Taffy adapts beautifully as long as she gets quality time with her people. As with any pug, her future family should be prepared to keep her facial folds clean and be mindful of warm weather since pugs can overheat more easily.   Most importantly, she's looking for someone who will let her love them completely.   Because that's exactly what she'll do.   Why You'll Fall for Taffy   Some dogs impress you with tricks.   Some amaze you with athletic ability.   Taffy's superpower is making you feel loved.   One look into those enormous puppy-dog eyes—especially when paired with her tiny tongue sticking out—and you'll understand why her foster says she's the sweetest dog they've ever met.   She's gentle, funny, loyal, wonderfully low maintenance, and full of quiet charm.   Favorite Taffy Moments   Taffy has perfected the art of keeping her foster laughing.     She has an Oscar-worthy begging face. She never pesters for food, but those giant eyes could make even the strongest person question every life decision they've ever made. Think Puss in Boots...but somehow even more convincing.   And lately, she's learned that when it's time for her foster to leave for work, she can delay the inevitable by sprinting underneath the dining room table where she's just out of reach.   She's clever.   She's hilarious.   She's unbelievably sweet.   And she's more than ready to find the person she'll spend the rest of her life following from room to room. July 11, 2026, 2:43 am
