Story
Meet Pookie Breed: Pug DOB: 10/3/2022 Weight: 18 pounds Gender: Male Health: Healthy, neutered Good with: Dogs and kids Pookie’s Personality Pookie is pure pug charm wrapped in a squishy, lovable body. He’s affectionate, friendly, and always happy to be near his people. True to his breed, Pookie loves attention, enjoys playtime, and is just as content curling up beside you for a nap. He gets along well with other dogs and is gentle and patient with children, making him a wonderful family companion. His expressive face and sweet nature make it impossible not to smile around him. Breed Info: Pugs Known for their loving, people-oriented personalities Thrive on companionship and do best as part of the family Moderate energy: playful bursts balanced with lots of cuddle time Require regular care for wrinkles, eyes, and weight management Pugs are loyal little shadows who form deep bonds with their humans and want nothing more than to be included in everyday life. Owner Responsibilities Adopting Pookie means committing to: Daily companionship and quality time (pugs don’t like being alone much) Regular walks and play while avoiding overheating Proper diet and weight monitoring Ongoing grooming, wrinkle cleaning, and basic training Routine vet care and preventive health maintenance Things to Consider Before Adopting Do you have time every day for interaction, walks, and affection? Are pets allowed where you live, now and in the future? Are you prepared financially for food, grooming, and vet care? Will your lifestyle remain stable for the next 10–15 years? Can you commit to caring for a dog through all life stages? Adoption is not just about today — it’s about every tomorrow. ⏳ Understanding the 3-3-3 Rule Even confident, friendly dogs like Pookie need time to adjust: First 3 days: Decompressing, learning new sights, sounds, and routines First 3 weeks: Beginning to feel safe and understand expectations First 3 months: Trust fully forms and personality truly shines Patience, structure, and love make all the difference. Vet Care Reminder Although Pookie is healthy and neutered, adopters should take him to their own veterinarian as soon as possible after adoption to establish care and ensure continued good health. Why Pookie Will Be a Great Addition Pookie is the kind of dog who turns a house into a home. He brings warmth, laughter, and unconditional love wherever he goes. Whether it’s family movie nights, gentle play with kids, or cozy naps by your side, Pookie is happiest when he’s part of your world. He’s not just looking for a home — he’s looking for his people to love for the rest of his life.

Story
Bub is a 2 year old neutered male Pug with main-character energy and absolutely zero interest in playing it cool. Found by a Good Samaritan in Inglewood, he arrived like a little wrinkled surprise who immediately decided the world is his audience. He’s equal parts comedy and confidence—big expressive eyes, signature pug snorts, and a talent for making every moment slightly more entertaining than it needs to be. Bub doesn’t really “walk” so much as he patrols with purpose, especially if snacks or attention might be involved. Social, opinionated, and endlessly endearing, he’s the type of dog who believes personal space is optional and affection is mandatory. If you sit down, he considers that an invitation. If you don’t, he’ll still consider it an invitation. Bub is looking for a home that appreciates a little chaos, a lot of personality, and a dog who will absolutely keep life interesting—in the best possible way. We hold an event every weekend at our facility on SATURDAY and SUNDAY 11-5pm and open to the public. It is first come first serve we do not evaluate applications prior to an event.
