Pug puppies and dogs in Hayward, California

Junior is 4 years old. We just moved to Ohio and are staying with my mom. I started a new job and I just don’t have any time for him and it’s not fair to him. I would really like to see him in a cozy home with lots of love.

FOSTER CARE! Hi, I'm Hagrid! I'm a 2 year old, neutered pug/terrier mix that currently weighs about 35lbs. I'm a happy, silly, confident dog with a lot of energy! I enjoy running and playing with people and dogs alike, so I would love to go home with an active family. I'm also a big fan of belly rubs! Because I'm still working on my manners around food and small animals, I'd do best in an adults-only home. I can't wait to go home to a family that will continue my training so I can become the best pup I can be. For more information about me, just ask Customer Service about Hagrid!

Petunia is a 1 year old Pug with a personality as adorable as her name. Like her namesake, 'Petunia the Pig,' she’s all about snuggles and lounging – but don’t be fooled, she’s got plenty of pep when it’s time for play!  The Ultimate Lap Dog Petunia is the epitome of a velcro dog, never letting you out of her sight. If you're looking for a dog that will stay by your side, no matter where you go, Petunia’s your girl. Whether you're having breakfast, working from home, or even taking a shower, Petunia is never more than a few feet away. She loves to perch on the couch arm near your desk while you work, just waiting for her next belly rub! A Day in Petunia's Life Petunia wakes up when you do—no early-morning alarms with this laid-back lady. After a quick morning potty break and a stroll around the block, she’s back on the couch, giving you the sweetest puppy-dog eyes while you eat breakfast. Her day consists of following you around the house, taking naps in her favorite spots, and requesting belly rubs during your breaks. At 5 PM, she enjoys another neighborhood walk before settling down for dinner and more snuggles. If you’re late for her final 10 PM potty break, Petunia is clever enough to use the pee pads (although she’s so close to being fully pad-trained!) What Makes Petunia Special? • Loyal & Loving: Petunia takes her time to trust, but once she does, she’ll love you endlessly. She's cautious around new people, especially men, but with patience, she warms up and becomes your most loyal companion. • The Ultimate Lounger: If you love cuddles, Petunia will not disappoint. She’ll curl up next to you or on your lap, purring with happiness whenever you give her scratches. Her low purrs and snuggles are truly therapeutic. • Playful & Sweet: While mostly calm, Petunia gets little bursts of energy—she loves zooming around after her paws are wiped post-walk! She’s incredibly well-behaved, never barking, chewing, or causing trouble. Potty & Training Petunia is house-trained and prefers to potty outside. She knows how to sit and wait when a treat is involved, and she’s learning new commands quickly. Best of all, Petunia has excellent self-restraint—even when tempting treats are left on the table! Who Should Adopt Petunia? Petunia thrives in a home where someone is around most of the time. She does get lonely and will whine or rip up pee pads if left alone for more than an hour, so her ideal family would work from home or have another pet for company. She’s great with other dogs and would love to be a part of a cozy, dog-friendly environment. Petunia’s Perfect for You If... • You work from home or have a flexible schedule. • You love having a loyal, quiet companion by your side 24/7. • You’re looking for a low-maintenance dog who will reward you with love, snuggles, and adorable snores (yes, you’ll hear them during Zoom meetings!). Ready to Meet Petunia? If you’re looking for a loving, low-maintenance lap dog who will fill your days with warmth and cuddles, Petunia is the one for you. Don’t miss out on this perfect pug – reach out to meet her today!Petunia is an option for a home that has had a dog or at least a wide variety of dog experience. If there are children they need to be over the age of 10.       November 30, 2024, 7:12 pm

Mitzvah was rescued from the shelter where she was surrendered for reasons unknown. What we do know is Mitzvah is ready to paw-ty it up with her new people! Mitzvah weighs 22 pounds and has that adorable Pug frowny face that those who love the breed will fall madly in love with. Our gal is pretty perfect in every way! Want to learn more about Marvelous Mitzvah? Keep on reading and then bring her home!     Mitzvah is a loyal and cuddly girl looking for her forever people to help her blossom! Like a cat, Mitzvah takes a few days to get comfortable, but once she chooses you as her people, she’s ready for a lifetime of love and snuggles. She chose a spot on the couch, snagged the softest blanket, and made herself feel right at home! Mitzvah would love to find a person who can let her stay close and hang out. She would be a fabulous option for someone who works from home and wants a buddy. She’s playful and energetic when she’s in the mood for her toys but can also be calm when she’s ready for some snuggles on the couch. As our gal builds her confidence, we expect more of her playful side to emerge. She’d be thrilled to discover a chest of toys in her new living room once you take her home! Mitzvah is super smart as well, and is motivated by affection from her people. All she wants to do is make you happy and that makes her smile and wag her little tail! If you’re ready for a calm and cuddly little buddy who can keep you company on the colder winter nights, you’ve met your match with Mitzvah!  Mitzvah wakes up around 6 AM and goes out for play and potty before zooming back inside for breakfast. She gets free play until around 8 AM where she gets another walk around the apartment complex. While her foster mom works, she amuses herself with her toys and her naps. She is a champion snoozer! She goes out every few hours for potty breaks before she gets a long walk in the evening. She has dinner at 6 PM. In the evening, Mitzvah hangs out on the couch as she gets all the best snuggles. She gets herself ready for bed by going out once more for potty and then she heads into her crate for the night.  Mitzvah would do best in a home with a confident canine sibling to show her the ropes. She plays with the resident cat. Older kids and adults who don’t instantly overwhelm her with attention would be her ideal forever environment. Our ideal home for Mitzvah is one where she can grow her confidence and thrive!      Mitzvah is only an option for homes who currently own a dog or have extensive experience with shy dogs. Mitzvah would prefer a home without small children; teens are fine.December 4, 2024, 8:57 pm

Her loyalty is as fierce as her courage, and her playful yet protective energy will make her your loyal sidekick on every adventure you have planned. She will make a hu(man) who is obsessed with their perfect puppy out of you from the moment she trots into your arms and makes herself right at home. Our gal is hoping that someday soon her reflection can show her the happy, loving forever home she knows is out there! Mulan will bring honor to you, whether at puppy school or at the dog park. Just strap in and get ready for the adventure of a lifetime!    Life in the magic kingdom starts around 7:30 AM for these princesses. They wake up ready for potty, playtime, and food! After they finish their breakfast, they spend their mornings and afternoons playing, practicing for ruling, snuggling, napping, and sneaking all the treats they can! They love exploring the yard and can spend hours sniffing every fallen leaf and butterfly that floats by them. They get their evening meal at 6 PM, followed by an evening of cuddles and kisses. They each get some individual attention as the house starts to wind down. They head into their pen for a peaceful night of snuggles by 11 PM.  The Princesses have been well socialized with dogs of all ages and sizes. They love making new human friends as well and have attended several puppy parties, where everyone oohs and aahs over how adorable they are.
