Story
Meet Goldie! Goldie is one of Lali’s adorable puppies, and this little girl is full of personality. A pug mix, she's feisty, playful, and endlessly snuggly—the perfect combination of fun and affection.

Goldie is great with other dogs, cats, and kids of all ages, making her a fantastic fit for many types of homes. She’s still a puppy and is working on her potty training, learning more each day with guidance and consistency.

Story
Meet Lali! Lali is a young pug with a big heart and an even bigger personality. She was rescued from euthanasia at a local shelter along with her three nursing puppies, and now it’s finally her turn to be loved. Lali is a joyful, playful girl who gets along wonderfully with other dogs and kids of all ages. When playtime is over, she’s happiest curled up close, soaking up all the cuddles she can get. She is a little under a year old and around 14 pounds! Lali is almost fully potty trained and is continuing to work on her leash skills and basic training. She’s a clever little climber and can make her way out of a low pen, so she’s also practicing her crate skills to help set her up for success. With guidance and consistency, Lali is eager to keep learning. Fun, affectionate, and full of love, Lali would make a wonderful companion in just about any home. Could this sweet pug be the missing piece in your family?

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Forever Home Wanted: Meet Hugo! Hugo is a 24 lb pug mix with a big heart and an even bigger love for people. This little guy is happiest when he’s with his humans or hanging out with other dogs. He’s your typical happy-go-lucky, full-of-energy, wiggly puppy who absolutely loves toys and is always ready for playtime. He’s been fostered with an 80 lb shepherd and an 8 lb chihuahua, and he does great with both. Hugo enjoys playing with his dog friends but also does a wonderful job respecting their space when playtime is over. Hugo is also being fostered with a toddler, and he has proven to be incredibly gentle and sweet with young children. He’ll happily chase after them during play without jumping or knocking them over, and he takes treats softly and politely; making him a wonderful candidate for a home with kids. Potty training and crate training are still a work in progress, but Hugo is making improvement. He’s looking for a family who will continue to train him so he can keep growing into the well-mannered pup we know he can be. If you’re looking for a fun, loving little pup to join your family and tag along on all of life’s adventures, Hugo just might be your perfect match.  If interested in meeting Hugo, please fill out an application at www.labradorsandfriends.org. Hugo is located in Southern California.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 16, 2026, 4:22 pm

FTA app: https://form.jotform.com/201793643882060 The girl with the winning smile! Hey guys! I am Sussie, Sussie Q. I am a 4 year old, female Pug mix, spayed and about 11 lbs. Heard of the Chandler 55 case? Yes, I am a part of the disabled hoarded dog pack that was rescued from the monster house. With my sweet spirit and smile, you'd never guess what I have gone through. But only when you see my vet report! It's manageable I pawmise. I have Congenital Angular front limb deformity and Chronic orthopedic condition that affects mobility in hind legs that may have been caused by soft tissue injury that has healed. I do take dasuquin  for help. As long as I am being medically managed for mobility issues no surgery is necessary, but will not know know more until later. Surgery will be my adopter's financial responsibility if it is determined it is needed later by our future established vet. Regarding my training, I am leash trained for the 5-10 min walks I take due to leg deformities. The stroller with a soft blankie is my friend! I am pee pad trained. I am not crate trained. Now coming to my personality, the best part! My mama says that I am an absolute perfection! I love playing with dogs and toys, chewing on bones and sometimes your stuff haha but being all cute about it! I am a lap dog and you'd love my snuggles. If I could climb up on your shoulders and into your skin, I would do it! We can be best mates watching tv, all cuddling and being adorable. I am quite fond of dogs, but they have to have a sweet temperament because I can be the big mama. No cats please! I am very good with kids! I do get separation anxiety where I get anxious and scream, but having another dog completely calms me. I am obviously not a hiking dog, but I do make a good cafe date in my stroller. I am always grateful for my rescue and leaving behind that house of horrors. I do a lil dance when I get a new soft blanket and my zeal is infectious. I am the absolutely cutest little nugget that everyone falls in love with when they meet. I am looking for only the best home that will spoil me rotten because that is what this little princess deserves. If there are no dogs in the home I will need humans around for companionship. Any DINK couple around that likes to bring their dog everywhere with them? I am looking for a home with the best chew bones, softest blankets, and good sunbathing spots. If you think you have that X-factor, let's go get a drink together! My adoption fee is $300 and that includes spaying/neutering, shots, and microchip.

Story
This girl smiles with all her teeth when she gets excited. We think she's a 2ish year-old pug mix who radiates pure joy. She's potty & crate trained, a quick learner, loves her toys, and is equally happy snuggling up close. Shy at first, but once she warms up, she's your shadow for Life.
