Meet 1 year old, 18 lb happy Baby Pug. Baby came to us from another rescue along with several other dogs. She loves people.

Once she settles down, she likes to go on walks with some of our other dogs. The best home will be active, have space for her to run, and she can be the center of attention.

Meet 1 year old, 15 lb Pug/Shih Tzu, Ziggy Pug. Ziggy and his brother French Fry came from a home that had an accidental breeding of a black pug and white/brown Shih Tzu. Both boys are friendly and active. Ziggy is an adorable looking, scruffy pup whose tongue sticks out. Ziggy can be vocal. He is a voracious eater. Ziggy loves to play and get into mischief with French Fry. They have become quite attached, so we'd like them to be adopted as a pair. Apply to meet Ziggy and French Fry at adoptocpets.org/adopt

Story
Meet 1 year old, 15 lb Chihuahua/Pug mix, Peanut Pup. Peanut came to us from a local shelter, where he was given up. Peanut is very active. Peanut likes to play with our other dogs with similar energy—and loves people that he knows. At the same time, he barks at strangers and large dogs on walks. Peanut will do best as an only dog with lots of enrichment or with another dog that he likes. Because of his anxiety around unknown factors, he will not do well in an apartment, condo, or other high-density housing—or with young children. Apply to meet Peanut at adoptocpets.org/adopt

Story
Meet Lola, the professional shadow! Lola is a petite 2 year old Chug, a Chihuahua and Pug mix, who weighs just 13 pounds. Her foster family thinks Shadow might have been a more appropriate name because wherever her people go, Lola is usually right behind them. She loves attention and cuddles and is happiest when she can be close to her favorite humans. If you happen to stop petting her before she believes the cuddle session is over, she may gently reach out with her front paws to remind you that your job is not quite finished. Lola is a calm, relaxed girl who would choose snuggling with her person over a pile of toys any day. When she is not following her humans around, you can usually find her relaxing in her crate, sunbathing outside, or sleeping near her two foster sisters, a Pit Bull and a Lab who each weigh around 60 pounds. Their size does not bother Lola one bit, and she seems perfectly comfortable being one of the big girls. She especially enjoys spending time outside soaking up the sunshine and fresh air. Lola also takes mealtime very seriously. Breakfast and dinner are highlights of her day, and treats are a great way to get her undivided attention. Her love of food can also be helpful when it comes to training and learning new things. Lola is an affectionate little companion who does not need constant excitement to be happy. Give her a cozy place to relax, some sunshine, good food, and most importantly, a person to follow and cuddle with, and Lola will feel right at home.

Story
Hi there! I’m Kevin, a one-year-old Pug/Chihuahua mix puppy who’s always up for some fun and adventure. I weigh about 15 lbs. and I’m curious about everything and love to explore, chasing after anything that looks interesting or playful. When I’m done with all my energetic antics, I’m happy to settle down for a cozy nap. I’m a sweet, determined little guy who loves both playtime and cuddles. I sleep through the night like a champ and am ready to bring lots of joy and laughter to a forever home. Could that home be with you? If you are interested in adopting, please visit the I.C.A.R.E.
