If you would like the first opportunity to adopt, please fill out an application to be considered.   Adoption Fee: $1000 Who You Gonna Call? Ghost or Buster! Meet Ghost, the cutest little pug haunting your heart! He's a 10 week old Pug who is ready to bust into your life and create all kinds of supernatural levels of adorableness. No need for proton packs here—just some treats, belly rubs, and a comfy lap, because this Ghost isn’t here to spook you—he’s here to smother you in cuddles. (Ghost and Buster are looking for separate homes) Ghost operates in two paranormal modes: hyper-speed zoomies and nap-induced invisibility. He kicks off his mornings with his signature 'wiggly butt ghost dance,' followed by breakfast (aka devouring his kibble like it might vanish into the spirit world). Then, he teams up with his partner-in-crime, Buster, for a little roughhousing before settling into his first nap of the day—because busting all that energy takes work, people. This pug isn't just a ghost of a dog; he’s the most affectionate apparition you'll ever meet. He’ll follow you around the house like he's tracking some invisible force (spoiler: it’s your lap). Once you sit down, it’s game over. Ghost will materialize instantly, demanding his rightful place—right on top of you. He currently shares a home with Buster (his twin brother, because obviously, every Ghost needs a Buster), a Goldendoodle, and even a Maine Coon cat who doesn’t seem phased by his ghostly presence. Ghost loves them all, but his true mission? To become your personal snuggle specialist. Ghost's idea of heaven? A slumber party with 6 kids—because, if there’s one thing he’s good at, it’s charming all the tiny humans. He’ll bounce from lap to lap like he’s checking in with his fan club, soaking up all the love and attention. Forget ghostly moans—Ghost’s only sound is the joyful jingle of his collar as he zooms around, leaving happiness in his wake. Now, Ghost isn’t just about zoomies and snuggles—he’s a polite boy too. He’s familiar with potty pads, though he sometimes gets so excited about life that he forgets where the 'outdoor bathroom' is. It’s a pug thing, not a ghost thing! While Ghost hasn’t quite mastered the art of barking (we suspect he might just be too polite to haunt anyone that way), he’s an energetic spirit, and sometimes he needs a little crate time to recharge his ectoplasmic energy. If you're looking for a pug with a personality that's larger than life (or death) who’s always ready for a tag-team cuddle session, look no further. This Ghost is ready to bust his way into your home and steal your heart forever. Just be prepared for an afterlife filled with zoomies, cuddles, and oodles of doggy kisses. Ghost is only an option for a home that has had a dog in the last 5 years. Why do we have this requirement? We believe that puppies need the most experience to become canine good citizens. If there are children in the home they should be six years or older.    October 7, 2024, 6:37 pm

If you would like the first opportunity to adopt, please fill out an application to be considered.   Adoption Fee: $1000 Meet Buster: The Pug Who Ain’t Afraid of No Ghost (or Anything, Really)! Looking for a puppy with serious pupparazzi potential? Meet Buster, the other half of the dynamic pug duo with his brother, Ghost. Together, they’re here to bust all your boredom, zoomies guaranteed. (No, we aren't looking to place them together. They need their own Haunted House) At just 10 weeks old, Buster’s motto is: 'Who you gonna call?' 'ME, for belly rubs!' Buster operates in two modes: zoomie tornado or nap king. At 7 AM, he’s up and ready to start his day by turning on his turbo tail-wag and boing-boinging all over the place like a spring-loaded marshmallow. Breakfast is his first mission, which he tackles like it might disappear into another dimension (or, you know, Ghost’s tummy). Then, it’s time to roughhouse with Ghost because what’s better than a little sibling rivalry to kick off the day? Mid-day, Buster hits the yard for a few laps of full-throttle zoomies, showing off his moves like he's practicing for the Puppy Olympics. His energy is contagious—whether he's chasing his brother or sneakily plotting his next surprise attack on a squeaky toy. But don't let his playful spirit fool you—Buster has a bit of an adventurous streak. He likes to explore new territory like a pint-sized Indiana Bones, but don't worry, he always returns to check on his humans (and probably demand more belly rubs). He’s the kind of pup who will wag his way through life with a smile on his face and a mission to make everyone he meets fall in love with him. Buster lives with his brother Ghost, a Goldendoodle, and a Maine Coon cat who may or may not be a ghost in disguise—either way, Buster’s cool with it. He gets along swimmingly with all of them, even letting the cat haunt the place without a single bark (so far, Buster’s bark remains a mystery... maybe he’s saving it for the big moment). The greatest day of Buster's life? A sleepover with SIX kids! Buster turned into a lap-hopping, kiss-giving machine, moving from kid to kid like he was running a belly-rub charity. Let’s just say, when Buster’s around, he ain’t afraid of attention. This goofy little pug is familiar with potty pads and crate-trained, although he sometimes gets too distracted by life to remember where the bathroom is. And while he may have a case of the zoomies, he eventually crashes hard—usually needing a little crate time to recharge his batteries. Teething? Oh yeah, a bit. But don’t worry, your shoes are (probably) safe. Digging? Not yet, but who knows what mysteries Buster will dig up in the future. Barking? Haven’t heard it—he’s a silent little ghost-busting ninja so far. If you’re ready for a pug with serious personality, endless zoomies, and a heart as big as his puppy-dog eyes, Buster’s your guy. He’s looking for a family that’s ready for kisses, belly rubs, and more playtime than you can handle. Plus, don’t forget—you get bonus snuggles from his twin brother, Ghost. Two for the price of one pug-tastic adventure! Adopt Buster (or Ghost!) because when there’s something cute in your neighborhood... Who you gonna call? Buster! Buster is an option for a home that had had a dog in the last 5 years. We believe our puppies need the most experienced homes so they can grow up to be good canine citizens. If there are children in the home they need to be 6 years or older.October 7, 2024, 6:37 pm

Our adoption fees vary. Each biography will specifically list the adoption fee.Adoption Fee: $850   Meet Petunia the Pug – Your Cuddle Buddy Extraordinaire! 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 6.        October 7, 2024, 6:37 pm

Hello, my name is Robert! I'm a 1-year-old, neutered pug mix that currently weighs about 20lbs. I may be a pug, but I'm still a high-energy guy that LOVES human attention! I don't mind other dogs, but I'd like to meet any resident dogs prior to joining the family. I'm very treat motivated so continuing my training will be a breeze! I'm hoping for a family that has experience with flat-faced breeds like me. I'm still working on some manners so I prefer kids 8+.
