Story
Brisk is an adorable 3 year old, 13 lb male pug mix looking for his forever home. Brisk is a loving and affectionate pup, who is both house trained and crate trained, and good with dogs, children and adults. He's always ready to curl up beside you while you work from home, or follow you from room to room just to stay close. He has a playful, fun personality but also knows how to relax during a quiet moment, making him an easy fit for just about any home. Brisk doesn't bark (like, ever!), which makes him a great match for apartments or anyone who needs a more peaceful environment, and loves getting out for walks (and easy to walk on the leash!). He loves playing with toys and other dogs, and would make a great buddy to take to coffee shops or on errand runs as he is an active boy and would do best with another playful dog or active family. Brisk is loyal companion, and a very sweet boy, that would be a steady presence in any family's life. His adoption fee is $350 and includes his neuter, microchip and current vaccinations. To fill out an adoption application, visit https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/SSP-A-1739 To follow Brisk on his journey to a loving family on SPOT's Facebook page, visit https://facebook.com/spotsavespets/ and on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/spotsavespets/

How this pet arrived: Barbirusa was brought in by our Humane Law Enforcement team on March 2, 2026. Why this pet is the one for you: Meet Barbirusa! Barbirusa is a sweet and sensitive girl who likes to take life at her own pace.

With gentle introductions, patience and lots of encouragement, Barbirusa's fun personality can really shine! She loves zooming around and then settling in your lap. Because she can be a bit timid at first, she's looking for a quiet home, without young children (10+) and where everyone can respect her boundaries. She can't wait to share her love with her new family - come meet her today! At SDHS:Barbirusa has been vaccinated, microchipped and spayed. She is now ready for her new home! Shy/Fearful Dog: Barbirusa requires a virtual behavior consult, please watch THIS video to learn more about her. Primary Color: Brown Secondary Color: Black Weight: 24.6 Age: 3yrs 10mths 1wks

Story
Looking for a new member of the family? This little pug has one rule: it's all about the people. At 5-6 years young and a dainty 12 Ibs, this purebred pug is small in size but huge in personality. She's not a fan of cats, and she'd rather not share her spotlight with other dogs — but give her a human to love and she is ALL in. She's looking for a home where she can finally put down roots and be someone's whole world. Could that be you?

Story
Meet Schnuffle! 🐾 Schnuffle is a 5-year-old neutered male Pug weighing approximately 28 pounds who is looking for his forever home. He is house-trained, crate-trained, and up to date on all vaccinations. Schnuffle absolutely loves people and is wonderful with both adults and children. He is incredibly affectionate, enjoys cuddling, and wants nothing more than to be close to his humans. While he gets along well with other dogs, he definitely prefers the company of people. Rehoming Schnuffle has been a very difficult decision. Unfortunately, our resident dog prefers being an only dog and has not adjusted to having another dog in the home. This decision is solely to give Schnuffle the loving environment he deserves. If you’re looking for a loyal, sweet companion with lots of love to give, Schnuffle may be the perfect addition to your family.

Story
*Courtesy Post* Meet Espi. A gentle soul learning that the world can be kind. She is about 5-6 years old. She was found severely starved on an abandoned property, left to fend for herself. Despite everything she’s been through, Espi has shown us that her heart is still open. She is a very sweet girl, she just needs a little time to feel safe with new people. She is shy at first and takes some time to trust. The best way to win her over is actually to give her space and let her come to you. Fast movements toward her face or coming towards her too fast can make her nervous so patience and calm energy goes a long way with this girl. Once she realizes she’s safe, she will ask you for pets by giving you her paw. She is house trained, crate trained and does well with other dogs. While she isn’t necessarily looking for a constant playmate, she enjoys hanging out and coexisting with other dogs. Espi is very food motivated. She hasn’t quite mastered taking treats gently from your hand yet, but she absolutely loves playing catch with treats and will happily participate in a snack toss session. Because Espi is still learning to feel safe in the world, she would do best in a calm, adult only home. Older, respectful environments where people understand that trust takes time will allow her to thrive. She can live with or without other dogs. She just needs someone patient enough to let her unfold at her own pace. If you believe in giving dogs a second chance and understand the time and compassion they deserve, Espi might be the girl you’ve been waiting for. If you are interested in meeting Espi, please fill out an application on our website below! https://www.underdogheroes.org/our-dogs
