Story
Meet Pugsley: Professional Goofball & Full-Time Heart Stealer Pugsley is still waiting for his forever family (he’s checking his phone daily). As part Pug, he comes pre-installed with premium personality features: confident but chill, active but not bouncing off the walls, and affectionate without being a stage-5 clinger. He’s cheerful, charming, and lives to be the center of attention—think comedian energy with a wagging tail. If there’s an audience, Pugsley is performing. If there isn’t… he’ll create one. New places? No problem. New routines? He’s flexible. New dogs? Pugsley is a social genius who adjusts his vibe—playful with the playful, calm with the calm. Basically, he’s emotionally intelligent and funny. Overachiever. Adopting Pugsley won’t just change his life—it’ll upgrade yours with daily laughter, endless loyalty, and unconditional love. Side effects may include smiling too much, talking to your dog like a human, and wondering how you ever lived without him. 🐶 Apply now—Pugsley is ready to make your house a comedy club and a home. 💖

Say hello to Chip, the sweetest, squishiest little pug with a big heart and even bigger personality! This charming boy is a cuddle connoisseur who loves lounging on soft couches, snuggling up with his favorite plush toy, and flashing that irresistible pug smile that melts hearts in seconds. Chip may be small, but his love is larger than life. He’s happiest when he’s close to his people, whether that means napping by your side, showing off his funny stretches, or making you laugh with his goofy antics. He’s got a playful side too, his beloved stuffed toy rarely leaves his paw! Chip is the perfect mix of mellow and mischievous, he’s already mastered the art of relaxation but is always ready for a little fun and attention. He’s looking for a loving home where he can be spoiled, adored, and treated like the little king he is.

Story
Meet Chipper! He's around 1.5 years old and we believe he is a Pug and Maltese mix just shy of 30 lbs. He has a beautiful medium coat, warm brown eyes, and a fluffy look that makes him extra irresistible. Chipper is a gentle boy with a soft, sweet personality, and he has the most adorable face that you can't help but fall in love with. He loves a good snuggle session and gets along great with other dogs. He is housetrained, does well crated, and loves the dog park. Chipper does love to chew on anything he can get ahold of so have plenty of toys around! He is moderate to low energy, enjoying playtime and his walk but also never says no to couch cuddles. If you think you're ready to add to your family by adopting Chipper, then fill out an adoption questionnaire on our website today! We recommend completing the questionnaire and connecting with an adoption coach before looking for a dog or puppy you'd like to adopt.
