Story
This funny pup is named Theodore. He was born 1/2/2025 and originally came to our shelter with 2 littermates. He looks to be a pug that got mixed up with a large breed dog - very unique and nothing we've seen before! He looks like someone hit the "randomizer" option when building this boy. :) He has grown to a hefty 45 lbs, but still remains quite short and stocky. We know someone's out there who would love to have a giant pug! He was adopted as a pup, and unfortunately didn't receive the proper housetraining required for a puppy, so he still is working on that. He is back with us due to his family not being able to provide the proper care and training, as they did not have the time. He spent all his alone time in a crate, so we hope to find a home where he doesn't have to be in one again, and he receives the attention he deserves.He has many good marks on his record that they learned while he was in their home - he is a lovely, social boy who gets along with everyone, and he has many good experiences playing with other dogs his size. He loves a good car ride, and he enjoys a little off-leash running time at the local dog park. He is great on leash for walks as well. His favorite activities include playing fetch, snuggling with his people, and playing with rope toys. Though his training isn't complete, he has been taught commands such as "sit," "lie down," and "paw." $350.00 adoption fee for this great boy. He is vaccinated, microchipped, and neutered.

Story
This pretty face is Freya! She is about 6-8 months old and appears to be a Chihuahua/Pug mix (lovingly called a "chug"). She's a great size at only 21 lbs. Sadly, she had to be rehomed due to a new baby in the home. She's a wonderful girl though, and has good experiences with other dogs and children as young as 9. Freya has some pretty great manners, and shes smart and food-driven! She mastered the "sit" command and her housebreaking has been a breeze when kept on a consistent schedule. Freya enjoys car rides in the passenger seat for your next errand or road trip. Freya is looking for a family to call her own for an adoption fee of $350. Apply on our website www.petsnpals.org if you'd like to meet her! Please visit our website www.petsnpals.org to learn more about this amazing pet and to see other available dogs and cats.

Story
Meet Cookie, the 18-lb bundle of energy youve been waiting for! This unique girl is estimated to be 23 years old and appears to be a delightful mix of Pug, Chihuahua, and/or Frenchie. With her stunning brindle coat, long "low-rider" body, and an adorable short face, a DNA test would be very interesting! Her previous caregiver reported zero accidents during her three-week stay, so she likely has a fantastic head start on house training. She had a dog friend while she stayed with them too, so she's be a good potential second dog to an already established home. Just bring them to the meet-and-greet and we can see how everyone gets along! She's been around kids as young as 9 and did great as well! Whether shes zooming around the yard or looking for a lap to crash on, Cookie is sure to be a great companion for a family or solo owner. She is scheduled to be spayed on April 14th and will be ready to head to her forever home on April 15th. We are currently accepting applications at www.petsnpals.org with an adoption fee of $350. Please visit our website www.petsnpals.org to learn more about this amazing pet and to see other available dogs and cats.

Story
Bebe is a purebred 4 yr old Pug. She is a sweet dog but tends to have guarding issues.  She does not like a harness or collar being put on her...not sure if she had a bad experience in her past or what exactly happened. She does walk well on a leash though and is very playful. She will guard her person, her food and her favorite toys at times. So no kids with this little stinker.  Must have Pug (or similar breed) experience.  ****PLEASE DO NOT CALL TO CHECK STATUS OF A DOG...PHONE CALLS ARE FOR EMERGENCIES ONLY. EMAIL US WITH ANY QUESTIONS ON ADOPTION AS WE DO NOT GET BACK TO PHONE CALLS ABOUT ADOPTION. Shots up to date (DHPP), wormed, micro chipped, altered (spayed/neutered).   Adoption cost for this dog is $400 We are a rescue, and although we have a facility in Modesto most of our dogs/pups are currently being fostered  in or around our area. So please be willing to make the trip to see them if you are from out of the area. Our adoption process REQUIRES that an application must first be submitted and approved prior to meeting any of our pets.

Story
Dynamic Danny is a sweet and charming one-year-old Pug mix, who is eager to find his forever home. He is the sweetest boy with lots of love to give. Weighing about 14 pounds, he has a tan coat mostly smooth coat that should be easy to care for. Rescued out in the country along with three other dogs—believed to include his mom, Daisy, a French Bulldog/Pug mix, and some siblings from different litters—Danny is a bit shy at first but warms up quickly and enjoys the company of people. He gets along well with other dogs and is in the process of learning leash manners and house training, making good progress with routines like “go potty” and using the doggie door. Danny is scheduled to be neutered soon but is available for adoption now; he is microchipped and vaccinated. We’re looking for a home with breed experience and to help continue his training and socialization. With his loving nature and adorable personality, Danny is sure to bring happiness and completeness to the right family.

Here is a list of things that should help us answer you in a more timely manner. 1. When you apply please always use the same email address. If we need to look something up later and you used a different email we are often not able to find it. 2. Adopt a Pet and Petfinders ask you to send us an enquiry. This always delays our response. (Why) a. Our biographies are always very detailed. Therefore sending an enquiry asking us to repeat what it says in the biography causes a lot more work and delays our response. b. We are a small non-profit and do not always have the help to answer as many enquiries as we get. c. Again our Biographies are very detailed and if you just click the link near the bottom of their bio you can fill out an application which we will respond to. 3.

For Petfinders ( scroll down to the biography then click the adoption link) http://animalfriendsconnect.org/adoption-application-dogs/ 5.
