Pug puppies and dogs in West Sacramento, California

Chalupa is a Chihuahua/Pug mix (aka a â&#194&#128&#194&#156Chugâ&#194&#128&#194&#157) with a big personality packed into a small body.He can seem a little amped up at first, which isnâ&#194&#128&#194&#153t unusual given how stressful and overstimulating the shelter environment can be for small dogs. Once heâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s out, has had a chance to decompress, and taken care of important business, Chalupa shows his much more relaxed and affectionate side.He enjoys gentle pets, happily soaks up attention, and is more than willing to hop up next to you for some quality cuddle time. Beneath that initial burst of energy is a sweet, companionable little dog who just wants to feel comfortable and secure.We havenâ&#194&#128&#194&#153t yet observed Chalupa with other dogs. If you have a dog and are interested in meeting him, youâ&#194&#128&#194&#153re welcome to bring your pup to your appointment for a guided dog-to-dog introduction.Schedule an appointment to meet Chalupa at yoloshelter.org/dogs or email adopt@yoloshelter.org February 17, 2026, 2:45 am

Have you heard the phrase, a face only a mother could love? Well, let us introduce you to the inspiration for it. Meet Guppy! This little guy may not have won the genetics lottery, but what he lacks in looks he makes up for in charm. He could be a pug mix, he could not be. Perhaps bulldog? Only a DNA test will reveal the truth. Do we really know his age? Could he be 2 or 7, who is to say? He was born without his right eye, has a uniquely shaped head, a major underbite, and an endearing wobbly walk. He came to us from the California Central Valley with a few other pugs after his owner went into a nursing home without a care plan. Guppy is looking for a home where he can chew on toys, lounge the day away, and follow his person like a shadow. Hes crate-trained, and while hes still working on potty training, a consistent routine will help him get back on track after being shuffled around these last few weeks. He's good with confident cats and dogs of all sizes, but we suspect he would be happy as an only-dog, too. If youre searching for a quirky, one-of-a-kind companion, Guppy just might be the pug for you! He's being fostered in Rohnert Park through The Pug Hotel.

Jack came to us as a stray from the Central Valley and quickly won everyone over with his incredibly sweet nature. He loves being petted, cuddling, and being held, and he is always ready to give kisses. Because his vision is limited, Jack truly values human touch as both guidance and comfort. The vet thinks he's around 3 years old; his teeth are in good shape! Jack has limited vision in one eye, and the other eye was either underdeveloped or closed due to an untreated injury before he came to us. We believe he can see shadows, but he relies heavily on sound to navigate his world. Despite this, he gets around very well and takes everything in stride. He is great with other dogs, friendly with strangers, and unsurprisingly unconcerned about cats. Jack loves his meals and treats, does wonderfully in the car, and is currently working on potty training. If you are looking for a happy, affectionate dog to curl up with and share your life, Jack is a perfect match. He would do well in almost any home and is an easy companion to take along with you. Homes with stairs will need to use baby gates to prevent any accidental tumbles.

If you are looking for nonstop puppy joy, Milo is your guy. He is the definition of young pug energy. Active, playful, affectionate, and social, Milo loves being part of everything you do and will happily follow you from room to room just to stay close. He is still working on potty training, but he is eager to please and very food motivated, which makes training a great opportunity to bond (as successful as pug training can be!). Like most puppies, Milo comes with some classic antics. He jumps up on people, so supervision around small children is important. He also enjoys nibbling on just about everything and can be delightfully excitable. Milo came to us as an owner surrender when his previous family realized they did not have the time needed to properly train and engage a growing puppy. They wanted him to have a home that could dedicate the time and attention he deserves. Milo will be neutered on February 16, and he will be vaccinated, microchipped, and ready to go home shortly after.

Say hello to Remy and that adorable little tongue! Its always peeking out because Remy has no teeth (more on that below), and it only adds to her charm. Remy is a four-year-old pug who came to us as an owner surrender and is now looking for her forever home. Remy is affectionate, smart, and already knows her basic commands (and some fun ones!) Shes fully potty trained and loves nothing more than being close to her people. Right now, shes a bit unsure about the changes in her life and bonds quickly, but that just means she has an incredible amount of love to give. A true velcro pug, Remy wants to be by your side and go everywhere with you. Shes an active girl who enjoys playtime and exercise, especially a good game of fetch (though shes still working on the drop it part). Remy enjoys walks, sniffing around, and soaking up the sunshine. She would do best with someone experienced in leash training, as she can be reactive to large dogs while on leash. While she generally gets along with other dogs, she does show some resource guarding, so thoughtful introductions and guidance are important. Shes been around cats and young kids, but she may thrive best in a home without them. Remy would thrive in a home where someone is around most of the time to provide the consistency, reassurance, and companionship she needs right now. All of Remys teeth were removed when she was young due to some malformations, so she eats softened kibble and absolutely loves her veggies. Bonus: no dental cleanings needed! She has no health issues other than the one that was resolved with the teeth pulling. Her previous family decided to rehome her after welcoming a baby and no longer having the time she deserves. Remy is spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped, and shes currently being fostered in San Francisco. Shes ready to give her whole heart to a family who will cherish her forever.

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 the AFC website (scroll down to the bio at the bottom it says (apply to adopt today- click that link) www.animalfriendsconnect.org 4. For Petfinders ( scroll down to the biography then click the adoption link) http://animalfriendsconnect.org/adoption-application-dogs/ 5.
