Story
Rosie is female and Riley is male. These sweet siblings do just about everything together: sleep, eat, play, walk, and explore. They are also devoted little shadows who love being close to their people. We are looking for a forever home where they can stay together - and bring twice the pug love. What you need to know about Rosie & Riley: Activity Level & Personality - Both are active, playful pugs who enjoy walks, toys, bones, and exploring together. - Rosie is an enthusiastic diner who eats quickly and rarely questions the menu. Riley is the family food critic: he picks out the best parts of dinner and carefully sniffs and considers every treat. - Both are affectionate lap pugs who like to follow their people around the house. - They are not particularly early risers and are happy with breakfast around 7–7:30 a.m. Compatibility & Behavior - Rosie and Riley are closely bonded, and we want them to be adopted together. - They do well with children and other dogs. They have no known experience with cats. - Both walk well on a leash and have not shown aggression toward dogs they encounter on walks. - They are mostly potty trained and crate trained; continued consistency and routine will be needed in their forever home. - They currently sleep in a crate, although they would probably welcome an invitation to the human bed. - Neither is a big barker, but they may briefly complain when their people leave the house. - Car rides begin with a little commentary, followed by settling down. - Both hear well and respond to their names. Health & Medical - Rosie weighs 17 pounds, and Riley weighs 21 pounds. Both are up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative and microchipped. Riley has been neutered and Rosie was recently spayed. - Both have dry eye and pigmentary keratitis (PK), which causes dark pigment to develop on the surface of the eyes and affects their vision. They receive eye drops twice daily and will need ongoing eye care, including eye drops, for the rest of their lives.

Story
Junior has already overcome more physically than most dogs ever will, but he does not spend his days dwelling on any of it. He is still busy following his person from room to room, requesting a spot in the bed, barking about matters of obvious importance, and generally being Junior. What he needs now is a home designed for the dog he is today: quieter, physically easier to navigate, and with plenty of time and attention reserved just for him. For the right person, Junior offers an enormous amount of companionship in one sturdy little three-legged package. Junior is 7 years and weighs 21 pounds. Activity Level & Personality - Do not let his missing front leg or the number 7 fool you. Junior is still a very active little guy and gets around remarkably well. - Junior is a certified Velcro pug. He wants to know where his person is, where they are going, and whether he has been invited. He follows his person throughout the house and is happiest when he can stay close. - He loves affection, kisses, cuddling, and sleeping in bed with his person. His idea of personal space is essentially "why would we need that?" - Junior can also be a boisterous little character. He is a barker and is not shy about announcing his thoughts to the room. - He is up to date on vaccines, HW negative, neutered and microchipped. - Junior survived significant orthopedic trauma in 2022. His right front leg was fractured and surgically repaired with a plate, screws, and a pin. His left front leg suffered severe nerve damage and ultimately required a partial amputation. Several additional procedures were needed before that limb fully healed. - A custom prosthesis was made for Junior, but he does not tolerate it well. He has adapted to life without it and even uses his shortened leg to help himself with certain activities. - Because Junior relies so heavily on his remaining front leg, protecting that leg is extremely important. Junior has arthritis in that leg, along with arthritis in his hips so he currently takes carprofen and glucosamine for mobility and comfort. His future veterinarian should continue monitoring his orthopedic health and determine the best long term pain management plan for him. - His ideal home needs carpet, area rugs, or nonslip runners throughout the areas he uses. Slick flooring makes him slide and places unnecessary strain on the leg doing most of the work. - Junior should not routinely navigate full size stairs. He is accustomed to small dog steps for getting onto furniture or the bed, and his current family can provide the type he already knows how to use. - Keeping Junior lean and giving him regular but controlled exercise will be important. He still wants to Go Go Go, even when his orthopedic résumé suggests he should occasionally reconsider his life choices. - Junior previously underwent airway surgery for brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome, including correction of his nares and soft palate. - Like many pugs, Junior has some pigmentation on his eyes that should continue to be monitored as part of his routine veterinary care.

Story
Pugsley is a two-year-old Chihuahua-Pug mix—a Chug, if you will. I've had him since he was a puppy (there's a picture included in the photos), and he's a great dog; he just has a problem with going outside to use the bathroom. ​I have a toddler under two and can't keep up with the dog's mess anymore, and it's not safe for my child. It may be my fault because I don't have time to properly train him, but even though he has doggie doors to go outside all over the house, I think he's scared of them. ​He is the sweetest dog in the world and will lay in your lap from the time you get up to the time you go to bed. He'll cuddle with you, the cat, or the other dogs—it doesn't matter. I want him to go to a good home with someone who is patient and has more available time than I do.
