Meet Lumi! 🤍 Lumi is a gorgeous 10-month-old, 15-pound pug mix with the sweetest, softest heart.

Lumi is still learning that people can be comforting and kind, and she’s making wonderful progress. She enjoys being picked up, cuddled, and talked to softly, and she’ll absolutely blossom in a patient, loving home. Lumi is house trained and loves other dogs—she needs a confident dog to show her the ropes in her forever home. She’s a loyal girl just waiting for her forever person to bond with. *Not available for transport out of state. Must be adopted locally to the San Antonio, TX area.

Story
🩷 Meet Junia! 🩷 8.5 months old | 13 lbs | Pug Mix House Trained | Crate Trained | Good with Dogs & Cats Junia is a sweet, playful little pup who wins everyone over with her adorable underbite — people often say she looks like a mini boxer! At home, she’s a curious companion who loves to follow her person from room to room, making sure she’s part of whatever’s going on. Once Junia feels comfortable, she turns into a total cuddlebug! She gives gentle kisses, loves sitting in laps, and adores morning snuggles on the bed. She’s also become an excellent walking buddy — walks are one of her favorite activities, and she trots along proudly beside you. Because she was under-socialized before rescue, Junia can still startle easily and may bark at strangers or new situations. She isn’t fearful — she just needs a bit of patience and reassurance to build trust. Once she does, her silly, affectionate personality shines through. Junia gets along beautifully with dogs of all sizes and does great with cats too! She enjoys playing chase and wrestling with her big dog friends, and even engages with her foster’s playful cat (but wisely gives space to the grumpy one). When no one’s up for playtime, she happily entertains herself with toys or zooms around before curling up for a long nap. Junia would thrive in a loving home with another friendly dog or a patient adopter who can help her continue to build confidence. She’s the perfect blend of sweet, silly, and snuggly — a wonderful companion ready to bring joy to her forever family! 🐾 Adopt Junia today and let this little pug mix steal your heart! *Not available for transport out of state. Must be adopted locally to the San Antonio, TX area.

Meet Audra! 🐾💛 This adorable 4-year-old, 18-pound pug is as sweet as they come. Audra was found stray with an abscess on her back, but it’s been flushed, treated, and she’s now on antibiotics — and through it all, she’s remained the sweetest little girl. Audra has a fantastic personality and temperament. She’s gentle, loving, and so grateful for every bit of care and attention she receives. Her cute pug charm and warm demeanor make her easy to fall in love with. Audra is ready for a safe, cozy forever home where she’ll finally get the love she deserves. 💛🐾
