You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Bandit, a handsome young pug with an adventurous streak and a heart full of love! Born around May 14, 2024, this sweet 18.4-pound boy was found exploring a local subdivision, charming multiple neighbors along the way. While everyone wanted to help the little runaway, Bandit proved himself to be quite the escape artist, cleverly digging out of various yards in his determined quest to find the action! Bandit is a true social butterfly. His main goal in life is to be right where the people are. When he gets loose, he doesn't run away; he rushes towards companionship! He is looking for a secure yard and a family who will give him plenty of attention and keep him close by, satisfying his deep desire to be part of the pack. Bandit has been fully vetted and is now receiving treatment for anaplasmosis, a common tick-borne disease discovered during his initial exam. He is doing great and just needs to complete his 30-day course of medication. He's on the mend and ready for his fresh start. This resilient, people-loving pug is eager to trade his days of solo adventures for a lifetime of cozy cuddles and family fun. If you’re looking for a loyal, friendly companion who promises to keep you entertained and loved, Bandit is eagerly waiting to steal your heart! You can apply for Bandit at www.adoggie4you.org.  His adoption fee is $350.  This dog is currently in Texas; however, it can be transported to Washington, Portland (Oregon), Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Des Moines, Omaha, Cincinnati, Lexington KY or all along the East Coast. If transported, there is an additional transport fee of $250. We do not transport to Rhode Island or Massachusetts due to their regulations. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 17, 2025, 3:05 pm

Story
Paloma! Paloma is a petite dark brindle female pug, approximately 1-1.5 years old. She was surrendered just before Christmas, after her original owner died suddenly. She is very friendly, happy, and BUSY! Like all pugs, she loves everyone & everything 2- and 4-legged, of all ages & sizes. She is a parkour expert, but give her enough to occupy her on the ground & she is less prone to jump/climb & explore. A little bit of a diva, if she doesn’t get what she wants, when she wants it (particularly her meal or to be let out of her crate when she has finished eating), she will serenade you with pug screams, the song of her people! Housebreaking was an unknown entity to Paloma before she came into foster, so it is a work in progress. This little girl will steal your heart with her toothy grin & welcoming full body wriggles. Put in your application now at God’s Dogs Rescue to make Paloma part of your family. Attributes: Housebreaking in progress A busy, active dog Local adoption fee is $350(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $600 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Derek the devious 🤣 Meet Derek, a young adult male (approximately 1.5 years old) fawn pug. He has 2 resting faces: pouty or laughing. He is very loving, dog, cat, & all ages/sizes of humans friendly- true to his breed. Derek does not let architectural boundaries come between him & what he desires, be it the kitty kibble that was (🙄safely) secured behind three separate 3-4 ft baby gates, or the recycling that had been sitting on the far recessed of the kitchen countertop. He uses amazing “sproing” & scramble abilities to reach his desired destination. Housebreaking is a work in progress, having been introduced to him when he was trapped & taken in as a stray right before Christmas. Pugs can be notoriously stubborn, but they do desire to please, so he is about 75% of the way there. Do you have room for this sweet, spunky guy in your home & life? Lots of love & laughter follow wherever he goes 💕 He is available for adoption through God’s Dogs Rescue. Hurry! He won’t last! My name is Skylar, and I’m a very happy girl who is going to be a big one! I was found walking along the highway all by myself, but thanks to a kind fellow rescuer, I’m now safe and ready for my forever home. I am a total cuddle bug and love spending time curled up in laps—yes, think I’m a lap dog! I’m sweet, affectionate, and love being close to my people. Skylar does great with dogs, cats, and kids, making her a wonderful fit for many types of families. She is crate trained and potty pad trained, and she’s learning what it means to be a loved family member. If you’re looking for a happy, loving girl with a big heart and lots of cuddles to give, Skylar might be your perfect match! Local adoption fee is $350(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $600 (includes transport to your area)
