Story
Chug is Albert. they are saying 11 years, but he seems to be younger, maybe by 2-3 years. They also have him at 22 lbs. He is a Pug and mystery mix, but 100% adorable. Timid at first, but then wants to be your best friend. (not sure on cats as I don't have one) but he is VERY interested in my chickens. Bonded Pair. Their owner passed and they were left at the VC shelter. Confused, scared and separated in cages there. Arrived at fosters home very timid and confused and doubtful they had been with other dogs. But have integrated beautifully and now are playing with fosters dogs. They sleep through the night and are really a joy to have around. The only observation is that the Chug Albert was very protective of his little buddy Emerson. He hovered over him and put his body between fosters larger dog and Emerson for a good week. He's now relaxing much more, but if you have a larger dog, he will need time to know his little buddy is safe with that dog. I have fostered for over 2 decades and these two are pure gems. Would work in an apartment with walks.

Story
Meet Goldfish!Personality: Wiggle-Powered NuggetLikes: Snacks, spins, and celebrating everythingDon’t let the name fool you — this little Boston Terrier mix is no swimmer, but she will dive straight into your heart. Goldfish is a certified little butter bean with the cutest face and the wiggliest happy energy you could ever ask for.Goldfish is very treat motivated, she already rocks a perfect “sit” and is always ready to show off her skills if snacks are involved. Got treats? She’s got talent.Fun Fact: Goldfish’s whole body wags when she’s excited — it’s less of a tail wag and more of a full wiggle festival.Her energy is pure sunshine — the kind of pup who greets you like you’ve been gone for years, even if you just walked into the next room. She’s joyful, bouncy, and absolutely thrilled to be part of whatever you’re doing.

Story
MUST START OUT AS AN ONLY DOG (until successfully housebroken), Hi! My name is Chaco and I am a blue Boston terrier boy. I spent the seven years of my life living in a sand pen to be used as a breeder of puppies. I didn’t get socialized as a youngster, have playmates or toys, get a loving touch by a human, or enter a house. Just sand and a bucket of food. Six months ago, all that changed. The backyard breeder closed her puppymill and the dogs she used to make money were sold. I was bought by a lady who rescues dogs and gets them ready for life as a beloved family member. Boy, big life change!! Food from bowls, five doggie brothers and a sister, lots of humans around, including kids. Noise, laughter, cuddles, chaos, tons of interesting food, manners, learning for the first time, words!!! That’s a lot after no stimulus for seven long years. But I love having humans around and have learned sit and come, human words that apparently mean cookie!! It is time for me to find my forever family. I know someone is out there who can make me their special someone. I am as healthy as can be, have medical insurance, and my only special need is that I am a busy indoor marker (pee on things). Because my job was being a stud dog, I still mark in the house. I do go outside to do my business but still mark inside. My foster mom thinks it is possible that if I were not around other dogs- and there are five here- especially a female, that I might not feel the need to mark my territory. I’d be the only one around. I love wrestling with my Dalmatian brother but I would be happy as an only dog getting 100% of mom and dad’s attention. Meanwhile, I can wear a belly band (or my karate gear, as FM says). This works best if you DON’T have a doggie door (or can keep it closed). If you have a doggie door, I go out and pee in the bellyband, which doesn’t teach me how to be housebroken. If you can give me regular potty breaks and let me outside every hour plus, I would be fine. I love being outside and enjoy strolling and sunning naked but wear a belly band inside. It gets changed a few times a day (pad inside) so I don't get pee burn. Inside, I am all about comfort. I like it best to be near my FM but I am not clingy. Next to is just fine. I am getting used to mushy kisses and hugs she insists on giving me. Now I even give kisses back and love tummy and back scratches. And I love sleeping on the bed at night. FM says I snore like a locomotive but she loves it. Maybe you would too. FM says I should be an only dog until I am trustworthy not to pee in the house. I love other dogs but No Dogs would make housebreaking successful I have medical insurance under Lemonade Pet Insurance through August 12, 2026. Call me at 505-379-2900 if you’d like to meet me.
