Story
Max is a smart, funny playful little guy. I got him at Waggles in Greensboro. He is wonderful but my toddler has severe allergies to dogs which I didnt know and I cant keep him. He is sweet and well behaved. He is 6 months old and we are working on the potty training but since Im gone to work all day he has pee pads at home that he uses during the day. Im not interested if making money out of him, I just want him to be at a home where he is going to be loved and cared for.

Story
Meet Sooki! Don't let her tiny size fool you, this 12 pound 2 year-old girl is a whole lot of personality packed into one little package! Sooki is a funny, loving, athletic little firecracker who approaches life with enthusiasm and joy. Sooki absolutely adores other dogs and is always ready to make a new canine friend. If someone is willing to play, she's all in! She loves dog toys, enjoys a good bone, and never says no to a tasty treat. In fact, doggy treats may just be the way straight to her heart. While Sooki can be a little cautious when meeting new people and appreciates a slow introduction, once she decides you're a friend, she's all in. Before long, she'll be soaking up attention, cuddling in your lap, and showing off her affectionate side. Sooki is looking for an active home that can keep up with her adventurous spirit. She loves running, exploring the yard, and staying busy, but she's equally happy to curl up beside her favorite person after a day of fun. She is up-to-date on her vaccines, is microchipped, and her future spay is included with her adoption fee. If you're looking for a small dog with a big personality, a great sense of humor, and lots of love to give, Sooki might just be your perfect match! We only accept Adoption Applications within a certain radius of where our volunteers are based. Currently, we are able to accept applications from Mecklenburg and Union counties (NC), and parts of Cabarrus (NC), Lancaster (SC), and York (SC) counties.

Story
Lokee is a wonderfully affectionate pup with youthful exuberance and the ability to chill once he feels safe and comfortable. Lokee wants nothing more than to be your loyal sidekick! He is well-trained and will respond to voice commands. He is housebroken and sleeps quietly in his crate all night. Lokee would thrive on being your main focus, though he’s been getting along well with the resident dog in his foster home and has had some nice play sessions. Lokee is quiet much of the time, although he will be a protective presence and sometimes barks when he hears sounds from outside. Lokee’s been enjoying being in the backyard watching for squirrels and doing the occasional zoomie run. He is working on his leash walking, but at times loud sounds can startle him. Otherwise, he likes the sniffs and excitement from short walks in the neighborhood. Lokee is continuing to build his confidence in meeting new people. Once he knows you, he only wants to love you. HISTORY Lokee came from a local shelter, where he was a volunteer and staff favorite. PHYSICAL Lokee has a compact body, short tan fur, an adorable furrowed brow, and a curlicue tail. MEDICAL Lokee is neutered, up to date on vaccines and microchipped. He's ready to go to his forever home!

Please contact Cathleen (cathleen.pronc@gmail.com) for more information about this pet.Http:/www.pugrescuenc.com/images/PRONC_Express.jpg ON MEDICAL HOLD Update: I am finally over my pneumonia after 2 rounds of antibiotics. I do have severe collapsed trachea and will be on prescription medication for my cough for life. I am still very selective on my eating so my foster mom is working on that. The plan is for my spay with a doctor that is experienced with dogs with collapsed trachea. Once this is done and I am medically cleared my foster mom will go through all the applications for me to select the best possible home for me.  Ava is a 7.6 year old black pug. She has an upper respiratory infection or early pneumonia, and bilateral ear infections. We are concentrating on making her well. Its hard to learn their personality with they come in sick. Ava was bulled in her last home so she fearful of other dogs. She would be best as an only dog or a home with an older dog her size that will give her space.  Ava will be spayed, microchipped, up to date on routine shots, heartworm negative and current on prevention prior to adoption. Fostered in Virginia Beach, VA adoption fee is $300.00  Pugs most be indoor dogs. We only adopt to NC, VA and surrounding states. Adopt A Pet. . .  Save A Life!http://www.apugrescue.org Http://www.pugrescuenc.org Email us:  admin@pugrescuenc.org      June 17, 2026, 1:23 pm
