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!

Story
Presley the Puggle!! 🐾💕 This adorable girl came into the shelter on May 19, 2026 and is now waiting for her chance at a happily ever after! Presley is 1 year and 6 months old, current on her shots, recently spayed, and crate trained. She is hoping her FOREVER person or family comes along soon to adopt her. At around 24 pounds, Presley is a great-sized girlie who enjoys going for walks, soaking up body rubs, and getting all the love and affection you have to share. She is truly such a sweetheart. Presley has been around other pups and children and has done well. Proper introductions with other dogs are always important, and we also encourage children to be gentle and loving with pets — no jumping on them or pulling tails or ears. Maybe Presley is the pup you’ve been waiting for! Stop by for a visit and see if she would make the perfect addition to your family. ❤️🐶

Story
We are looking for a loving home for our sweet senior dog. He has been with us since he was around 2 or 3 years old and is now about 11 or 12. He is a happy, cheerful dog who loves to play, cuddle, and be around people. He gets along well with other animals and humans. He can be a little protective of his food at times and may growl, but he does not usually snap or act aggressively. Unfortunately, due to an upcoming move, we are unable to take him with us. We want to find him a caring home where he can spend the rest of his days happy, loved, and able to run around and play. He truly deserves a good family and a comfortable place to call home.

Please contact Cathleen (cathleen.pronc@gmail.com) for more information about this pet.Http:/www.pugrescuenc.com/images/PRONC_Express.jpgFrank is a 6 month old black and tan pug. Neutered, microchipped, up to date on routine shots and heartworm negative.  Adoption fee is $500.00. Fostered in Mocksville NC  Hello world my name is Frank. I'm a busy guy with lots of things to do and see. Up until now I've lived my life in a yard so I don't have very good manners according to my foster mom. She says I'm sweet and very friendly but I have a lot to learn like walking better on this thing she calls a leash and always going potty outside. I am smart and learning fast. I am beginning to like this crate thing better. I sleep through the night in there without a fuss. I will need another dog that likes to play because I'm just a puppy with lots of puppy energy. Foster mom mom also said to let you know I'm probably way too much for those furry things she calls cats and young children.  Must have a fenced yard for playtime and potty. Must have someone that can house train and devote to training.. I am a 15 plus year commitment. I do play bite, I am a puppy that you must train. Puppy experience preferred. Please do not call or email asking if I am available. You need to put in your adoption application on our website  and the foster home will those the best match! We will mark him as adoption pending once we are no longer looking at applications for him. We only adopt to NC, VA and surrounding states no exception  Pugs must be indoors dogs    Adopt A Pet. . .  Save A Life!http://www.apugrescue.org Http://www.pugrescuenc.org Email us:  admin@pugrescuenc.org      June 3, 2026, 11:29 am
