Story
NOTE: “Good with” selections reflect general temperament, not confirmed exposure or guaranteed compatibility. Young puppies are not typically placed in homes with very young children. 🐾 Age: 1 year ⚖️ Weight: 18lbs 🧩 Breed: Pug and something with long hair! 🏡 Good with: Families and other dogs, cats unknown 🧸 Favorite thing: Playing with dogs, toys and snuggling. Chewy is quite a character! Found dumped in a cage on the side of the road, he got lucky when a volunteer found him. He had nostril surgery to help him breathe easier, and he's recovering well. He'll need eye ointment for the rest of his life but he doesn't mind at all. Otherwise, he's healthy, happy and ready for his next adventure!

Story
This handsome pug mix is the definition of low-key living. Quiet by nature and endlessly chill, Hugo is perfectly content to nap his way from morning to afternoon to evening without much fuss. If you’re looking for a calm, steady companion instead of a party animal, Hugo is your guy. Loud noises and chaos? Not really his vibe. Hugo has done wonderfully in a peaceful home where he can enjoy the steady presence of his favorite people nearby. He doesn’t ask for much — just a cozy spot to snooze and a calm environment to feel safe. He’s happy entertaining himself with plushy toys and even a pillow or two (interior decorating, but make it pug). And while he may be mellow, there is one thing that absolutely melts him…Belly rubs. They are his weakness, his love language, his everything. If your home leans more “quiet coffee mornings” than “wild dance party,” Hugo might just be your perfect match.

He needs work with house training, he will mark in new places.  Once he gets somewhere stable and has training he will be a perfect little boy.   If you are interested in fostering or adopting Delmer please fill out an application from our website.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.February 12, 2026, 3:11 pm

Story
Kelvin (aka "Cowboy Kelvin" or "Kelvey") is a sweet and playful Chug (a Chihuahua-Pug mix). He is around 8 years old with a tan body and little bit of frosty face. Crate-trained and a wonderful commute copilot, he’s ready to join a loving, single-dog home where he can be your devoted adventure buddy and couch companion. Kelvin is completing heartworm treatment and needs to remain on crate rest for 4 weeks after adoption. He is looking for an adopter who can continue his follow-up care and bring him to get neutered when all healthy! If you are looking for a faithful friend who’s up for road trips and cozy evenings, consider Cowboy Kelvin! Our Editors notes : he really calms down when he chews on bones 🦴 and we do actually believe he could handle another dog in a house , perhaps another pug.
