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
Please contact Cathleen (cathleen.pronc@gmail.com) for more information about this pet.Http:/www.pugrescuenc.com/images/PRONC_Express.jpg ON MEDICAL HOLD another update: On exam for her spay the vet detected a heart arrythmia. She has an appointment in 3 weeks with a cardiologist. This will need to be addressed and see what options there are for treatment. More to come on this sweet girl.   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      July 1, 2026, 8:39 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. Whether you're relaxing on the couch, working from home, or heading out for an adventure, he's happiest right by your side. This goofy little guy loves car rides and is always ready to be your co-pilot. At home, you'll often find him perched by the window keeping an eye on the neighborhood, curled up beside you on the couch, or happily chewing on his favorite bone. He's mostly house-trained and has a laid-back personality that makes him an easy addition to a calm home. While he enjoys the company of other dogs, he's not always enthusiastic about sharing his toys. Because of this, he'd do best as an only dog or with a respectful, submissive canine companion who understands his boundaries. More than anything, he's looking for a person to love. If you're searching for a loyal lap dog who wants to be involved in everything you do, this sweet boy may be the perfect match. He's ready to trade foster life for a forever home filled with cozy couch cuddles, car rides, and plenty of time spent together.

Story
Snookie is a 10 yr old black pug mix who has found herself needing a new home. She was rescued from the Richmond SPCA about 5/6 years ago after her owners had passed and unfortunately, has found herself in the same situation.She is spayed, UTD on shots and currently on Heartworm prevention as well as flea and tick medication. She is a total love bug who impatiently waits for you to sit down on the couch or chair so she can snuggle up as close as possible for some back rubs. She loves to sleep in the bed with you as well and prefers to be under the covers. Car rides and short walks are a fav and she does very well on a leash. She is house trained, crate trained, and her foster mom is currently working on helping her lose a few pounds to make life easier on her.
