Story
Pumba….if pugs started in The Lion King😂 This young adult male fawn-colored pug strides with confidence & fortunately doesn’t share the storybook Pumba’s gassy issue! He is on the large & tall side for pugs (although he has slimmed down since arriving at his foster mom’s home). He has striking markings around his eyes that would make any eye-liner applying gal jealous. His forehead is a mass of wrinkles adding to his good looks & charm. Pumba’s personality is 100% pug. Happy, active, goofy, clingy, food obsessed, always up for a good time. He gets along with all living creatures of the 4- & 2- legged variety: dogs, cats, people of all ages. Although he came to the rescue with his BFF Timon, he would be just as pleased to be a solo dog. Pugs make great family dogs & thrive in house or apartment settings. Attributes: Doggy door trained. Seldom has indoor potty accidents”accidents” Active Local adoption fee is $400(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $700 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Timon…If Pugs starred in the Lion King Timon is a young adult male pug with a glossy black coat. He does the best head tilts, as if he understands what is being said to him and is considering his response. Actually, he is more likely wondering how to scheme getting picked up for cuddles or how to convince you that he is starving - in danger of fading away into nothingness before your very eyes. Or…there is nothing but air behind his engaging brown eyes. 🤣 Despite his protests, Timon is chonky & needs to continue his weight loss journey for optimal health. This won’t be too difficult as, like most pugs, he is quite playful, active, a clown, liking toys, dogs, cats, people of all ages & sizes and FOOD! He will do almost anything to earn a tasty tidbit! Timon is crate trained & housebroken with a doggy door. He has seldom had an indoor potty “accident”. Although Timon came to the rescue with his BFF, Pumba, he would be fine as a solo dog, given lots of attention. (Such a hardship!) Pugs make great family dogs & will thrive in an apartment or house. Are you ready to make Timon part of your family? Attributes: Housebroken with doggy door Active Local adoption fee is $400(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $700 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Are you ready for Cronk? Cronk is a young adult male pug, almost sable in coloration. He came to the rescue from Laredo where he had a rough life, likely used for back yard breeding. Having now been neutered, as the hormones fade from his system, he will be able to focus with greater ease on other activities. He loves to cuddle, loves to eat, likes toys. He is a happy, sweet boy. He is crate trained & is 80-90% housebroken with a doggy door- quite an accomplishment as he was likely crated except when used as a stud. Although he is dog and cat friendly & loves all people of all ages, he would likely do best as a solo dog given his abusive past. Open up your heart & home to this gorgeous & sweet little pug, so deserving of a loving “furever” home for the next chapter of his life. Attributes: 80-90% housebroken with doggy door Dog & cat friendly, but would likely do best as solo dog Active Local adoption fee is $400(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $700 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Meet Moose! If you’re looking for a fun-loving, energetic little sidekick, Moose might just be your guy! This adorable 25 lb. Frenchie/Pug mix is packed with personality, zoomies, and enough cuteness to get away with almost anything. Moose can be a little shy when he first meets you and may need a moment to decide that you’re his kind of people. But once he warms up, you’ll see the sweet, cuddly, affectionate guy hiding underneath that initial hesitation. When Moose gets really excited, he has a funny little way of saying, “PAY ATTENTION TO ME!” — he’ll jump up and give your hands some enthusiastic little nips. They aren’t painful or aggressive, but because he can get a little mouthy when he’s excited, we think a home with older, dog-savvy children 8 and over would be the best fit for him. And when it comes to other dogs? Moose is a social butterfly! He does wonderfully with both big and small dogs and would love having a canine friend to play with. We haven’t cat-tested him just yet but we can if your home has any feline friends for him to play with. More than anything, Moose wants to be wherever you are. Going for a car ride? He’s in. Running errands? He’s ready. Watching TV on the couch? He’ll happily be your cuddle buddy. He’s the kind of dog who wants to be included in all of life’s adventures. Once Moose decides you’re his person, prepare yourself for a tiny, goofy, energetic shadow with a whole lot of love to give. If you’re looking for a fun companion who will keep you laughing, keep you moving, and then curl up beside you at the end of the day, Moose is ready to meet you! Moose's adoption fee is $295 and he's neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. Apply to meet Moose today!

She is working on potty training but isn’t there yet although she does well with the pee pads at night.The biggest problem with Penny is that she absolutely cannot stand her feet being touched, making nail trims difficult.Other than that, Penny is our love and excited about everything in her world.

Story
Popeye and Olive Oil have perfected the art of doing life side by side- preferably from the comfort of a recliner, with one pug tucked on each side of their favorite person! These adorable little couch potatoes are estimated to be around five years old, and they come as a set. They have spent their entire lives together, are deeply bonded and are available for adoption only as a pair. Fortunately, making room for both is easy when all they really want is love, treats and a cozy place to land. Go watch Popeye and Olive Oil on YouTube in “Popeye & Olive Oil | Twice the Pug, Twice the Love” and see this sweet little duo enjoying life exactly as they like it- together. https://youtu.be/g7sy5l7mLf8 Popeye and Olive Oil are fostered in a loving home with dogs of all shapes and sizes, from small companions to big older dogs. They get along well with the whole crew, although their naturally relaxed energy makes them happiest around dogs who also appreciate a peaceful pace. They are not looking to organize the neighborhood Olympics. Their idea of a perfect evening involves a soft seat, a good show and a person positioned conveniently close. They are also wonderful with cats. Popeye and Olive Oil have lived with feline friends before and were completely respectful when introduced to our house cat- even while he was feeling particularly feisty and putting their manners to the test. These two handled him beautifully and made it very clear that they had no interest in creating any drama. Both are good car riders once their tiny legs receive a little assistance getting aboard. Neither has much jump behind them, so a quick boost is appreciated. After that, they are happy to settle in and enjoy the ride together. More than anything, Popeye and Olive Oil are easy, affectionate little companions who simply want to be included. They bring twice the sweet faces, twice the pug charm and a perfectly matched pair of warm bodies for anyone whose recliner currently feels a little too empty. Popeye and Olive Oil are available only as a bonded pair. Apply today using the application link below, and contact their adoption coordinator with any questions about bringing this lovable duo home together.

Here's looking at you, Lucky! This adventurous boy is ready to charm his way into your heart and home. Lucky didn't have the easiest start in life, but his resilience and playful spirit shine through. With a bright smile and a heart full of love, this 3-year-old Bulldog/Pitbull mix is a bundle of fun and affection, weighing in at a perfect 34 pounds. Lucky is a people-person, or should we say, dog-person? He adores belly rubs and will happily soak up all the love and attention you can give. But don't be fooled by his cuddly side; Lucky is also an explorer at heart. He's always up for a walk, a game, or a new adventure. Lucky is also quite the trained professional, mastering kennel and leash skills with ease. He's the whole package: an adventure buddy and a cuddle companion all in one! Lucky gets along with bigger dogs that he can't intimidate, but his strong prey drive makes squirrels and cats a bit too tempting. However, with people, he's a loyal and affectionate friend. Lucky is vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped, so he's all set to join your family. If you're seeking a playful and loving companion to share life's adventures, look no further than Lucky. He's a true charmer with a bright spirit, and he can't wait to bring some fun and laughter into your home.
