Story
Cleo is the sweetest snuggle bug ever. 3.5 year old Pug mix that looks like a tea cup Mastiff. Great with potty outside if kept on a schedule/routine. Prefers no crate time and to prove it she is never naughty when left loose in the house. Good with other dogs and kids. Play time does need to be on her terms, she isn't gonna play all day, too lazy! Cats I would say require supervision. Cleo is very intimidated by new people and barks. She is very vocal when she feels insecure but never shown aggression. She just requires patience and calmness. She is on a medication to help her feel less stressed and is doing so good. Her dream home would be a calmer and quieter house, she doesn't want a house full of guests all the time, but tolerates gatherings of you must socialize. Open your home and heart to Cleo and you will have a permanent snuggle bug/lap warmer. APPLY AT WWW.HOPESHAVENFRIENDS.ORG

Story
Derek the devious 🤣 Meet Derek, a young adult male (approximately 1.5 years old) fawn pug. He has 2 resting faces: pouty or laughing. He is very loving, dog, cat, & all ages/sizes of humans friendly- true to his breed. Derek does not let architectural boundaries come between him & what he desires, be it the kitty kibble that was (🙄safely) secured behind three separate 3-4 ft baby gates, or the recycling that had been sitting on the far recessed of the kitchen countertop. He uses amazing “sproing” & scramble abilities to reach his desired destination. Housebreaking is a work in progress, having been introduced to him when he was trapped & taken in as a stray right before Christmas. Pugs can be notoriously stubborn, but they do desire to please, so he is about 75% of the way there. Do you have room for this sweet, spunky guy in your home & life? Lots of love & laughter follow wherever he goes 💕 He is available for adoption through God’s Dogs Rescue. Hurry! He won’t last! My name is Skylar, and I’m a very happy girl who is going to be a big one! I was found walking along the highway all by myself, but thanks to a kind fellow rescuer, I’m now safe and ready for my forever home. I am a total cuddle bug and love spending time curled up in laps—yes, think I’m a lap dog! I’m sweet, affectionate, and love being close to my people. Skylar does great with dogs, cats, and kids, making her a wonderful fit for many types of families. She is crate trained and potty pad trained, and she’s learning what it means to be a loved family member. If you’re looking for a happy, loving girl with a big heart and lots of cuddles to give, Skylar might be your perfect match! Local adoption fee is $350(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $600 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Basement Babies - Coal Did you know that November 1st is a holiday? It is because it is my birthday and we will need to celebrate it every year!! I am one of 5 puppies who were born under a house to a little 13 pound chihuahua looking mama dog. It wasn’t really in a basement but it was a shelter from the cold and wind. Anyhow, mom was a wild child so we came to the rescue to learn to love people and have a home so we don’t have to walk on the wild side. Some of us look like perhaps mom or even dad had some pug in them, as we have some of the coloring or the shorter mugs of a pug. But all of us are 100% adorable! I am the largest pup of the litter and the one who is a beautiful caramel color. I am very sweet and love to chase my siblings up and down the hallway to the room where our buddy, Busy Boots hangs out. She is great to play with and loves us puppies very much! I will be on the small side, depending on what genetic size my rambler dad brought, but I should be under 15-20 pounds fully grown. I get my baby making bits removed on January 5, 2026 and then will be able to go to my forever home. Will that be with you? Anyhow, I won’t last long as I am adorable, if I do say so myself! Local Adoption fee in Texas is $350 Out of state adoption fee with transport and fuel surcharge is $600

Story
Paloma! Paloma is a petite dark brindle female pug, approximately 1-1.5 years old. She was surrendered just before Christmas, after her original owner died suddenly. She is very friendly, happy, and BUSY! Like all pugs, she loves everyone & everything 2- and 4-legged, of all ages & sizes. She is a parkour expert, but give her enough to occupy her on the ground & she is less prone to jump/climb & explore. A little bit of a diva, if she doesn’t get what she wants, when she wants it (particularly her meal or to be let out of her crate when she has finished eating), she will serenade you with pug screams, the song of her people! Housebreaking was an unknown entity to Paloma before she came into foster, so it is a work in progress. This little girl will steal your heart with her toothy grin & welcoming full body wriggles. Put in your application now at God’s Dogs Rescue to make Paloma part of your family. Attributes: Housebreaking in progress A busy, active dog Local adoption fee is $350(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $600 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Two years ago Princess was bought to keep an autistic young man company. Now, the mother of this boy has decided that she really doesn't care for dogs (what the hell!!!!). She called my rescue (Renee's Foster Dogs) and asked if I would find a home for Princess who is 2 years old, weighs approx. 12 lbs. and is a very mild manner girl. Princess loves everyone; gets along wit other dogs; and is house trained. She loves her pink tutu and comes with additional dresses. Princess will only be adopted to people who are home more often than not or where she can go to her person's job. If you are interested in adopting Princess please respond with information about you/your family; what other pets you have; how Princess will fit into your life. The adoption fee for Princess includes her getting spayed at Homeward Bound Spay/Neuter Clinic in McMinnville on a date that I schedule that works for the adopter.

Story
Meet Georgie Pig 🐷 a tiny squish-faced superstar with a permanently happy expression and a serious love for his people. At about a year and a half old and under 20 pounds, Georgie Pig is small, portable, and perfectly sized for laps, couches, and being carried around like the precious cargo he is. We’re guessing he’s a Pug–Chihuahua mix (rescue math is always a mystery), but what’s not a mystery is that he has the cutest little puggy mug, velvety-soft fur, and big brown eyes that say, “Hi, I love you already.” He’s wiggly, cheerful, and genuinely believes every human on Earth exists just to be his friend. Watch Georgie’s video here!! https://youtu.be/RNTI4uDgJ1U?si=FLke9F0Jm6TTxdmJ Georgie Pig has met kids and did great—he happily sat still for pets (a very good boy moment) and soaked up all the attention like a sponge. He loves toys, enjoys a good game of fetch, and occasionally bursts into hilarious, joyful zoomies that will make you laugh every time. When playtime is over, Georgie Pig clocks in for his other full-time job: professional snuggle supervisor. He’s a total Velcro dog who wants to be close to his people at all times, preferably curled up in a lap, snoring softly, and living his absolute best cozy life. If you’re looking for a small dog with a big personality, a squishy face, and unlimited love to give, Georgie Pig is ready to wiggle his way right into your heart!

Story
Looking for a little dog with a whole lot of heart? Meet Ian! Ian is a 1.5-year-old black and white sweetheart who proves every day that a rough start does not define your future. This pint-sized boy previously suffered a hip injury, which has healed beautifully, and his happy, playful spirit never missed a beat. Ian is fun, boisterous, and full of contagious joy. He loves attention, enjoys romping around with his toys, and is always ready for a cuddle when playtime winds down. He does well with other dogs and would make a wonderful addition to a home with canine friends. Ian also loves his food and is happily not picky. He eats from a slow-feeder bowl to help him enjoy his meals at a healthy pace and aid digestion. Medical Transparency (the important but reassuring part): Ian has Diabetes Insipidus, which is not the same as diabetes mellitus. This condition affects how his body concentrates urine and has nothing to do with blood sugar. • Oral medication only — no shots or injections • Takes medication twice daily to maintain healthy urine concentration and support full bladder emptying • Medication may be lifelong or temporary, depending on future veterinary guidance • Medication cost can vary depending on the veterinarian or pharmacy • Needs frequent potty breaks Ian does wonderfully on his routine and is otherwise a happy, active, affectionate young dog. He is looking for a loving home that will appreciate his joyful personality and continue his simple daily care so he can thrive for years to come. Are you ready to give this resilient, playful boy the forever home he deserves? Basic Info: Male, 1 yr old, Boston Terrier/Chihuahua, Coat: Black and White, neutered, microchipped, up to date on shots and preventions, preventatives. Local adoption fee (Texas) - $200 Out of state adoption (includes transport to your area) ‐ $450
