Simba is an all-black, 6-month-old happy, playful chunky confident 21 lb boy who just landed from Puerto Rico and is already winning hearts.  He should grow to about 30-35 lbs full grown.   He’s very social, loves other dogs, and does great with cats. Simba would do well in a home with children and enjoys being part of the action. He’s currently learning house manners and potty training in his foster home and is making great progress.  Foster Update: Simba has been in foster care for the past three weeks and is truly nothing short of amazing. He’s a sweet, playful puppy who enjoys chewing on a Nylabone or Kong in his crate, absolutely loves squeaky toys, and is quickly learning how to fetch  If you’re looking for a loyal little side-kick with a big personality, Simba may be your perfect match.  Complete an application to meet him today!

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
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)
