Story
Duke is a 15-lb pug mix who has officially retired from chaos. After surviving many rough years of unpredictability, Duke has decided he’s done with nonsense and is now accepting applications for a peaceful, low-key life where his preferences are respected at all times. And yes — he has a "few" preferences. Duke is firmly in his “get off my lawn” era. He prefers: ☀ Sunshine naps (the sunnier, the better) 🛋 Sitting next to you...or on you 🛏 Sleeping in your bed (or at least in your room) 🚶 Walks, walks and more walks 🏡 A quiet home with no other animals Duke must be your one and only - he has no interest in sharing his space, his human, or his peace. He’s affectionate, loyal, and sweet — as long as you understand that he wants what he wants, when he wants it. Duke thrives with patient, understanding humans who appreciate a dog with strong opinions and a deep love for routine. He doesn’t need excitement or adventure sports. He needs consistency, calm, and a person who can laugh when he side-eyes them. Duke isn’t trying to impress anyone. He’s just looking for a soft place to land, a human who loves him and respects his boundaries, and a forever home where he can live out his golden years as he chooses. If you’re looking for a dog who will happily nap in the sun, snore in your bed, and judge you lovingly from the couch… Duke is ready to move in.

Story
Meet Tugboat! This little man is on the search for his person or family that will show him all the amazing things this world has to offer. Tugboat is a little shy at first and will need time to fully come out of his shell. Once he breaks his walls down, you get to see just how sweet and affectionate this boy truly is. Tugboat would do best in a calm how with people who are able to work with him on his confidence and show him just how sweet life can be. Tugboat has lived with other dogs similar to his size and could do well with other dogs that are looking for more of a casual companion. He is good on his leash, although sudden loud noises may make him a little jumpy. We're sure that his family will get to see just how loyal and loving he can be once he feels safe. If you're interested in meeting Tugboat, stop by the RHSPCA today!

Story
He is a 4 year old chug filled with loves, cuddles and anxiety. He needs someone who can give me lots of love and affection. Someone with no other pets as he does not get along with other animals. He has always been good with my daughter, so as long as the child respects his boundaries, he will be fine. I wouldn't recommend a small child. He is partially house trained but does have accidents in the house, mostly at night.
