🌲💛 Meet Forest — The Puggle With the Snuggles! 💛🌲
(2 Years • ~25 lbs • Certified Good Boy)
If you’ve been wishing for a dog who’s equal parts adorable, cheerful, snuggly, and slightly goofy in the BEST possible way… congratulations, you’ve just found Forest — the Puggle who brings sunshine, tail wags, and pure serotonin everywhere he goes.
At 2 years old and around 25 pounds, Forest is the perfect “I fit anywhere” size — couch? Yes. Car seat? Absolutely. Your lap even when you just sat down with hot coffee? Oh, 100%.
This fawn-colored sweetheart has a warm expression that could melt the polar ice caps and a personality that says, “Hi, I love you, what’s your name, do you have snacks?” He’s friendly, charming, and convinced that every human and dog he meets is his new best friend.
🐾 Forest’s Favorite Things:
• Walks where he can sniff 92,000 smells per minute
• Treats (your fingers may or may not become “bonus treats”)
• Being included in anything — chores, TV time, folding laundry, life decisions
• Wagging his whole butt, not just the tail
• Making people laugh with his joyful Puggle antics
Forest is housebroken with the help of a dog door, kennel trained, and an easy, happy companion in the home. He floats through life with the spirit of a tiny golden retriever trapped in a Puggle body.
He recently completed heartworm treatment (fast-kill, immiticide), and he’s expected to test negative at his next check — meaning he’s ready for his fresh start, his forever family, and hopefully a spot on your couch.
He’s great with other dogs and wonderful with kids! Cats? Well… they’re still a mystery, but at his size and temperament, he’s likely to be more “confused friend” than “villain.”
🌟 Forest’s Stats:
• 2-year-old Pug/Beagle mix
• 25 lbs of happy wiggles
• Housebroken + kennel trained
• Friendly, playful, loyal, and easygoing
• HW treated and ready for a healthy future
• Good with dogs + kids
• Cat status: to be determined (he's optimistic)
He is currently with a neighboring rescue partner — we work together to save as many lives as we can — and we will happily pull him into Hay Dude Rescue to complete his adoption.
If you’re searching for a dog who lights up every room, fills your life with laughter, and gives the BEST “I missed you for 10 whole minutes” greetings… Forest is ready to join your family and your heart.
