Ottis

Michelle Threadgill — Thu, 05 Feb 2026 16:44:36 +0000

1 year old male

Story

One-year-old Ottis is a lively, fawn boy with boundless energy and even bigger heart. Tall, lean, and always on the move, he’s a playful whirlwind who loves fetch, toys of every kind, and any creature willing to play—dogs, cats, humans… everyone is invited. In the evenings, Ottis flips the switch from athlete to cuddlebug and will happily shower you with kisses (he’s very generous with them!). Ottis is mostly house-trained and finds a consistent routine and belly bands helpful during training. He’s crate-trained and does great although he prefers sleeping in bed with his people. He walks well on leash, eats enthusiastically, and enjoys mealtime best when fed separately. Ottis can play a little rough due to his youthful enthusiasm, but he responds well to gentle reminders. Ottis would thrive in an active home with teens or older kids and a playful companion—or humans ready to keep up with his fun-loving spirit. If you’re looking for a sweet, high-energy adventurer who plays hard and loves harder, Ottis is ready to explore life with you!

Coco 2026

Michelle Threadgill — Thu, 29 Jan 2026 21:03:45 +0000

3 month old female

Story

Three-month-old Coco 2026 is a playful girl with a sweet, outgoing personality and just a dash of puppy sass. Friendly and confident, she enjoys exploring her world, playing with her dog friends, and keeping herself busy with chew sticks and teething toys. Coco isn’t a Velcro pup—she’s independent enough to entertain herself—but she still loves being part of the action. Coco is puppy pad trained and making progress with house training. She’s a not a fan of the crate or being alone just yet, and leash training hasn’t started—but she’s a puppy and still learning. At night, she happily sleeps cuddled up with her foster’s son. Coco loves other dogs and thrives with playful companions. She’d do best in a home with another dog or an active family where someone is around often to keep her engaged. Older kids would likely be a great match as she’s still learning puppy manners. If you’re looking for a fun, confident puppy with personality for days, Coco 2026 is ready to grow up by your side!

Raylina

Michelle Threadgill — Tue, 20 Jan 2026 19:33:26 +0000

3 year old female

Story

Three-year-old Raylina is a happy girl with a big personality and a loyal, people-loving heart. This energetic little tank loves being near her humans, playing tug-of-war, wrestling on the floor, and helping you in the garden or on a daily walk. She also enjoys car rides and makes a great TV-watching buddy. Raylina is very well house-trained, has excellent mealtime manners, and walks nicely on a leash. She’s crate-trained and goes in with gentle encouragement, sleeping comfortably in a crate or dog bed (with the occasional couch crash). Raylina would thrive as an only dog in an adult home or one with older children, where she can soak up all the attention and enjoy structured play. She prefers being the star of the show and feels most relaxed without other pets. If you’re looking for a fun-loving, devoted companion with muscle, spunk, and heart, Raylina is ready to be your one-and-only!

Voldemort

Michelle Threadgill — Mon, 19 Jan 2026 01:20:15 +0000

9 week old male

Story

Nine-week-old Voldemort—affectionately called Morty—is a lively baby boy with a bold, adventurous spirit and a feisty streak that makes him extra fun. He enjoys wrestling with his siblings, pouncing on small stuffies, chewing puppy bones, and confidently exploring everything around him. Morty is a classic puppy: play hard, eat well, nap hard, repeat. As a young pup, Morty is not yet house-trained and does not mark. He eats well, is not food aggressive, and currently sleeps in a puppy pen with his siblings, where he’s learning good canine social skills. Leash training will come later as he grows. He loves toys and happily shares during playtime. Morty would thrive in a home ready for puppy adventures, training, and patience. He’ll do best with people who are home often and can help guide him as he grows. If you’re ready for confidence, curiosity, and puppy antics, Morty is ready to cast his own spell on your heart!

Dumbledore

Michelle Threadgill — Mon, 19 Jan 2026 01:16:34 +0000

9 week old male

Story

Nine-week-old Dumbledore is a playful boy with a rich black coat and the perfect mix of effortless charm and puppy curiosity. He enjoys wrestling with his siblings, pouncing on small stuffies, chewing on puppy bones, and then happily crashing for a nap. True to his age, Dumbledore is living his best puppy life—eat, play, sleep, repeat! Dumbledore is not yet house-trained (he’s still a baby!) and does not mark. He eats well, is not food aggressive, and currently sleeps in a puppy pen with his siblings, where he’s learning good social skills. Leash training will come later as he grows. He loves toys and happily shares with his littermates. Dumbledore would do best in a home ready for all things puppy—training, patience, and plenty of playtime.

If you’re ready for puppy antics, cuddles, and lots of laughs, Dumbledore is ready to cast a spell on your heart!

Nino

Michelle Threadgill — Fri, 16 Jan 2026 17:37:06 +0000

5 month old male

Story

Five-month-old Nino is an energetic, fawn boy bursting with puppy joy and personality. Playful and affectionate, he loves bouncing around the house, playing fetch, and going all-in on tug-of-war—then happily settling in for cuddles once he’s worn himself out. Everything is an adventure for Nino, and his happy enthusiasm is contagious. Nino is doing great with house training, with only a few minor puppy accidents. He’s crate-trained, has good mealtime manners, and walks on leash—though he may pull a bit because, well… he’s a puppy! Toys are a huge favorite, especially anything he can chew on or use for a good game of tug. Nino would thrive in an active home where someone has time for play, training, and continued puppy guidance. He could do well as an only dog with lots of attention or with another playful canine friend. Because he’s bouncy and plays rough, he’s best suited for a home with older kids. If you’re ready for puppy energy, laughter, and lots of love, Nino is ready to bounce straight into your heart!

She walks nicely on a leash, has polite mealtime manners, and prefers cozy bed snuggles over crates. Merrilee gets along well with other dogs and does best with older kids in a calm home.

Albert

Michelle Threadgill — Mon, 12 Jan 2026 22:35:06 +0000

1 year old male

Story

One-year-old Albert is a playful, white boy with a big personality and classic Velcro-pug charm. Silly, smart, and full of joy, he enjoys turning just about everything into a game—whether that’s tug-of-war, chase, or showing off his growing list of commands. Albert loves toys and bones, happily shares, then steals them back to keep the fun going. He’s food-motivated and gets adorably excited at mealtime (just enthusiastic!). Albert is house-trained but needs the occasional reminder to go outside, crate-trained, walks well on a leash, and sleeps in his crate at night. He knows basic commands like sit, stay, and come, and picks up training quickly. He’s energetic and affectionate, equally happy playing hard or snuggling in your lap to watch your favorite show. Albert would do best with another playful canine companion and in a home where someone is around often to keep him engaged. He’s good with kids, though his enthusiasm may be best for older children. If you’re looking for a clever, fun-loving sidekick who brings laughter and cuddles in equal measure, Albert is ready to be your new best friend!

Daphne 2025

Michelle Threadgill — Wed, 07 Jan 2026 16:19:55 +0000

3 year old female

Story

3-year-old Daphne 2025 is a playful, apricot pug mix with classic Velcro-pug devotion and a heart full of joy. Energetic and affectionate, she loves being wherever her people are—whether that’s trotting behind you around the house, supervising yard time, or curling up close for cuddles. Daphne’s sweet expression (complete with an irresistibly adorable underbite!) makes even her everyday moments even more charming. Daphne is working on house training, walks nicely on a leash, and is crate trained—but will happily vote for sleeping in bed if given the option. At mealtime, she prefers her own space and sometimes pulls her food out of her bowl to eat. Toys are a big hit with this spunky gal; pig ears and tennis balls are her favorite. Daphne enjoys wrestling other dogs, though she likes to take the lead and does best with slow introductions. She would be happiest as the only dog in a home where someone is around often. If you’re looking for a fun-loving, affectionate shadow, Daphne 2025 is ready for you!

Little Richard

Michelle Threadgill — Wed, 07 Jan 2026 15:54:13 +0000

8 month old male

Story

8-month-old Little Richard is a playful, fawn male pug bursting with joyful puppy energy and charm. He enjoys wrestling, tug-of-war, and tag with his dog friends, running around with kids, and staying close to his humans—whether that’s snuggling on the couch, supervising dinner prep from your feet, or asking you to join him outside for potty breaks. His adorable underbite only adds to his irresistible personality. Little Richard is house-trained, shares toys graciously and has lovely mealtime manners—he eats politely, takes treats gently. He’s crate-trained and improving each night, walks nicely on a leash, and is already learning “sit” and “come.” Toys are a big favorite, especially stuffies and chewers. Little Richard does great with other dogs and children of all ages. He could be an only dog if someone is home often but would also thrive with a playful canine companion. If you’re ready for puppy kisses, playful antics, and a loyal little shadow, Little Richard is ready to rock his way into your heart!

Neo

Michelle Threadgill — Tue, 06 Jan 2026 18:09:49 +0000

3.5 year old male

Story

3.5-year-old Neo is a laid-back, fawn male pug with world-class Velcro skills and a gentle, affectionate temperament. A little heartbeat at your feet, he’ll stick by your side, whether you’re typing away at the computer or binge-watching your favorite show. His favorite pastimes include snuggling in bed with his people, going on walks, and occasionally picking a favorite stuffed, squeaker-less toy to proudly carry around. Neo is working on house training and wears a belly band indoors so he can’t leave his “autograph” around the house. He’s eager to please, walks politely on a leash, has excellent mealtime manners, and dines well alongside other dogs. Neo truly thrives with canine companionship and would be happiest in a home with another friendly dog and people who are home often. If you’re looking for a devoted shadow who promises lifelong loyalty (and bedtime cuddles), Neo may be your perfect match.

Kamilla

Michelle Threadgill — Thu, 01 Jan 2026 23:26:39 +0000

6 year old female

Story

6-year-old Kamilla is a friendly, fawn female pug with a curious spirit and a heart full of sweetness. She enjoys playing with toys—especially plushies—and loves pulling every toy out of the basket, with her beloved “lammy” always at the top of the list. Kamilla also enjoys a good game of fetch and exploring in the backyard. Kamilla is house-trained, not a fan of crates, patient at mealtime and does a joyful little spin on her back legs when her bowl is coming down. Kamilla walks well on a leash once her harness is on, though she doesn’t enjoy it going over her head. She is great with dogs and barks at cats. Kamilla would do well in a home with adults or gentle children and could be happy as an only dog, though she may feel more relaxed with another friendly pug. If you’re searching for a gentle, affectionate pug who’s ready to settle into her forever home, Kamilla may be just the one.

Yankey

Michelle Threadgill — Thu, 01 Jan 2026 23:18:15 +0000

3.5 year old male

Story

Three-and-a-half-year-old Yankey is a playful, fawn male pug with a big heart and an even bigger love for people. He’s energetic when it’s time to play, happily chewing on plush toys or romping with his dog friends, but he’s just as content being lazy and cuddly by your side. Simply being near his person makes Yankey happiest. Yankey is nearly fully house-trained, with about 90% success, and is making excellent strides towards eliminating marking altogether. He’s food-motivated, eats enthusiastically at mealtime, and walks well on leash once he gets his initial excitement out. Yankey is not a fan of crates but loves other dogs and adjusts his play style beautifully. He’d thrive in a home with a friendly, canine buddy but could also be happy as an only dog if he has regular social outlets and plenty of human companionship. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate companion who brings joy just by being near you, Yankey might be just for you!

Rubble

Renee Nelson — Thu, 01 Jan 2026 22:57:59 +0000

1 year old male

Story

One-year-old Rubble is a charming, fawn male pug with a sweet spirit and a whole lot of heart. This one-eyed cutie enjoys getting out for walks and exploring the world, even if he pulls a little at first—once he settles in, he does just fine. He has an endearing wobble and occasionally his front right paw loses footing, which only adds to his unique charm. Rubble is crate-trained, sleeps in his crate at night, and is working on house-training (currently he’s at about 70%). He absolutely loves food and happily gobbles up every bite at mealtime. Toys are another big joy for him—he adores squeaky toys, his lamb toy, and especially the ball he got for Christmas. While children haven’t been part of his foster home, Rubble is social by nature and truly enjoys the company of other dogs. Rubble would do best in a home with another friendly canine companion, as he prefers having a buddy around. A family who appreciates his quirks and gives him companionship will see him thrive. If you’re looking for a lovable, resilient pug with a sweet personality and a special look, Rubble might be just the one for you!

Story

Ten-year-old Tessie is a joyful black-and-white Velcro pug with a big personality and an even bigger heart. Known for her hilarious “Tokyo drift” zoomies, Tessie loves toys, enrichment activities, and playing with other pugs before settling into a cozy cuddle puddle. Tessie is about 80% house-trained, does best with regular potty breaks and prefers a personal escort to the grass. She’s crate-trained and stays in her crate when left alone and sleeps in it at night. She has excellent mealtime manners and walks well on leash though shorter strolls are best for her wobbly legs. Tessie thrives with another friendly dog to play and snuggle with and would do best in a home where someone is around often. She does well with cats and has been friendly with children she’s met. If you’re looking for a happy, quirky sweetheart who brings laughter and love, Tessie might be just for you!

Georgina

Michelle Threadgill — Tue, 16 Dec 2025 17:27:27 +0000

12 year old female

Story

Twelve-year-old Georgina is a gentle, tan senior lady who enjoys cozy snuggles and peaceful companionship. She loves lounging on the couch, curling up in a dog bed with her foster brother, or sleeping in the people bed—and she’s delightfully vocal when it’s time for breakfast or dinner, with a squeal that’s sure to make you smile. Mild-mannered and easygoing by nature, Georgina likes to perch up high to survey her kingdom. Georgina is about 99% house-trained, does not mark, and has lovely mealtime manners as a polite (and enthusiastic) slow eater. She makes sure to get her beauty rest and enjoys daytime naps. While not interested in traditional toys, she adores puzzle toys and snuffle mats. She walks gently on leash for short, sniffy strolls. Georgina would thrive in a calm home with adults or respectful children and would be happy with another mellow dog or as an only dog. She also does fine with cats. If you’re looking for a sweet, soulful companion to share quiet moments and cuddles, Georgina might be just for you!

Miss Ellie and Mr Pugsley

Michelle Threadgill — Wed, 05 Nov 2025 16:05:27 +0000

11 year old female and male

Story

Meet Miss Ellie and Mr. Pugsley, an inseparable senior duo whose love story will melt your heart! Eleven-year-old Miss Ellie is a gentle, joyful black pug who adores her daily “sniffaris” in the yard and cozying up on the couch. She is perfectly house-trained, polite on leash, and loves to show off her stuffed toys. Treat time is her favorite—just remind her to take it slow because she gets very excited! Her handsome partner, Mr. Pugsley, is a sweet, fawn-colored gentleman with a heart as big as his personality. Despite some mobility limitations from IVDD, he navigates life like a champ, especially on grassy yards or smooth floors with his grippy socks. He is house-trained (with a belly band just in case) and happiest snuggled up beside Miss Ellie. Both take Carprofen and a joint supplement daily and are calm, affectionate companions. These two would thrive in a loving, low-key home where they can enjoy their golden years together.

Moka

Michelle Threadgill — Wed, 01 Oct 2025 15:34:05 +0000

7 year old male

Story

Seven-to-eight-year-old Moka is a laid-back fawn gentleman who enjoys quiet days lounging on the couch or snoozing in his bed. Once he knows you, he becomes wonderfully sweet, cuddly, and devoted—a gentle shadow who likes to follow his person around. Though mostly calm, he occasionally surprises everyone with adorable bursts of play, especially with a stuffed toy or his foster’s puppy. Moka is house-trained, has excellent mealtime manners (aside from politely barking for faster service), and learned the dog door in just a day and a half despite being mostly blind. He walks well on a leash, though at a relaxed pace, and sleeps happily on the couch with his canine foster siblings. Moka gets along beautifully with dogs, does well with kids, and could be an only dog or join a calm canine household. He just needs daily eye drops to keep him comfortable. If you’re looking for a mellow, loving companion, Moka might be just for you!

Pokey

Michelle Threadgill — Fri, 01 Aug 2025 14:21:44 +0000

7 year old male

Story

Seven-year-old Pokey is the ultimate Velcro pug — wherever you go, he’s right there, ready to be your loyal sidekick. This lovable 15-pound fawn boy is equal parts playful and affectionate. He enjoys zoomies and tug-of-war with his pug pals but is just as happy cuddling up with his favorite human when the day winds down. Pokey is completely house-trained, walks beautifully on a leash, and sleeps soundly in his crate at night. He’s a polite eater (though quick!) and loves taking all the toys out of the box to choose the perfect one for the moment. He gets along great with other dogs and is friendly with everyone he meets. Pokey uses daily eye drops and is blind in one eye, so he does best in well-lit spaces. He’d thrive in a loving home where his people are around often to shower him with attention. If you’re looking for a cheerful little shadow to adore you endlessly, Pokey’s your guy!

Peggy

Michelle Threadgill — Thu, 08 May 2025 15:33:23 +0000

7 year old female

Story

Seven-year-old Peggy is a sweet, fawn beauty with a happy-go-lucky attitude and a heart full of love. This laid-back lady adores being around other dogs and is happiest when surrounded by furry friends and her people. She is the definition of “go-with-the-flow” — gentle, easygoing, and always ready for a good cuddle or a leisurely stroll. Peggy is house-trained, crate-trained, and uses a dog door like a pro. She’s polite at mealtime and not food aggressive, though she’ll happily supervise if someone else is getting a treat. She enjoys toys most when another pup shows interest — she’s a bit of a playful copycat! Peggy also gets along wonderfully with children, especially her foster’s young niece. She takes tacrolimus eye drops twice a day and moisture drops as needed, but that doesn’t slow her down one bit. If you’re looking for a calm, joyful companion to brighten your home, Peggy’s your girl!
