♥︎ From Foster to Forever: Archie’s Happy Ending

Archie found his perfect forever family! They’re long-time pug lovers with a beloved ‘grand-pug,’ and the moment Archie met her, it was love at first snuggle. Now he’s surrounded by a family who cherishes him completely—and he’s already living his best, cuddly life.

Mr. Bean / Bohdi

♥︎ From Bean to Bohdi, the fastest foster with the happiest ending!

Mr. Bean’s stay with us was the quickest foster we’ve ever had—his joyful spirit won hearts instantly! He’s now living his best life with his new family and his pug brother, Gizmo. With a fresh new name, Bohdi, he’s already bringing so much love, laughter, and soft cuddles into his forever home. We’re so happy this sweet boy found exactly where he belongs.

Rocco

♥︎ Rocco the Jet-Setting Gentleman

Rocco, our sweet older gentleman, arrived to us by ferry and left like a true star—flying by private plane to his forever home in Idaho. Gentle, loving, and always ready for a good walk, he embraced every moment of his foster journey with grace. Now he’s living his best life with a family who adores him, proving that it’s never too late for a happily-ever-after. This distinguished pug knew how to travel—and he knew how to ‘pug’ even better.

Lunabelle

♥︎ Lunabelle found her perfect happily-ever-after!

She’s now the leading lady in a loving home with a wonderful mom and daughter—and two pug brothers to keep her company. After bringing joy and balance back to a family who missed having a little girl around, our beautiful moon shines brighter than ever in her new grumble.

Billy The Kid

♥︎ Best possible outcome ever!

Billy’s original foster called and wanted him back, but for keepsakes! This angel of a human saved him from a bad place. Once she gave him over to us she realized how much she and her pug Harriet missed his energy in the house. I mean, with a face like that, I don’t blame her! I love when the universe does its magic.

Bohdi

♥︎ B-O-D-H-I, Bodhi’s bold and full of pride! Sweet and strong, he’ll steal your heart—adopt this boy and make a start!

I am a super sweet Frenchie boy with a big personality, looking for that special someone who will love me forever, unconditionally. My back legs are starting to give me some trouble, so stairs are a challenge, but my curiosity and love for life aren’t slowing down! I still walk without assistance, and I come with a wheelchair and plenty of supplies to help with my needs. I’m hoping to find a kind angel who has experience with pets like me or is willing to learn. Physical therapy might help slow my condition, and I’d do best in a home with carpeting.

Benito / Benny / Ben

♥︎ Winner of the ‘Greatest Smile’ Contest!!

Hi, I’m Benny— also known as Ben/Benito! I’m a 1-year-old pug with an unforgettable underbite and a heart full of love. I found my fur-ever family, and now I’m living my happiest pug life with two amazing humans and a cat who’s slowly becoming my best buddy (or so I hope!). When I’m not napping or snuggling, I’m spreading joy everywhere I go. Life is paws-itively perfect, and I couldn’t be more grateful! 💛

Houdini

♥︎ You never forget your first love/ foster. It’s the one that changes you, that teaches you how deep your heart can go.

Houdini came into our care after being dropped off at the shelter with the intention of being euthanized due to his age. Thankfully, the shelter doctor saw how active and full of life he still was and reached out for help. Houdini is such a sweet and lovable boy! He enjoys running around the yard, going for walks, and curling up on the couch to watch TV. Although he has no teeth and may be a little hard of hearing, it doesn’t slow him down—his vibrant personality and loving nature shine through. He gets along well with everyone and would be a perfect addition to almost any family. We were so happy to see him find a forever home with a friend, and I’m lucky enough to still get to see him from time to time!
