6 year old Otis is a shy boy that has not had a lot of socialization so he is nervous in new situations, he quickly becomes comfortable with his person though and becomes your shadow.
Otis is quiet and calm and has done just fine with the other dogs he has met. We have not seen him be playful yet, but once he gets comfortable we are expecting some of that shyness to wear off!
Otis is house trained, but he was marking when he first came in, since he has been neutered, that has already started to improve. With a good schedule and some patience he should have this down in no time.
We think Otis would probably prefer a calm home where he can get lots of attention. He would be fine with other dogs or as your only...as long as you have some time to spend he will be very happy!

At just 1 year old, Donovan is a happy little guy with puppy charm for days and enough goofy energy to keep you smiling. This sweet boy is still learning the ropes of home life, so he’s looking for a patient family that can help guide him as he continues to grow into the best companion.
Donovan absolutely loves other dogs and would thrive with playful canine friends who can help show him the way. He’s social, friendly, and always ready to join in on the fun. Whether he’s bouncing around the house, making new friends, or snuggling up after playtime, Donovan brings joy everywhere he goes.
Like many young pups, Donovan is still working on manners and structure, so he’ll do best in a home committed to consistency, encouragement, and positive reinforcement. In return, you’ll get a loyal little shadow with a big personality and an even bigger heart. He will need a home where he is not left for a full work day and he is not a fan of the crate.
If you’re looking for a fun-loving, affectionate pup to grow with, Donovan might just be your perfect match. 🐾

Meet Chocoflan - the sweetest little companion you could ask for! This adorable pug mix is estimated to be around 1–2 years old, and he’s the perfect mix of playful, affectionate, and cuddly. Chocoflan is healthy, happy, active, and absolutely loves being around people. Everyone who meets him falls in love with his soft fur, soulful eyes, and gentle personality.
Chocoflan is wonderful with other dogs and would thrive in a home with a canine companion to play and snuggle with. He loves wrestling and lounging with his foster siblings and truly enjoys having dog friends around. He also does well with cats. He may try to play with them, but he has never shown any aggression. He’s lived with a child and has been loving and gentle, making him a great fit for a family of any age.
His journey hasn’t always been easy. Chocoflan was found living in a homeless camp in California before making his way to Oregon with Pacific Pug Rescue. It was discovered that sometime in the recent past his tail was pulled very hard resulting in nerve damage called pulled tail syndrome, which occurs when a dog's tail is yanked, causing the stretching or tearing of the delicate nerves and blood vessels that run through the tail and connect to the spine. This damage has affected his ability to tell when he has to poop or pee. Chocoflan can urinate and poop normally at times, but he does have frequent accidents. We are trying out some medications to see if we can help improve the incontinence, but it is likely he will always have some issues.
Despite these small challenges, Chocoflan is truly an amazing dog with so much love to give. He’s affectionate, social, adaptable, and happiest when he’s close to his people (and ideally another dog buddy too!). He’s looking for a patient, loving family who will adore him for the wonderful little dog he is. In return, he’ll give endless love, cuddles, and companionship.

And they call it puppy love… meet Ringo!
Straight from Mexico, this 6-month-old, 10 lb Chug (Pug/Chihuahua mix) is packed with everything the human heart needs: joy, happiness, and unconditional love.
Ringo is very motivated when it comes to treats, toys, and praise, making him a fun pup to train. He already knows that if he sits, he gets a treat — and honestly, he’ll do just about anything for snacks and positive reinforcement!
This pint-sized pup loves: dog parks, hard/soft toys ,cuddles, walks and playing with his foster brothers (though sadly, they’re not named John or Paul)
Ringo has met children on walks and enjoys gentle pets and attention from them. He would do great in a home with calm kids and dogs who can help continue building his confidence and social skills.
He’s also doing well with potty training and crate training so far. Ringo is social, affectionate, eager to learn, and ready to bring puppy love into someone’s life.
If your home could use a little extra love, Ringo is your guy.

We were told Pete was a pug mix, but while we think there is a sprinkle of pug, he is built like an English Bulldog, carries himself like an English Bulldog, and has the stubbornness to match. There probably is some Frenchie in there too, but Pete is firmly his own guy. He weighs about 40 lbs and is estimated to be 5 years old.
Since coming into our care, Pete has had a full veterinary workup including dental, airway, and ear surgery to remove a growth from his right ear. He came to us with a lifetime of untreated allergies that had taken a toll on his ears, and he’ll need ongoing care with a dermatologist to keep them healthy. We’ve done the heavy lifting — now he just needs someone to keep up with the maintenance.
Life with Pete
Pete’s hobbies include cuddling, eating, and playing with a ball or Kong donut. He enjoys neighborhood walks when it’s dry and under 70 degrees, and he will absolutely let you know when he wants to stop or go a different direction — usually by planting his feet and staring you down. He’s treat- and people-motivated, so he can be redirected with patience and snacks.
Pete is friendly to every creature he meets and loves to play with other dogs. That said, his play style runs a little bossy and rough, so he’d do best as an only dog, or in a home with bulldog-savvy humans who can manage his interactions with canine friends.
A few things to know
Pete has one eye and some reduced hearing. He gets around well and responds reliably, but he can't manage a lot of stairs. He’s completely fine being carried and needs to be lifted in and out of cars — something he accepts with full dignity.
He has made real progress on potty training and needs someone who will continue that work with consistency, treats, and encouragement.
Pete is a total showstopper — handsome, friendly, and ready to be someone’s devoted best friend. Whoever brings him home will be very lucky indeed.

Sweet Elsa was used for breeding and being given away on craigslist. We have provided her with a much needed dental, spay, and other veterinary care but we also found out she has a cardiac disorder called sick sinus rhythm which is unresponsive to medication. We are now fundraising to get her a pacemaker, which will improve her quality of life for many years to come.
