My name is
Pugly!

**ADOPTION FEE FULLY SPONSORED

Pugly joined the FFAA family with 5 other littermates at the tender age of 4 weeks. He had been found orphaned in a shed and had to be bottle fed!

Now a healthy, strong, and energetic young dog who just had his first birthday at the shelter, he deserves to finally be chosen and have a home and family of his own. He's been here for over 365 days - almost his ENTIRE life save the first 2 months.

Pugly is a black lab mix, and just like most black labs, he is full of bouncy and exuberant energy. Compound this with the eternal frustration and boredom of living in a kennel environment while you grow up, and you get a dog who has an explosive burst of excitement at the chance of getting to escape his kennel! However, especially lately as he ages and matures, Pugly runs out of steam in about 10-15 minutes (shorter if someone is playing fetch with him), making us think that once he is in a stable environment with regular attention and exercise, he will be a reasonably calm and pleasant family dog.

He loves going on walks with volunteers, and he LOVES fetch and making new human friends. Kennel staff do our best to make Pugly's life the best that it can be no matter how long his stay lasts. However, we can all tell that he is eager to go out and explore the big wide world beyond the shelter -- the zest with which he lives and breathes ensures that every second that he will get to spend outside the 4 walls of his kennel or his short playtimes outside will be relished with a reckless and blissful abandon.

Pugly is asking for one chance to make a connection with you and show you all of the potential that his eager and loving soul contains. Will you give him that chance?
