Story
This handsome pug mix is the definition of low-key living. Quiet by nature and endlessly chill, Hugo is perfectly content to nap his way from morning to afternoon to evening without much fuss. If you’re looking for a calm, steady companion instead of a party animal, Hugo is your guy. Loud noises and chaos? Not really his vibe. Hugo has done wonderfully in a peaceful home where he can enjoy the steady presence of his favorite people nearby. He doesn’t ask for much — just a cozy spot to snooze and a calm environment to feel safe. He’s happy entertaining himself with plushy toys and even a pillow or two (interior decorating, but make it pug). And while he may be mellow, there is one thing that absolutely melts him…Belly rubs. They are his weakness, his love language, his everything. If your home leans more “quiet coffee mornings” than “wild dance party,” Hugo might just be your perfect match.

Story
Jax is a sweet puggle who has been through a lot of late, but shows no negative signs. He has had to move homes twice in his senior years. Jax had TPLO surgery in 2024 but moves well and is feisty for a 10 year old dog! He loves to cuddle in bed and gets along great with other dogs. He would do best in a home with someone who wants to lavish him with love and have a snoozing buddy for a good nap. Apply for Jax at apply.neshamarescue.org

Story
Kelvin (aka "Cowboy Kelvin" or "Kelvey") is a sweet and playful Chug (a Chihuahua-Pug mix). He is around 8 years old with a tan body and little bit of frosty face. Crate-trained and a wonderful commute copilot, he’s ready to join a loving, single-dog home where he can be your devoted adventure buddy and couch companion. Kelvin is completing heartworm treatment and needs to remain on crate rest for 4 weeks after adoption. He is looking for an adopter who can continue his follow-up care and bring him to get neutered when all healthy! If you are looking for a faithful friend who’s up for road trips and cozy evenings, consider Cowboy Kelvin! Our Editors notes : he really calms down when he chews on bones 🦴 and we do actually believe he could handle another dog in a house , perhaps another pug.

Story
Meet Gucci, a wonderful, purebred, one-year old, male pug. He is truly the best ❤️ We adopted him last January from a breeder here in NC and unfortunately, our situation has changed and we need to find him a new home. It is extrememly important to us that Gucci is rehomed to a safe, happy home where he will thrive. Gucci is HIGH energy and will take as much attention as you will give him :) He loves kids and other dogs. I image he would also get along well with cats, but he hasn't yet had the opportunity. An ideal home for him would be one where humans are home most of the time and can give him lots and lots of love and attention. All he wants is to be with his people! Gucci is microchipped, neutered last October and fully up-to-date on all his shots. Interview and home-visit required. Please reach out with any questions! This dog has so much personality, it's hard to hard to express in words!!

Story
Snookie is a 10 yr old black pug mix who has found herself needing a new home. She was rescued from the Richmond SPCA about 5/6 years ago after her owners had passed and unfortunately, has found herself in the same situation.She is spayed, UTD on shots and currently on Heartworm prevention as well as flea and tick medication. She is a total love bug who impatiently waits for you to sit down on the couch or chair so she can snuggle up as close as possible for some back rubs. She loves to sleep in the bed with you as well and prefers to be under the covers. Car rides and short walks are a fav and she does very well on a leash. She is house trained, crate trained, and her foster mom is currently working on helping her lose a few pounds to make life easier on her.
