Every pug here is spayed or neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and known by a foster who can tell you exactly what they’re like to live with. No mystery, no pressure.
Ready to adopt
A velcro girl who thinks your lap is hers.
Bella came to us when her family moved out of state. She is a classic people-pug: she will follow you room to room, lean her whole weight into you, and snore like a tiny engine at your feet. She walks well on a harness and knows sit and shake.
Ready to adopt
A dapper black pug with opinions about snacks.
Otis is the gentleman of the bunch – calm, food-motivated, and endlessly patient. He would be a wonderful first dog or a mellow companion for a quieter home. He has had a dental cleaning and is up to date on everything.
Senior – fee waived
A gray-muzzled sweetheart for a slow, soft life.
Daisy is proof that the best dogs are sometimes the oldest. She asks for very little – a warm bed, two short strolls, and someone to sit beside. Her adoption fee is waived through our Silver Snouts senior program, which also covers her ongoing dental and eye care.
Adoption pending
All wrinkles, all puppy, all the time.
Mochi is a bundle of folds and zoomies currently learning his manners in a foster home. He has a meet-and-greet scheduled, but plans change – ask us if you would like to be next in line for a young, playful pug.
Pugs come and go quickly, and many never make it to the website before a foster falls in love. Tell us what you’re looking for and we’ll reach out when the right pug arrives.
Start an adoption conversation →We want good matches, not paperwork for its own sake. Here’s the whole process.
Fill out our short get-involved form telling us about your home, your hours, and the pug who caught your eye.
We set up a meeting – often at a pop-up event – so you and the pug can decide if it’s a fit. Bring the whole family.
A quick adoption agreement, the fee that helps cover vetting, and a goodie bag of everything we know about your pug.
We’re here for life – questions, vet recommendations, or just photos. Once a Pug Project pug, always family.
We have no kennel. Every pug we save lives in a real home until their forever home comes along – which means the number of pugs we can help is exactly the number of open couches we have.
We cover food and all vet care. You bring the lap, the patience, and a willingness to be temporarily adored. Fostering is the single most useful thing you can do for pugs in the valley.
