About Pugsley

Meet Pugsley, a delightful young Dachshund with a charming personality. He's not just a sidekick; he expects to be the star of the show, preferably lounging in your lap while soaking up compliments about his good looks. Pugsley is house trained and crate trained, making him an ideal companion for everyday life. He rides quietly in the car and behaves well when left alone, so errands can be run without worry. In his foster home, he gets along with both dogs and cats but truly prefers the company of his people. His favorite perch? The back of the sofa, where he curls up like a cozy little bundle. While settling into his foster environment, Pugsley has shown how smart and eager to please he is. He thrives in a calm home with a steady routine, and he’s a quick learner, watching and mimicking the other dogs’ behavior. If you’re looking for a devoted companion who loves to cuddle and share your lap, Pugsley could be the one for you!
