Meet Princey! I came to the rescue scared and worn down, convinced the world wasn’t safe. I had my babies to protect, and I wasn’t about to let anyone get close. But my foster family? They were patient. They showed me that trust isn’t something I had to earn back—it was something I deserved all along. Now I’m that dog who absolutely lights up when you walk in the room. I love affection, I love attention, and I’m so happy to finally be a dog again instead of just a survivor. My four boys, Duke, Baron, Prince, and Earl are growing up so fast, and watching them play and explore reminds me every day that I made the right choice to let people love me.

❤️ Personality & Breed Information

Read more about Tacho

Meet Tancho, an adorable 6-year-old Pug with a tender heart, an affectionate personality, and just a little bit of attitude that makes him uniquely lovable!

Tancho is a very sweet, loving, and affectionate boy who enjoys companionship and has so much love to share with his future family. At six years old, he's a mature adult who is ready to enjoy the comforts of a forever home where he can feel safe, appreciated, and cherished.

One of the wonderful things about Tancho is that he has experience living with other dogs, cats, and children. This makes him a promising companion for a variety of households, provided his individual needs and boundaries are respected.

However, Tancho also has a spirited side! While he can live with other dogs, he can occasionally become feisty or confrontational toward larger breeds. His future family should understand this behavior and be prepared to manage interactions carefully.

This doesn't take away from his loving personality. It simply means Tancho needs a family who will recognize his boundaries, supervise introductions, and help him feel comfortable around other dogs.

About the Pug Breed

Pugs are known for their affectionate personalities, charming expressions, loyalty, playful nature, and strong attachment to their families.

Originally bred as companion dogs, Pugs often enjoy spending time close to their people and being included in everyday family activities.

Tancho may share several typical breed characteristics:

Affectionate and devoted: Pugs often form strong bonds with their families and enjoy regular attention.

Friendly and social: Many enjoy interacting with people and participating in household activities.

Playful and entertaining: Pugs are known for their amusing personalities and individual quirks.

Adaptable: They can thrive in apartments or houses when their needs are met.

Occasionally stubborn: Some Pugs have independent personalities and benefit from patient, consistent training.

Moderate exercise needs: Short walks and gentle playtime are generally more appropriate than strenuous activity.

Sensitive to heat: Their shortened muzzles make them especially vulnerable to overheating.

Tancho's combination of affection, maturity, and spirited personality makes him a special little companion.

His ideal family will appreciate his loving nature while understanding that he may need additional guidance and supervision around larger dogs.

Tancho has a gentle heart, a loving spirit, and just enough sass to keep life interesting!

Training, Adjustment & What to Expect

At six years old, Tancho is a mature adult who will benefit from a predictable routine, positive reinforcement training, and a peaceful home environment.

Rescue dogs may arrive with basic training at best, so adopters should be prepared to continue working on house training if needed, leash manners, basic obedience, calm greetings, household boundaries, and appropriate socialization.

Although Tancho is described as affectionate and loving, his occasional confrontational behavior toward larger dogs is an important consideration for his future family.

Living With Other Dogs

Tancho has experience living with other dogs, but he can sometimes become bravucón—feisty, challenging, or confrontational—when interacting with larger breeds.

This behavior does not necessarily mean he cannot live with another dog. However, it does mean his future family should take int

Meet Larry, a handsome 6-month-old Australian Kelpie mix weighing approximately 20 pounds! This young boy has his whole life ahead of him and is searching for a loving family who will help him grow into a happy, confident, and well-adjusted companion.

One of Larry's wonderful qualities is that he lives comfortably around cats, making him a promising candidate for a family with feline companions. He is also considered suitable for homes with dogs and children, with appropriate introductions and supervision.

At just six months old, Larry is entering an exciting stage of puppyhood. He's at an age when young dogs are developing confidence, learning household routines, and discovering the world around them.

About the Australian Kelpie Breed

Australian Kelpies are known for their intelligence, athleticism, loyalty, energy, and strong work ethic. Originally developed as herding dogs, Kelpies are naturally active and often enjoy having activities that challenge both their minds and bodies.

As a Kelpie mix, Larry may develop some of these typical breed characteristics as he matures:

Intelligent and quick to learn: Kelpies often respond well to positive reinforcement training and enjoy learning new skills.

Energetic and athletic: They typically appreciate daily exercise, interactive games, and outdoor activities.

Loyal and attentive: Many form strong bonds with their families and enjoy spending time with their favorite people.

Curious and alert: They often enjoy exploring new environments and participating in family activities.

Mentally active: Puzzle toys, scent games, obedience exercises, and enrichment activities can help prevent boredom.

Because Larry is still growing, his exact adult size cannot yet be determined. His future family should be prepared for a potentially active, medium-sized adult dog who will need regular exercise and mental stimulation.

Larry would benefit from a family that enjoys an active lifestyle and is excited about helping a young dog learn, grow, and become a wonderful lifelong companion.

With the right guidance and a loving home, Larry has the opportunity to become a truly special member of the family.

Training, Adjustment & What to Expect

At six months old, Larry is still a puppy and will need continued training, patience, and consistency as he develops into adulthood.

Rescue dogs may arrive with basic training at best, so adopters should be prepared to continue working on potty training, crate training if desired, leash walking, basic commands, recall, appropriate chewing, calm greetings, household boundaries, and positive socialization.

Because Australian Kelpies are intelligent working dogs, Larry will benefit from training that keeps him mentally engaged.

Short, positive training sessions, interactive toys, supervised outdoor play, and opportunities to practice new skills will help him develop confidence and good manners.

Living With Other Pets

One of Larry's especially appealing qualities is his known compatibility with cats.

Although he has experience living around cats, introductions to new feline companions should still be gradual and supervised. Every animal has a unique personality, and giving everyone time to adjust helps create a peaceful household.

Larry should also continue receiving positive experiences with other dogs, children, unfamiliar people, and new environments.

Because herding breeds may develop instincts to chase or contr

Bringing a dog home to your cat

Tell the rescue about your cat: their age and how they react to dogs. A dog who has lived calmly with one cat may still want to chase a cat that runs.

Introduce them slowly. Keep them apart for the first few days and swap bedding so they get used to each other's scent, then let them meet with the dog on a leash, rewarding calm behavior.

Make sure the cat can always get somewhere the dog can't reach, like a high shelf or a room behind a baby gate, and keep the litter box and cat food out of the dog's way.
