Rouge was originally found by animal control, heartbreakingly she was never claimed by an owner. Rouge came to rescue due to her shy nature as it did not bode well in a shelter environment and she was shutting down. Rogue is a chihuahua/pug mix and we have her DNA to prove it! Rouge weighs about 13lbs and is 4-5 years old. Rouge is described by her foster mom as a soft soul with a cautious heart. Her trust is not just given out- but once you earn it, you’re rewarded with the best snuggles, endless affection, and enthusiastic belly rub requests.
In the home, Rogue is very respectful. When guests come over, she’ll do a polite round of sniffs and then quietly excuse herself to curl up under a cozy blanket. She’s not one for the spotlight—comfort and calm are her happy places.
Rogue gets along beautifully with other dogs, though she hasn’t figured out completely how to play with them. Rouge is also great with cats, and she’s even been around goats, chickens, and horses! Funny enough, she seems to feel more confident around animals than people. That being said loud or busy environments make her nervous. Because of this, Rogue would do best in a home without young children.
A few days a week, Rogue attends doggie daycare, and it’s been lovely to watch her confidence grow with each visit. She’s learning that the world isn’t so scary after all - especially when it’s filled with kindness, patience, and lots of butt scratches. Since coming into foster care, her confidence has grown by leaps and bounds and with that, her adorable sass is starting to show!
Rogue would thrive in a calm, loving home with someone who understands that the best relationships are worth waiting for. If you’re looking for a quiet companion, a loyal heart, and a world-class snuggler, Rogue just might be your perfect match
Rouge is spayed, UTD on vaccines, dewormed, and microchipped. Homeownership and a fenced yard are preferred. This rescue will not adopt out to individuals with unaltered domestic pets in their home.
