Sweet Pea - Pug and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Coachella, California

Hi, I'm Sweet Pea!

I was born in the desert near a ranch, where my mom and dad were trying to survive while raising our family. There were seven of us puppies, but when two of my siblings disappeared, Desert Paws Sanctuary rushed to help. Even though they had no room, they rescued our entire family and brought us somewhere safe.

Not long after our rescue, I became the first puppy to show signs of parvo. I tested positive and everyone was worried about me. Thankfully, I received the antibody treatment, and within just 24 hours I started feeling like myself again.

Today, I'm a happy, playful little girl who loves being held. I snort when I get excited. My foster family says it's one of my cutest qualities! I love running around, playing with my brothers, and soaking up all the attention I can get.

I fought hard for this second chance, and now I'm ready to find the forever family I've always deserved.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.

The pug is a small yet sturdy breed known for its charming personality and distinctive appearance.
