Crash *Arriving 10/24* D12819 - Pug and French Bulldog Dog for Adoption

Crash got his name after he "crashed" a shelter event so he could join in and play with the other dogs. He's a social, adventurous boy who loves attention, enjoys other dogs, and seems to take life in stride. Even when other dogs bark at him, he stays pretty laid-back. He's just here to have a good time!
Crash wasted absolutely no time finding the toy box in his current foster home, and dug around for his favorites. This playful boy knows what he likes! He's affectionate, energetic, and always ready to join the fun. Crash seems to be a quick learner, too. His foster has already seen him respond to a verbal cue and hand gesture when asked to leave a dog-free room.
He's crate trained and leash trained, and with some consistency and positive reinforcement, he's got all the potential to be an amazing companion. Crash is still working on a few things, including keeping all four paws on the floor when greeting people and getting a refresher on potty training. He's an enthusiastic guy who sometimes needs a little help remembering his manners.
Crash seems like he would love kids, although his energy means extra care is needed around little ones so nobody gets accidentally knocked over during an enthusiastic greeting. He hasn't been exposed to cats, but he may do well with them with proper introductions.
If your home could use more laughter, playtime, tail wags, and a whole lot of love, Crash is ready to apply for the job of your new best friend! He's got the personality, the smarts, and the enthusiasm. All he's missing is a family to call his own.

Crash is from Texas. They arrive in Minnesota on 10/24/2026 and will need to be picked up from the Ruff Start Rescue office in Princeton, MN between the hours of 8:30am and 11:00am. Please plan for their arrival accordingly as we cannot accommodate pickups outside of this time frame.
