Navi - Pug and Terrier Dog for Adoption in Portland, Oregon

Meet Navi!

Navi is an adorable 4-year-old, 13 lb. Pug mix with the cutest little personality-and she's also a proud tripod. Don't let her three legs fool you, though. She gets around just fine and has the sweetest little limp that only adds to her charm.

When Navi first arrived at The Asher House, we were told she had been surrendered after reportedly biting a service worker in her previous home. We believe it's important to share that history, but it's equally important to share our own experience with her.

Since coming to the sanctuary, Navi has been around our team of more than 75 staff members and has never shown any aggression toward anyone. She has never growled, attempted to bite, or given us any reason to believe she's anything other than a shy little dog who needs time to feel safe. As she's settled in, we've watched her confidence grow, her personality blossom, and her sweet, loving nature shine through.

Navi isn't looking for perfection-she's looking for patience. She needs someone who will allow her to build trust at her own pace and give her the love and reassurance she's been searching for. Once she feels safe, we believe she has everything it takes to become an incredibly loyal and loving companion.

Navi enjoys playing with other dogs, but she can play a little too enthusiastically for some pups. Because of her rough-and-tumble play style, she would do best as the only dog in the home where she can soak up all of the love and attention. She also likes to chase cats, so she's looking for a cat-free home.

While Navi has played well with many children in the past, we believe she'll thrive best in an adult-only home where she can focus all of her love and attention on her people and continue building her confidence.

She has so much potential and so much love to give. Every day we get to know her a little better, and every day we're reminded what a special little dog she is.

If you're willing to open your heart to a dog who simply needs someone to believe in her, Navi may be the perfect match. Apply to meet the three-legged Pug you never knew you needed-but who has been waiting for someone just like you.

Navi's adoption fee is $295, and she is spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped.
