Newton Citizen

Mr. Puggles smiles for the camera and he’ll smile his way into the heart of any family who takes him on. A Pug-mix, he’s a beautiful red color and is an adult of undetermined age. He weighs a sturdy 25 pounds and has all the charm that’s inherent of the breed. He’s up-to-date on his shots and would make an ideal family pet.

This baby looks like he’s thinking, “If I can only sit here still enough, maybe the monsters won’t get me.” He’s an 8-week-old Beagle-mix who’s been named Rocky. He’ll no doubt grow into his name and become a rough and tumble little guy, ready to become an active part of any family. He’ll probably weigh around 30 pounds as an adult. He can be rescued and adopted at Newton County Animal Shelter, located at 210 Lower River Road in Covington.
