Where do the Pugs available for adoption or previously adopted come from?

2013-06-10 16:08

We here at Pugs U Gotta Save (P.U.G.S.) receive pugs from all over and through various means.  We contact and hear from animal control and shelters, as these locations can fill up fast, leaving the location to determine what to do with the dog if not adopted from the public.  We also are contacted by people of the public that for one reason or another can no longer care for the pug that they have.  Not everyone is able to care for a pug for the duration of their life.  While we encourage those that wish to surrender to find a suitable home with friends or family, when there is no place to go, we welcome them into foster care.  

 

Lastly, some dogs are found on the street, so during the 10 day wait period we look for the original owner and prepare to take the pug into rescue. It is because of situations such as this that we do not always have historical information about the pugs we receive; however, that's okay because they receive all of the health care and love that they need to prepare for their forever home.

 

As for specific locations, our service area currently is limited to Virginia and, as able, neighboring areas.  We will accept a pug from any location; however, we ask that the pug be provided transportation to the nearest available PUGS representative (transportation services do exist to move a dog from one area to another, if unable to personally transport a surrendered dog).  When PUGS is contacted about surrendering a dog, we may forward the information to a rescue that services the area from which the pug is to be surrendered.

 

If you are looking to surrender a pug to our organization, please complete the online information form at http://surrender.pugsugottasave.org
