Why are you so picky about who adopts a pug?

We want the pugs that people adopt from us to be with their new family forever. Therefore, we go to great lengths to make sure the pug is a match for the family. Change is hard on pugs, and losing a family they’ve bonded with causes depression, and some have actually mourned themselves to death. We work hard to educate new adopting families about the care pugs require, the potential health issues, the cost, etc. before they adopt. We do require by contract that if, for any reason, they can’t or don’t want to keep the pug they adopt, the pug must be returned to us – not given away, not sold, not taken to a shelter – returned to us. The foster that cared for the pug will be the first asked, but regardless we will take the pug back into the rescue.  We know where the pug is for the rest of it’s life, and we want that little one to be in the chosen home…forever.
