Mission

Rescue, care, and placement of pugs and pug mixes.

990-EZ for the year ended December 31, 2025

Program accomplishments

  • We took 33 pugs and pug mixes into rescue. We provided veterinary care to make sure they were healthy. Every dog receives life-saving vaccinations. Some still need to be spayed or neutered so we do that before adoption. We also schedule costly dental cleanings and extractions common with brachycephalic breeds. We also receive surrenders from an emergency vet when the owner's cannot pay the bill.
    Expenses $43,786 · grants $3,025
  • We purchase food and supplies for all animals in our care if the foster parent does not provide. These include items such as treats, toys, recovery suits, bowls, and non-prescription medicines (eye drops, ear cleaner, chlorhexidine shampoo, etc.).
  • Every animal receives monthly preventatives for flea and tick and heartworm. The also get life-saving prescriptions prescribed by the veterinarian.
