Welcome to Pacific Pug Rescue
ABOUT PACIFIC PUG RESCUE
Pacific Pug Rescue is a fully volunteer-run pug rescue with a deep love of pugs and dedication to rescue since 2006. Our mission is to help any pug, pug mix, and the occasional non-pug, in need.
Our rescue efforts are focused mainly in Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. We’re passionate about caring for each dog we take in; meeting both their short-term needs and setting them up for a happy, healthy future.
WAYS TO DONATE
We rely on our community’s kindness and generosity to continue helping pugs. As a fully volunteer-run organization without paid staff or a shelter, every dollar donated or sponsored directly funds veterinary care, food, transportation, and essential supplies.
Whether a one-time gift, recurring donation, a purchase from our Amazon or Chewy Wishlists, or sponsorship of a specific dog, your contributions enable us to provide love, medical attention, and second chances. We’re deeply grateful for our community’s support, which allows us to say “yes” to the dogs who need us most. Learn about the many ways to donate to Pacific Pug Rescue!
APPLY TO FOSTER
Learn more about our foster-based rescue and how our foster families provide vital support to our dogs. Foster homes give our dogs the chance to decompress and get personalized care and attention allowing us to get to know each dog’s unique personality, needs, and preferences. This sets each dog up for long-term success finding a forever home by providing accurate information with potential adopters.
We’re always looking for foster parents who are willing to open up their homes to a dog in need!
MEET OUR AVAILABLE DOGS
Before becoming available for adoption, each dog receives a thorough veterinary evaluation to ensure they're are ready for their next chapter. This includes spaying or neutering, up-to-date vaccinations, parasite screenings, and full bloodwork. Once cleared by our veterinary team, they’re ready to find their forever homes! We regularly update our website and social media pages with available dogs, so be sure to check often to learn more about each dog and find the link to submit an adoption application.
LEARN ABOUT OUR ADOPTION PROCESS
We take the time to get to know both our dogs and applicants through a thoughtful adoption process comprised of applications, conversations, and meet-and-greets. We understand each dog’s personality, needs, and unique traits and aim to make a perfect match with the lifestyle and expectations of potential adopters. This careful approach helps ensure that each adoption is a good fit for all parties involved, establishing a foundation for a happy and lasting relationship.
