Michigan Pug Rescue was founded
in April of 2000. We are recognized by the IRS as a
501C3 Non Profit Organization
The Michigan Pug Rescue would like you to know that a
rescued Pug makes a wonderful companion. We have
found that a Pug, especially those who have come from a
home where the Pug did not receive attention or was abused
appreciates the new home they are placed in. This is
seen in the behavior of the Pug. They show this by
showing love and devotion to their new family
At the Michigan Pug Rescue, we are dedicated to the
survival, care and quality of life of Pugs. Rescued
Pugs come from owners who can no longer care for their Pugs
as a result of divorce, personal health reasons, or
financial difficulties. At times breeders
receive Pugs back from owners they have sold their Pugs to
and turn them over to MPR to find the Pug a home. MPR
attempts to get Pugs from puppy mills. Animal
shelters often call MPR to find homes for Pugs which are
turned into the shelter or come into the shelter through
local animal control officers finding them running the
streets and have no identification available to the
ownership. Our goal is to give every Pug a safe and
happy home through complete veterinary care prior to
adoption.
We do not
have a brick and mortar building where our rescued Pugs are
housed. We respect their privacy of each foster home and do
not allow prospective adopters to visit their Homes.
Once the Pug has been evaluated and treated by our
Veterinarian each Pug is a placed in a foster home. Once in
the foster home the Pug is evaluated for temperament and
personality to determine what type of home is best suited
as a forever home. Each foster home works with their Pug on
crate training, housebreaking (when necessary), and
socialization with other animals.
The success
of Michigan Pug Rescue is only possible as a result patrons
like you, dedicated volunteers and foster homes. To
volunteer, foster or make a donation please go to the
appropriate subcategory under the Donations &
Helping section of this web site.
