Most pure breed dogs have their own rescue group. They begin to advertise in the local papers that they exist, generally by inviting Pug people to a local park for a Pug picnic. In the DFW area, two Pug groups, have picnics at Halloween where owners can dress up their Pugs in cute little outfits and socialize with other Pug people. Pug people are fun people and they love to chat with others who own Pugs. It is a specialized group of people who seem to have their own little inner circles to which none without Pugs can comprehend nor master.
Pug rescue is a wonderful organization.
There should be one in every general area within a 2-4 hour driving range. It also helps animal shelters and the humane groups because they are already so over crowded. When someone has a need to dispose of their Pug, they can call Pug rescue and someone will pick the Pug up. They are usually groomed and put on good dog food. Some Pugs stay in foster longer than others.
