WHY RESCUE?
Have you ever given love and not had it returned?
Then you know how a Pug who comes to us must feel. Pug Rescue of Memphis is a non profit 501 (c) (3) corporation. Our organization is made up of volunteers dedicated to the Pug Breed. Since the beginning of this organization we have taken in close to 300 Pugs. We take any Pug into our care regardless of age or health conditions. Each Pug has our promise of finding a loving home that can meet its needs in the best ways possible. We are committed to the Pug for its lifetime. We have had many success stories, but not without sad beginnings. We have seen health problems such as eye injuries, malnutrition, heartworms skin problems, a broken jaw and pelvis and badly rotted teeth. May of our Pugs are known as "owner give-ups" where they can no longer care for the Pugs. Some came from puppy mills and breeders when they were no longer productive. Some are from shelters and we don't know the reasons their owners left them there. Incredibly we have taken in stray Pugs found wandering the streets and the owners could not be found. Sometimes people choose the wrong breed of dog and simply expect things of their Pug that the Pug cannot do for them. The arrival of a new baby is a young family can trigger an owner to give up a Pug. Rescue is for anyone who wants to give a Pug a second chance. Some people don't have the time to raise a puppy. A rescue has already been checked by a veterinarian, spayed/neutered and had existing health concerns treated. Many people who are already "owned" by a Pug find that adding a rescue to the family makes a perfect fit. We at Pug Rescue of Memphis strive to give homeless Pugs the life and dignity they deserve.
