As the year comes to a close, we’re reflecting on the 185 pugs whose lives were transformed this year thanks to supporters like you.
From seniors needing extensive medical care to abandoned, neglected, and special needs pugs who arrive with urgent needs, your generosity makes every rescue possible.
Year-end gifts are especially impactful - they allow us to enter the new year prepared for the unexpected, ready to handle emergency intakes and able to say “yes” when a pug needs us most.
Whether you give a one-time gift, become a monthly donor, or dedicate a donation in honor of a loved one, your support ensures we can continue our mission into the new year with strength and heart.
We have 13 Forever Care Foster dogs on the nice list this year and each has their very own Wish List...but they need YOU to be their Secret Santa!
Sometimes when we bring a pug into our care, we find out they have a life-limiting medical condition or needs above and beyond regular vet care. For those pugs who are expected to live only a few months or have extensive medical needs, they will remain with us to comfortably live out their lives as Forever Care Fosters.
This holiday season, send a little cheer and make a FCF pug’s holidays a little brighter.
It's Easy - Here's How:
- Visit our Forever Care Foster Page
- Click on each foster’s bio to view their Secret Santa Wish List.
- Click on "Add to Cart" next to any item you would like to send to that foster.
- When you are done shopping and ready to check out, click on “Proceed to Checkout".
- Next, you will have to update the Shipping Address: Choose “PRFG Foster - Foster Name” (the address will be hidden for privacy purposes).
Then you are ready to check out…It’s as easy as that!
Thank you for supporting our pugs and the families who care for them!

Would you like to open your home and heart to a pug? The pugs we rescue vary from young and healthy to senior with ongoing health issues, but they all have one thing in common: They are looking for loving, stable homes to call their own.

We rely on the support of caring and committed foster homes to help pugs in need. All of our pugs stay with foster families until they find their forever home. We provide the medical care - you provide the shelter and love.

Your support helps us save pugs in need. In 2024, we spent nearly $300,000 on medical care alone. We rely entirely on donations, and 100% goes directly to medical bills, food, supplies, and rescuing dogs from unsafe situations.

If you own or know of a pug that needs rescue in Florida or Georgia, please complete the online Surrender Form and submit a photo. One of our volunteers will contact you to discuss the situation and help the pug.
The upcoming holiday season is one of the busiest times of the year for our rescue.
While many families are traveling or spending time with loved ones, our all-volunteer team continues to work hard behind the scenes to help every pug in need.
Because of the high volume of intake requests during November and December, it may take 1–2 weeks for us to coordinate an appropriate foster home.
Our volunteers are also juggling their own holiday schedules, so we kindly ask for your patience and understanding during this time.
We will contact you within 24 hours of receiving your surrender information to learn more about your situation and begin planning next steps. Our goal is to ensure every pug receives the proper care, veterinary attention, and placement they deserve so it might take us extra time to find an open foster home that is available to help and the more time you give us to plan, the better.
If your situation is not an emergency, we kindly ask you to consider waiting until after the holidays to surrender. This allows our volunteers—who generously give their time year-round—to have a much-needed break with their own families and pets.
Thank you for your compassion, your patience, and for trusting us to help.
We’re thrilled to announce that we are one of 119 grant recipients awarded funding from the $1.57 million distributed by The Grey Muzzle Organization to support lifesaving efforts for senior dogs.
This critical funding supports animal shelters and rescues across the USA, France, and Nepal in developing senior-focused programs—including medical and dental care, surrender prevention, hospice care, and adoption incentives. This Grey Muzzle Grant will allow us to help senior pugs in our care.
A huge thank you to Grey Muzzle and their generous supporters for making this possible and for believing in a time where every senior dog finds safety, love, and a soft landing.
