Saving pugs since 2003
2024 Year in Review
2024 was our 21st year of operation. The support of our donors, fosters, volunteers, and adopters made it possible to rescue 28% more pugs in 2024 than in 2023.
- 165 pugs rescued; 144 adopted
- $299,000 Medical Expenses
- Thousands of transport miles - too many to count!
- 3 flights with Pilots 'n Paws
- 5 pugs treated for Heartworms
- Every foster pug received 6 months of heartworm prevention that went with them when adopted.
- We worked with more than 40 different Vet Clinics/Emergency Vets/Specialists
- Multiple consultations, procedures & surgeries with University of Georgia and University of Florida Veterinary Hospitals
Some major surgeries included: orthopedic, pyometra, mass removal, bladder stones, cataracts, entropion, eye enucleation and more...
All adopted pugs will have received full veterinary care: vaccines, spay/neuter, heartworm/urine/fecal tests, bloodwork, treatment for known illnesses/injuries, dental cleaning/extractions
Every number represents a life saved, a tail wagged, and a story rewritten. You’ve helped us transform challenges into victories and given so many pugs a brighter future.
As we celebrate our 22nd year of rescue in 2025, we’re excited to continue our mission of love, hope, and rescue. Here’s to another year of making a difference, one pug at a time.
Together, we can make an even bigger impact in the lives of pugs in need. Please consider a donation - no matter the size - to ensure we can continue this lifesaving work in 2025.

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