Pug Rescue of Florida & Georgia is a 501(c)(3) non-profit animal rescue. Licensed in Florida & Georgia
Saving pugs since 2003
Perfectly Mixed. Perfectly Lovable.
They may not have the smooshiest faces, but our pug mixes have just as much love to give—and four of them are still waiting patiently for their forever homes. The truth is, pug mixes are always harder to place, even though they make wonderful companions. That’s why we’re asking for your help to spread the word and connect these sweet pups with the families they deserve.
BONUS: Thanks to a generous volunteer donor, anyone who helps one of these pups find their perfect home will receive their choice of a $50 Mastercard OR $50 Publix gift card as a Thank You referral reward!
Are you or someone you know looking for their next best friend? Share their bios, tell a friend, or even apply yourself —you could help change a life (or two!)

HEART For Pugs: Heartworm Education and Responsible Treatment
Every dollar helps us protect the hearts of the pugs who depend on us.
Every pug that comes into our care receives a full medical evaluation—including heartworm testing and prevention. Sadly, many arrive already heartworm positive, requiring long, expensive treatment to save their lives. Others come to us unprotected, and we make sure they never have to face that risk again.
That’s why we created HEART for Pugs—a dedicated fund to cover the cost of testing, prevention, and treatment for every rescue pug.
How You Can Help the Pugs
Adopt
Surrender
Foster
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.

PRFG is a 2025 Grey Muzzle Grant Recipient
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.
