LONG TERM CARE FOSTER PUGS
Pug Rescue of Florida & Georgia is known for taking in pugs that wouldn't have a chance anywhere else. Our commitment to provide thorough medical care for our rescued pugs goes above and beyond standard rescue protocol.
Sometimes when we bring a pug into our care, we find out they have a life-limiting medical condition. 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 Long Term Care Pugs.
These pugs live with a real family, sleep in a warm bed, eat the best foods and experience unconditional love. Each is provided with the very best medical care and kept pain-free. They experience "pug life" as it is meant to be.
For these foster families, providing Long Term Care for a pug is a special commitment and these families want these pooches to have the best time of their lives. So, each of these sweeties is working to create their very own Bucket List!
You can help a special pug check off their Bucket List by sponsoring them; please use the link below to donate. If you would like your donation to go to a specific pug, please note that with your donation. Thank You!
