ADOPT A PUG!

As a lot of you know, Jan and I adopted a little boy pug called Oskar in August. For a lot of reasons, Oskar couldn’t live with his old family, and we were asked to give him a new home. Since we had been wanting a pug for ages, we said yes - and there has been absolutely no regret! Pugs are such charming little pups with so much love for every person they cross path with.

As an ’adoptive-mom’ for a wonderful little puggle boy: If you’ve been thinking about getting a dog, I can highly recommend adopting a pug <3

Do you live in or around Northern California and want to adopt a Pug? PROS - Pug Rescue of Sacramento is a non-profit organization that takes in Pugs and Pug mixes from across Northern California that have been abandoned at pounds or shelters, found as strays or turned in by their owners. Then, they place the pugs in foster care in the private homes of volunteers before they are eventually placed in loving, pre-screened adoptive homes.

If you live in Georgia or somewhere in the Southeast (GA, FL, SC, TN, MO) and want to adopt a Pug? SouthEast Pug Rescue & Adoption is also a non-profit organization that aid in placing lost, surrendered or abandoned pugs in loving, caring homes.
