Adoption Process

If you have not owned a Pug before, we suggest that you do some research on the Pug breed before completing the adoption application.

We do not!

Home Pugs on first-come first-serve basis.We take the matching process very seriously and our success has been the fact that we adopt Pugs into compatible homes.The right Pug in the right home.

We will not!

Place an ill or unhealthy pug up for adoption. We will disclose any medical condition that we are aware of to the prospective new owners. There are some Pugs that arrive at our sanctuary and we have no knowledge of their medical history or the conditions that they were originally homed in.

It is important that you are aware that:

Pugs shed hair 365 days a year no matter how many times you brush them.

Pugs snore.

Pugs are NOT outside dogs, they were bred to be companions.

Pugs can live for 14 – 17 years. Are you prepared to give them a loving home for their lifetime?

Pugs are not very tolerant of exercise, however they love short walks and love to play.

Pugs can be expensive when it comes to veterinary care and it is advised that you invest in medical aid for them.
