Don’t forget to scroll all the way down and see all of our beautiful pugs in need of a “forever home."

Compassionate Pug Rescue is a 501c3 non-profit, all volunteer pug rescue organization

Our mission is to provide veterinary care, public education, and a nurturing foster environment for any pug regardless of age or condition until they are healthy and placed in a loving “forever home”.

CPR works daily with pug owners who, for a variety of reasons, may need to surrender their pug to us.  Additionally (and very importantly) we work with area shelters and animal control organizations to rescue pugs in need.  We are a completely volunteer-based organization and we rely purely on donations and adoption fees to financially rescue and help all of the South Florida pugs in need.

On the Road to Recovery

If any of you follow CPR on facebook, you undoubtedly were as heartbroken as we were when you saw the pictures and read the story of Faith and her puppies.  County Animal Control was dispatched to a place where someone identified a young pug and her two puppies discarded in some bushes, struggling to stay alive.  They were all covered in ticks, many engorged and weakening the pups by the minute.  CPR was dispatched and immediately rushed the threesome to the animal hospital in the hopes that they could be saved.  Gladly Faith and her puppy we are calling Peanut were saved and are on the mend, recouperating in the homes of generous CPR volunteers.  Sadly, one of Faith’s puppies was too weak from the tick infestation to survive.

The following pictures are Faith and Peanut on their first day out of the hospital.  We’ll soon have both of them posted on our available pug page and we’ll do our best to give them the best chance that someone else would have deprived them of… a loving forever home.

Compassionate Pug Rescue and all of its many volunteers would not be able to do this very important work without the financial help and generosity of people like you.  Please consider making a donation, no matter the amount, to help us continue to fight for these beautiful animals who want nothing more than to love us and bring joy to our lives.  Click on “How Can I Help” above, or on the donation bone before.  CPR is a non-profit (501c-3) organization and accepts electronic donations through PayPal.

We Need Your Help, Again!

Today we re-introduce all of you to Doris.  As some of you may remember, Doris came to CPR a few months ago from county animal control.  She had a tail injury, and as a result the veterinarian had to amputate Doris’ tail.  On top of all that poor Doris has been through, we determined that Doris is blind in one eye.  Luckily, Doris isn’t in any pain, and you really couldn’t tell her that she is disabled… it doesn’t slow her down one bit.  She’s a precious young girl with a lot of love and a lot of life ahead of her!

Where we need your help is in the form of a foster home for Doris ASAP.  Doris has had a wonderful foster home for these past months, but unfortunately her foster family could not continue to keep her.  So, just like last week with Frank and Chyna, we are looking to our loyal fans/supporters/pug-lovers for assistance.  Do you think you could open your heart and home to little Doris?  While she is a very sweet and wonderful girl, the end result of her tail amputation is a bit of irreparable nerve damage which leaves Doris incontinent.  CPR fully supports all of our foster families and provides each family with the necessary supplies to care for their foster pug.  In Doris’ case, she needs to wear cute puggy-diapers.  As already stated, it doesn’t slow Doris down and she does her best to be the sweetest most loveable pug she can be.  So please, if you have the patience and heart to give Doris a place to lay her head until her forever home can be found, , please contact us immediately at or click on the volunteer tab above.  THANK YOU!
