How You Can Help
There are two things rescues are always short of: volunteers and money. Everyone associated with CPR is a volunteer giving what they can to make a difference in a pug’s life. Whether you donate time, money, dog food, or anything else it’s greatly appreciated and needed. Many people who cannot foster or live too far away, have asked us how they can help. Below is a list of items that are always in demand, in addition to the financial needs of our rescues.
Virtual Fostering and Donations to Help With Medical Expenses
If you know you haven’t got the time for housebreaking, teething and the rest that goes with being a pet owner but you want to help, Virtual Fostering is another way to show your support and make a difference for one of our rescues. If you would like to make a donation to help one of our rescues specifically, just click the Paypal button below and name the lucky pug in the message area of the donation page. You can even send a donation with your credit card there. Your donations will go toward that pug’s medical care and food. The smallest donation makes a huge difference. We will be glad to send you updates about your virtual foster Pug.
Thank you for your help!
Items we always need:
- Dog beds
- Harnesses-any size-new or used

As always, thank you for your support. Any and all donations are always appreciated. If you would like to donate an item from this list or send a tax deductible* check or money order, please send it to:

Volunteer
Some dogs require a lot of care, trips to the vet (sometimes multiple vets) and attention. This little girl came to us with a broken leg. She was to be euthanized because of the severity of her injury. Her foster family and the vets worked together to put her on the road to recovery. Look at her today, she’s now happy and healthy in her forever home. We’re not sure who is happier, Biscuit or her family!
Foster homes are vital to any rescue and are needed as well. These are the homes our dogs live in while they recuperate and are matched with their future families. We do our very best to match appropriate foster homes as well. A new “foster parent” doesn’t need the responsibility involved with a very ill Pug--it could be overwhelming. Fostering is a true labor of love, but is so rewarding that a lot of people get hooked!
We occasionally have the opportunity to participate in rescue events at places like Petsmart. It usually involves manning a booth and providing information on the group and the breed in general. It’s an excellent way to raise awareness of rescue groups and is a lot of fun. Volunteers are key since some store events have more than one location. Of course leashed Pugs are welcome to accompany their owners!
As CPR grows we are also getting more involved in fund raising. Some ideas are in the works in this area and we’ll soon need volunteers for them as well. In short, anyone with a desire to help is welcome. Also, if you have an idea or special talent you’d like to offer, please fill out and submit a Volunteer Application. We’d love to hear from you.
Get Involved, It’s addicting!
