The El Paso Pug Rescue is in need of fosters right now. Can you open your home to a Pug in need?

The El Paso Pug Rescue is a new organization with the mission to help “homeless, mistreated, neglected, and unwanted pugs.” They also do not discriminate against age or health. Pugs are a wonderful breed of dog to own. They are small, which make them a good apartment dog, always eager to please their owners and do wonderful with families with small children. They are often called “shadow” dogs, because of the way they follow their owners around and want to be near the action. They also mimic the attitude and energy level of their owners: if you’re energetic and like to run around, so will your pug. If you’re a couch potato, your pug will be a couch potato.

The rescue is looking for people and families that are willing to open up their homes and hearts to a pug in need. If you are interested in fostering for the El Paso Pug Rescue, please go to their website and fill out their foster application. After, email that and a copy of your drivers license or state ID to info@elpasopugrescue.com. The foster application process requires a background check and a home inspection to make sure our pugs are in a safe and loving environment.

Please visit the El Paso Pug Rescue website for more information on the rescue, fostering or to see available dogs!
