• Please consider your application carefully and complete only if you are serious about adopting a pug and have read the introduction and FAQ's pages on our website.
• Please read about Rescuing an Old Pug here.
• Before being offered for adoption, we make sure all OPR Pugs are examined by a vet, neutered/spayed, current on all vaccinations including rabies, are heartworm negative, and microchipped for identification.
• We make every effort to make our process as expeditious as possible. Please note that every application receives a thorough and complete evaluation.
• Pugs are placed into a family based on the compatibility of the criteria you provide and the traits and attributes of the available Pugs. Our goal is to make each match permanent and this requires diligence and patience.
• OPR does not adopt outside of the state of Ohio, no exceptions. If you live outside of Ohio and wish to adopt a pug then please refer to your local pug Rescue.
