We understand there are many reasons why people cannot always keep their pets and appreciate that they look to rescue for help.
Ohio Pug Rescue accepts all purebred pugs into rescue.
You will be required to complete and sign a Surrender Form, stating all known information about the pug, including medical records (if available), habits, etc. This form will also serve as your legal agreement to permanently relinquish ownership of the pug.
All pugs that come into Ohio Pug Rescue are vet checked, spayed or neutered, vaccinated, microchipped for identification, and treated for any medical conditions before the adoption process begins.
Information that can be provided at the time of surrender is extremely important in the adoption process in order to help make a good match for the pug's forever home.
Ohio Pug Rescue also takes in stray pugs and makes every attempt to find their owner. If you have found a stray pug and want to surrender it to OPR, you will be asked to complete a Surrender Form, stating details about the pug you found.
Surrendered pugs are cared for in foster care in the private homes of OPR volunteers. All pugs stay in foster care until a suitable home is found. No pug is euthanized because it does not find a home. If a pug cannot find a home for any reason, the pug will live in foster care.
Surrender Information Form
If you need to surrender a Pug, you must complete this form. You will be contacted by a volunteer as soon as possible. Please understand that we will not refuse assistance to any needy Pug, but it is essential that you provide complete, detailed and accurate information so that we can match the Pug with the most appropriate foster home.
If you have found a lost/stray Pug:
Please contact your local animal shelters and veterinarians offices prior to contacting Ohio Pug Rescue. Quite often, owners of lost pets have contacted these agencies looking for their pets. Additionally, shelters and veterinarians can scan the pet to see if it is microchipped and reunite it with its owner. We will happily accept found Pugs once preliminary efforts to find the owner have failed.
OPR does not adopt outside of the state of Ohio, no exceptions.
If you live outside Ohio and wish to adopt a Pug, please refer to your local Pug rescue.
Your generous donation to OPR is tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law.
