Pacific Pug Rescue is a 501c3 nonprofit organization incorporated in 2006. We exist to rescue, rehabilitate and place unwanted, abandoned, neglected and abused Pugs in permanent adoptive homes that have been carefully screened. We rescue Pugs from throughout Oregon, Idaho and Washington regardless of age or medical condition and are dedicated to providing for their short and long-term medical needs. Prior to adoption, Pug dogs are cared for in approved foster homes; they receive medical care and treatment, spaying or neutering, dental checks, vaccinations and microchips. We strive to educate the public about the Pug dog breed, including its personality, health issues and care, and about the importance of domestic animal population control.
Paws and Pumpkins is a special needs focused cat rescue. We take in cats that have been turned away by other rescues/shelters due to their special needs/circumstances. Our cats get the care they need from the comfort of our cat rooms or foster homes instead of kennels or crates while they're with us. We have a highly personalized adoption process that allows adopters to take their time selecting their new family member based on their personality. Our goal is to reduce the number of returns and rehoming situations that occur when people rush the adoption process and end up adopting a cat that doesn't work with their lifestyle.
