Year End Giving: Help Us Change More Pug Lives
As the year comes to a close, we’re reflecting on the 225 pugs whose lives were transformed this year thanks to supporters like you.
From seniors needing extensive medical care to abandoned, neglected, and special needs pugs who arrive with urgent needs, your generosity makes every rescue possible.
Year-end gifts are especially impactful - they allow us to enter the new year prepared for the unexpected, ready to handle emergency intakes and able to say “yes” when a pug needs us most.
Whether you give a one-time gift, become a monthly donor, or dedicate a donation in honor of a loved one, your support ensures we can continue our mission into the new year with strength and heart.
A huge THANK YOU to our Secret Santas this year!
Because of you, our Forever Care foster pugs have full stockings and felt extra loved this holiday season.
Your generosity brought warm beds, fun toys, special treats, and lasting comfort to pugs who will always call our rescue home.
We are endlessly grateful to every single person who stepped up to be a Secret Santa:

How You Can Help the Pugs
Adopt
Surrender
Foster
Would you like to open your home and heart to a pug? The pugs we rescue vary from young and healthy to senior with ongoing health issues, but they all have one thing in common: They are looking for loving, stable homes to call their own.

We rely on the support of caring and committed foster homes to help pugs in need. All of our pugs stay with foster families until they find their forever home. We provide the medical care - you provide the shelter and love.
Donate

Your support helps us save pugs in need. In 2024, we spent nearly $300,000 on medical care alone. We rely entirely on donations, and 100% goes directly to medical bills, food, supplies, and rescuing dogs from unsafe situations.

PRFG is a 2025 Grey Muzzle Grant Recipient
We’re thrilled to announce that we are one of 119 grant recipients awarded funding from the $1.57 million distributed by The Grey Muzzle Organization to support lifesaving efforts for senior dogs.
This critical funding supports animal shelters and rescues across the USA, France, and Nepal in developing senior-focused programs—including medical and dental care, surrender prevention, hospice care, and adoption incentives. This Grey Muzzle Grant will allow us to help senior pugs in our care.
A huge thank you to Grey Muzzle and their generous supporters for making this possible and for believing in a time where every senior dog finds safety, love, and a soft landing.
