Pug Rescues in Every State (44+ Rescues!)

Pugs, with their adorably wrinkled faces and bubbly personalities, they’ve captured the hearts of countless dog lovers around the world. And while everyone loves a pug pup, finding a responsible, good breeder can be hard… and not only that, there are many owners who for whatever reason couldn’t be there for the life of their pug, and they end up in a rescue.

It’s unfortunate, but not all pugs find themselves in loving forever homes from the start. Many end up in shelters due to various circumstances, which is where pug rescues step in.

Some may be hesitant adopting an older pug, but the average lifespan is relatively high at 12-15 years, and we’ve seen pugs as old as 23-years old!

In this blog post, we’ll take a journey across the United States to explore pug rescues in every state, shedding light on the dedicated individuals and organizations that work tirelessly to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome these lovable companions.
