The average cost of adopting a rescue pug is R900.

Our pledge;

- We do not place pugs on first-come first-serve basis. We take the matching process very seriously and our success has been the fact that we adopt pugs into compatible homes.
- We will not place an ill or unhealthy pug up for adoption. We will also disclose any medical condition that we are aware of to the prospective new owners. There are some pugs that arrive at rescue and we have no knowledge of their medical history or the conditions that they were homed in. If the health of the pug is a greater concern to you than giving a rescue pug a loving home then perhaps a rescue pug is not the right choice for you.

If you have not owned a pug before we suggest that you do some research on the pug breed before completing the adoption application. It is important that you know that;

*-* Pugs shed hair 365 days a year no matter how many times you brush them.
*-* Pugs snore.
*-* Pugs are NOT outside dogs, they were bred to be companions.
*-* Pugs can live for 14 – 17 years. Are you prepared to give them a loving home for their lifetime?
*-* Pugs are not very tolerant of exercise, however they love short walks and love to play.
