Volunteer Spotlight
Our Volunteer Spotlight features Jim McLaury's story:
My first introduction to pugs was almost 14 years ago. My wife and I stopped at a local PetSmart in KC to look at rescue dogs from the Kansas State Penitentiary. Diana (my wife) found a 6-month-old puggle that was already house-trained. Love at first sight. So, Piper joined our other two dogs.
Piper and I moved to Texas a little over a year and a half ago. She was 12 and not in very good health. Her eyesight was failing, and she had cancer all over her body. I could not be selfish and had to say goodbye. I was not ready to adopt another pug just yet but began looking when I discovered DFW Pug Rescue. Retired and needing something to do, I started transporting pugs. I picked up this black pug named Faith. I had to keep her overnight and it was love at first sight again. She laid down beside me, stared up at me with her big brown eyes and I became a transport failure. Lady Di was a nickname I had for my wife, so renaming Faith Lady Di was a no brainer. Thank you, DFW Pug Rescue, for my constant companion.
Foster Dog Spotlight:
Our Foster Dog Spotlight features Jeeves' story:
Two-year-old pug mix Jeeves is an outgoing and playful boy who adapts well to any pack! He enjoys any activity that involves spending time with people and other dogs, including going to the dog park, going for walks, wrestling with his fellow canines, playing with stuffies and chew toys, and snuggling next to his humans in bed at night. Jeeves has lovely mealtime manners and is housetrained and doggie door trained. His ideal forever family will provide him with plenty of exercise, involve him in as many family activities as possible, and minimize his solo time. We think he would love to have another friendly pup to play with. If you’re looking for a good-natured best friend who is as extroverted as you are, Jeeves is your guy! Apply for him today!
Pug Warrior Program
Monthly gifts from our Pug Warriors are essential in helping us rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome nearly 400 pugs in need each year. In recognition of their gifts, Pug Warriors enjoy exclusive access to special events, volunteer opportunities, and behind-the-scenes glimpses into our efforts to ensure that no pug is left behind.
