Volunteer Spotlight
Our Volunteer Spotlight features Clay Hull's story:
Clay discovered DFW Pug Rescue after she and her husband, John, got their first pug, Bear. As they drove to meet him, Clay jokingly told her husband they wouldn’t get the first dog they saw, and it could take time before they found “the one.”
However, as soon as Bear climbed in her arms, all that careful planning went out the window faster than a squirrel at a dog park. Bear made Clay a “pug person” and opened the door to a fun community of dedicated individuals passionate about pugs.
Clay began volunteering with DFW Pug Rescue, conducting home visits to ensure pugs go to good, safe home environments. She is now a Fund Development Coordinator and proud supporter of DFW Pug Rescue, a truly remarkable organization that embodies compassion, dedication and love for one of the most endearing dog breeds—pugs. No Pug Left Behind!
Pug Warrior Program
Monthly gifts from our Pug Warriors are essential in helping us rescue, rehabilitate, and re-home 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.
