Join our community in giving for North Texas Giving Day
At DFW Pug Rescue, our biggest expense by far is medical care. This North Texas Giving Day, you can help us continue our mission to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome pugs in need, no matter their age, condition, or cost.
Early giving starts August 18. The official North Texas Giving Day is September 17.
The reality of where we’re at…
This year in March and April alone, we took in nearly 100 pugs and averaged $47,800 in vet bills per month! Each month since, our monthly expenses have grown.
2026 has has had more intake than we’ve EVER experienced and our funds are completely depleted.
We need more than individual gifts this year.
Medical needs are rising faster than donations, and we’re asking our community to think bigger this North Texas Giving Day.
That means:
Checking if your employer offers donation matching
Asking your company about corporate giving or sponsorships
Making a one-time gift in honor of a group, team, or business
Sharing this campaign with others who can give alongside you
Every dollar is tax-deductible, and every expanded gift helps us continue lifesaving medical care for pugs who arrive with urgent, complex needs.
