 Meet our Pugs & Pug Mixes

 

Pug Rescue of Austin typically has more than eighty available dogs at any given time. Not all available dogs are listed on our website and new dogs come in often.

Once you have been approved to adopt, an adoption coordinator will review all available dogs with you to help you find the best new addition to your family.

 

We Save Lives

Our goal is to never say no to a pug or pug mix in need. Most of the pugs we rescue have been in abusive, neglectful situations. We’re able to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome over 200 pugs and pug mixes a year thanks to the help of our outstanding medical partners, our network of transport volunteers and foster families, and donations from big-hearted pug lovers.

Upcoming Events

Meet & Greets, Pug Meetups, Fundraisers and more! 

We’d love to see you at some of our Upcoming Events.

Reminder: We do not do same day adoptions, but our events are a great way to meet some of our available dogs!

About Pug Rescue

Pug Rescue of Austin is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to the rescue and placement of abused, neglected and unwanted pugs. We do not discriminate on the basis of health or age.

Our mission is to provide a safe, caring and humane refuge for abandoned pugs and to ensure quality adoptive homes. Pug Rescue of Austin promotes responsible pug ownership through public education about the unique needs of pugs and a mandatory spay/neuter policy.

We are a volunteer based organization with no paid staff. We rely solely on donations and fundraisers to cover the medical expenses of our rescue pugs.
