NW Pugs Supports the Seattle Pug Rescue

In addition to the events, the group also participates in fundraising events that support the Seattle Pug Rescue. In the past few years, many puppymills have been raided and many pugs were taken into shelters. Dogs rescued from puppymills are often in bad health and require veterinarian attention and medical supplies. The Seattle Pug Rescue is an organization that helps any pug in need. Relinquished pugs are thoroughly examined and provided any health care necessary. Then, the pug is welcomed with open arms into one of the many foster homes. The foster pug parents will care for the pug until it is placed in its forever home.

According to the Seattle Pug Rescue website, so far in 2010 this organization has rescued 148 pugs and placed 127 in forever homes.

The members of NW Pugs participate in events and fundraisers to raise money for this organization and support its efforts. In 2009, NW Pugs donated 372 pounds of dog food along with leashes, collars and toys, $175 in cash and 5 gift baskets to be auctioned worth $300 to the Seattle Pug Rescue. In 2010, the goal is 500 pounds of dog food and already $261 in cash has been raised.
