How to Adopt a Pug

Thanks for your interest in adopting a Pug. When you take a Pug into your home, you are looking forward to years of Pug love, Pug hugs and Pug kisses.

Please keep in mind when you consider adopting a Pug that they are the most loving and affectionate of dogs. They require lots of attention and human companionship. If that's what you're looking for in a pet, then a Pug is the dog for you!

Adoption is easy, but there are a few requirements:

1. Attend a Little Angels Pug Rescue Adoption Fair. Visit with our Pugs available for adoption to see if there is one who seems like a good match for you.

2. Pick out the Pug whom you want to adopt.

3. Fill out an Adoption Application.

4. Complete the Interview Process.  This consists of a verbal interview with a Little Angels Adoption Counselor.  (We just want to find out something about  you and make sure that you understand what it is like to be owned by a Pug.) 

5. It takes one to two weeks to process your application and arrange for a home check. Your Pug will not be available until these steps are complete. In the event that more than one qualified owner is interested in the same Pug, we will have a drawing.

After the interview, you will be contacted by a Little Angels Volunteer to schedule a Home Visit.  Why is that necessary?  you may ask.  We want to make sure that there are no hazardous situations in your home which would endanger your new family addition.  If we find any problems, we can make recommendations and give you time to make corrections if necessary. 

Some examples of correctable problems we have found in the past
: swimming pools that aren't fenced off, gates or fences with gaps large enough for a Pug to squeeze through, gates without locks and items in the home which would be attractive to a Puggie looking for something to play with, but which could choke or otherwise damage their mouths or lungs.

6. When you pass the Home Visit, you will be notified by LAPR and the remaining items can be completed: the final paperwork, Adoption Donation and picking up your new Pug!

Why is it such a hassle?  It's not meant to be, it's meant to assure that your new Pug will be safe and cared for in his or her new home.  The process is the result of a series of lessons learned through a large number of adoptions.  Our only concern is for the well-being of our Little Angels and that years of happy companionship are assured for you and your new family member.

Your Obligations in Adopting a Pug

Adopting a Pug is a lifetime proposition. The average life span of a Pug is 15 years. Please do not consider adoption if you will not be able to meet this very important commitment.

Pugs can have potentially expensive health problems with their eyes and skin. Most dogs, including Pugs, are prone to joint problems and arthritis as they age. If you're thinking about adoption, consider the impact on your budget before you make your decision.

Little Angels Pug Rescue reserves the right to make periodic home visits to our adopted Pugs. If you move, you must notify Little Angels of your new address. If you are uncomfortable with this arrangement, adoption may not be for you.

If for any reason you are unable to keep the Pug you have adopted, he or she must be returned to Little Angels Pug Rescue, not given to your Aunt Frannie or your next-door neighbor Joe.

The contract you sign when you adopt is a legal document and will be enforced to the full extent of the law. In the past, the average judgment by the courts against parties violating adoption contracts has been $1,000 and up.

The Adoption Donation

The minimum donation we suggest for our Pugs is based on their age. When the Pug's exact age is unknown, our vet estimates age.

Your donation helps Little Angels cover the cost of spaying or neutering, DHLPP, Corona and Bordatella inoculations, other medical expenses and impound fees for your Pug.

Age of Pug Suggested Donation
under 6 months $500
7 mos-1 year $450
1-3 years $350
3-8 years $250
over 8 $150

Your donation is tax-deductible and goes towards not only the care of your Pug, but all of the Pugs rescued by Little Angels. We rescue Pugs regardless of age or physical condition and many come to us in need of costly veterinary care. When making a donation, you are supporting Little Angels in its mission of making sure every Pug has a loving home. If you are concerned solely with price, going through a rescue group is probably not the right choice for you.  

PLEASE NOTE: All adoption donations must be made in the form of cash or a money order.
