Breed Specific Rescue

Hi Joe,

My name is Stacy Pixley and I am a regular reader of your blog. Recently, I read comments about breed specific rescues and I wanted to shared some information about a breed specific rescue with you and your readers. I am a volunteer with a breed specific rescue called The Mid-Atlantic Pug Rescue. The Mid-Atlantic Pug Rescue is a non-profit organization in which volunteers (absolutely NO paid employees) come together for one common goal, to save pugs. We will take any pug, regardless of behavioral or medical problems. All pugs rescued receive exceptional veterinary care and live with foster families until they are ready to be adopted. The wonderful thing about them living in foster homes is that we really get to learn about their personalities, temperaments, and they get well socialized with people and other animals. Because of this we have been very successful in placing pugs in loving homes. Our adoption fee varies with the age of the pug but they are minimal compared to what you would pay for a pug from a pet store puppy mill and all dogs come altered and up to date on all shots. The website is http://www.midatlanticpugrescue.org and there is a wealth of information on the organization there as well as pics of pugs up for adoption and the adoption applications. In addition, for those not interested in adoption, donations are very much welcome as this year we have spent close to 100,000 dollars in vet bills alone to rescue pugs and pug mixes. Not only a volunteer, I have adopted a pug as well and I can tell you with all certainty RESCUE PUGS ROCK.

Thanks so much,

Stacy Pixley
