Pug Rescue of Florida, Inc. (PROoF) is a non-profit 501(c)3 animal rescue organization that exists for the sole purpose of finding caring, safe, and loving permanent homes for rescued, displaced, and homeless pugs and pug mixes regardless of age or condition.
To begin the adoption application review process you must: Submit a $20.00 non-refundable application processing donation via Paypal. Once payment is made, you MUST select "RETURN TO MERCHANT" and you will be directed to our online adoption application. Complete online adoption application. Once you have completed an adoption application please contact your vet and request/give them permission to send your pets' health records to Pug Rescue of Florida. These records should be emailed to pugrescueofflorida@gmail.com or faxed to 1-888-255-7971. If your veterinary reference(s) cannot verify care history, spay/neuter, heartworm, and vaccination status of your pet(s) then processing of your application will be stopped. Ideally we would like to see information covering the past 3 years of care. To move forward in the application review process your current pets MUST at a minimum be: spayed/neutered (unless your vet confirms this can not be done for health reasons); up to date on Rabies and DHPP (if under age 8) vaccines; given regular annual heartworm exams/administered consistent preventative medication; well cared for on a consistent basis including annual wellness exams and bloodwork for senior pets. After the vet check is found to be good, the additional steps in the application review process will include: landlord check/verification of home ownership; telephone interview; home check by one of our volunteers. Once your application review has been completed you will then be able to talk with the pug’s foster parent and meet the pug in an agreed upon location. If our volunteers determine the pug is a good match for your family, you will be able to adopt that pug. We do not transport our pugs. You must be willing to go meet and adopt the pug in or near their foster home. All decisions on placing dogs in adoptive homes are based solely on the judgment of the volunteers and coordinators of Pug Rescue of Florida. We do not guarantee any pug to any adopter. We do not operate on a first come, first serve basis.
